Since you will be studying the everyday language of Jesus, the Christ; it behooves you to learn to read what He said, and how He said it. This will be a labor of love. Being able to 'stand in his shoes' is an experience none will soon forget. You will know Him in a way far better than most.

This is a one year program, and a requirement for all those in School of Ministry. 25 Credit Hours. $25 US. Plus fees and materials

ACIM
A Course In Miracles

SCHOOL OF MINISTRY, SFIU

SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, SFIU

This Course is well-known world-wide with study groups in most locales. For those with a solid spiritual background, this is recommended as an entry level course. The Internet has several on-line study groups for discussion and feed-back with other Students. It is Ecumenical, and Trans-Denominational.

The Course is the foremost Metaphysical Program now available. Many Students and Teachers report very positive changes in their lives from this Program.

I will tell you I got my Doctorate in this Course, and never regretted it. It helped me to realize the ways of thinking about life I had always held as true should be rethought. The Courses' definitions of reality I have found from experience to be true.

In my professional and personal opinion, the Glossary should be read first, then the Text, followed by the Manual for Teachers. Next, practice the Workbook as your choice. By then, you will understand to what the Workbook refers. If you use the Workbook first, you will have a very difficult time understanding some of the terminology, and likely become confused by definitions.

Some of the Workbook methodologies I disagree with, if the Workbook is to be used as an intro. It surmises that others you will deal with understand your point of view. They do not, in most cases. You and I will, perhaps. But, I will not surmise to infer anyone else will.

In the unscrupulous hands of a trained manipulator, this course could be dangerous, as the tool of a Cult. The Preface states positively it should not be used for that purpose. If any of the Students or Teachers under my charge use it for that purpose, you will probably have me as a witness against you in a Court of Law. That is neither a threat, nor a pre-judgement. It is a promise. If not me, then someone else, under the Universal Law of Reciprocals. Your Ethical Standards should always be without question, by your conduct. Jesus said: "By their fruit, you shall know them." This is discernment, not judgement.

The Course states it is based on the Love of Christ. Use it in that manner, and you will have no problem. In my experience, the methods used as recommended; will result in 'Miracles' happening in your life. Then, you will realize, they are not Miracles at all, but the way everyone should live; if they live by the Love of Christ. You will experience Love and Joy, which are indescribable. I recommend every high school in this world should have this course as a requirement for their students. Upon completion, you should have no further interest in violence as a solution.

This is my recommendation.

SFIU requires this course for every Degree Program before graduation.

The Course is free. The printed books are not free.

The study manual is in three parts; Text with Glossary, Manual for Teachers and Workbook. ACIM duration is a minimum one year of 365 Lessons. Access and/or Purchase of the three part manual and materials is required.

I suggest looking in Libraries, including some Churchs; used book stores, and querying ACIM Centers on the Internet for used books. Unity Churchs also feature this book. Buddy up with a colleague. 25 Credit Hours.

We are welcome to suggestions for improvements from Students. Please be specific.

Remember: We are providing creative material that all concerned may have the opportunity to fulfill their destiny.

Testing will be conducted at unscheduled time periods. Tests are guides. If you spiritually know your material, complications should not arise. In most cases, dissertations will serve as tests. They will show you where your strong areas are, as well as those which need work. Dissertations will be repeated, as necessary; with counseling and guidance.

Some have asked me to define the difference between Dissertation and Thesis.

Dissertations are review milestones in each Program. They occur periodically, depending upon the Program. They are assigned by Teachers, Counselors; and myself. They are Tests, and Student Reviews; combined.

Thesis are for completion of the SPIRITUAL MASTERS and SPIRITUAL DOCTORATE Programs. These are very detailed extensions of the Dissertation concept. You will have plenty of practice by the time you reach this level. The experience will be very natural and highly rewarding for you. Your Thesis will be equal to any Program from any other University you may encounter. By our lights, they are superior. This is not ego. It is fact. We know our standards to be the highest you may encounter.

This is a natural point to review Accreditation. I found something infinitely interesting while attempting Official Accreditation. As an International Institution, with applications to the Global, we fall under no guidelines. This is further exacerbated by the fact we have no physical buildings. All Official Accreditation is based upon physical inspection by the reviewers. This is again a case of Technology outstripping the thinking and reactions of Educational Institutions. Personally, I feel sorry for them. Professionally, this should have been anticipated long ago. Tradition is strong within Academe. Have I made my point to my brothers in the higher halls of learning? With love and respect, I trust you will ameliorate this situation.

Therefore, voluntarily; we have agreed to, and initiated the guidelines they abide, except for physical inspection. This will be specified in detail on linked page{s}.

Until Global specifications are granted by some Official Agency, we will step out front and accredit other totally electronic Schools and Universities of Higher Learning, which have no physical buildings. Under written statement of compliance, they will be assumed to be honorable. We are not trying to be presumptous here. Ideally, the United Nations should assume this function, and remove it from my job description. Soon, I trust. My cup already runneth over.

We are not here to 'flunk' students. We are here to guide students. Although milestones are reached in each Program, learning should never stop, even for those who guide you. Our Staff constantly studies in their spare time, to keep up with you. You will find many beside you in spirit; studying for higher degrees with you. Susie has been the first. May she not be the last.

Upon the completion of The Way Gospel, The Way Collection validation, The Odyssey Collection, and this current accomplishment: The Searcher Foundation Internet University, SFIU; I have been told I should be awarded full Professor Status. So much wordly blather. If a title impresses you, and absolute necessary for your confidence; then consider it done. From my view, I am a lowly teacher who realizes how much I do not know. My ego does not require it. Personally and professionally, I see no end to the sheer joy of study and research. Please join me.

Please, always be ready for loving guidance in positive applications.

We have many teachers on Staff who are superior teachers to myself. Many are not only gentler in their approach, but more nurturing. Through years of experience and my personality, I have found question and challenge sessions mixed with {'humorous'?} allegories to be most productive for the Student. My mentors have dared me to be great. Could I do less for you? I trust you will enjoy my courses. I love to teach, have as much fun telling stories as any aspiring comedian; and hope to pass that passion on to you; that you might share it with others. Jesus was the Master Teacher in this regard. He has always been my Mentor and Way-shower as a Teacher. I trust He will be yours, as well.

Thank you. Bless you. Peace and Good Will to one and all.

I remain your Brother in Christ, and fellow Child of God.
