The coaching groups are led by me, Lars Gimstedt,
Psychosynthesis Therapist and Life Coach.

A PS Perspective on ACIM is meant to be a support tool for those that have decided
to work with A Course in Miracles, which in itself is a complete and comprehensive
self-study course.
A prerequisite for A PS Perspective on ACIM is that you already have purchased A Course in Miracles. (You can find it in our Amazon affiliate store under the category Spiritual Development.)
What is A Course in Miracles?
A Course in Miracles (ACIM)is one of the most renowned and influential books within the area of spiritual development. It is about how we through training can learn to see through our ego-conditioned perception of reality and to attain our natural state of being, unconditional love.
Since the publication of ACIM 1976, today (2013) two million copies have been sold, and it has been translated into 25 foreign languages. Many other translations are in progress.
ACIM presents itself like this:
This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time.
The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite.
This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
There are hundreds of courses on ACIM, so why another one ?
Hundreds of books, courses and web sites about ACIM have been published over the years. As ACIM is quite extensive (the three books have in total 1200 pages), and can by many be experienced as difficult, theoretical and philosophical, many of these books and courses are offered in order to help "ACIM students" to understand and be able to practice the message of ACIM.
So why has this course, A PS Perspective on ACIM, been added to the long list of already existing ones?
A PS Perspective on ACIMhas been developed for you who are an "ACIM student", and for you who are also interested in Cognitive Psychosynthesis and other similar modern psychological methods for positive inner change, as affirmation, visualizations, and mental training.
In addition to four sections introducing the view of reality presented in ACIM, A PS Perspective on ACIM also presents all 365 ACIM lessons in text and streaming audio, and after many of the lessons I have commented the lesson from a psychological perspective. There are also many exercises from Cognitive Psychosynthesis, that can enhance and deepen the inner change ACIM strives to accomplish.
In my work as a Psychosynthesis Therapist I often use material from old spiritual traditions and sources, as this has always been a part of the history of Psychosynthesis. I have therefore added material of this kind in many of my comments and clarifications.
The extensive study material that is used in the coaching group A PS Perspective on ACIM has also been made available as a self-study
e-course, which you can buy here and immediately download after the purchase.
The e-course A PS Perspective on ACIM will coach you in your studies of ACIM, which aims at making you aware of what your Higher Self really is, and make you re-establish your oneness with God.
The e-course has 85 sections, 76 of which presents ACIMs 365 lessons in text and streaming audio together with my comments, the "psychological perspective".
The other 9 sections are about the message and the world view of ACIM and include 6 Psychosynthesis Visualizations on mp3 files. You can listen to these streaming
on-line or download them to you computer or mp3 player.
In the course material 10 meditations will also be presented, where you will be asked to reflect on your level of progress in your spiritual awakening, by meditating on an image, and on three short poems.
James Twyman has composed a song for each lesson, and YouTube links to these have been included in this course, at each lesson.
Click on the video to the left, to listen to one of James' other songs.
Many of the lessons of ACIM have also been used by Alisa Amoras the lyrics for the music album "In Every Heartbeat".
You can listen on-line to these songs in connection to a number of the lessons. You can also buy or download the CD from Amazon.

ACIM speaks repeatedly of the Choice, the choice between letting fear reign or letting love reign. The choice between ego-thoughts and "True Thinking", or "Right-mindedness". ACIM came about as a book from such a choice, when Helen Schucman, the scribe, exclaimed to her colleague Bill Thetford, as a reaction of frustration over work place conflicts that had become entrenched, "There must be another way!" and both of them answered with choosing to try to see the situation in a new way.
The board game Miracle Choice focuses on this Choice - watch a video about the philosophy around this:

The book is a fiction novel about the Jesus that comes forth in ACIM, the real person.
The book is an attempt to show how His Gospel could have looked like, and it is based on the message of ACIM as well as on modern historical research about the time era of Jesus.
The Biblical gospels are symbolic narratives, where focus was to prove how the prophecies about the Messiah became fulfilled, not to recount what really happened.
An adventure story about the square-headed engineer John Zacharias, how he was provoked into reading ACIM, and about his spiritual journey towards enlightenment.
Read about how the message of ACIM can been brought down to to earth.
This book is a joint venture and is a collection of short stories from different "students of A Course in Miracles".
The stories show what can happen when you start to use ACIM, instead of only reading, focusing on the theory, discussing, and so on.
When you realize that you cannot judge things correctly, and when you surrender all your decisions to The Holy Spirit, you are on a course to miracles.
Get inspired by this book and invite miracles into your life!
"This is a manual for a special curriculum, intended for teachers of a special form of the universal course. There are many thousands of other forms, all with the same outcome. They merely save time." (M1.4)
Eckard Tolle, in his teachings, also offers "a special curriculum", which works well as a complement to ACIM. Watch for example this video:
Another "special curriculum", that I personally believe originates from the same Source as ACIM,
is A Course of Love.
The version shown here is a combined volume of the three books A Course of Love, The Treaties of A Course of Love and The Dialogues of A Course of Love.
As I believe that ACOL is in fact a sequel to ACIM,
I have quoted ACOL here and there in the course A PS Perspective on ACIM.
At the end of the course there is a long list of ACIM resources, as books and web sites.
An example of a web site, one offering a social network, is Miracle Share.

Customer feed-back:
Thank you so much for your online course.
I am a student of ACIM and have been involved with the course for many years. I also have a diploma in Psychosynthesis.
Over time I have incorporated both when leading groups.
But, in the last four years I haven't found the time to experience my deep connection with both, and by enrolling in your on line course I already found the first visualization extremely beneficial. Looking forward to more insightful journeys.
