OrEd-T-1.1-Principles of Miracles.1-20
1. There is no difference in difficulty in miracles. One is not "bigger" nor "harder" than another. All expressions of love are total. They are all the same.
2. Miracles of themselves do not matter. Their Source is all that matters, and It is far beyond human evaluation.
3. Miracles happen naturally as expressions of love. The miracle is the love that inspires them. Everything that comes from love is a miracle.
4. God is the Giver of life. All miracles support life. His Voice will specifically direct me. I will be told all I need to know.
5. Miracles are habits and should be involuntary. They should not be under conscious control. Consciously selected miracles can be misguided.
6. Miracles are natural. When they do not happen something has gone wrong.
7. Miracles are everyone's right, but it is necessary to first purify the mind.
8. Miracles are a form of healing. They are performed by those who temporarily have more for those who temporarily have less, and supply what is lacking.
9. Miracles are an exchange which reverses the physical laws. They bring more love miraculously to both giver and receiver, as do all loving expressions.
10. The use of miracles as spectacles to induce belief is wrong, and is a misunderstanding of their purpose. They are to be used for and by believers.
11. Prayer is the medium of miracles. Prayer is the natural communication of the created with the Creator. Through prayer, love is received, and through miracles, love is expressed.
12. Miracles are thoughts. Thoughts can be about lower or higher reality. This is the main difference between intellectualizing and thinking. The intellect makes the physical, and thinking creates the spiritual. Then, we believe in what we make or create.
13. Miracles are both beginnings and endings, supporting rebirth, which seems to go back, but really goes forward, changing time. In the present, miracles undo the past, and release the future.
14. Miracles show us the truth. They are believable because they come from belief. Without belief they become magic, which is mindless and harmful, and the uncreative use of mind.
15. Every day can be devoted to miracles. Time can be used to help man learn to use time wisely. Time is a teaching tool, and a means to a goal. Time will be finished when it no longer helps learning.
16. Miracles are teaching tools to show that giving is more blessed than receiving. They give strength to the giver and the receiver alike.
17. Miracles go beyond the body. They are shifts into Spirit, away from lower-order reality. That is how they heal.
18. A miracle is a service. It is the greatest service one individual can do for another. It is a way of loving my neighbor as myself. The doer sees his own worth, and his neighbor's worth, at the same time.
19. Miracles depend on co-operation. Miracles make minds one in God. The Sonship is the total of all God's creation. Miracles do not rest on the laws of time, but on the laws of eternity.
20. Spirit is the altar of truth, not the body. Miracles awaken the awareness of this truth, and lead to the healing power of the miracle.
