Most people have strong religious beliefs (or a belief in atheism); taught to them when their minds were vulnerable in early childhood, when their conscious mind was very close to the surface of their subconscious mind, and these beliefs (now locked in their subconscious mind), differ from some of the logical explanations found in “A COURSE IN MIRACLES” (Abbreviated “ACIM” or simply “The Course”), and consequently these people are very resistant to any contrary ideas as they become adults.
Most of us will freely admit we do not understand what God is. The Course tells us that we are One with God (ACIM. W-124). That being the case, what are the chances that anyone understands themselves? The Course tells us who we are and what we have in common with God. People who are still stuck in their childhood beliefs will have a difficult time understanding the Course, and consequently, will have a difficult time accepting my book which is one of the few books (about the Course) that is limited to a factual synopsis of the Course. A person who gives my book a 1-Star rating, might be giving the Course a 1-star rating, because my book accurately describes the Course. My book does not water down the message of the Course, nor does it ignore sections of the Course, to make it more salable.
“You are at home in God, dreaming of exile but perfectly capable of awakening to reality. (ACIM, T-10.I.2:1)
