A Course in Miracles is so pure, so fantastic, so potent, and so considerably much more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (previous and present), that you have to actually encounter it to believe it. But those whose minds are also attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for true spiritual information that is necessary for its understanding, will 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 easy – but rather since it is the nature of spiritual understanding that those who are not prepared to comprehend it, merely 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 since I first became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading numerous great spiritual functions 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 grow to be aware of a marvelous really like deep within you – deeper than anything you knew ahead of. The future starts to look so vibrant for you and your loved ones. You really feel love for every person which includes these you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are extremely strong and at times throw you off balance a little, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a enjoy so peaceful, so powerful and so universal – you will wonder how so numerous of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a comparable encounter, got so off track.

I would like to say here to any Christian who feels that his church’s teachings do not really satisfy his thirst to know a sort, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to study the Course because of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “true” Christianity: Never worry! I have read the gospels a lot of times and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is entirely consistent with Jesus’ teachings even though 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 love for *all folks*. Although 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 discovered A Course in Miracles to be practically nothing significantly less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and may your heart often be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
