There are two new recently announced features on the Web Edition of A Course In Miracles:
1) Dark Mode: Helpful when viewing the Course on your phone, tablet, or computer when the sun is down or in a dimly lit environment. The default matches your computer or device’s system settings, but can be set to light (the prior option) or dark whenever desired.
2) Favorites: HOORAY!!! I’ve been eagerly awaiting this feature for about a decade, ever since I started working on a new version of the ACIM.org website with wonderful collaborators Felix Alcala, Tam Morgan, and others at the Foundation for Inner Peace in 2015, which was launched in 2018. Felix suggested the idea of having the entire Course (not just the Workbook Lessons) online, with the ability to select a portion of text from an online version, copy it, and paste it into an email, a website, social media, or other digital media and have it link to the source where it can be read in context with a single click… together with the correct, unique annotation which allows anyone to quickly find the exact sentence using any media format, from among any of the 27 (and counting) language translations the Course. This wonderful achievement has been available for five years, and (like many others), I have used and enjoyed it immensely; you can see this by trying the links to ACIM quotes on most, if not all, posts on this website for the last 5 years. Here is my announcement of that milestone:
The newest major feature addition (which we’ve dreamt of for a decade) is now here, enabling users of the ACIM Web Edition to quickly make and retrieve bookmarks (a.k.a. favorites), adding their own comments (also searchable) to find favorite passages among the three volumes and two supplements of the Course. If you are more than an occasional student of ACIM, you will likely find this new feature invaluable and truly helpful, as I’m already experiencing! When you find a sentence or group of sentences you want to save, highlight it, and from the small pop-up that appears next to your selected text, tap the icon of the heart with the plus symbol labelled “Favorite” (and add your optional comments if desired). To access an existing favorite, just tap the icon of the heart with the plus symbol from the left sidebar and tap the favorite you want to see and/or use elsewhere.
As an example, I added the 13 ego-challenging ACIM quotes from the Recovering Bliss-Ninny Wall Calendar, and you can see how they are easily accessed from within the newly enhanced web edition:
Here’s another example showing that the color-coding of the Text (magenta), Workbook (blue), Manual For Teachers (yellow), Psychotherapy (green), and Song of Prayer (purple) color indicators appear as bullets to quickly identify in which volume the favorite quotes can be found:
Here are detailed instructions on the Foundation for Inner Peace (FIP) website on using the new Favorites Feature:
