A Course in Miracles (also referre to as ACIM or "the Course") is a book considered by its students to be their "spiritual path". According to psychologist Helen Schucman, she and psychologist William Thetford "scribed" the book by means of a process coming from a divine source through a form which Schucman referred to as "inner dictation". Schucman said the source of her channeling was Jesus Christ.
