Principles 31–35

Fundament 7: Lelity

  1. Christ inspires all miracles, which are really corrections. They intercede for your holiness, and make your perceptions holy. By placing you beyond the physical laws, they raise you into the sphere of celestial order. In this order, you are perfect. The Soul never loses its communion with God. Only the mind needs Atonement. The miracle adjusts the mind into the Atonement by placing it in the service of the Spirit. This establishes the proper function of the mind, and corrects its errors.

  2. Miracles honor all because all are lovable. They dispel illusions, and allowing you to perceive the light in all. They thus atone for errors by freeing you from illusions. They release you from a prison in which you have imprisoned yourself, and by freeing your mind from illusions, they restore your sanity. The mind can be possessed by illusions, but Spirit is eternally free. If a mind perceives without love it perceives an empty shell, and is unaware of the Spirit within it. Yet the Atonement restores the Spirit to its proper place, and the mind that serves the Spirit is invulnerable.

  3. Miracles restore the mind to its fullness. By atoning for lack, they establish perfect protection. The strength of the Soul leaves no room for intrusions. The forgiven are filled with the Soul, and they forgive in return. It is the duty of the released to release in turn.

    The forgiven are the means of Atonement. Those released by Christ must join in releasing for this is the Plan of the Atonement. Miracles are the way in which minds which serve the Spirit unite with Christ for the salvation, or release, of all God's Creations.

  4. Miracles are expressions of love, but it does not follow that they will always have observable effects. Christ is the only one who can perform miracles indiscriminately because Christ is the Atonement. You will seem to have a role in the Atonement, which will be dictated to you. Ask which miracles you should perform. This spares you exhaustion because you will act under direct communication.

  5. Miracles are examples of right thinking. Reality contact at all levels becomes strong and accurate. As a result, all aspects of the doer's perceptions are aligned with truth.
