As I develop a new meditation circle called Manifesting Miracles, the little voice in my heart keeps repeating, not everyone knows what a Miracle is. Teach them.
The best definition comes from A Course in Miracles, a self-guided text on the very subject of miracles. It teaches that we are born into a beautiful, unbounded love, and that through living in this world, and by our perceptions of it, we learn fear. Through the practice of forgiveness, recognizing how we separate ourselves from others, and calling out our fear, we can return to love.
Every miracle is equal. Showing love to a stranger for insulting you, forgiving a past lover, or forgiving yourself for making a little everyday mistake – all of these choices are essential in our journey back to love. Each one of these instances is a miracle.
Whenever you find yourself choosing light over dark, be grateful to yourself. When you don’t make that choice, recognize it, and forgive yourself.
Above all, be on the lookout for miracles, and you will notice that they aren’t as rare as we all thought they were.
I choose to see again.
I choose the light inside of me, the light that never ends.
I choose to see this with love.
