Miracles are natural signs of forgiveness. Through miracles you accept God’s forgiveness by extending it to others (T-1.I.21:1-2). Again, the emphasis here is that miracles are natural rather than supernatural. They are not spectacles. They are shifts in our understanding of perception that make us and others happier.

A Course in Miracles Lesson 196

Miracles unify all minds who yet believe they are separate and personal in God Who created all minds as one. In essence, theContinue reading “The Nineteenth Principle of A Course in Miracles”
A Course in Miracles Lesson 195
Love is the way I walk in gratitude. In the world’s eyes, we are grateful when – comparing ourselves to others – we are thankful because we are not suffering the way they are, we have more than they have, et cetera.
