An application in Miracles is so pure, so wonderful, so powerful, and much more spiritually advanced than any other part of the world's literature (past and present), that you have to actually experience it to think it. But those whoever minds are too attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying being thirsty for true spiritual knowledge that is required for its understanding, will likely not comprehend a single 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 who are not ready to understand it, simply cannot understand it. As stated in the Somebody, at the beginning of the book of John: "The light shineth in darkness, and darkness comprehended it not".
Ever since I first became aware of the majestic a course in miracles questions and answers and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading many wonderful spiritual works like the Somebody (my favorite parts are the Sermon on the Mount and Psalms), the Bhagavad-Gita, the Upanishads, the Koran and the poems of Kabir and Rumi. Undertake and don't come towards the greatness of a Course in Miracles. Reading it with an open mind and heart, your fears and troubles wash away. You notice a marvelous love deep within you -- deeper than whatever you decide and knew before. The future begins to look so bright for you and your loved ones. You feel love for everyone including those you previously have tried to leave omitted. These experiences are very powerful and at times throw you off balance a little, but it is worth it: An application in Miracles features you to a love so peaceful, so strong and so general -- you will wonder how so many of the world's beliefs, whoever aim is purportedly a similar experience, got so off track.
I would like to say here to any Christian who feels that his church's teachings do not truly satisfy his being thirsty to know a sort, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to see the Course because of others' claims that it is inconsistent with "true" Christianity: Don't worry! I have see the gospels many times and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is utterly in step 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 carriers of Jesus' message, and the only ones worthy of his joys, while all the other should go to terrible. An application in Miracles demonstrates Jesus' true message: unconditional love for *all people*. While he was on earth, Jesus asked judge a tree by its fruit. So test it out for and see how the fruits that ripen in your life taste. If they taste bad, you can abandon An application in Miracles. But if they taste as sweet as my own do, and the millions of other true searchers who have found An application in Miracles to be nothing less than a mind-blowing treasure, then congratulations -- and may your heart always be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
