A Course In Miracles
A Course in Miracles is so pure, so superb, so potent, 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 knowledge it to think it. But these whose minds are too attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for correct spiritual expertise that is necessary for its understanding, will likely not comprehend a single whole page. That is not because 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 expertise that these who are not prepared to recognize it, simply cannot recognize 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 given that I initial became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading numerous superb spiritual performs like the Bible (my preferred 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 mind and heart, your fears and troubles wash away.

I would like to say right 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 study the Course due to the fact of others' claims that it is inconsistent with "accurate" Christianity: Do not worry! I have read the gospels numerous instances and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is entirely consistent with Jesus' teachings whilst he was on earth. Do not fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma - these poor folks 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' accurate message: unconditional really like for *all folks*. Although he was on earth, Jesus stated 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 correct seekers who have identified A Course in Miracles to be nothing at all much less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations - and could your heart usually be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
