A Course in Miracles is so pure, so great, so powerful, and so considerably much more spiritually advanced than any other piece of the world’s literature (previous and present), that you have to really encounter it to believe it. But those whose minds are too attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for accurate spiritual knowledge that is necessary for its understanding, will most likely not comprehend a single entire page. That is not simply because A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably basic – but rather simply because it is the nature of spiritual expertise that these who are not prepared to understand it, merely 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 since I first became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading a lot of wonderful spiritual operates like the Bible (my favorite 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 anything you knew prior to. The future starts to seem so bright for you and your loved ones. You really feel adore for absolutely everyone such as these you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are very strong and at occasions 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 several of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a equivalent encounter, 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 sort, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to study the Course since of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “true” Christianity: Don’t worry! I have read the gospels numerous occasions and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is entirely consistent with Jesus’ teachings although he was on earth. Do not fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor men and women feel 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’ accurate message: unconditional love for *all individuals*. Although he was on earth, Jesus mentioned 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 accurate seekers who have identified A Course in Miracles to be nothing less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and might your heart constantly be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
