A Course in Miracles is so pure, so superb, so effective, and so significantly far more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (previous and present), that you have to truly experience it to think it. But those whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for correct spiritual information that is essential for its understanding, will most likely not comprehend a single whole page. That is not because A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably simple – but rather due to the fact it is the nature of spiritual understanding that those who are not ready to understand it, simply can not 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 conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading many wonderful spiritual functions like the Bible (my favorite 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 out to be aware of a marvelous enjoy deep within you – deeper than something you knew just before. The future begins to seem so bright for you and your loved ones. You really feel love for everybody which includes these you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are very effective and at occasions throw you off balance a tiny, 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 equivalent 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 study the Course because of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “correct” Christianity: Never worry! I have study the gospels several instances and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is fully constant with Jesus’ teachings whilst he was on earth. Don’t worry 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 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 bad, 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 practically nothing significantly less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and may possibly your heart often be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
