The Course's message is universal, but there are very few who are ready and willing to embrace fully its radical teachings on the nature of the world and on forgiveness, a process that asks that we exclude no one from its kindly vision. Nevertheless, this should not discourage us from making that attempt, if we are drawn to the Course as our spiritual path. The Course, although uncompromising in its metaphysical assertions, nevertheless offers a gentle path of undoing for all our mistaken beliefs about the nature of reality and of ourselves, leading us gradually toward awakening from our self-generated nightmare of pain and loss and grief. We are supported without judgment in moving along at whatever pace we choose. In this program, Kenneth explores the challenges posed by this teaching, addressed to the mind and not to the self living in the world that we believe we are, making it a path for the few, if any, who choose to listen. It is a path that calls us to apply its principles to all in our daily lives, making no exceptions, and so, in that sense, it is a book for all.
