This innocuous book came to my interest in 2005 and it has passed via my hands quite a few instances given that. I had no inclination to peruse its contents for I had ceased to think in miracles. In 2005, I was cursing God for abandoning me. I was applying all my energy to stave off the hell I descended into 15 years earlier by marrying a man as un-Godly as everyone may be.

In 2007, when packing some books as donations to get a book fair, my hand after once again fell on "A Course in Miracles". By this time, I had secured a divorce from my husband but was still dealing with the fallout. As I grasped the book, I became quite thoughtful and calm. What was it about this book that invoked feelings I hadn't skilled in a pretty long time? My hand clung towards the book refusing to put it down. Realizing that this was a sign that I had improved take a closer look, I created a cup of tea and sat in my preferred reading chair. With wonderful curiosity, I focused on the blue hardcover and study "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 essentially the most obvious question: What is the foundation for inner peace? This book instantly opened an old wound and it had much better have the answer to healing.

"A Course in Miracles" is really that, a course. Written in 3 components, this book will not be to be taken lightly and can't be read in a week or perhaps a month. There is text, a workbook for students along with a manual for teachers. I had the sudden urge to fling the book across the space simply because I was deeply and profoundly afraid. I instinctively understood that as soon as I started reading this book, I was going to have to adjust and was I ready for the journey ahead?

My preferred film is "The Matrix". The primary character Neo is looking for the answer for the matrix. He understands the matrix exists but he does not know what it can be. The man with the answer, Morpheus, contacts Neo and presents the opportunity for truth by giving Neo a decision amongst taking a blue pill or maybe a red pill. Take the blue pill and remain ignorant or take the red pill and come across the answer for the matrix. Ahead of he reaches for his pill of decision, Morpheus cautions Neo that really should he pick the red pill, he can never go back towards the life he had been living.
