The Unlearning School: Key to References

Welcome

Welcome to The Unlearning School. The site is about working with A Course in Miracles: for more about the Course and further links, see below.
A Course in Miracles is a complete course of learning for any individual to study in private for their own relief and enlightenment. The purpose of the commentaries here is to clarify my own thoughts about the Course and to invite further consideration of this profound and beautiful work.

Some of the ideas ... you will find hard to believe, and others may seem to be quite startling. This does not matter ...You are asked only to use them. It is their use that will give them meaning to you, and will show you that they are true.
Remember only this; you need not believe the ideas, you need not accept them, and you need not even welcome them. Some of them you may actively resist. None of this will matter, or decrease their efficacy. But do not allow yourself to make exceptions in applying the ideas the workbook contains, and whatever your reactions to the ideas may be, use them. Nothing more than that is required.

The references in brackets following quotations from the Course indicate the source of the quotation. I have in principle followed the referencing system established by the Course publishers and the Foundation for A Course in Miracles.

The first letter in the brackets indicates the book where the quotation comes from, in the combined volume of the Course or from one of the two supplements:

T = Text

W = Workbook

M = Manual

C = Clarification of Terms

P = Psychotherapy supplement

S = The Song of Prayer supplement

The following numbers then refer to Chapter, Section, Paragraph and Sentence, in that order.

A B or C refer to subsections; in = Introduction, ep = Epilogue.

Examples:

Forgive and be forgiven (W122 6:4) is in Workbook Lesson 122, paragraph 6: sentence 4

You are still convinced that your understanding is a powerful contribution to the truth, and makes it what it is (T18 V 7:5) …is in Text, Chapter 18, Section V, paragraph 7: sentence 5

Note: The 1992 second edition and subsequent editions of the Course are numbered with chapter and verse, but earlier editions and the original green British version are not, and the page numbering is different. To find a quotation there you need to look for the given chapter in the Contents, and count the sub-sections, paragraphs and sentences for yourself. Or contact me and I will give you the page number.
