What Are The Different Versions Of Acim People Study There are four major, different, versions of a course in miracles that people study. i’ve listed them below in the order that they were created. the earlier the edition, the less it was edited. much of the editing removed material considered, for many reasons, to not be appropriate for the final version of acim. some think that it was helen. Since its scribing by dr. helen schucman and dr. bill thetford between 1965 and 1972, acim has undergone various edits and revisions, resulting in several versions available today. understanding these versions can help you choose the one most aligned with your spiritual path. here is an overview of the key editions. In short, the different versions of a course in miracles correlate to the different phases of scribing and editing the course: version 1: the original handwritten notes, written by helen as they were dictated to her by the voice of jesus during 1965 1972. version 2: the thetford transcript. this is a typed copy of the original, handwritten notes. Since both schucman and thetford are now deceased, all subsequent versions of acim which are not largely exact reproductions of their versions, are post scribal versions. except for future editions which seek only to reproduce their work with zero undocumented changes, all future editions will be of this sort.

There are 4 main editions out on the market: the foundation for inner peace edition, published by the fip. (read online here) all of these can be read for free online. the thetford foundation even gives out hard copies of the sparkle edition for free, and you can send a donation if you feel so moved. Many students like the more consistently defined and better edited fip facim edition. many student like the more open, more psychological, and not so strictly defined acim original edition. the choice of which version any student should study remains between the student and the holy spirit. perhaps both should be studied at different times. And yes, that version is the newest (the third edition) and contains all the classic material (preface, text, workbook for students, manual for teachers, clarification of terms) and also the supplements that helen channeled at the end (psychotherapy and the song of prayer). Yes, the meaning or effect any one edition of acim have for anyone is highly individualized, since by themselves they're all equally meaningless [lesson 1], all the different editions only have the meaning that we give them [lesson 2].
