Center for Miraculous Living, LLC

Walking the path of A Course in Miracles to end suffering and awaken one another to holiness, equality, and worth.

Welcome to the Center!

If you are new to A Course in Miracles, or spirituality in general, or if you are a long-time student of the Course’s path, we are glad you’re here. There could be any number of reasons you dropped by. And stirring underneath each there is likely a longing for what is most true, fundamental, fulfilling, meaningful–a longing for what some might call God, and others might call enlightenment, liberation, abiding peace, or awakening.

Many of you have become dissatisfied with the major “meaning-making institutions” of the modern world (family, education, academia, religion, government, business/work, science/technology, health and fitness, the arts, etc.). These are the systems you and everyone else naturally turn to in order to build a successful, fulfilling life. Ultimately, we long for something more, something deeper, something new–hoping beyond hope for an end to endless suffering.

A Path We Walk Together

Like every religion or spiritual path, A Course in Miracles provides an understanding of the cause of suffering (its view of “the problem“) that differs greatly from the norm. It then offers a practical and effective way to end suffering (its “solution” or “answer“)—not by changing things in the external world, but through a change in our way of seeing. The central means the Course gives to facilitate this change is a practice of other-focused forgiveness unlike any found in traditional religion or psychology. We could call it “miraculous forgiveness.”

Miraculous forgiveness is not about accepting what the other person did or pretending it didn’t matter. It goes much deeper—healing our minds in such a way that we see beyond our false and mistaken perception of the other person, so we can perceive them as they truly are. We then extend this healing to them through an expression of love, thus healing their mind/perception. Through the principle of “giving is receiving,” we start to notice how our perception of ourselves begins to change. As we perceive the truth in them, we perceive that same truth in ourselves.

“Everyone you see in light brings your light closer to your own awareness.” (CE T-13.VI.10:3)

Perhaps you can see how this is not a solitary path. We are not instructed to withdraw from others and the world in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. The Course is clear that we need one another—”mighty companions” [CE M-4.I.6:11]—to walk the path with us. Through individual sessions, Course study groups, workshops, and teachings rooted in the ideas and practices of the Course, the Center for Miraculous Living exists to be part of that companionship for you.
