A Course in Miracles is so pure, so fantastic, so strong, and so considerably a lot more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (past and present), that you have to really experience it to think it. But those whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for true spiritual knowledge that is needed for its understanding, will most likely not comprehend a single entire page. That is not due to the fact A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably simple – but rather simply because it is the nature of spiritual information that those who are not prepared to comprehend it, simply cannot 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 since I 1st became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading many fantastic spiritual works like the Bible (my favourite 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 conscious of a marvelous enjoy deep inside you – deeper than anything you knew before. The future starts to look so vibrant for you and your loved ones. You really feel love for everyone such as those you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are very powerful 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 related experience, got so off track.
I would like to say right 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 study the Course since of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “true” Christianity: Never worry! I have study the gospels several occasions and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is completely constant with Jesus’ teachings although he was on earth. Never worry the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor folks feel 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’ accurate message: unconditional love for *all individuals*. Whilst 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 identified A Course in Miracles to be absolutely nothing much less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and may your heart always be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
