While many of the ideas presented in A Course in Miracles can be somewhat difficult to swallow, the book text and its accompanying Workbook for Students offers a refreshing perspective that makes for inspirational reading.

As I read this book, I often find myself wishing that our great country’s leaders would do likewise and take the messages this book presents to heart. It seems our government is in a never-ending mode of attack, defend; defend, then attack some more. We assume the worst about our perceived enemies, projecting onto them our darkest and most evil attributes and intentions, then use this perception as the justification for our next attack. Our actions and policies are driven by our own irrational and unreal fears. The more we defend ourselves, the weaker we become.

While it might seem counterintuitive to the logic of many, our safety truly does lie in our defenselessness.

When it comes to miracles, you gotta’ believe!
