A Course in Miracles is so pure, so fantastic, so effective, and so a lot far more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (past and present), that you have to truly expertise it to believe it. But those whose minds are also attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for true spiritual understanding that is necessary for its understanding, will likely not comprehend a single complete page. That is not because A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably easy – but rather simply because it is the nature of spiritual expertise that these who are not ready to comprehend it, simply 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 since I very first became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading several wonderful spiritual functions like the Bible (my favourite 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 grow to be aware of a marvelous love deep within you – deeper than anything you knew just before. The future begins to appear so bright for you and your loved ones. You really feel enjoy for everybody which includes these you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are extremely strong and at occasions throw you off balance a small, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a really like 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 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 due to the fact of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “accurate” Christianity: Do not be concerned! I have read the gospels a lot of instances and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is completely consistent with Jesus’ teachings whilst he was on earth. Never fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor people believe 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 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 negative, 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 absolutely nothing less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and may your heart often be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
