A Course in Miracles is so pure, so great, so effective, and so much more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (previous and present), that you have to in fact knowledge it to think it. But those whose minds are too attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for correct spiritual expertise that is essential for its understanding, will most likely not comprehend a single entire page. That is not since A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably easy – but rather due to the fact it is the nature of spiritual understanding that those who are not prepared to recognize it, just can’t understand it. As stated in the Bible, at the starting of the book of John: “The light shineth in darkness, and darkness comprehended it not”.
Ever given that I 1st became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading many great spiritual works like the Bible (my preferred 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 conscious of a marvelous enjoy deep within you – deeper than something you knew ahead of. The future starts to appear so vibrant for you and your loved ones. You really feel enjoy for everyone such as those you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are extremely strong and at instances throw you off balance a small, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a love so peaceful, so powerful and so universal – you will wonder how so several of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a similar knowledge, got so off track.
I would like to say 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 read the Course due to the fact of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “correct” Christianity: Don’t be concerned! I have study the gospels a lot of occasions and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is completely consistent with Jesus’ teachings although he was on earth. Do not worry 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, even though all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus’ correct message: unconditional enjoy for *all folks*. Although 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 bad, 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 nothing at all significantly less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and may possibly your heart usually be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
