A Course in Miracles.. brief review

For most of the day I’ve been reading this book.
It’s the book I’ve had for over 10yrs but never read..
I spoke about it recently in the '1st day of the rest of my life' post
It's called; A course in Miracles
It speaks of pure love, overcoming fear and illusions, salvation, healing, and a whole lot more.
In many ways it’s a book to purify the soul, re-awaken the mind and elevate your consciousness to a higher state.
It really is as it says, a course in miracles, as it’s also a workbook for students.

It’s definitely challenging in places, possibly because of the deep rooted beliefs I hold ( which I may not always even be aware of) ... to hear they may not even be real.. shakes me a little.
It's well worth looking into.
I’m loving it.
It took me a while to get here, but I’m here now...
Anyway
I won’t attempt to provide you with any in depth insights just yet.. early days...but here are a few snippets

‘Nothing real can be threatened
Nothing unreal exists
Herein lies the peace of god'


'So what is a Miracle?'.. you may ask....

Here are a few descriptions as outlined in the book( there are about 50)

*Miracles represent freedom from fear. Atoning means undoing. The undoing of fear is an essential part of the atonement value of miracles

*Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense, everything that comes from love is a miracle.

*Miracles are everyone’s right. But purification is necessary first.

*Miracles are thoughts. Thoughts can represent the lower or bodily level of experience, or the higher or spiritual level of experience. One makes the physical, and the other creates the spiritual

*Miracles honour you because they are lovable. They dispel illusions about yourself and perceive new light in you. They thus atone for your errors by freeing you from your nightmares. By releasing your mind from the imprisonment of your illusions, they restore your sanity


Feel free to Google it if it sparks an interest
I'm quite enjoying my time off at the moment:)
