Summary: Tonight I have bought it for a friend - again
Comment: I have read Chopra, M. Williamson, Zukav, Vanzant, Gibrain, Walsh, Redfield, Gawain, it goes on. I have read the Bible, the Gita, and buddist works. I have read books on self help, psychology, visualization, self hypnosis, prayer, astral projection, remote viewing, life after death. I can go on. I have read and read and read. The Course in Miracles IS DIFFERENT. It blew me away. Why?
There is this intelligence beyond what I have ever experienced that is blatant in every page, in every paragraph. There is a total authority in its voice that is indisputable. There is not a wasted word. It is a completely consistent thought system. In summary, it does not read like material that comes from the mind of living man.
It is not a book for everyone. I have been working through it for the last 2 years and continue at a pace that seems suited to my progress. Some will fight it and some will hate it. But that is to be expected anytime we encounter pure truth and have dark spots in our psyche that the ego still wishes to cling to. I would say that for those that are meant to read it, they will know once they open the book.
Whatever you do, do not doubt the fact this work is 100% genuine. Good luck and may you find your peace.

Summary: Depends on where you're at . . . .
Comment: I'm not finished with this book because it is NOT the type of book, for me, that you can simply read and ingest in a few sittings. For spiritual growth and greater understanding of life, I love this book. It has an underlying truth and a mystical type of quality that will provide you with a concrete separation of the physical and spiritual (which ultimately are the same). Seeing it as such, I am not inclined to believe that the course is trying to tell me to ignore my perception of reality. In contrast, it asks us to recognize it.
As long as the course is used as a tool to living and not as a panacea for the myriad of physical and emotional traumas that we all experience, this book is more than worthwhile. To view the book as "the answer" won't work. It's the experience of life that calls upon the perception of our realities that carry with them illusions. I see this book very much as an experiential tool, not a psychological help book in the thinking sense.
That is why I give this 4 stars. For the person looking for a cerebral perspective on life, this probably won't be for you. For the person who is trying to find answers to the many pains and whoas in life, this may be for you if you can understand that the mystical quality of the spiritual enhances the physical life. To see the spiritual as separate from the physical is an illusion in and of itself. That is why I believe that some of the reviewers did not find this book helpful. It's really about no thought, or viewing thought as a part of the many tools humans have, but thought in and of itself is not enough.
Like or not, in my opinion, this is the direction of our evolution.

Summary: Good stuff
Comment: This book has served as a catalyst for a growing number enlightened writers, who have extracted the intense and sometimes impenetrable 'raw fodder' of wisdom contained in the book, and expressed it in a more manageable, commercial form. (i.e. the likes of Neale Donald Walsch, and Marriane Williamson). Due its style and intensity, it's not very accessible to the masses, but it sure serves its purpose. For me personally, it brings Christ back to Christianity.
