A Course in Miracles is so pure, so fantastic, so effective, and so much much more spiritually advanced than any other piece of the world’s literature (past and present), that you have to actually encounter it to believe it. But those whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for correct spiritual expertise that is essential for its understanding, will likely not comprehend a single whole page. That is not simply because A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably simple – but rather because it is the nature of spiritual understanding that these who are not ready to recognize it, basically can not 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 because I very first became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading several 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 mind and heart, your fears and troubles wash away. You turn into conscious of a marvelous really like deep within you – deeper than anything you knew just before. The future starts to appear so vibrant for you and your loved ones. You really feel adore for everybody such as these you previously have attempted to leave excluded. acim are really potent and at occasions throw you off balance a little, 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 expertise, got so off track.
I would like to say here to any Christian who feels that his church’s teachings do not actually satisfy his thirst to know a type, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to study the Course since of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “correct” Christianity: Do not worry! I have study the gospels many occasions and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is totally consistent with Jesus’ teachings while he was on earth. Don’t fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor folks think 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’ true message: unconditional enjoy for *all men and women*. Whilst he was on earth, Jesus stated 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 undesirable, 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 nothing significantly less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and could your heart usually be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
