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.

Excerpts

A Treatise on the Art of Thought
From the Chapter: The Choice for Love

5.14

Mindfulness and wholeheartedness are but different expressions of the union of mind and heart. Mindfulness will aid you in remembering. Wholeheartedness will aid you in reconciling the laws of God with the laws of man. Through mindfulness you will remember who you are. Through wholeheartedness you will be who are.

A Treatise on the Nature of Unity and Its Recognition
From the Chapter: To Hear the Call

2.7	Those who seek an explanation before following a calling, who look for reasons of a practical nature, who would seek guarantees of the rightness and outcome of following such a call, seek for proof they have already been given. The call itself is proof. It is proof of the heart’s ability to be heard. Of the heart’s ability to recognize the unseen and to imagine the existence of that which will reveal its true nature and its joy.
2.8	All of you are capable of hearing the truth of what the heart would tell you. You are just as capable of believing in that truth as of doubting it. All that prevents you from believing in truth is a mind and heart acting in separation rather than in union.
2.9	You think that what prevents you from being who you are is far broader than this simple idea of hearing and following a calling would indicate. You think what prevents you from being who you are is far broader than a division between mind and heart. Some of you would say you feel no calling or that you feel many. Others would cite practical reasons for doing other than what they feel called to do. All of these ideas illustrate your belief that something other than your own willingness is necessary. Only in your own willingness does anything exist, because only in your willingness is the power of creation expressed.

A Treatise on the Personal Self
From the Chapter: The True Self

3.10

The Self that I recognize as You is not other than who you are but who you are. All that has ever been other than who you are is the ego. The ego is gone. The ego was simply your idea of who you were. This idea was a complex set of judgments, of good and bad, right and wrong, worthy and unworthy, a list as endless as it was worthless. Realize now the worthlessness of this idea and let it go.

A Treatise on the New
From the Chapter on Natural Vision

3.8	As the natural state of love is returned to you, judgment falls away because vision will arise. With the onset of the vision of love, many of you will make one final judgment in which you find everything to be good and full of love. Once all has been judged with the vision of love, judgment is over naturally for it has served its purpose. This is the final judgment.
3.9	The vision that will arise in you now is not new. It is your natural vision, the vision of love. What is new is the elevation of the personal self that will be caused by the return of your natural state of love.

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.
