A Course in Miracles is so pure, so great, so potent, and so a lot more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (previous and present), that you have to truly knowledge it to believe it. But these whose minds are too attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for true spiritual knowledge that is necessary for its understanding, will most likely not comprehend a single complete page. That is not because A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably straightforward – but rather simply because it is the nature of spiritual knowledge that those who are not prepared to realize it, just can not 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 numerous great spiritual performs 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 mind and heart, your fears and troubles wash away. You turn into conscious of a marvelous enjoy deep within you – deeper than something you knew just before. The future starts to look so vibrant for you and your loved ones. You really feel love for absolutely everyone like these you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are really powerful and at times throw you off balance a small, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a really like so peaceful, so powerful and so universal – you will wonder how so a lot of of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a comparable experience, got so off track.
I would like to say right here to any Christian who feels that his church’s teachings do not really 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 “accurate” Christianity: Do not be concerned! I have read the gospels numerous instances and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is fully constant with Jesus’ teachings while he was on earth. Never worry the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor people feel 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’ accurate message: unconditional really like for *all people*. While 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 negative, you can abandon A Course in Miracles. But if they taste as sweet as mine do, and the millions of other true seekers who have identified A Course in Miracles to be practically nothing less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and may your heart often be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
