A Course in Miracles is so pure, so superb, so potent, and so significantly much more spiritually advanced than any other piece of the world’s literature (previous and present), that you have to actually expertise it to believe it. But those whose minds are too attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for correct spiritual understanding that is necessary for its understanding, will likely not comprehend a single entire page. That is not because A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably straightforward – but rather since it is the nature of spiritual knowledge that those who are not ready to understand it, merely 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 given that I first became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading numerous great spiritual operates 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 aware of a marvelous adore deep inside you – deeper than something you knew just before. The future starts to look so bright for you and your loved ones. You really feel adore for every person like those you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are extremely powerful and at times throw you off balance a little, 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 a lot of of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a similar knowledge, got so off track.
I would like to say here to any Christian who feels that his church’s teachings do not actually satisfy his thirst to know a sort, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course because of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “true” Christianity: Don’t be concerned! I have read the gospels a lot of instances and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is totally constant with Jesus’ teachings while he was on earth. Don’t fear 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, while all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus’ accurate 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 attempt and see how the fruits that ripen in your life taste. If they taste bad, 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 discovered A Course in Miracles to be nothing less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and might your heart usually be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
