[edit] Biography

Perry was born and raised in Southern California. While in his mid-teens he began developing a system, based on introspection, for explaining the workings of the mind and the nature of consciousness. He planned a career in developing and communicating this system, and geared his schooling around that expectation. In 1982, he graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a B.A. in psychology.

Perry has been a student of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) since 1981. He taught at Miracle Distribution Center in California from 1986 to 1989. He has traveled extensively, speaking throughout the U.S. and internationally. In 1993, Perry founded the Circle of Atonement.^[4]

At the Circle, Perry has been building a systematic vision^[5] of what A Course in Miracles is in theory and practice, following the Course as his personal path, teaching students through writing and speaking, and building an organization that would bring this vision of the Course to the world.
