Those who gave this a low rating don't "get it"

I've read a few reviews on this book. I used to get upset at hardcore intellecutal types who use a fancy vocabulary just to prove to others how "intelligent" they are. Intelligence is a curse to those who claim to know everything and a gift to those who know they know very little. This book is not the Bible it's not the Koran it's a spiritual book with valuable lessons. Yes it is tedious and complicating. If it was simple it wouldn't be worth the read. The problem is people are either very religious and call it blasphemous or are hardcore science types who need everything proven to them in a sterile laboratory. Life is complex and so are people. This is not the answer to all your problems BUT if you "get it" you'll learn from it. Leave those who hate this book to continue living in fear of change. I don't have all the answers, no one does. Your truth is not my truth. If love and compassion scare you don't read this book. If you get uncomfortable looking in the mirror because you feel lost, don't read this book. God is not a man on a chair with a beard in my opinion. God is everything, life, energy, thought. You control your own life. It saddens me to see that when things go right arroagant people pound their chest with pride but when things go wrong God is "punishing" them. This book is not for the weak of spirit. If you have an open mind, and you have a heart you'll enjoy this book. If your brain is so big that your ego and pride blind you, don't read this book. There are 2 types of intelligent people; those who keep an open mind and UNDERSTAND that they will NEVER have all the answers but try to find peace in life and then there are those who base their identity on their iq scores. You are not you're thoughts, you are not your car, you are not you're phd degree on that wall, you just...are.

Twenty Years this November 2007

Come November 2007 that's how long I've been a student - and sometimes teacher - of A Course In Miracles (ACIM). The Course found its way into my hands when I needed it the most. I was in a lot of pain, both physically and mentally. I was 27 years old and had only left the world of fundamentalist Christianity 10 years earlier. The wounds from that had never properly healed yet I still longed for the love of Jesus, whom I had grown up believing was my constant companion. But I knew that I couldn't go back to the church I grew up in. I couldn't believe that a Loving Father God would even invent someplace like hell for His wayward children.

When I first started reading The Course, it touched me in such a profound way. It has a quiet authority. I would read page after page, sometimes tears streaming, healing the beliefs I had about God and about my own life. That first read-through that winter was the most amazing experience. It forever changed the way I understood everything in my life. The Course has a way of opening up places in the soul that have been shut off for a long time - it brings light to the dark corners and closets in our minds.

Since beginning this journey I cannot say that my life would appear to anyone else to be more or less fortunate. I've had my share of sorrows and problems. But, my perception of them has changed completely. My perception of other people and how they affect me has changed.

The Course is not the basis for a new religion and it certainly is not for everybody. It does seem to have a special ministry to those of us who have been injured by the parts of Christianity which are unloving. Whether you are from a fundamentalist church or one of the more educated mainstream denominations all of the current versions of Christianity have major problems which need healing. If you are in pain and willing to listen to another way of thinking about things, you may find much comfort and joy in this publication.

God's Truth does not need us to defend it to keep it true, so if you are worried that this book might mislead you why don't you ask God what He wants you to do -- and truly listen for that still, small voice inside your mind.

I am confident that I am part of a great loving family and that every person on this earth is my sister or brother, that forgiveness is the most beneficial way I can use my time and that I choose how I see every part of my life, including the so-called bad parts, which are nothing more than a call to heal and a means of letting go of old pain and hurt. But these are just words. The Course has a way of sinking down into your mind and rearranging all of the furniture. It heals at a very deep level.

Yes, I can still be mean spirited and unloving more times than I'd like to admit but I think that my inner-jerk is lessening over time and my inner-Christ ascending.

The book that is saving my life!

I thought I had lost my copy of this book so purchased another. It's a book with a message for everyone who has ever felt alone, trapped in their "stuff" or powerless to get beyond the feeling of being separated. I can't recommend it enough.

Immaculate Word reaching us from out of the world

Thank God!

The world of pain is unravelling. The promised real world of peace and joy and unity that takes its place will herald our return to Heaven. Not one person excluded. The second coming is happening now through the awakening of His children to their oneness.

Read this book and join in awakening to oneness. As you awaken, others will recognize something very familiar and begin to remember the truth along with you. This is a mind-transforming, training curriculum that is AN answer to humanity's long yearning for peace and for reunion with God. God is love and only love. And we are still perfect as He created us. We just need a lot of help remembering this! Help has reached us now.

"The holiest of all the spots on earth is where an ancient hatred has become a present love."
