This is a 31-lesson, approximately five-hour video exploration of the Manual for Teachers from A Course in Miracles. Rev. Devan discusses the introduction and all twenty-nine sections, with an additional welcome lesson that explains how this course differs from Open & Clear’s separate certification pathway.

The emphasis is lived understanding. The material is presented as something to bring into perception, relationships, decisions, emotional reactions, spiritual practice, and ordinary life—not simply material to memorize.

No. The course is explicitly described as having no prerequisite. A sincere beginner can enter here, and an experienced ACIM student can use the discussions to revisit the Manual from a practical perspective.

Because the Manual uses concepts found throughout A Course in Miracles, previous familiarity can provide context, but it is not an enrollment requirement for this course.

No. The course deliberately distinguishes itself from certification. It is a study and discussion of the Manual for Teachers centered on personal understanding, embodiment, and demonstration.

Open & Clear offers a separate Teacher [of Students] Certification addition connected with the A Course In Miracles Intensive. That program has its own requirements and should not be confused with this no-prerequisite Manual course.

Within this course, teaching is understood much more broadly than holding a formal title. The Manual is approached through the idea that what a person consistently demonstrates communicates what they have learned.

That makes the material relevant to anyone interested in steadier peace, clearer perception, spiritual responsibility, or becoming more congruent between what they say they believe and how they actually respond to life.

The course highlights lived forgiveness, consistent peace, teaching as demonstration, attention, willingness, and guidance from the Wholly Spiritual Universe. The larger aim is to move from understanding concepts to knowing through direct experience.

Rather than adding another layer of beliefs, the discussions repeatedly orient toward noticing what obscures Truth and what becomes available when those obstructions are released.

The broader Open & Clear ACIM programs present the Text as conceptual context, the Workbook as a daily experiential practice, and the Manual as material that asks what learning looks like when it becomes embodied and demonstrated.

You can study the Manual independently here, while also using the related pathways on this page if you want a year-long Workbook companion, a deeper Intensive, a detailed Text study, or guided meditation support.

The course currently marks four lessons as free previews: “Welcome & the Certification Difference,” “The Manual for Teachers, Introduction,” “Section One | Manual for Teachers,” and “Section Two | Manual for Teachers.”

Those previews give you a practical way to experience Devan’s discussion style and the course’s orientation before choosing one of the paid enrollment paths.

The course currently lists three ways to enroll: $299.98 as the Full Value Price, $39.93 as the Price for the Struggling, or three payments of $16.61.

All three options are presented for the same complete course. Choose the arrangement that fits your circumstances rather than treating a higher price as a spiritually superior version of the material.

Devan is presented as a mystic and spiritual teacher with more than twenty years of rigorous practice and inquiry involving A Course in Miracles, meditation, and multiple energy modalities. His account includes a period of traveling as an independently inspired monk and a later multidimensional death experience.

He describes his work as helping others seek direct recognition rather than asking them to accept spiritual claims solely on authority. That first-hand emphasis strongly shapes the way the Manual is discussed here.

No denominational identity is stated as a prerequisite. A Course in Miracles uses Christian language, while the Open & Clear ACIM programs emphasize direct experience, inquiry, and personal realization rather than blind belief.

You can approach terms such as “God,” “Christ,” forgiveness, and Truth through the spiritual understanding that is meaningful to you while still engaging sincerely with the material itself.

The Academy offers several related paths. The Experience is a gentler companion through all 365 Workbook lessons. The Intensive is much more immersive. The Text course focuses paragraph by paragraph on the conceptual material, while the meditation series offers guided meditation music for the complete 365-lesson journey.

You do not have to choose the largest or most demanding program. Choose the section of the Course—and the depth of support—that you are genuinely willing to practice now.

No. This is a spiritual, religious, educational, and devotional course. It is intended to support meaningful inquiry and practice, but no specific spiritual, emotional, physical, psychological, relational, financial, or other result is promised.

Individual experiences vary. Spiritual study is not a substitute for qualified medical, psychological, legal, financial, or emergency care.
