This innocuous book came to my interest in 2005 and it has passed via my hands several occasions because. I had no inclination to peruse its contents for I had ceased to believe in miracles. In 2005, I was cursing God for abandoning me. I was working with all my power to stave off the hell I descended into 15 years earlier by marrying a man as un-Godly as anyone could possibly be.

In 2007, while packing some books as donations for any book fair, my hand when once again fell on "A Course in Miracles". By this time, I had secured a divorce from my husband but was still coping with the fallout. As I grasped the book, I became pretty thoughtful and calm. What was it about this book that invoked feelings I hadn't knowledgeable within a pretty extended time? My hand clung towards the book refusing to put it down. Realizing that this was a sign that I had much better take a closer look, I produced a cup of tea and sat in my favorite reading chair. With great curiosity, I focused on the blue hardcover and read "A Course in Miracles, a foundation for inner peace." Wow. That was a pretty bold statement but okay, I decided to bite. Taking a deep breath, I pondered probably the most apparent question: What's the foundation for inner peace? This book immediately opened an old wound and it had superior possess the answer to healing.

"A Course in Miracles" is really that, a course. Written in 3 components, this book is just not to be taken lightly and cannot be study in a week or perhaps a month. There is text, a workbook for students in addition to a manual for teachers. I had the sudden urge to fling the book across the space because I was deeply and profoundly afraid. I instinctively understood that after I started reading this book, I was going to possess to adjust and was I ready for the journey ahead?

My favourite movie is "The Matrix". The principle character Neo is searching for the answer towards the matrix. He understands the matrix exists but he does not know what it really is. The man using the answer, Morpheus, contacts Neo and offers the chance for truth by giving Neo a choice in between taking a blue pill or possibly a red pill. Take the blue pill and stay ignorant or take the red pill and come across the answer for the matrix. Ahead of he reaches for his pill of choice, Morpheus cautions Neo that need to he pick the red pill, he can in no way go back towards the life he had been living.
