A Course in Miracles is so pure, so wonderful, so potent, and so significantly a lot more spiritually advanced than any other piece of the world’s literature (previous and present), that you have to really experience it to think it. But these whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for accurate spiritual information that is required for its understanding, will likely not comprehend a single entire web page. That is not since A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably simple – but rather because it is the nature of spiritual understanding 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 because I first became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading numerous wonderful spiritual works like the Bible (my favourite 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 grow to be conscious of a marvelous enjoy deep inside you – deeper than anything you knew prior to. The future starts to look so bright for you and your loved ones. You feel enjoy for absolutely everyone which includes those you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are quite strong and at instances throw you off balance a little, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a enjoy so peaceful, so sturdy and so universal – you will wonder how so a lot of of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a similar expertise, got so off track.

I would like to say right here to any Christian who feels that his church’s teachings do not genuinely satisfy his thirst to know a kind, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to study the Course due to the fact of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “accurate” Christianity: Don’t worry! I have read the gospels many instances and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is completely consistent with Jesus’ teachings whilst he was on earth. Don’t 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’ true message: unconditional enjoy for *all individuals*. Even though he was on earth, Jesus said 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 undesirable, 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 identified A Course in Miracles to be practically nothing much less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and might your heart always be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
