A Course in Miracles is so pure, so superb, so potent, and so a lot far more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (past and present), that you have to in fact experience it to believe it. But these whose minds are also attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for true spiritual knowledge that is necessary for its understanding, will probably not comprehend a single entire web page. That is not since A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably simple – but rather because it is the nature of spiritual knowledge that those who are not prepared to realize it, basically cannot 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 superb spiritual performs 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 become aware of a marvelous enjoy deep within you – deeper than something you knew prior to. The future starts to appear so vibrant for you and your loved ones. You really feel really like for everybody like those you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are extremely potent and at instances throw you off balance a little, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a adore so peaceful, so strong and so universal – you will wonder how so several of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a related expertise, got so off track.
I would like to say here to any Christian who feels that his church’s teachings do not truly satisfy his thirst to know a sort, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course because of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “correct” Christianity: Do not worry! I have read the gospels numerous instances and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is completely constant with Jesus’ teachings while he was on earth. Never fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor men and women consider themselves to be the only carriers of Jesus’ message, and the only ones worthy of his blessings, whilst all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus’ correct message: unconditional really like for *all people*. Even though he was on earth, Jesus said 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 bad, 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 located A Course in Miracles to be nothing at all less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and might your heart often be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
