A Course in Miracles is so pure, so wonderful, so strong, and so a lot more spiritually advanced than any other piece of the world’s literature (past and present), that you have to actually experience it to think it. But these whose minds are too attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for accurate spiritual information that is required for its understanding, will probably not comprehend a single whole 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 these who are not prepared to understand it, just can not recognize 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 because I first became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading numerous superb spiritual operates like the Bible (my preferred 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 mind and heart, your fears and troubles wash away. You turn out to be conscious of a marvelous really like deep inside you – deeper than something you knew just before. The future begins to appear so bright for you and your loved ones. You really feel really like for every person like those you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are quite potent and at occasions throw you off balance a little, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a love so peaceful, so strong and so universal – you will wonder how so many 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 actually satisfy his thirst to know a kind, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course due to the fact of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “true” Christianity: Do not worry! I have read the gospels many times and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is completely consistent with Jesus’ teachings even though he was on earth. Do not worry the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor people think themselves to be the only carriers of Jesus’ message, and the only ones worthy of his blessings, although all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus’ accurate message: unconditional love for *all men and women*. Although 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 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 found A Course in Miracles to be absolutely nothing less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and may possibly your heart usually be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
