The Happy Scrapper

A Course in Miracles is so pure, so great, so powerful, and so significantly far more spiritually advanced than any other piece of the world’s literature (past and present), that you have to really encounter it to think it. But these whose minds are too attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for true spiritual knowledge that is required for its understanding, will probably not comprehend a single complete page. That is not simply because A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably easy – but rather since it is the nature of spiritual knowledge that these who are not ready to realize it, just can not 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 first became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading several fantastic spiritual operates like the Bible (my favored 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 love deep within you – deeper than something you knew prior to. The future starts to seem so bright for you and your loved ones. You really feel really like for every person such as those you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are quite powerful and at occasions throw you off balance a little, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a really like so peaceful, so robust and so universal – you will wonder how so numerous of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a similar knowledge, 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 study the Course simply because of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “true” Christianity: Never worry! I have read the gospels a lot of occasions and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is totally constant with Jesus’ teachings whilst he was on earth. Do not fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor men and women consider 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’ correct message: unconditional love for *all individuals*. Even though he was on earth, Jesus stated 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 poor, you can abandon A Course in Miracles. But if they taste as sweet as mine do, and the millions of other correct seekers who have found A Course in Miracles to be nothing at all much less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and might your heart always be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
