A Course of Love (ACOL) cases to be a continuation of A Course in Miracles (ACIM). It was heard internally and down on paper, as was ACIM, and in the two cases the “voice” professed to be from Jesus. In any case, the abstract style of ACOL, however like that of ACIM, isn’t something similar and gives off an impression of being an endeavor to imitate it. Moreover, there are significant contrasts between these two works that should be called attention to, on the grounds that a portion of the lessons in ACOL go against center lessons in ACIM that have aided regardless are assisting numerous with refining their brains of natural deceptions and the restricting convictions of the self image, so they can get the endowments of the Holy Spiri
Assuming that individuals accepted the lessons in ACOL, the profound assistance they would some way or another get from large numbers of the lessons and practices in ACIM would be invalidated.

The accompanying page and segment numbers allude to ACOL: Combined Volume.
P. 280-282:
In 1.1, 7, 12, ACOL says that now – as of now in a course in miracles realizing this course – the self image has been isolated from the peruser’s very own self, and the peruser’s “recognition of the Christ-Self has canceled the self image self… ” at the end of the day, it asserts the peruser has now understood the Christ.
P. 340-341:
ACOL says assuming you attempt to help other people who are enduring you might lose your internal harmony, that you ought to pastor to those in deception provided that your solidarity (unity) with Jesus Christ is achieved and if, without being in solidarity, you attempt to help other people abandon deceptions and return to solidarity, it won’t work (20.14-15). This isn’t accurate. In the event that you look for and heed the direction of the Holy Spirit inside you while attempting to help other people, you won’t lose your internal harmony, and it is consistently useful to prescribe the lessons of ACIM to the people who are open and prepared.
In the event that ACIM has helped you, you can specify this to all who might be available to hearing what you need to say. By offering to cherish and a craving to help other people, our affection increments, for we get what we give. This is a heavenly standard, and the people who live enamored and together as one with God’s regulations help other people
A Course in Miracles discusses the laws of God, which have not changed. ACOL lets us know that the hour of Christ is currently upon us, that new regulations are presently active, and that we never again need the assistance and direction of the Holy Spirit. There is no proof of this. The hour of Christ might be quick drawing nearer, yet the Holy Spirit is still with us. Furthermore, when we pay attention to and heed His delicate direction, He drives us to the Christ… the insight, love and light inside… the reality of what we are.
