A major contribution of miracles is their strength in releasing you from your false sense of isolation, deprivation and lack (T-1.I.42:1). The human experience includes loneliness and frustration. We often feel deprived of love or companionship. Hardships abound – people go without food, are subjected to violence, suffer and die. We all know this; weContinue reading “The Forty-Second Principle of A Course in Miracles”

The Forty-First Principle of A Course in Miracles
Wholeness is the perceptual content of miracles. They thus correct, or atone for, the faulty perception of lack (T-1.I.41:1-2). One of the hallmarks of separation is a sense of lack, and a corresponding sense of scarcity. There always seems to be something missing – some person or thing, some feeling or idea – that wouldContinue reading “The Forty-First Principle of A Course in Miracles”

The miracle acknowledges everyone as your brother and mine. It is a way of perceiving the universal mark of God (T-1.I.40:1-2).

This creates a senseContinue reading “The Thirtieth Principle of A Course in Miracles”
The Twenty-Ninth Principle of A Course in Miracles
Miracles praise God through you. They praise Him by honoring His creations, affirming their perfection. They heal because they deny body-identification and affirm spirit-identification (T-1.I.29:1-3). Yet the miracle does not merely transform us as individuals; it does not induce forms of healing that reinforce the experience of separation under a guise of healing. Their capacityContinue reading “The Twenty-Ninth Principle of A Course in Miracles”
The Twenty-Eighth Principle of A Course in Miracles
Miracles are a way of earning release from fear. Revelation induces a state in which fear has already been abolished. Miracles are thus a means and revelation is an end (T-1.I.28:1-3). Use of the word “earning” here is distracting – it implies contingency. If I do this, then God will do that. And God doesContinue reading “The Twenty-Eighth Principle of A Course in Miracles”
