I keep hearing about A Course in Miracles through reading about Gabrielle Bernstein and talking with Karen Salmansohn on my blogtalkradio show and countless others, so I borrowed this book from a friend called, The Way of Mastery, which is a laymen’s version of the “Course” that has easy to understand principles and anecdotes, and paragraphs of totally useful information to remind us to take the path less followed, of forgiveness and understanding. 

It is a difficult thing to do when one feels wronged or poorly treated to keep up a smiling face and remain in any sort of relationship that proves to be problematic.  I choose to extricate myself but send along well wishes despite my parting words, which may or may not be perfectly chosen.  Sometimes you have to be heard, and say the very things that make you feel so uncomfortable just to honor yourself.  This book definitely does NOT PROMOTE that.  This book promotes being godly in all ways, which is the goal of most spiritual practice.  To love those who wrong you, and to be even more godlike in the presence of opposition. 

We all have a problem with this which is why these books exist, why we try to better ourselves, and try to understand that lower energy that happens as a result of bad choices.  This book serves as a great reminder of common sense philosophies but also illustrates ways in which we can all grow and become more peaceful as a result.
