A Course in Miracles is so pure, so superb, so effective, and so considerably more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (previous and present), that you have to truly knowledge it to believe it. But those whose minds are too attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for accurate spiritual expertise that is necessary for its understanding, will likely not comprehend a single entire web page. That is not simply because A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably simple – but rather since it is the nature of spiritual expertise that those who are not ready to realize it, just cannot understand 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 considering that I initial became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading many superb spiritual works like the Bible (my preferred 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 turn out to be aware of a marvelous enjoy deep inside you – deeper than anything you knew prior to. The future starts to seem so vibrant for you and your loved ones. You really feel really like for every person like those you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are very strong and at occasions throw you off balance a small, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a enjoy 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 actually satisfy his thirst to know a sort, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course simply because of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “accurate” Christianity: Never be concerned! I have read the gospels numerous instances and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is completely constant with Jesus’ teachings even though he was on earth. Don’t worry the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor people believe 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 men and women*. Even though he was on earth, Jesus said 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 correct seekers who have identified A Course in Miracles to be absolutely nothing much less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and may possibly your heart often be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
