A Course in Miracles is so pure, so great, so potent, and so considerably a lot more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (previous and present), that you have to truly encounter it to think it. But these whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for accurate spiritual information that is essential for its understanding, will most likely not comprehend a single entire page. That is not since A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably simple – but rather simply because it is the nature of spiritual expertise that those who are not ready to realize it, just can’t 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 considering that I first became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading a lot of fantastic spiritual functions 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 thoughts and heart, your fears and troubles wash away. You become conscious of a marvelous really like deep inside you – deeper than something you knew ahead of. The future begins to appear so bright for you and your loved ones. You feel enjoy for everyone such as these you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are quite powerful 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 strong and so universal – you will wonder how so many of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a comparable knowledge, got so off track.
I would like to say 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 because of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “true” Christianity: Never worry! I have study the gospels numerous occasions and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is totally consistent with Jesus’ teachings while he was on earth. Do not 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, although all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus’ accurate message: unconditional enjoy for *all people*. Although 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 poor, 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 nothing less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and might your heart constantly be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
