My gratitude goes to Lee Flynn for His guidance and efforts in finding all the mentions of SOUL in the UR text ACIM and providing this document for us to reference. An extended gratitude to those who partook in the release of the Sparkly-Thetford edition of A Course in Miracles that has SOUL reinstated within it. Not only was Soul reinstated in the Sparkly Edition, but many other editorial errors were corrected as well.
I have always said within myself that "I have been lead by the guidance of my Soul" therefore to include our innate nature in a text that talks directly about what we are in Truth (a soul), only makes sense. It was included in the ORIGINAL dictation of Jesus through Helen, so why take it out to begin with?
In the FIP(Foundation for Inner Peace) edition of A Course in Miracles, Ken Wapnick states that Soul was taken out because of its "controversial nature", which to me, is nothing more than an opinion. If we were to look at what IS controversial, in all honesty, the whole of ACIM would be controversial, and not just the reference to us as SOULS! In the UR Text, which is the ORIGINAL transcription of a Course in Miracles; Soul is referenced repeatedly as an intregal part of Jesus' message to us. Sparkly simply references the UR Text, and restores ACIM back to the way Jesus intended it to be through adding Soul back in, and fixing many other errors that were made in the first editing process. More details on this can be found here.

I am always reminded of the part in the Course where it says "You will believe this Course wholly or not at all". The CONTENT of ACIM is far beyond its words, that whether one uses the FIP edition or the Sparkly edition or the UR Text... if the message of ACIM truly wants to be learned, IT WILL BE! There is no exception in this. I even see this through my husband Tom Glod who only used FIP version and experienced revelation as an effect of his prayer and devotion to God and the Truth.
Therefore in recognition of what is True in all things, I am eternally grateful to everyone who took part in the release of ACIM to the world....every part of it!
Here is a resource, the link for the Soul that is found throughout the UR text ACIM. Enjoy!
