Since this blog revolves around my book Closing the Circle, which brings together the teachings of the book of Thomas, and A Course in Miracles, it may be helpful to post something about the Course here. With more and more material available on-line it is becoming easier to pull this together, but there's also a lot of 2nd rate stuff on-line that does not add any clarity, so as per usual, you have to know where to look... In the links section of this blog you can find a lot, but below I'm providing two links to outtakes from the 2001 PBS series "The Visionaries" which provided a remarkably good introduction to the Course, which I discovered only recently.
The Visionaries about ACIM I - Part One of a 2001 video produced for the PBS series, The Visionaries, and narrated by Sam Waterston. Filmed at the Foundation for "A Course in Miracles" former location in Roscoe, NY, and at the Foundation for Inner Peace in Tiburon, CA, this segment contains accounts of the origin of the Course by Judith Skutch Whitson, and Gloria and Kenneth Wapnick. They speak about the scribe Helen Schucman and her associate William Thetford.
The Visionaries about ACIM II - Part Two of a 2001 video produced for the PBS series, Visionaries, and narrated by Sam Waterston. Filmed at the Foundation for "A Course in Miracles" former location in Roscoe, NY, and at the Foundation for Inner Peace in Tiburon, CA, this segment contains excerpts from a class held in Roscoe, NY. Additionally, Kenneth and Gloria discuss key concepts that characterize A Course in Miracles as a unique spirituality in the world today. The comments and reflections of some students are included as well.
N.B. As is mentioned at the end of the second episode, these videos were still shot at the old facilities of the Foundation for A Course in Miracles at Roscoe, NY, but they've moved from there in 2000, so that when this was broadcast in 2001, the Foundation was already located in Temecula, Ca.
