    A Course in Miracles is so pure, so wonderful, so strong, and so much more spiritually advanced than any other piece of the world’s literature (past and present), that you have to actually experience it to think it. But those whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for correct spiritual information that is needed for its understanding, will likely not comprehend a single complete page. That is not because A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably easy – but rather because it is the nature of spiritual expertise that these who are not ready to comprehend it, just can not understand 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 given that I initial became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading several great spiritual operates like the Bible (my preferred parts 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 into conscious of a marvelous love deep within you – deeper than something you knew prior to. The future begins to appear so vibrant for you and your loved ones. You feel enjoy for everybody like those you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are quite strong and at times throw you off balance a small, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a adore so peaceful, so robust and so universal – you will wonder how so numerous of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a related experience, 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 study the Course due to the fact of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “true” Christianity: Do not worry! I have read the gospels a lot of occasions and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is entirely consistent with Jesus’ teachings although he was on earth. Never fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor people 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 men and women*. Even though he was on earth, Jesus mentioned 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 accurate seekers who have discovered A Course in Miracles to be practically nothing less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and may possibly your heart usually be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
