A Course in Miracles is so pure, so great, so powerful, and so much far more spiritually advanced than any other piece of the world’s literature (past and present), that you have to actually knowledge it to believe it. But those whose minds are as well attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for accurate spiritual understanding that is required for its understanding, will likely 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 straightforward – but rather because it is the nature of spiritual expertise that these who are not ready to realize it, just can’t realize 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 1st became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading a lot of great spiritual functions like the Bible (my favorite 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 become aware of a marvelous love deep within you – deeper than something you knew ahead of. The future starts to appear so bright for you and your loved ones. You feel really like for everyone which includes these you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are extremely effective and at instances throw you off balance a tiny, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a love so peaceful, so sturdy and so universal – you will wonder how so many of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a similar encounter, got so off track.

acim would like to say right here to any Christian who feels that his church’s teachings do not truly satisfy his thirst to know a sort, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to read the Course due to the fact of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “accurate” Christianity: Don’t worry! I have read the gospels many occasions and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is fully constant with Jesus’ teachings even though he was on earth. Do not worry the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor people consider 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’ true message: unconditional love for *all individuals*. Whilst 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 undesirable, 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 your heart often be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
