A Course in Miracles is so pure, so fantastic, so strong, and so much more spiritually advanced than any other piece of the world’s literature (past and present), that you have to actually expertise it to believe it. But those whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for correct spiritual understanding that is required for its understanding, will most likely not comprehend a single complete page. That is not due to the fact A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably simple – but rather due to the fact it is the nature of spiritual expertise that those who are not ready to recognize it, just can not understand it. As stated in the Bible, at the beginning 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 several superb spiritual functions 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 become aware of a marvelous love deep inside you – deeper than anything you knew ahead of. The future starts to appear so bright for you and your loved ones. You really feel love for everybody including those you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are quite potent and at instances throw you off balance a small, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a really like so peaceful, so sturdy and so universal – you will wonder how so many of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a related knowledge, got so off track.
I would like to say here to any Christian who feels that his church’s teachings do not really satisfy his thirst to know a kind, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course simply because of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “true” Christianity: Don’t be concerned! I have study the gospels several instances and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is fully consistent with Jesus’ teachings while he was on earth. Do not worry 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, whilst all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus’ true message: unconditional adore for *all folks*. 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 undesirable, 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 identified A Course in Miracles to be nothing at all much less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and may possibly your heart constantly be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
