A Course In Miracles
A Course in Miracles is so pure, so superb, so powerful, and so significantly a lot more spiritually advanced than any other piece of the world's literature (past and present), that you have to really experience it to think it. But these whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for true spiritual expertise that is essential for its understanding, will probably not comprehend a single complete web page. That is not due to the fact 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 understanding that those who are not prepared to realize it, simply can not 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 because I very first became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading several wonderful spiritual works 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 into aware of a marvelous adore deep within you - deeper than anything you knew before. The future begins to appear so bright for you and your loved ones. You really feel really like for every person including these you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are very effective and at instances throw you off balance a little, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a enjoy so peaceful, so strong and so universal - you will wonder how so numerous of the world's religions, whose aim is supposedly a comparable expertise, 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 due to the fact of others' claims that it is inconsistent with "accurate" Christianity: Don't worry! I have read the gospels several times and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is totally consistent with Jesus' teachings although he was on earth. Never 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, although all other will go to hell. ucem in Miracles reflects Jesus' correct message: unconditional really like for *all men and women*. While 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 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 identified A Course in Miracles to be nothing significantly less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations - and may possibly your heart always be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
