John shared with us of a course named: A Course in Miracles (ACIM).
The introduction of the course goes like...
"This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time. The 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. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all encompassing can have no opposite. 
This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way: 
Nothing real can be threatened. 
Nothing unreal exists. 
Herein lies the peace of God."

Below is a quote from another part of the course:
If perfect love casts out fear,
And if fear exists,
Then there is NOT perfect love.
But
Only perfect love really exists.
Therefore, if there is fear, it creates a state which does not exist.
Believe THIS and you WILL be free. Only God can establish this solution, for THIS faith IS His gift.
John also shared following resources to us.
A searchable version of the Urtext, which is the closest version of the Course to the original transcribed text Helen Schulman received from Jesus:

A Course In Miracles International is the Spiritual organization where he belongs to and he lived with for approximately 7 years.  It contains links to audios and videos of Master Teacher who is one of my teachers:
