A World Full of Miracles Michael Roden

Vision is one of the great unheralded themes of A Course in Miracles. As a major theme, it serves to integrate all other themes, allowing us to step back and view the Course's teaching as a unified whole. Yet vision in the Course has rarely been the subject of extensive study. This book will help the Course student to better understand the Course as a whole by understanding the nature of vision, the benefits it brings, and how it is acquired. Vision is said to lead to an experience of Oneness and the certainty of spiritual knowledge. Vision is the way to happiness, according to the Course. It is the source of every miracle. And it leads us through happy dreams and the real world all the way to a present experience of Heaven. It is said to resolve every problem. Yet it is easy to acquire. It comes to us through our desire for it. As we learn about vision, our desire for it grows, and our eyes open to a new world full of beauty, joy, and miracles. Table of Contents
