A Course in Miracles was given initially to two people who had asked from the depth of their being although they were unaware of it at the time to be shown a way to perceive differently. A wise teacher first learns the language of the student. And the two that asked the question carried an orientation in which their primary mechanism for experience was through the level of the mind or intellect. Therefore, the teaching tool needed to be conveyed in a way that could be acceptable to them as students.
The essential message that I sought to bring forth through that teaching device is equally applicable to anyone who may be attracted to pursuing the study of it. And yet, the Course does not seek to answer every question that a teacher of God will, indeed, come to ask. It is designed only to re-establish the mind at peace, and to cultivate within that mind the willingness to ask of what I’ve called the Comforter, or the Holy Spirit, for guidance, rather than remaining attached to its own devices for decision making.
Those that would assert that viewing the Course in Miracles as a complete teaching tool in itself, if they take this to mean that there is nothing further to explore, nothing further to deepen and become, are inaccurate.
Never let anyone tell you that A Course in Miracles is purely a rational spirituality. There is much mystery in it, much of poetry, much of mysticism.
