A Course In Miracles
A Course in Miracles is so pure, so great, 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 really knowledge it to believe it. But those whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for accurate spiritual understanding that is required for its understanding, will likely not comprehend a single whole web page. That is not simply because A Course in Miracles is confusing - on the contrary its principles are remarkably straightforward - but rather due to the fact it is the nature of spiritual expertise that these who are not ready to understand it, simply can not realize 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 because I 1st became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading many wonderful 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 it with an open thoughts and heart, your fears and troubles wash away. You turn out to be aware of a marvelous enjoy deep inside you - deeper than something you knew ahead of. The future starts to look so vibrant for you and your loved ones. You really feel adore for everybody such as those you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are extremely effective and at occasions throw you off balance a little, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a love so peaceful, so sturdy and so universal - you will wonder how so numerous of the world's religions, whose aim is supposedly a comparable encounter, got so off track.
I would like to say right 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 because of others' claims that it is inconsistent with "true" Christianity: Never worry! I have study the gospels numerous times and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is fully consistent with Jesus' teachings even though he was on earth. Do not worry 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, although all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus' accurate message: unconditional enjoy for *all individuals*. Even though he was on earth, Jesus said 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 authors taste poor, you can abandon A Course in Miracles. But if they taste as sweet as mine do, and the millions of other correct seekers who have discovered A Course in Miracles to be nothing at all significantly less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations - and could your heart often be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
