Compare the concept of the Real World in A Course In Miracles and The Revelations of John.
Attainment of the Real World
Sit quietly and look upon the world you see, and tell yourself, "The real world is not like this. It has no buildings, and there are no streets where people walk alone and separate. There are no stores where people buy an endless list of things they do not need. It is not lit with artificial light, and night comes not upon it. There is no day that brightens and grows dim. There is no loss. Nothing is there but shines, and shines forever."
ACIM Text T-13.VII.1.1
"And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine upon it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp thereof is the Lamb."
Revelations of John 21:23
In this small respect, at least, it seems that A Course In Miracles and standard American Christianity view the next world very similarly.
