The Happy Scrapper

A Course in Miracles is so pure, so wonderful, so potent, and so a lot a lot more spiritually advanced than any other piece of the world’s literature (previous and present), that you have to really encounter 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 needed for its understanding, will probably not comprehend a single complete page. That is not since 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, basically 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 since I first became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading a lot of fantastic spiritual operates 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 conscious of a marvelous adore deep inside you – deeper than anything you knew just before. The future starts to appear so bright for you and your loved ones. You feel really like for everyone like those you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are quite potent and at occasions throw you off balance a small, 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 many of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a equivalent knowledge, got so off track.

I would like to say here to any Christian who feels that his church’s teachings do not truly 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: Don’t be concerned! I have read the gospels a lot of instances and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is entirely constant with Jesus’ teachings even though he was on earth. Never fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor folks believe 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 love for *all people*. Whilst he was on earth, Jesus said 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 true seekers who have found A Course in Miracles to be practically nothing less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and may your heart usually be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
