A Course in Miracles is so pure, so superb, so powerful, and so significantly much more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world’s literature (past and present), that you have to actually expertise it to believe it. But acim whose minds are also attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for accurate spiritual expertise that is necessary for its understanding, will probably not comprehend a single complete 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 knowledge that these who are not ready to realize it, just can’t understand 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 first became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading a lot of great spiritual operates 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 grow to be conscious of a marvelous really like deep inside you – deeper than anything you knew just before. The future starts to look so bright for you and your loved ones. You really feel really like for everybody like those you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are very effective and at times throw you off balance a little, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a really like so peaceful, so strong and so universal – you will wonder how so numerous of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a similar knowledge, 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 study the Course since of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “correct” Christianity: Never be concerned! I have read the gospels several instances and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is fully constant with Jesus’ teachings although he was on earth. Do not fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor individuals feel 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’ accurate message: unconditional enjoy for *all people*. Although 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 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 absolutely nothing significantly less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and may your heart always be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
