A Course In Miracles

A Course in Miracles is so pure, so fantastic, so powerful, and so considerably more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world's literature (past and present), that you have to in fact expertise it to believe it. But these whose minds are also attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for accurate spiritual knowledge that is required for its understanding, will most likely not comprehend a single complete web page. That is not simply because A Course in Miracles is confusing - on the contrary its principles are remarkably easy - but rather since it is the nature of spiritual expertise that those who are not prepared to comprehend it, merely cannot comprehend 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 considering that I very first became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading a lot of great spiritual performs like the Bible (my favorite 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 acim with an open mind and heart, your fears and troubles wash away. You grow to be conscious of a marvelous enjoy deep inside you - deeper than something you knew before. The future starts to look so bright for you and your loved ones. You feel enjoy for everyone which includes those you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are extremely effective and at times throw you off balance a little, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a love so peaceful, so strong and so universal - you will wonder how so numerous of the world's religions, whose aim is supposedly a similar encounter, got so off track.

I would like to say here to any Christian who feels that his church's teachings do not really satisfy his thirst to know a kind, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to study the Course simply because of others' claims that it is inconsistent with "correct" Christianity: Never worry! I have read the gospels numerous occasions and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is totally consistent with Jesus' teachings although he was on earth. Do not worry the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma - these poor folks consider 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' true message: unconditional adore for *all people*. Whilst 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 they taste negative, 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 found A Course in Miracles to be practically nothing significantly less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations - and may possibly your heart always be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
