A Course In Miracles
A Course in Miracles is so pure, so great, so strong, and so a lot far more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world's literature (past and present), that you have to actually encounter it to think it. But these whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for accurate spiritual information that is needed 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 basic - but rather simply because it is the nature of spiritual expertise that those who are not ready to recognize it, merely 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 1st became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading several great spiritual operates like the Bible (my favored 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 turn out to be aware of a marvelous love deep within you - deeper than anything you knew just before. christian mysticism starts to appear so bright for you and your loved ones. You feel love for everyone such as these you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are quite powerful and at times throw you off balance a tiny, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a adore so peaceful, so powerful and so universal - you will wonder how so several of the world's religions, whose aim is supposedly a related knowledge, got so off track.
I would like to say here to any Christian who feels that his church's teachings do not actually satisfy his thirst to know a kind, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course since of others' claims that it is inconsistent with "accurate" Christianity: Never be concerned! I have read the gospels many times and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is entirely constant with Jesus' teachings although he was on earth. Never fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma - these poor men and women believe themselves to be the only carriers of Jesus' message, and the only ones worthy of his blessings, while all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus' correct message: unconditional really like for *all individuals*. Whilst he was on earth, Jesus said 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 nothing at all much less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations - and might your heart usually be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
