A Course in Miracles is so pure, so superb, so potent, and so significantly much more spiritually advanced than any other piece of the world’s literature (past and present), that you have to truly experience it to believe it. But those whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for true spiritual information that is essential for its understanding, will most likely not comprehend a single complete web page. That is not because A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably simple – but rather simply because it is the nature of spiritual knowledge that those who are not ready to understand it, just can’t 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 very first became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading many superb 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 turn out to be aware of a marvelous love deep inside you – deeper than something you knew before. The future starts to look so vibrant for you and your loved ones. You really feel adore for everyone such as those you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are quite powerful and at occasions throw you off balance a tiny, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a adore so peaceful, so strong and so universal – you will wonder how so numerous of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a related expertise, got so off track.
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 kind, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course simply because of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “correct” Christianity: Never worry! I have read the gospels many occasions and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is fully consistent with Jesus’ teachings although he was on earth. Don’t worry the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor folks believe themselves to be the only carriers of Jesus’ message, and the only ones worthy of his blessings, even though all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus’ correct message: unconditional adore for *all folks*. Although he was on earth, Jesus said to judge a tree by its fruit. So give it a attempt 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 identified A Course in Miracles to be nothing at all less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and might your heart always be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
