Abstract
Helen Schucman, like Joseph Smith and Bill Wilson, had an unusual experience—her “subway experience,” as she called it—that she connected with the eventual emergence of an ability to connect with a realm beyond the everyday on a regular basis. In Schucman's case, she linked her subway experience with the later emergence of an internal Voice that she attributed to Jesus and the “scribing” of A Course in Miracles. This chapter analyzes the emergence of the Voice. Schucman and her key collaborators—William Thetford, Kenneth Wapnick, and Judith Skutch—coalesced around the claim that the text she “scribed” at the behest of the “inner Voice” had revelatory import, illuminating a new spiritual path and leading in time to a radical revisioning of traditional Christianity.
