The Happy Scrapper

A Course in Miracles is so pure, so superb, so effective, and so much more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (past and present), that you have to actually expertise it to think it. But these whose minds are also attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for true spiritual knowledge that is essential for its understanding, will probably not comprehend a single complete web page. That is not due to the fact 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 comprehend it, simply can not recognize 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 given that I 1st became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading numerous fantastic spiritual works like the Bible (my favourite 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 grow to be conscious of a marvelous adore deep within you – deeper than anything you knew prior to. The future begins to appear so bright for you and your loved ones. You really feel adore for everybody like those you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are quite effective and at times throw you off balance a tiny, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a adore so peaceful, so sturdy and so universal – you will wonder how so numerous of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a comparable encounter, 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 kind, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course because of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “true” Christianity: Do not worry! I have read the gospels many instances and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is entirely consistent with Jesus’ teachings whilst he was on earth. Do not fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor folks feel 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 love for *all people*. Although he was on earth, Jesus mentioned 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 undesirable, 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 may your heart constantly be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
