“Forgiveness: occurs when we realise our wholeness can’t be affected by anyone, or anything. We no longer blame someone else for our lack of peace in the here and now. The Course’s path to healing and inner peace.”
― Stephanie Panayi, Alchemists of Suburbia: A Course in Miracles, Psychology and the Art of Integration

“The Bible-like form of the Course reflects its function as a correction for the Bible’s exclusory and punitive teachings. Though it has been a source of guidance for many, the Bible has also contributed to a great deal of pain. Minority groups, animals and the environment as a whole have long felt the brunt of the Bible’s divisive passages. Humans are to have dominion over the earth; if you ‘spare the rod’ you ‘spoil the child’; ‘the head of woman is man’: these are just a few Biblical statements that people have used to justify denigration and brutality.”
