 FORGIVENESS IS THE ANSWER: IT'S THAT SIMPLE March 11, 2007
Yvonne Keenan (Ayrshire, UK)
I know some people will not make sense of this book, but they will in time. This is because, as the book says, some minds are not ready for it yet, but in time all minds will be. I can appreciate how frustrating and disappointing this must be at this time but how comforting must it be that we "all" will be ready in time. It took a long, long time to read this book myself and cannot begin to describe the joy and inner peace I feel. You really need to look beyond what you see as a "body" to begin grasping the truth. I have for many years now felt I've known these principles somehow and feel I've been led to reading this book. I am ready to take on the forgiveness lessons, as difficult as these will be at times, for I know I am ready to return to my true Home. I've somehow always known that the answer to all fear, hate, negativity, etc... in the world is forgiveness. It is indeed THAT simple.

A Course in Miracles has changed my life forever. It is beautiful Sense Itself. It is true that it is involved and not everyone may be ready for it just now. We will be led to read whatever we need now.
This book teaches that our willingness to learn is all we need. It took me years to finish the text, but it soon began to fall into place. Persevere beyond the first few pages which lay out all the principles. The book is so involved because it addresses the many complexities of our self-defeating ego mind in order to enable us to see the Truth, which is SIMPLE.
Reading 'An Introduction to A Course in Miracles' will give you a good footing to begin on this mind-expanding, Heaven-revealing course.
"...the Holy Spirit shares the goal of all good teachers, whose ultimate aim is to make themselves unnecessary, by teaching their pupils all they know."
The Teacher Who speaks through the book is infinititely patient and is ready for our learning challenges even as we encounter them. Read it now if you can, or perhaps try again at a later date. It teaches that we learn of our abundance by giving, and of our perfection by forgiving because this reflects the way of Truth which we seek. Here are some quotes on our part as learners of the course:
"Your part is merely to apply what He has taught you to yourself, and He will do the rest. And thus the power of your learning will be proved to you, by all the many different witnesses it finds."
"The understanding that you need comes not of you, but from a larger Self..."
"Make fast your learning now, and understand you but waste time unless you go beyond what you have learned to what is yet to learn. For from this lowest point will learning lead to heights of happiness, in which you see the purpose of the lesson shining clear, and perfectly within your learning grasp."
"You are not called upon to do what one divided still against himself would find impossible...But be you thankful that only little faith is asked of you."

A Course in Miracles - Truly Miraculous June 26, 2005
13 out of 15 found this review helpful
I have just read a previous reader's review on this book and as a student feel it necessary to explain what A Course in Miracles is about.
This book is indeed a "Course" and must be approached in the same way one would approach the study of the Buddhist Scriptures or the Gita - as a lifetime study on the Path to Enlightenment. Just reading the book may indeed be confusing but so is The Tao Te Ching to the uninitiated. Do not attempt to study this book alone as just a book but find a Spiritual Master to help you with it and A Course in Miracles will help you on your Journey. If by merely reading it you find it difficult and incomprehensible then your Mind is not ready for it and you must ask your Soul to come forth and shine through and manifest your inner teacher to help you with it.
A Course in Miracles is indeed the true word of Jesus Christ and must be revered as such.
It is everything its title suggests "A Course in Miracles".

I bought this book after hearing SO so much about it. However, tellingly, I never heard anyone clearly state what they got out of it. Now I know why. As soon as I started reading, I felt uncomfortable. It's nonsense! You could spend DECADES, and I'm not joking, trying to understand and analyse this book. This is because it is UNINTELLIGIBLE.It is complete nonsense. In fact, it could even have been purposely designed as a waste of everyone's time. I think that people namecheck it because they are in awe of it because they don't understand it. I DO understand when my time is being wasted - and I also can see through charlatans. I have read many many spiritual books which have helped me enormously - Louise Hay is great, for example. But this book! Mouldy, verbose, unintelligible nonsense! I have always held in contempt those who prey on lesser minds by not explaining simple concepts in a simple way, those who use long, convoluted explanations. They enjoy seeing others puzzle over things they understand. The truly intelligent explain things in a way anyone can understand - this book does not. There are no miracles here, only difficulty and puzzlement. Save your precious time and money for something else written by somebody who REALLY cares about your spiritual progress.
