Miracles Are Our Birthright

The miracle isn’t always getting what it is you think you are praying for, a miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love.  Nothing changes. It is a shift in perception. Where you entertain anxiety, peace flows into your body, where you thought to worry, worry passes into grace for what is.

When I think about miracles in this way I am reminded of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey... and much of his “We have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heroes of all time have gone before us - the labyrinth is thoroughly known. We have only to follow the thread of the hero path, and where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a God; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence. And where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world.”

In praying for miracles it is part of the practice to release the attachment to how we think it will happen and enter the deepest river of our life keeping in mind some of god’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

There is power in love, there is power in truth, there is power in the spirit of love to transform every situation.

Lots of Love,
