Is A Course in Miracles compatible with making a lot of money?

A Course in Miracles does not explicitly oppose the creation or accumulation of wealth, but it emphasizes the intentions behind our actions and how they align with our spiritual growth. The Course teaches that the pursuit of money can become problematic when it is motivated by fear, greed, or a sense of lack.

In Ch.19 — The Obstacles to Peace, the Course discusses how our focus can become clouded by external goals that do not foster inner peace. Money, like any other resource, can serve as a means or an end depending on how it is perceived and used. If wealth is sought for the purpose of enhancing love, sharing, and improving the well-being of oneself and others, it can be aligned with the Course’s teachings.

Moreover, in Ch.1 — Principles of Miracles, the Course presents the notion that true miracles arise from love. If financial success is treated as a platform from which to extend love, support, and service to others, it can be a powerful tool for good. The underlying principle is that the source of our actions—whether it's the motivation to make money or how we use that money—determines its alignment with spiritual truth.

Thus, it is not the act of making money itself that conflicts with the teachings of A Course in Miracles, but the thoughts and motivations that accompany it. Ensuring that the pursuit of wealth comes from a place of love and a desire to serve others aligns it with the Course's teachings.
