Miracles take many forms in this world of perception. Some may appear grander than others and some may appear very small or insignificant. Yet all miracles achieve the same thing – a change in thought and perception to a more correct thought or perception. And they are always guided by our Higher Holy Self or Spirit. The Course tells us many times there is no order of difficulty in miracles. This is very true as all miracles are equal in their basic function – the correction of our misperception. When we strip the particulars of our temporal condition from each miracle, they are all equal and move toward our recognition of our true Self and who we really are.
Each miracle functions in time, yet moves us out of time to eternity. As we journey in this world of perception, the reflections we accept into our minds bring eternity closer or farther. Eternity is reflected in our minds as we journey in this temporal world. Yet eternity is beyond all time. Reach out of time and touch it with the help of its reflection in you. You will surely turn from time to holiness as surely as the reflection of holiness calls all to lay aside guilt. Reflect the peace of Heaven here, and bring this world to Heaven. The reflection of truth draws everyone to truth who by entering into truth leave all reflections behind.
In Heaven reality is shared and not reflected. By sharing its reflection here [in this temporal world], its truth becomes the only perception We accept. And thus, remembrance of our Creator Source dawns on us, and we can no longer be satisfied with anything but our own reality. You on earth have no conception of limitlessness, for the world you seem to live in is a world of limits. In this world, it is not true that anything without order of difficulty can occur. The miracle, therefore, has a unique function, and is motivated by a unique Teacher Who brings the laws of another world to this one. The miracle is the one thing you can do that transcends order, being based not on differences but on equality. T-14.X.2.1-7
We determine what we allow to be reflected in the mirror of our mind and our consciousness. It is our choice. Left to our egoic thought system, we will see only the cloudy shadows of misperception behind the veil of separation we cling to. As we decide to and allow Spirit to guide the unveiling of the mirror of our mind, we begin to see reality reflected there. As reality and eternity call to us reflected there, we find we no longer need the mirror, turn around and find ourselves smack dab in the middle of Heaven. We see the world around us in a new light. We see with the peace and light in our mind the peace and light in each other and around us. This is the unique function of every miracle. They are all equal in this transcendence of the temporal world. Let the miracles of your perception carry you to the eternity of Heaven right now.
