I believe Helen was channeled. I also believe that Jesus is the author. I came home from my first CIM meeting and told my husband that I found the answer to all of our unanswered questions and I had many. I couldn't get enough of it. You know the truth when you hear it. So eloquently written I am still in awe of it.
Great post Sean. I don't think I even knew or cared who wrote it or where it came from when I first read it, I just felt for the first time I was reading the Truth. And you know what, I still feel the same all these years on. Only now it is not simply that it makes perfect sense to me on an intellectual level I have experienced the truth of it over and over again at a heart level.
This is the point though isn't it, we need to experiment with it, we have to do the work, as it is only in experiencing of it that the validation comes. Over and over I get to experience the truth of it for real, and with each experience the Love gets deeper, stronger and truly known. And of course as we get results we practice it more and more, then we are opened to more Love, more Truth.
It is such a gift, just as you are, so thank you for sharing this post with us all. Much Love as Always Suzy.
I don't care who wrote it,it's the truth. Like many others I've been searching with blinkers on, not knowing what I was searching for and with so many unformed questions and unanswered ones I was bewildered. Then the course came into my life, and it rescued me. Yes it rescued me. And thank you Sean for ironing out for me!us for that's what you do Sean
Thank you Sean for a wonderful sharing . I believe Jesus is the Author of the Course.. I love the Course, Its honesty clarity precision completeness and aliveness. Even though sometimes I get very frustrated with It, even though sometimes I don’t want to believe in it I know somewhere deep inside it is true. Hence the deep relief, even though I seem to be kicking and screaming, dragging my feet most of the time 😊 I am grateful 🙏🙏
A difficult and controversial question that confuses many. Sean gives keys to understand the question. No easy task. If we follow his reasoning the answer answers itself. He is a trustworthy teacher of ACIM. I've been reading his insightful understanding. As an ex Jesuit professor of philosophy for decades, and student of the Course, he is a serious teacher with a sense of humor and paradox that is enjoyable, as I believe Jesus do smile.
I have imagined ACIM was not written by any individual, but by and from the point of view of any enlightened, fully awakened being…an amalgamation of soul(s)...More specifically, a modern voice that used organized Christianity as a foil. I guess what I mean is, Buddha didn't write The Course, but I know he would be down with it.

Insightful. Seems true as with all we bring ourselves to Jesus. I see lots of projection.

Who truly wrote any great works?
And again there to me it does not matter, did Shakespeare write those great works did he ever exist, did Jesus exist?
Don’t matter, nothing matters, for isn’t matter an illusion?
I used to question everything to such a degree that if there wasn’t enough proof I’d discard it…
But I’ve grown older n a little bit wiser, lol, and I still like what we say in AA, God as we understood it! Paraphrasing some…
Sean I have 2 of your books n I read them over n over, ty for your work on simplifying ACIM some for me at least🙏🌻

Thank you Sean. Your comments on practical aspects of the course deepen my "grok"ing.
