My experience of the Course has been that the results have proven the words, just as Jesus says. I started studying the Course in 1981 if I remember right, or maybe 1982. The first thing I noticed is that it felt right even though I could not explain why. Actually, common sense would have me totally reject it because it was so strange to me. At that time there were not a lot of people doing the Course and so I couldn’t say that many others agreed that this was right. But I still did it because I still felt something, a stirring within, I think.
As I became immersed in it, especially as I tried to apply it to my life, do the lessons, I began to feel the resistance. I still believed it must be true, that seemed undeniable to me, but I had a hard time accepting it on a personal level. It took a long time for me to do the lessons all the way through. I kept bumping into my walls of resistance.
But even so, I was slowly beginning to heal and to feel that healing. Like a snowball rolling down hill, it started small but got bigger and picked up momentum, and that was because as I gave what willingness I had, I began to experience my life and my self differently. What I thought must be true was proven to me as true as I used the Course. Each proof motivated me to seek more.
Now I have no doubt whatsoever, that everything the Course says is true. More importantly, I have no doubt that I will accept it all and live it all. Even in the moments when it seems most unlikely, when my resistance seems strongest, I do not doubt. I feel frustration, but I don’t doubt. This is the path home, I want to go home, I can go home. This is what I know, and I know it even if I have not yet fully achieved it.
