Simple ACIM
Version 1.0 · September 2026
A quiet place to read A Course in Miracles – Original Edition, sit with it, and ask questions about it. Made by Art & Tech Awaken LLC.
Licensed work
“A Course in Miracles – Original Edition, published by Course in Miracles Society (CIMS). Used under license.”
01
What this app is
Two things live here, and they are kept apart on purpose.
The first is a reading experience for A Course in Miracles – Original Edition, published by Course in Miracles Society (CIMS) and licensed to us for use in this app. The text is presented complete and unaltered. We change only what electronic reading requires — typography, navigation, search, accessibility.
The second is everything we built around it: AI summaries and commentary, the AI Companion, timed sittings, journal and highlights, and selections from other nondual traditions. None of that is Course text, and none of it is presented as though it were.
02
How to use it
There is no correct order. Most people settle into one of these.
Read — open the Text, Workbook for Students, or Manual for Teachers and read at your own pace. Your place is kept.
Sit — set a length, choose silence or a passage read aloud, and practice.
Ask — bring a question, or a passage you are stuck on, to the AI Companion.
Keep — highlight a line, write a note, draw a card for the day.
03
The Original Edition and CIMS
“A Course in Miracles – Original Edition, published by Course in Miracles Society (CIMS). Used under license.”
CIMS is the publisher and source of the licensed edition. CIMS does not create, own, operate, sponsor, or endorse this app as a whole, and does not endorse the other teachings or the AI features found here. Our license covers the Original Edition only.
If you find an error in the Course text as it appears here, please write to us — accuracy of the Licensed Work is something we are obliged to and glad to fix.
04
How the AI features work — and what they are not
The Companion and the summaries are generated by third-party language models. They can draw on the Original Edition, on our own summaries, and on other nondual material. Everything they produce is labelled as AI-generated and set apart from Course text.
AI-generated summaries, commentary, interpretations, and responses within this application are independently generated and do not represent official interpretations, teachings, opinions, or endorsements of Course in Miracles Society (CIMS). CIMS licenses the use of A Course in Miracles – Original Edition within this application but is not responsible for AI-generated content or guidance.
When AI output quotes the Course, the quotation is marked and sourced. AI language is never dressed as a quotation. AI material is not an alternative version, a revision, or a replacement for the Original Edition.
We do not offer AI-generated translations of the Original Edition. Translating the Course is not authorized under our license. We may translate our own AI material — a summary or an interpretation — into other languages; where we do, it stays labelled as AI-generated, and any Course passage it quotes stays in the Original Edition’s own English words.
The Companion is not a teacher, a therapist, or a member of the clergy. It can be wrong, and it can be confidently wrong. Read it as a study aid and take the text itself as the authority.

Sounds
The sounds you can sit to come from Pixabay and are used under the Pixabay Content License, which allows commercial use and asks for no attribution. We credit them anyway, and say which are music and which are field recordings.
