From the Introduction The goal of A Course in Miracles is to help you know yourself. 'This is a course on love, because it is about you,' it states. It offers a system of mind-training that helps you undo the blocks to love, conditioning, judgment, and fear, so that you can enjoy and participate fully in the miracle of existence. The Course encourages you to stop searching for the happiness, peace, and love you long for. It's because we believe that happiness is outside of us that we've made the world into a giant shopping mall. It's because we believe that peace is outside that wars are fought every day on this planet. It's because we are looking for love, instead of being the loving presence we truly are, that we live in a world where love is so hard to find. We can experience a holy shift in our life at any moment, and in a single instant. How do we do this? Miracles require no suffering, no sacrifice, no penance, no money, and no special effort. The key is simply 'a little willingness' to see what reality is like when you are not lost in fear, guilt, and thoughts of sins. Miracles are available to everyone who shows a little willingness. 'A miracle is now. It stands already here, in present grace,' says the Course. Therefore, in any holy instant, our weary egos can experience the grace and healing that is on offer from our soul, which is in Heaven and in a state of perfect oneness and wholeness.
