A Course in Miracles is a three-volume set consisting of the Text, Workbook for Students, and Manual for Teachers. It aims to undo the illusion of separation from God and others by teaching forgiveness, releasing the past, and cultivating higher guidance. The Text presents the theoretical foundation, the Workbook provides 365 daily lessons to change the student's mind and perception, and the Manual for Teachers addresses practical questions and clarifies key terms. The course emphasizes the importance of spiritual vision, the unity of all, and the correction of misperceptions to achieve inner peace and happiness[3][4][5].
An episode that figured out it was in a cult!
In Episode 129 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, we’re talking about cults and extremist religious movements in autistic culture. We’re joined by Jude Mills, an autistic theologian and former hospice chaplain, and host of Fkd up by faith, whose research and lived experience offer us an inside look at why this isn’t just a trauma story—it’s a culture story.Here’s what we cover in today’s episode:
* Why do so many of us Autistics find ourselves in Cults? Why do we stay?
* The same traits that can make autistic folks susceptible to cults—intense focus, logical systems, emotional honesty—also show up in the leaders of these movements. But what does it mean when the very systems that exploit autistic people are often built by someone with autistic traits?
* What happens to your SPIN when it used to be Jesus or Revelation or prophecy? Do you mourn it? Rework it?
* What does the journey out look like for most people? What’s uniquely hard for autistic folks?
