Principles 1–5

Fundament 1: Itself

1. The first thing to remember about miracles is that there is no order of difficulty among them. One is not harder or bigger than another. They are all the same.

2. Miracles occur naturally as an expression of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense, everything that comes from love is a miracle. This explains the lack of order. All expressions of love are maximal. This is why the miracle in itself does not matter. The only thing that matters is the Source, and this is far beyond human evaluation.

3. All miracles mean Life, and God is the giver of Life. The miracle worker will be directed very specifically. Planning ahead has been taken as practical advice for lower order concerns, but the Universal Plan is in more masterful hands. Miracle workers will know all they need to know in real time. Make no attempts to plan ahead in this respect.

4. Miracles are habits and should be involuntary. They should not be under conscious control. Consciously selected miracles are an advanced technique. Attempts to choose when, where, and with whom to apply a miracle indicates a misunderstanding of the levels of reality. This is exactly what a miracle is meant to correct, and, as such, miracles should occur involuntarily until this foundational confusion is straightened out.

5. Miracles are natural. It is when they seem to not occur that something has gone wrong, yet it is only that one’s consciousness lacks awareness of the natural state.
