A Course in Miracles is so pure, so great, so strong, and so considerably far more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (previous and present), that you have to actually knowledge it to think 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 web page. That is not simply because A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably straightforward – but rather because it is the nature of spiritual knowledge that these who are not ready to recognize it, merely can not realize 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 conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading numerous great spiritual performs like the Bible (my favorite 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 grow to be conscious of a marvelous love deep within you – deeper than something you knew ahead of. The future begins to seem so vibrant for you and your loved ones. You really feel really like for every person which includes these you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are really powerful 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 powerful and so universal – you will wonder how so a lot of of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a equivalent encounter, got so off track.
I would like to say right here to any Christian who feels that his church’s teachings do not really 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 “true” Christianity: Do not worry! I have read the gospels many times and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is entirely constant with Jesus’ teachings even though he was on earth. Do not fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor men and women think themselves to be the only carriers of Jesus’ message, and the only ones worthy of his blessings, although all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus’ true message: unconditional love for *all people*. 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 negative, you can abandon A Course in Miracles. But if a course in miracles taste as sweet as mine do, and the millions of other true seekers who have discovered A Course in Miracles to be practically nothing significantly less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and may your heart usually be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
