Miracles are seen in light.
You have the ability to see everything clearly. It’s like being psychic, only better, and way more accurate. You have supernatural powers to see through every person, every situation, and to hear a Voice that guides and tells you what to do. It’s exactly like having x-ray vision.
I can hear what people are thinking as if they spoke it out loud. This ability naturally happened somewhere along the way as I practiced the workbook lessons.
Miracles are seen in light.
“It is important to remember that miracles and vision necessarily go together. This needs repeating, and frequent repeating. It is a central idea in your new thought system, and the perception it produces. The miracle is always there.”
THIS NEEDS REPEATING, AND FREQUENT REPEATING.
A Course in Miracles says that you have abilities that you currently do not use. X-ray vision is one of them. Communicating with your mind is another ability. Knowing all things is another.
One of the main reason I became so dedicated early on in my practice of A Course in Miracles is not because I wanted to be at peace or to be happy (which I perceived as kinda boring, and also I felt these things were not exactly miracles and could be accomplished by any human being, through human efforts) but that I wanted to witness miracles, move mountains, part the sea, raise the dead, heal the sick, and tap into supernatural powers.
I was chasing after the experience that I knew could only be given by God Himself. I wasn’t interested in more self-help ways to be happy, more loving, more peaceful. Nope. I had already achieved that end through Dale Carnegie’s book “How To Have Friends and Influence People” way back when I was 19 years old and in college. I already knew how to have lots of love in my life. It’s no big secret. Anybody can do that.
The big baffling secret was HOW TO KEEP love, peace, and happiness?
I knew how to get these things but I had no clue how to keep them. Peace, love and happiness were always slipping right out of my hands. I was always falling right back into the pit of depression and confusion.
The other big mysterious secret to me was healing the sick and raising the dead. Jesus says in the bible “Greater things will you do than I” and I was always curious about how to accomplish this. It must be true if he said it, right?? So when I got my hands on A Course in Miracles is was like a book of alchemy, which I knew (with all my heart and every cell in my body) were direct instructions that would work IF I APPLIED THEM.
“There is no order of difficulty in miracles. One is not ‘harder” or ‘bigger’ than another. They are all the same. All expressions of love are maximal.” - Chapter 1
A Course in Miracles is THE OPPOSITE of everything you learned in time and space. Lesson 91 is the complete opposite of the AA 12-step program in which Step One says you must declare that you are powerless.
But you are not powerless!!!
You are all powerful.
In the AA 12-step program (which, for the record, saved my life, but which I finally understood still kept me bound in time and space) says I must constantly remind myself that I am an addict so that I don’t slip back into alcoholism.
It says I must constantly remind myself that I have a incurable disease.
?????????????????????????
That doesn’t make any sense to me.
A Course in Miracles says “The past is over. Let it go.”
I am not an addict because I am not a body because I am the light of the world.
I am not weak, but strong.
I am not helpless, but all powerful.
I am not limited, but unlimited.
I am not doubtful, but certain.
I am not an illusion, but a reality.
I cannot see in darkness, but in light.
I LOVE IT!!
You must stand in the light. There is no other way. You can stay in your groups till the cows come home trying to figure out why you have problems or why you are the way you are, and you will never have understanding. Your darkness is not understandable, and while you are standing in it, trying to understand it, YOU ARE BLIND.
While you call yourself an addict, you are an addict.
While you call yourself the light of the world, you are the light of the world.
Thankfully, there is no middle ground. You are either a human being with problems OR you are Spirit standing in light.
You cannot see in the dark. You can only see in the light. And in the light, here’s the miracle: You have no problems.
