A Course In Miracles
A Course in Miracles is so pure, so fantastic, so powerful, and so significantly much more spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world's literature (previous and present), that you have to in fact knowledge 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 required 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 straightforward - but rather because it is the nature of spiritual understanding that these who are not ready to realize it, merely can not 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 initial became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading a lot of wonderful spiritual works like the Bible (my favourite 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 adore deep inside you - deeper than anything you knew before. The future begins to seem so vibrant for you and your loved ones. You feel adore for absolutely everyone which includes these you previously have tried to leave excluded.

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 type, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course due to the fact of others' claims that it is inconsistent with "correct" Christianity: Do not be concerned! I have read the gospels several occasions and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is totally constant with Jesus' teachings while he was on earth. Don't fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma - these poor men and women 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. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus' accurate message: unconditional enjoy for *all individuals*. While un curso de milagros was on earth, Jesus stated 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 practically nothing significantly less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations - and may possibly your heart often be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
