A Course in Miracles is indeed pure, so wonderful, so powerful, and a lot more spiritually advanced than any piece of the world's literature (past and present), that you have to really experience it to believe it. But those whose minds are too attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for true spiritual knowledge that's required for its understanding, will more than likely not comprehend an individual whole page. That's not because A Course in Miracles is confusing - on the contrary its principles are remarkably simple - but instead because it is the nature of spiritual knowledge that those people who are not willing to realize it, simply cannot understand it. As mentioned in the Bible, in the beginning of the book of John: "The light shineth in darkness, and darkness comprehended it not" ;.

Ever since I first became conscious of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I've enjoyed reading many wonderful spiritual works such as the Bible (my favorite parts would be the Sermon on the Mount and Psalms), the Bhagavad-Gita, the Upanishads, the Koran and the poetry of Kabir and Rumi. Not one of them come near the greatness of a Course in Miracles. Reading it having an open mind and heart, your fears and troubles wash away. david hoffmeister mp3 You become conscious of a splendid love deep within you - deeper than anything you knew before. The near future begins to look so bright for you personally and your loved ones. You are feeling passion for everyone including those you previously have tried to leave excluded.

I would like to say here to any Christian who feels that his church's teachings don't truly satisfy his thirst to learn a form, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to see the Course because of others' claims that it's inconsistent with "true" Christianity: Don't worry! I've see the gospels often times and I assure you a Course in Miracles is totally consistent with Jesus' teachings while he was on earth. Don't fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma - these poor people think themselves to be the only real carriers of Jesus' message, and the only real ones worthy of his blessings, while all other should go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus' true message: unconditional passion for *all people*. While he was on the planet, Jesus said to judge a tree by its fruit. So give it a decide to try and see the way the fruits that ripen in your life taste. Should they taste bad, you can abandon A Course in Miracles. But if they taste as sweet as mine do, and the an incredible number of other true seekers who have found A Course in Miracles to be nothing less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations - and may your heart often be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
