A Course in Miracles is so pure, so great, so effective, and so a lot more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world's literature (past and present), that you have to in fact experience it to think it. But those whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for true spiritual information that is needed for its understanding, will probably not comprehend a single whole page. That is not because A Course in Miracles is confusing - on the contrary its principles are remarkably basic - but rather since it is the nature of spiritual expertise that these who are not ready to understand it, simply cannot 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 since I very first became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading many superb spiritual works 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 become aware of a marvelous love deep within you - deeper than anything you knew just before. The future begins to look so bright for you and your loved ones. You feel really like for absolutely everyone such as these you previously have attempted to leave excluded. These experiences are quite effective and at instances throw you off balance a little, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a really like so peaceful, so robust and so universal - you will wonder how so a lot of 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 genuinely satisfy his thirst to know a type, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course due to the fact of others' claims that it is inconsistent with "correct" Christianity: Do not worry! I have read the gospels a lot of times and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is entirely constant with Jesus' teachings whilst he was on earth. Do not fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma - these poor individuals believe 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 enjoy for *all people*. While he was on earth, Jesus stated to judge a tree by its fruit. So give it a try and see how the fruits that ripen in your life taste. If acim taste bad, you can abandon A Course in Miracles. But if they taste as sweet as mine do, and the millions of other true seekers who have identified A Course in Miracles to be nothing at all less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations - and may your heart constantly be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
