Over 40 years ago, a psychologist from Columbia University began to channel revelations from the spiritual entity that she was convinced was Jesus himself. She and her assistants produced teachings that filled countless empty pages over a period of seven years which later became "A Course In Miracles."

The psychologist was a Jewish lady named Helen Schucman, and she told people that Jesus Christ himself was her very own spirit guide for these lessons and teachings. These lessons were supposed to offer credence for individuals to discover that these were the only ones in control of their particular feelings, attitudes, actions and destinies. The teachings took many penalties of actions out from the equation. Indeed, a hallmark of the ACIM course is that evil itself does not exist. The ACIM teachings insist that by training the mind properly, you are able to learn that there surely is no such thing as evil, and that it is a perception or a thing that others have set around frighten and control those things and thoughts of those people who are not effective at thinking for themselves. ACIM insists that the thing that does exist is pure love and that innocent minds and spiritually right thinking won't allow anything like evil to exist.

These ideas and beliefs angered many people who belonged to a number of the major faiths because, while they espoused many of the same principles, this course also sought to possess people think that evil is not real and therefore sin can also be not real. ACIM itself tries to possess people rely on the sanctity of right and wise beliefs and behavior and in the fact nothing can harm you until you believe that it can. New Age gurus were quick to grasp onto these concepts because many of the New Age religions are based not on sin and redemption but the ability of one's own mind and spirit.

ACIM has some teachings about just how to rid yourself of angry and negative emotions which can be flooding your daily life with problems and creating illness and unhappiness day by day  course of miracles. A Course In Miracles teaches you that you're responsible for these feelings and they are only hurting you. Therefore, it is your decision to rid them from your daily life on your own happiness and prosperity.
