A Course Of Love By Mari Perron.

A Course of Love, The Treatises of A Course of Love, and The Dialogues of A Course of Love, are a three book series of revealed writings on the nature of the self. The three books form one whole. They were written over a three-year period, in a process known as scribing.

The books of A Course Of Love are about a new way. From ACOL 26.13: "Are you not simply ready to be done with the way things have been and to begin a new way? Are you not ready to listen to a new voice?"

Excerpts

From the Chapter: Oneness and Duality

19.16

To think without thought or know without words are ideas quite foreign to you, and truly, while you remain here, even experiences beyond thoughts and words you will apply word and thought to. Yet love has often brought you close to a “thought-less” and “word-less” state of being, and it can do so again. As you join with your own Self in unity, all that in love you have created and received returns to its home in you, and leaves you in a state of love in which the wordless and formless is very near.

From the Chapter: The Full Life

26.10	You who struggle to understand what these words say and what they might mean, who strive to find the clues to what they ask you to do, will find it difficult to cease your struggle and your striving. You find it almost impossible still to believe effort is not called for — that what your heart but wishes for could simply come true through your acceptance of these words. But I am prepared to make it easy for you
26.11	You who have so sought happiness without finding it, rejoice. It is not lost. It does not require you to define it or put a name to it before it can be yours. Is this not what you have cried about in frustration? Have you not long sought to put a name on happiness? Have you not long lamented that if you knew what would bring you happiness you would surely pursue it? Have you not long stated that if you knew what would bring meaning to your life you would surely do it? Have you not long wished to know your purpose? To be given a goal that would fulfill the longing in you? Have you not prayed for signs? Read books that have promised you a series of steps to take to get where you want to go, only to realize you know not where that is?
26.12	And have you not become impatient with advice, with teachers and with courses of study? Have you not felt at the limit of your patience with instruction? Have you not felt the call to live growing stronger in you by the day? Are you not anxious to say: “Tell me what to do and I will do it?” Are you not ready for certainty above all else? Are you not ready to be done with studying and to begin with living? Have you not become increasingly convinced that you have not been living, and wondered what it is you have been doing? Have you not grown weary of what passes for life in your world? Have you not wished you could throw out all the thoughts and worries that fill your mind and begin anew?
26.13	Are you not simply ready to be done with the way things have been and to begin a new way? Are you not ready to listen to a new voice?
26.14	All this frustration and impatience has been building. This buildup has been necessary. Now, like an explosion waiting to happen, it only needs a trigger to be released. With its release the new can begin.
26.15	This Course is but a trigger. These words the prelude to the explosion. It is as if you have been waiting for someone to whisper: Now! The whisper has come. The time is now.

The Scribe
Mari Perron is the person who took the inner dictation from Jesus, and who physically wrote the books. She calls the process through which they were written receiving. As the creator of this site, Mari contributes her voice and vision in support of those taking up this process. (more)

The Tradition
A Course of Love follows in the tradition of A Course in Miracles, and was presented to Mari as a “new” course in miracles. It is a new course, for a new time. In a larger sense, it is of the prophetic tradition, a tradition that always speaks to a particular people in a particular time, and calls them out of complacency to newness.

The Message
Each of us has love at our center. When we live from that center, joining mind and heart, we can live truly, and can come to sustain the awareness that we are not separate. We exist in unity.
