I recently completed the fifth downloadable course from ACI. It deals with karma. I would recommend it to everyone, especially if you question why you are in the situations that you are, feel that despair, confusion, or injustice surround you, or want to make the future better than the present and past.
Of the five courses I have so far taken, this has been the most helpful. On its completion, I immediately encountered a situation, which I would normally have found to be troublesome, painful, confusing, and agonizing. Because of my studies and following contemplative meditation, I was able to fully comprehend situation, accept it, and know how to help a friend who was also involved to deal with their pain and confusion. I was able to stop the progression of further detrimental karma and refresh my life to expect a better future - additionally to assist my friend to do likewise, rather than let us 'screw up' all over again.
As each individual situation arises from individual previous actions, it is best to learn for yourself. I am no Buddha and can only help the people I am personally close to at my current stage - BUT, I can suggest that anyone with questions and problems they seek the cause for study this course!
