The real world is a very important but commonly misunderstood concept in A Course in Miracles. The Course's goal is to lead us to experience the uninterrupted peace that is the real world. In this comprehensive look at what the Course says about the real world, Kenneth first describes the journey we seem to have taken, but no longer remember, away from our true Home in Heaven to what we now mistakenly believe to be our home, as a body living in the world. He then discusses how, as we question the value and purpose of the world, we are led on a journey of many steps of forgiveness away from an identification with the world and our body to a state of mind of perfect peace–the real world. It is not yet Heaven, but as close as we can come to our true Home, while a part of the Son's mind still entertains any thought of separation. Kenneth devotes a significant portion of the program to reading and discussing the many passages throughout the Course that focus on the real world, how it is attained, and how it is experienced, as we approach the end of our journey back Home.
