A Course in Miracles is so pure, so fantastic, so effective, and so considerably far more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (past 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 understanding that is required for its understanding, will probably not comprehend a single whole page. That is not because A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably easy – but rather since it is the nature of spiritual expertise that these who are not ready to understand it, basically can’t 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 considering that I very first became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading a lot of wonderful spiritual functions like the Bible (my preferred 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 before. The future starts to appear so vibrant for you and your loved ones. You really feel adore for every person such as these you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are really powerful and at occasions throw you off balance a little, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a adore so peaceful, so strong and so universal – you will wonder how so several of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a similar knowledge, got so off track.
I would like to say right 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 study the Course due to the fact of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “accurate” Christianity: Never worry! I have read the gospels numerous instances and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is fully constant with Jesus’ teachings although he was on earth. Never fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor men and women believe themselves to be the only carriers of Jesus’ message, and the only ones worthy of his blessings, although all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus’ true message: unconditional love for *all men and women*. 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 negative, you can abandon A Course in Miracles. But if they taste as sweet as mine do, and the millions of other accurate seekers who have found A Course in Miracles to be absolutely nothing less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and could your heart constantly be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
