40 A Course in Miracles Quotes to Get You Back to Love (It's Who You Are)
If you could use an extra dose of inspiration this week, read this collection of A Course in Miracles quotes. They teach that returning to love is like coming home to yourself. That no matter what path you take in life, what's at the end of the road is the same: love. And that's who *you* are too.
“The ‘Course in Miracles’ says one day you will realize that death is not the punishment but the reward. And it says that birth is not the beginning of life but a continuation. And physical death is not the end of life but a continuation.” – Marianne Williamson
A Course in Miracles isn't just a book. It's a self-study spiritual thought system that teaches forgiveness as the road to inner peace and the remembrance of your truth.
The text states:
This course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love,
for that is beyond what can be taught.
It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence,
which is your natural inheritance.
Find the words that resonate with you and take you back home, to the "ancient peace you carry in your heart," that can't be taken from you.

All perception is unnecessary

Number 15 nails it. If people allowed themselves to truly absorb this, there would be no conflict! In so few words it speaks volumes about the illusion of physical existence and true eternal peace.

I remember part of a quote, could anyone help me with the full quote?
Deep within you is everything that is perfect ,
It will heal all sorrow and pain.
— Cheryle
I was looking for the quote i heard in one of Marianne Williamson’s talks saying that the love given and received in a relationship never dies. Yours is a beautiful compilation otherwise.
— Mary Dale
Jeff, peace and joy, and love.
— Jennifer Williamson
I had a moment of “alove” (alove for me is to be alive with love, and realize the ocean of love that we all are together) reading these … it was wonderful, thank you Jen.
I was looking for a quote about holy relationships, but the one that reminded me of my true nature was
“You have so little faith in yourself because you are unwilling to accept the fact that perfect love is in you, and so you seek without for what you cannot find within.” – A Course In Miracles
Peace and joy,

Philip, there is too much wisdom to capture in 100 blog posts. It’s been a while since I’ve picked up the text. Thank you for inspiring me to start again.
— Jennifer Williamson
Thank you Jen,
I love all of these!! I was looking for a good quote for a piece I was writing and found too many to choose from hahah.
By the way, maybe you already know but maybe not; I recently released an award winning album called The Light Has Come, that contains 15 songs with lyrics all coming from A Course in Miracles workbook lessons. It is super helpful to hear the beautiful message of the course in your mind all day long. There are still many course students who don’t know that this is out there, so please spread the word! :) You can listen on any musical platform (Spotify, iTunes, Deezer, Tidal, etc.) Or go to my website www.nedaboin.com
Much love!

I love no 23, but there are so many more that are also profound. I have been a student of ACIM for almost 30 years (Feb 1991) and I still have the text at my bedside although I decided this year that I wasn’t going to do the daily lessons any longer, but rather focus on those lessons that have impacted my life.
Thank you for your contribution to help me on my path

Wendy, #7 is one that brings me such comfort too when I’m thinking about my loved ones who’ve passed. Forgiveness, too, certainly is life changing… thank you for your comment <3
— Jennifer Williamson
I love #7. I read this in it’s entirety at my mother’s memorial service.
Also # 4. A very good reminder, and # 36, as I do have some more forgiving to do. The forgiveness I have done entirely changed my world.
— Wendy M Long
I am honored these quotes and my site can be part of your faith, Judy <3 Jen

Guess I have been overly concerned about political issues, reading and watching the debates, but Senator Williams comments brought me to The Course of Miracles, and Jesus’s teachings of love, meditation which all my experiences bring me back to Jesus Christ. Not coincidental.
