A Course in Miracles is so pure, so great, so potent, and so much more spiritually advanced than any other piece of the world's literature (previous and present), that you have to in fact experience it to believe it. But these whose minds are too attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for true spiritual understanding that is essential for its understanding, will most likely not comprehend a single entire 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 those who are not prepared to recognize it, just can't realize it. As stated in the Bible, at the beginning of the book of John: "The light shineth in darkness, and darkness comprehended it not".
Ever given that I 1st became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading a lot of wonderful spiritual functions like the Bible (my preferred parts are the Sermon on the Mount and Psalms), the Bhagavad-Gita, the Upanishads, the Koran and the poetry of Kabir and Rumi.

I would like to say 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 since of others' claims that it is inconsistent with "true" Christianity: Never worry! I have study the gospels numerous times and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is fully consistent with Jesus' teachings while he was on earth. Do not worry the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma - these poor men and women 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.
