A Course in Miracles Is A Sexy Read

A Course in Miracles, typically considered mystical scripture, can also be seen as a love story, a whodunnit, a thriller, a new genre mixing Fact and fiction, and an interactive read where the reader discovers she or he is the protagonist!

ACIM promotes naked honesty and constantly invites you to strip … your false identity.  It is, after all, an exposé of the ego.  How?

Well, at first, by forgiving everybody towards whom you’ve ever held a resentment or grievance.  The twist is that everybody turns out to be you.  Yep, it’s similar to the movie Fight Club — well worth watching if you’d like a better understanding of the ego and self-hatred.

The book cover lacks an author.  For some, it is obvious that the Course was written by none other than Jesus Christ.  Others dispute this vehemently.  Many don’t know and don’t care because deep immersion in A Course in Miracles reveals that although you seem to be in this world, you are certainly not of it — and the joy and freedom of this discovery make authorship inconsequential.  Then, WOW, what a discovery!  It turns out that you are the author.

Yes, it becomes obvious that you are the author of A Course in Miracles because it is simply the memory of God within you speaking through you to you of You.  You might need to read that sentence again :).

The evil villain turns out to be you.  The scrumptious lover turns out to be you.  The cripple; the hero; the traitor; the staunch defender; the coward; the victor — all you.  Jesus turns out to be you.  In fact, you are an extension of God Itself.

This God-Self is totally impersonal and yet the most intimate love relationship of all.  Plus, it’s never-ending bliss because as  pure, unborn Life, You can never die.  Stick with the Course and you’ll find out that at no single instant does the body exist at all.  So that pesky personal identity that’s been plaguing you is just an idea (you’re human) that you’ve attached to another idea (you’re in a body), neither of which are real.

Suspenseful and mind-boggling, isn’t it?  A Course in Miracles is over 1,200 pages, so you can settle into bed with this big, long book and have yourself a good time!  Adam and Eve were the beginning of sex and guilt, but the Course is the Source of Infinite Bliss.  You’ll never want it to end, and, luckily, Sinlessness never does.

But don’t take my word for it.  Read it for yourself.  After you get through the part about how you actually love crucifixion, and you’re truly terrified of redemption, then comes the really good stuff!
