A Course in Miracles is so pure, so great, so potent, and so considerably much 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 those whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for accurate spiritual knowledge that is essential 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 ready to realize it, simply can't 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 because I 1st became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading numerous great spiritual works like the Bible (my favourite 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 turn out to be conscious of a marvelous adore deep within you - deeper than something you knew just before. The future starts to appear so bright for you and your loved ones. You really feel really like for everyone including those you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are very strong 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 sturdy and so universal - you will wonder how so numerous of the world's religions, whose aim is supposedly a comparable knowledge, got so off track. I would like to say here to any Christian who feels that his church's teachings do not genuinely satisfy his thirst to know a type, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course simply because of others' claims that it is inconsistent with accurate Christianity: Never worry! I have read the gospels several times and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is entirely consistent with Jesus' teachings whilst he was on earth. Do not fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma - these poor individuals consider themselves to be the only carriers of Jesus' message, and the only ones worthy of his blessings, whilst all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus' correct message: unconditional adore for *all individuals*. Although he was on earth, Jesus said to judge a tree by its fruit. So give a course in miracles and see how the fruits that ripen in your life taste. If they taste bad, 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 discovered A Course in Miracles to be practically nothing less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations - and may possibly your heart constantly be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
