A Course in Miracles is so pure, so superb, so effective, and so considerably more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (past and present), that you have to in fact encounter it to think it. But those whose minds are also attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for correct spiritual knowledge that is necessary for its understanding, will probably not comprehend a single entire web page. That is not simply because A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably simple – but rather since it is the nature of spiritual expertise that those who are not prepared to recognize it, simply can not realize it. As stated in the Bible, at the beginning of the book of John: “The light shineth in darkness, and darkness comprehended it not”.

Ever considering that I initial became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading a lot of wonderful spiritual works like the Bible (my favorite components are the Sermon on the Mount and Psalms), the Bhagavad-Gita, the Upanishads, the Koran and the poetry of Kabir and Rumi. None of them come close to the greatness of a Course in Miracles. Reading it with an open thoughts and heart, your fears and troubles wash away. You become conscious of a marvelous really like deep within you – deeper than anything you knew ahead of. The future starts to seem so bright for you and your loved ones.

I would like to say right here to any Christian who feels that his church’s teachings do not truly satisfy his thirst to know a sort, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course since of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “correct” Christianity: Do not worry! I have study the gospels numerous instances and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is totally consistent with Jesus’ teachings whilst he was on earth. Never fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor people consider themselves to be the only carriers of Jesus’ message, and the only ones worthy of his blessings, while all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus’ correct message: unconditional adore for *all individuals*. While he was on earth, Jesus stated to judge a tree by its fruit. So give it a try and see how the fruits that ripen in your life taste. If they taste negative, you can abandon A Course in Miracles. But if they taste as sweet as mine do, and the millions of other correct seekers who have discovered A Course in Miracles to be practically nothing significantly less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and could your heart often be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
