The Happy Scrapper

A Course in Miracles is so pure, so wonderful, so powerful, and so a lot a lot more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (previous and present), that you have to truly expertise it to believe it. But these whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for correct spiritual understanding that is needed for its understanding, will likely not comprehend a single whole web page. That is not since A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably simple – but rather simply because it is the nature of spiritual expertise that these who are not prepared to recognize it, just can’t 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 initial became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading numerous great spiritual works 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 thoughts and heart, your fears and troubles wash away. You grow to be aware of a marvelous love deep within you – deeper than something you knew before. The future begins to appear so vibrant for you and your loved ones. You really feel adore for everyone such as those you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are really effective 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 powerful and so universal – you will wonder how so several of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a similar encounter, 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 sort, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course due to the fact of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “correct” Christianity: Do not be concerned! I have study the gospels many times and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is totally consistent with Jesus’ teachings whilst he was on earth. Never fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor people consider themselves to be the only carriers of Jesus’ message, and the only ones worthy of his blessings, even though all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus’ correct message: unconditional adore for *all people*. Whilst 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 true seekers who have located A Course in Miracles to be nothing much less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and may your heart often be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
