I don't think Helen Schucman really fit the mold of a spiritual medium. -- Campania 05:13, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
If no one minds, I'd like to edit or just delete this sentence. I don't really know what it means to say she has a pre-eminent role. Also, I don't think that the term "mediumistic-spiritualistic" really describes her very well, which is discussed above already anyway. Thanks. -- Andrew Parodi 13:34, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I just did a little editing. I also removed the " New Age" category. That's a completely subjective move on my part. Certainly, many people do consider ACIM to be a New Age book, and that simple fact could perhaps justify listing ACIM as a New Age book because the term "New Age" is not really a definitive term, many who read ACIM stress that it is NOT New Age, as it has nothing to do with reading auras, chakra alignment, aromatherapy, crystals, meditation, or most of the other things that are associated with New Age spiritualities. If someone puts that category back, fine. I won't be offended or angry or anything. It is just my subjective opinion that it doesn't fit this subject. Thanks. -- Andrew Parodi 13:47, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Given that the Workbook spends a great deal of effort teaching what is often called meditation, claiming it has nothing to do with meditation is a bit of a stretch. Gene Ward Smith 08:53, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
I changed the phrase "spiritual trance channeling" to "the scribing of an inner voice" to more accurately reflect the process that Helen used to take down the Course. Two major accounts of the genesis of A Course in Miracles, both by authors who knew Helen personally, "Journey Without Distance - The Story Behind a Course in Miracles" by Robert Skutch and "Absence From Felicity, The Story of Helen Schucman and Her Scribing of A Course in Miracles" by Kenneth Wapnick both make it plain the her process of inner dictation was in no way "spiritual trance channeling" but simply her taking down what the inner voice dictated to her.

Image:Absencefromfelicity.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
