A Course in Miracles is so pure, so superb, so effective, and so much more spiritually advanced than any other piece of the world’s literature (previous and present), that you have to in fact knowledge it to believe it. But those whose minds are too attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for true spiritual understanding that is necessary for its understanding, will most likely not comprehend a single whole page. That is not due to the fact A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably basic – but rather due to the fact it is the nature of spiritual knowledge that those who are not prepared to understand it, just cannot comprehend 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 first became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading many superb 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 mind and heart, your fears and troubles wash away. You grow to be aware of a marvelous enjoy deep inside you – deeper than something you knew prior to. The future begins to appear so bright for you and your loved ones. You feel enjoy for everyone including 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 sturdy and so universal – you will wonder how so numerous of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a comparable expertise, 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 kind, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course since of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “true” Christianity: Do not be concerned! I have study the gospels a lot of instances and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is completely consistent with Jesus’ teachings while he was on earth. Do not worry the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor folks believe 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’ correct message: unconditional enjoy for *all people*. 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 negative, 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 nothing at all significantly less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and could your heart always be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
