A Course in Miracles, Intensive

A Course in Miracles Intensive – Description

This is an intensive course for those who are truly serious about transcending the world (Ascension). It follows a specific curriculum designed to train consciousness to think in alignment with the dimensional perspectives of the Spiritual Universe. While there are many layers of insight you can gain, its ultimate intention is for the greatest goal: awakening and Ascension—something you are fully capable of achieving in this lifetime.

Note: This course is not for beginners. A beginner-friendly course is now available in the Bio page: A Course in Miracles Experience.

A Spiritually-Guided Experience

All of our courses are completely unscripted. Each course in this series is recorded back-to-back, which is why they feel so interconnected. Every teaching is shared as a wholly spiritual, guided experience—direct, alive, and in the moment.

A Daily, Transformative Practice

This course is structured as a year-long, daily practice with multiple formats to help you fully immerse in the teachings. While the setting is unconventional—delivered through recordings instead of in a church, temple, mountaintop, or with a guru—the journey is not outward, but inward. The path is not in me, not in any building, but within you.

The Language of Spirit

The essence of this course uses “Christian” terminology. However, it’s important to note that most mainstream traditions under that name do not claim this as their source. The goal here is not to spread worship of dogma (which has its own beauty), but to offer the opportunity for actual first-hand experience of “Christ” and “God” (by any definition)—so that you may discover the Truth directly for yourself.

Reminder: This course is not for beginners. Please see the beginner’s course in the Bio page if you are just starting out: A Course in Miracles Experience.

Introduction to "A Course in Miracles"

“This is a course in miracles. It is a required (inevitable) 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 may 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.”

While it is possible to begin this course with no prior introduction or experience, the truth is that you will only receive as much as you are willing to invest. Many participants enter seeking happiness, peace, health, or success—and these are all very real outcomes. Yet the greater possibility here is transcendence itself.

If you expect to maintain your current life structure while simultaneously transcending it, then you may have misunderstood what transcendence truly means. To “transcend the world” is to leave behind everything you know as physical, entering into an additional experience of eternal life within the Wholly-Spiritual Universe. When you reach that threshold, you are given a choice: to remain in that state permanently, or to return and share what you have discovered. If you return—as I have—you do so as a master, able to step back across the threshold at any time. Though the decision rests with your divine purpose and free will, the aim of this course is to guide you to that very doorway, while also cultivating happiness, peace of mind, and the daily experience of miracles along the way.

The Meaning of Ascension

“Ascension” is a symbol pointing to something beyond words. Put simply, it is the shift of your reality from one plane of existence into a more liberated one, governed by universal laws that may appear paradoxical to the mind left behind. To achieve this requires retraining your consciousness to think in harmony with these higher laws.

This is perhaps the most difficult task for a mind that believes itself to be human, because it requires questioning and transforming every core belief you hold about yourself, the world, and God. In essence, the way you currently believe these things to be is exactly why you experience the world as you do.

What This Course Is (and Is Not)

This is not a course on how to manipulate the spiritual universe for personal gain. While abilities of that kind may naturally unfold, the true purpose here is to retrain your consciousness to align with the natural experience of the Wholly-Spiritual Universe. What you discover will open into a journey beyond manipulation—one that is rooted in Truth.

Why Study with Rev. Devan Jesse Byrne

Why take this course with me? Many can speak well about the path, but few can teach from direct experience. I cannot hand you the Truth, but I have built this course so you can prove it to yourself through your own evidence. You can only be guided as far as your teacher has walked, and I have walked every degree of this path—including the final step of escaping the world entirely. For that reason, I can say with confidence that you can achieve the awakening you truly desire if you are honest in your practice. Even if this is not your first time with A Course in Miracles, it may well be your last.

Course Structure

This intensive course is divided into twelve parts, each spanning thirty days. Every day you will engage with six unique formats—lectures, techniques, readings, prayers, and meditations—each designed to correspond to that day’s lesson. These range from quick 5-minute practices to immersive 60-minute experiences, giving you both variety and flexibility.

Each week includes bonus content such as diagrams, worksheets, and guided conversations to deepen your understanding and increase your likelihood of success. The journey continues to grow as new supportive materials are added throughout the year, further enriching your experience.

Pace and Access

The course is designed to be completed at your own pace, with a maximum of one lesson per day, at any time that works best for you. With lifetime access, you can return and re-immerse yourself as often as needed—and even pass it down to your children, giving them the opportunity to continue the journey for themselves.

“This course is not ONLY for Peace and Happiness…” ~ Rev. Devan Jesse Byrne

Application Assistance

While this course may appear to share many “facts” about how the universe works, it is not about memorizing concepts. Comprehension is helpful, but not required. The purpose is to train your mind to directly experience the Truth for yourself. This training requires shifting perspectives into alignment with what is to be achieved. To assist in this process, the course rests on a few fundamental principles.

We have gathered these principles into the acronym GLORRE (pronounced Glor-RE):

Guidance – Opening to your intuition and spiritual guidance, often called the “Holy Spirit,” better described here as the “Wholly Spiritual Universe.”
Love – The pure essence of what we are, most accurately expressed as the presence of Love, often called “Christ.”
Oneness – Realizing that all lessons point back to the truth that we are one essence, inseparable from the totality of the universe. This becomes clearer with an understanding of “dimensions.”
Reflection – Everything you see and experience is an extension of your perceptual consciousness—a reflection of the mind, much like a dreamer’s dream.
Responsibility – True progress comes when you accept full responsibility. Your achievement in this course will reflect how deeply you embrace this.
Eternal – Ultimately, you are recalling your vision as an eternal being. This course emphasizes joining again with that reality.

To make it simpler, the core application of this course can also be remembered with another acronym: FOR. Together, this creates FOR GLORRE, an easy way to recall the principles.

Forgiveness – Learning to release the past, the future, and everything that seems to hold you back.
Openness / Acceptance – Applying forgiveness with a spirit of open-mindedness and unconditional acceptance of all you experience.
Relaxation – Bringing forgiveness and acceptance into the present moment so fully that you can relax—even out of the body—whenever you choose.

These principles—FOR GLORRE—are not meant to be debated intellectually, but experienced directly. The conscious decision for ascension becomes possible only when you are willing to recognize and admit such truths. Through practice, these principles shift from ideas into living reality.
