Research psychologist Helen Schucman (1909-1981), a professor of medical psychology at Columbia University, took seven years to write A Course in Miracles (ACIM), finishing in 1975.
Schucman said she was "under special assignment," a channel of Jesus in writing this self-study program, which teaches forgiveness as the road to inner peace and healing.
The Foundation for Inner Peace continues to publish Schucman's text and spread her words to the world.

Helen Schucman, Ph.D. July 14, 1909–February 9, 1981) is one of the three primary transcriber-editors of the work known as A Course In Miracles (or ACIM).
Following the transcription and editing, Schucman began to reduce the level of her direct involvement in the ACIM related effort, and was never as heavily involved with teaching or popularizing the material, as were the other two principal transcriber-editors, Bill Thetford and Kenneth Wapnick.

Helen Schucman (July 14, 1909 - February 9, 1981) was an American professor of clinical psychology at Columbia University who received the spiritual work, A Course In Miracles, or ACIM, by a channeling-like process of taking dictation from an "inner voice" which originally instructed her, "this is a course in miracles.
Schucman also received from her inner voice two pamphlets supplemental to ACIM, and some additional material.
Following the transcription and editing, Schucman began to move away from the center of the effort, and never became involved with teaching or popularizing the material.

The initial penning of the book by Dr. Helen Schucman, a medical psychology professor at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City, was accomplished using what she described as a certain type of channeling process which she referred to as inner dictation.

Helen, incidentally, seemed rather certain that she would die at the age of seventy-two, that being the number written on her tombstone she had seen in a vision.
Helen, thus, not only left the world A Course in Miracles -- in my opinion the world's most psychologically sophisticated account of the mind's subterranean warfare, along with teaching the means for undoing this war against God through forgiveness -- but her own life provided a model for its teachings as well.
While Helen would not have wanted what I am to write to have been public knowledge during her lifetime, for reasons that form one of the important themes of this book, I know she would be pleased that I am at this time presenting her story and that of the Course's beginnings.

The initial penning of the course was done by Dr. Helen Schucman using what Schucman claimed was a certain type of channeling process which she described as inner dictation.
True to form, Schucman has never been viewed by other students of ACIM as having been a person of any particularly high level of spiritual accomplishment, other than her once having had the ability to serve as a conduit for the channeling of ACIM.
At the time of the initial transcription, Schucman was a professor of clinical psychology at Columbia University in New York City and Thetford was a professor of medical psychology at that same university's College of Physicians and Surgeons.

 Skeptic's Dictionary: reader comments A Course in Miracles
Your assumption that Helen Schucman faked the fact that she "channeled" the text of A Course in Miracles is unsubstantiated.
Helen was said to have had frequent vivid visions and other “mystical” experiences in which she saw “film-like” scenes of people and places.
Rather, Helen Schucman claimed to have heard a “silent voice” in her head— rather like the voice of her own thoughts— but claimed that these thoughts were not her own.

 The Scribing of A Course in Miracles®
Helen Schucman, Ph.D. was a clinical and research psychologist, who held the tenured position of Associate Professor of Medical Psychology at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City.
Helen would write down words dictated by the "voice" in shorthand notebooks, and whenever she and Bill had time during a very busy schedule, she would dictate to Bill what had been dictated to her.
Helen chose to conceal her spiritual journey from almost all of her friends, and all family members, except of course from her husband Louis.

Helen made more general statements about the origin and seemed mainly to need to deny that she was the source.
It is a disservice to Helen Schucman to infer that she was incapable of expressing her own inner Self or Christ, and needed to rely on an external person named Jesus.
To perceive Helen Schucman as needing an external Jesus to convey the words of the course is to forestall the inevitable awareness that there are no separate special relationships, for we are indeed, all One.

 Absence from Felicity Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
For the next seven years Helen Schucman, a clinical psychologist in New York City, heard the voice of Jesus dictate to her the three volumes that comprise one of the most significant spiritual messages of our time.
Kenneth Wapnick, drawing upon his intimate relationship with Helen that spanned the last eight years of her life, highlights in detail Helen's scribing of the Course, her experiences of Jesus, and her relationship with William Thetford, close friend, colleague, and collaborator in the scribing of the Course material.
The book includes extensive excerpts from Helen's own recollections, her dreams and letters, and the personal messages and instructional material she received from Jesus that was an integral part of the original dictation of the Course -- all never before in print.

 News of a New Human Nature: "Taking Divine Dictation"
But the religiously ambivalent Schucman (who described herself as a hard-headed scientist while surreptitiously attending Catholic masses) was also unnerved by what she called the “certainty, wisdom, gentleness, clarity and patience that characterized the Voice” — not to mention the fact that the voice clearly identified itself as the historical Jesus Christ.
Schucman may have further resisted identifying with the material she channeled because she was unwilling to apply its central lessons of forgiveness and ego-surrender.
Helen Schucman found her inner voice quite disturbing at times, and tried to stall the recording of the Course on several occasions only to find herself becoming physically ill or anxious until she resumed the work.

To understand Helen it is important to understand the distinction between content (mind) and form (body), which the Course discusses.
It was clear that Helen was preparing herself for death, although we still labored under the assumption that she would die at the age of seventy- two, despite our past experiences of Helen's unreliability regarding specific predictions; the number seventy-two had seemed to be so clear and certain for her.

And yet Helen's own view of herself was quite different, and she felt most uncomfortable with Jesus' estimation of herself and could not accept it.
For quite a while Helen was unable to look at the priestess' face, in fear of the condemnation she was sure she would see there.
Helen described this latter experience to me as her feeling almost possessed by a hatred so intense she believed at that moment she could have gladly destroyed the entire world, the exact counterpart to the former experience when the love-equally intense in its scopesurged through her and embraced the world.

Never once in life did the person Helen Schucman claim or acknowledge herself to be the author of the Course.
Helen Schucman's part, and certainly all of her associates agreed, was always and only what she repeatedly and steadfastly maintained it to be.
Concerning the Workbook, to assert that Helen Schucman originated and formulated the mind training program of enlightenment that constitutes the structural integrity and comprehensive design of the Workbook of A Course In Miracles is absurd.

 Who Wrote the Course, Part I   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
It claims that Helen merely reconnected with the same Love of God that Jesus did 2,000 years ago, and having witnessed that Love, reflected it to the world in forms she was familiar with--English language, Christian symbology, psychodynamics, curricular format, and Shakespearean blank verse.
He basically chalked the Course up to Helen's "genius." I also recall reading John White (author in the fields of consciousness research and higher development), who had initially offered to publish the Course, say that it was impossible for Jesus to author a book since he no longer existed as a personal entity.
Ken's stance is that Helen's mind made contact with the formless, transcendental mind of Jesus, and that his abstract love then took the shape of Helen's familiar forms, as water takes the shape of a glass.

 A Course In Miracles [ACIM]. The Miracle of Brainwashing
Schucman was a research psychologist; she was into experiments on minds, she did not believe in God, therefore she did not have any qualms or fear of God for misleading people and lying about Him and she decided to test the gullibility of human beings.
Schucman denied the exclusive station that the Christians attribute to Jesus and claimed that he was an enlightened person and that all humans as sons of God who can reach the station of Christhood if they evolve or “mutate” spiritually.
Even though Schucman claimed that A Course in Miracles was dictated to her by Jesus, an unedited, earlier version of that book has surfaced — with a number of key differences between it and her final version.

 "ACIM MKULTRA Fingerpronts"
It has become undeniably obvious that Helen Schucman, the woman who "channeled" or "scribed" A Course in Miracles (ACIM) was very likely unwittingly deeply immersed in the CIA's MKULTRA activity during the years she "scribed" ("channeled") the Course.
Three years after Schucman, Thetford, and Saunders jointly authored a paper with a "specific, explicit mention of [Gittinger's] PAS", Schucman (1965) began having strange "visions", and shortly she was hearing an inner "voice" which identified itself as Jesus.
When Schucman, who was culturally Jewish and an atheist or agnostic, hesitated to accept that the voice was genuinely "Jesus", she was talked into believing it by her boss and then close friend, Bill Thetman.
