A Course in Miracles is so pure, so wonderful, so powerful, and so considerably more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (past and present), that you have to in fact experience it to believe it. But those whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for correct spiritual expertise that is essential for its understanding, will probably not comprehend a single whole page. That is not since A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably basic – but rather due to the fact it is the nature of spiritual information that those who are not prepared to comprehend it, merely can’t comprehend 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 1st became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading a lot of 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 turn into aware of a marvelous really like deep within you – deeper than anything you knew before. The future starts to look so bright for you and your loved ones. You feel adore for every person including those you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are quite potent and at instances throw you off balance a tiny, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a enjoy so peaceful, so strong and so universal – you will wonder how so many 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 genuinely satisfy his thirst to know a kind, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course since of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “correct” Christianity: Do not worry! I have study the gospels several times and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is totally constant with Jesus’ teachings while he was on earth. Never fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor individuals 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’ accurate message: unconditional enjoy for *all individuals*. While he was on earth, Jesus stated 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 poor, 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 identified A Course in Miracles to be practically nothing much less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and may your heart often be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
