A Course in Miracles
A Course in Miracles also known as ACIM is a self-study book which aims to assist its readers in achieving spiritual transformation. The book describes a non-dualistic philosophy of forgiveness and includes practical lessons. Helen Schucman the book with the help of William Thetford, based on what she called an “inner voice” which she identified as Jesus. ACIM was published first in 1976 and it has been heavily criticized by Christian communities, but supported by authors such as Eckhart Tolle. Learn more about ACIM on the excellent Wikipedia article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Course_in_Miracles. From page 877 of the ACIM:“The world you see is based on “sacrifice” of oneness. It is a picture of complete disunity and total lack of joining. Around each entity is built a wall so seeming solid that it looks as if what is inside can never reach without, and what is out can never reach and join with what is locked away within the wall. Each part must sacrifice the other part, to keep itself complete. For if they joined each one would lose its own identity, and by their separation are their selves maintained.”

Self-Growth and Spiritual Transcendence. The seven levels of consciousness are what make up our path of spiritual development. Our consciousness evolves in seven specific stages, each one intrinsically related to a particular existential need. Those needs are the driven forces of our motivation in all our interactions with the world around us. Our growth in consciousness levels depends on our ability to satisfy these needs.
