Miracles

If you walk outside and look around, looking deeply into what you see, you will see miracles---countless numbers of them.  Every minuscule piece of life on this earth is an unexplainable, unduplicatable miracle. And you are a miracle of miracles because, of all life on the planet, you alone can contemplate such a thing as a "miracle."
There is a certain epiphany that one experiences when he experiences a miracle--an inner response of awe and wonder and reverence. But because we live in the midst of miracles, contemplating life with a miraculous mind, seeing with miraculous eyes, we become desensitized to that inner feeling, and we walk around yawning, complaining, waiting for a better time. This is a manifestation of evil. Evil is overcome in the pursuit of ultimate Truth. Jesus said "I am the Truth", and He was impatient with humans who wanted to see a "sign" or "miracle" in order to have faith. He realized that they were themselves miracles who had been given life by His Father, God, the Creator, the conscious Core of the universe Who permeates the entire universe, which is His domain.
When we open ourselves to Christ and His teachings--His Living Word--among the countless other gifts we receive, we begin to be reawakened to this epiphany, this awe, wonder and reverence. We become like children who can be amazed at the ripples in the water created by a stone. We begin to celebrate and be thankful for Life, knowing where it has come from and its destination. We begin to Love people with a sincere Love that needs nothing in return, but rejoices in whatever good comes to the other from being loved in that way--the Way. We continue to suffer the tribulations of this world, but in a deeper, more permanent way, we transcend all suffering. We live in a spiritual realm that encompasses all life on the planet, all human experiences, in faith and hope and love, which has become for us an unshakable Foundation; like a depth in the ocean of our lives that cannot be disturbed, even by the hurricanes that pass over the surface. Our heart smiles secretly upon the universe as it is, at one with the universe that is our Father's domain. Now we have come out of darkness into the Light that overcomes all the various darknesses of the soul. Now we are truly free; and we feel free. This way-of-being is accessible to all who believe and continue in His Way.
