A Course in Miracles is so pure, so wonderful, so potent, and so much a lot more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (past and present), that you have to really encounter it to believe it. But these whose minds are too attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for accurate spiritual information that is required for its understanding, will most 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 straightforward – but rather simply because it is the nature of spiritual expertise that these who are not ready to understand it, basically can not recognize 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 given that I very first became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading many superb spiritual performs 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 turn into aware of a marvelous adore deep inside you – deeper than something you knew prior to. The future starts to appear so bright for you and your loved ones. You really feel enjoy for everyone like these you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are quite powerful and at times throw you off balance a small, 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 many of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a similar encounter, 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 kind, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course due to the fact of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “true” Christianity: Never be concerned! I have read the gospels several occasions and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is completely constant with Jesus’ teachings whilst he was on earth. Never worry acim of exclusionist dogma – these poor people believe 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’ correct message: unconditional adore for *all individuals*. 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 true seekers who have discovered A Course in Miracles to be nothing much less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and might your heart always be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
