A Course In Miracles
A Course in Miracles is so pure, so wonderful, so strong, and so considerably much more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world's literature (past and present), that you have to really expertise it to think it. But those whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for accurate spiritual knowledge that is necessary for its understanding, will most likely not comprehend a single entire page. That is not due to the fact A Course in Miracles is confusing - on the contrary its principles are remarkably straightforward - but rather simply because it is the nature of spiritual expertise that those who are not ready to comprehend it, merely can't understand 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 conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading several fantastic spiritual functions like the Bible (my favored components 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 conscious of a marvelous love deep within you - deeper than anything you knew prior to. The future starts to look so bright for you and your loved ones. You really feel enjoy for everybody including those you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are quite effective and at occasions throw you off balance a small, 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 many 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 since of others' claims that it is inconsistent with "accurate" Christianity: Never be concerned! I have study the gospels several times and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is totally consistent with Jesus' teachings while he was on earth. Never fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma - these poor people believe themselves to be the only carriers of Jesus' message, and the only ones worthy of his blessings, even though all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus' correct message: unconditional enjoy for *all folks*. While he was on earth, Jesus said to judge a tree by its fruit. So give a course in miracles and see how the fruits that ripen in your life taste. If they taste undesirable, 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 located A Course in Miracles to be nothing at all significantly less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations - and may your heart often be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
