A Course in Miracles, first published in 1976 after Helen Schucman's claimed inner dictation between 1965 and 1972, uses the word miracle in a documented, deliberately different sense from the traditional one: not a suspension of natural law witnessed at a shrine or a historical event, but a shift in perception, a change in how a person sees a situation, that the text presents as available to anyone in ordinary daily experience.
That documented redefinition matters for a miracle entry because it shows the same word carries genuinely different meanings across different traditions and movements, and an entry on the category as a whole should record that honest variety rather than assuming every entry under it uses the term identically.
A miracle entry therefore notes, where a specific tradition or movement uses the word in a documented, distinct sense, what that sense actually is, since A Course in Miracles is not a source for evaluating its own theological claims, which remain the movement's own, but is a solid documented source for what the movement itself states the word to mean. The text's own documented three part structure, a workbook of daily lessons alongside the main text and a teacher's manual, is itself part of how the movement operationalizes this redefined sense of the word, and an entry notes that documented structure honestly as part of what the source describes.
