Miracles are part of an interlocking chain of forgiveness which, when completed, is the Atonement. Atonement works all the time and in all the dimensions of time (T-1.I.25:1-2). Forgiveness here refers to right seeing. It refers to the process of correction in our minds, whereby perception is aligned with reality – with Creation as createdContinue reading “The Twenty-Fifth Principle of A Course in Miracles”

Miracles enable you to heal the sick and raise the dead because you made sickness and death yourself, and can therefore abolish both.

Miracles are natural signs of forgiveness. Through miracles you accept God’s forgiveness by extending it to others (T-1.I.21:1-2).
