A Course in Miracles is so pure, so great, so powerful, and so much a lot more spiritually advanced 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 as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for correct spiritual understanding that is necessary for its understanding, will probably not comprehend a single whole 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 ready to recognize it, simply can’t comprehend 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 aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading many wonderful spiritual performs like the Bible (my favored 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 adore deep inside you – deeper than something you knew before. The future starts to look so vibrant for you and your loved ones. You feel love for everyone like these you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are really effective and at instances throw you off balance a tiny, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a really like so peaceful, so robust and so universal – you will wonder how so many 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 genuinely 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: Never be concerned! I have read the gospels many times and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is totally consistent with Jesus’ teachings even though he was on earth. Don’t 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, while all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus’ correct message: unconditional love for *all folks*. Even though 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 identified A Course in Miracles to be practically nothing significantly less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and might your heart constantly be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
