A Course in Miracles is so pure, so great, so effective, and so considerably a lot 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 these whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for true spiritual understanding that is necessary for its understanding, will probably not comprehend a single complete page. That is not simply 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 knowledge that those who are not prepared to realize it, merely cannot 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 since I very first became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading numerous superb spiritual operates like the Bible (my favored 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 become conscious of a marvelous enjoy deep inside you – deeper than something you knew before. The future begins to look so bright for you and your loved ones. You feel really like for everybody like these you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are very potent and at instances throw you off balance a small, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a really like so peaceful, so powerful and so universal – you will wonder how so several 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 due to the fact of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “accurate” Christianity: Do not worry! acim have study the gospels a lot of occasions and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is totally consistent with Jesus’ teachings although he was on earth. Don’t worry the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor men and women consider themselves to be the only carriers of Jesus’ message, and the only ones worthy of his blessings, even though all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus’ true message: unconditional enjoy for *all men and women*. Although he was on earth, Jesus mentioned 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 found A Course in Miracles to be practically nothing much less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and might your heart usually be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
