A Course in Miracles is so pure, so wonderful, so powerful, and so much much more spiritually advanced than any other piece of the world’s literature (previous and present), that you have to actually experience it to think it. But those whose minds are also attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for true spiritual knowledge that is essential for its understanding, will likely not comprehend a single whole web page. That is not because A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably easy – but rather due to the fact it is the nature of spiritual expertise that those who are not ready to realize it, simply can’t comprehend 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 great spiritual operates like the Bible (my favored components 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 thoughts and heart, your fears and troubles wash away. You turn out to be conscious of a marvelous really like deep inside you – deeper than something you knew before. The future starts to look so bright for you and your loved ones. You feel love for every person which includes these you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are quite powerful and at occasions throw you off balance a tiny, 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 a lot of of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a equivalent expertise, got so off track.
I would like to say right here to any Christian who feels that his church’s teachings do not really satisfy his thirst to know a type, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to study the Course since of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “accurate” Christianity: Don’t worry! I have study the gospels numerous instances and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is entirely constant with Jesus’ teachings whilst he was on earth. Do not worry the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor men and women 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’ true message: unconditional really like for *all folks*. Even though he was on earth, Jesus mentioned 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 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 located A Course in Miracles to be practically nothing less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and could your heart always be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
