A Course in Miracles is so pure, so wonderful, so strong, and so significantly a lot more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (previous and present), that you have to in fact knowledge it to think it. But those whose minds are also attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for accurate spiritual understanding that is essential for its understanding, will most likely not comprehend a single complete page. That is not since A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably simple – but rather because it is the nature of spiritual knowledge that those who are not ready to comprehend it, simply cannot comprehend it. As stated in acim , 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 works like the Bible (my favourite 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 become conscious of a marvelous enjoy deep within you – deeper than something you knew prior to. The future starts to look so bright for you and your loved ones. You really feel love for absolutely everyone such as these you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are really strong 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 a lot of of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a similar experience, 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 sort, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course since of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “correct” Christianity: Never worry! I have read the gospels several occasions and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is fully consistent with Jesus’ teachings while he was on earth. Do not fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor individuals 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’ accurate 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 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 located 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.
