We continue discussing the Principles of Miracles again this week. It is wonderful to go back and review these wonderful nuggets of wisdom again. Perhaps we all should review the Principles on a regular basis. Principle 41 tells us that wholeness is the perceptual content of miracles. What more could we ever want than wholeness? If we really allowed ourselves to shift into a state of conscious wholeness where we actually believe and know we are whole and lack nothing we really need, we would perceive, see, and know a different world. The world we think we see would transform before our very minds. The result is that we understand everything we see and experience differently. We would see through the Mind of God and understand through the Mind of God. That is a miracle!
Last week Jon Mundy started his newsletter with a beautiful passage from the Course. It is:
When you have learned how to decide with God, all decisions become as easy and as right as breathing. There is no effort, and you will be led as gently as if you were being carried down a quiet path in summer.
A Course in Miracles T-14.IV.6:1-2
Miracles shift our minds into this natural state of being. Deciding with God is allowing miracles to be in our awareness constantly. This is the habit we all desire to learn, or better yet, return to. The habit of deciding with God is as easy as breathing once we become reacquainted with it. Every Principle points toward this state of mind, this state of being. Miracles help us return to what comes naturally.
Yet in the world we see this doesn’t seem to be so. It seems to be impossible. But it’s not. Just release your attachment to all those thoughts of what everything means. Release especially the thoughts that seem to cause us angst as we dwell on them. Accepting the possibility that what we think we see might not be complete and that Spirit will show us a new perception as the turning point allows the awareness of miracles into our mind and life. What a changed world this can bring to our awareness.
Take a moment. Let an inner awareness of wholeness spring up within you. Principle 44 tells us that miracles are expressions of an inner awareness of the Christ within us and the acceptance of the wholeness that is our natural state of being. Once we stop trying so hard to make all this happen ourselves we will find that being whole and living through the Mind of God is as easy as breathing. It will be as easy as being led down a quiet garden path. We settle in the comfort of knowing who we really are. From this state of mind and being, all things are possible. Let it be so.
