Helen Schucman was an American clinical psychologist and the co-author of the spiritual text known as A Course in Miracles. Born in 1909, she worked at Columbia University and had a significant impact on the field of psychology through her research and teachings. In the early 1970s, Schucman began experiencing a series of spiritual revelations, which she later transcribed. This work, attributed to an inner voice she identified as Jesus, emphasizes themes of forgiveness and the nature of reality. Schucman's contributions continue to influence spiritual and psychological communities today.
