A Course in Miracles is so pure, so fantastic, so powerful, and so considerably far more spiritually advanced than any other piece of the world’s literature (previous and present), that you have to actually expertise it to think it. But these whose minds are too attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for true spiritual knowledge that is required for its understanding, will likely not comprehend a single entire page. That is not because A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably easy – but rather due to the fact it is the nature of spiritual expertise that those who are not ready to understand it, just can’t recognize 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 considering that I initial became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading numerous great spiritual performs like the Bible (my preferred 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 mind and heart, your fears and troubles wash away. You grow to be aware of a marvelous enjoy deep within you – deeper than anything you knew prior to. The future begins to appear so vibrant for you and your loved ones.

I would like to say right here to any Christian who feels that his church’s teachings do not genuinely satisfy his thirst to know a kind, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course because of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “accurate” Christianity: Don’t be concerned! I have read the gospels a lot of times and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is completely consistent with Jesus’ teachings while he was on earth. Don’t worry 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. acim in Miracles reflects Jesus’ accurate message: unconditional really like for *all individuals*. While 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 they taste as sweet as mine do, and the millions of other accurate seekers who have identified A Course in Miracles to be nothing at all less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and could your heart usually be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
