What is a Miracle?

If an event occurs outside the domain of explanation or expected linear causality paradigm, and the Newtonian, it is termed a miracle.   It is an eventuality that is brought into actuality by removal of the impediments of negativity.  This may involve relinquishment of limiting belief systems, such as “It’s impossible,” or “It is not deserved” or other ego viewpoints.  For those who have reached higher levels of consciousness, the miraculous is not only commonplace, it is the natural course of events and becomes continuous.  The miraculous comes out of creation and not causality.

The Willingness to Let Go of Negative Feelings

When we are operating on the level of acceptance, enjoyment, warmth, gentleness, softness, trustingness, inner truth, and faith, the emotional purposes to which the other person responds are those of love, enjoyment, pleasure, harmony, peacefulness, understanding, and sharing.  Their reaction to us will be one of acceptance, satisfaction, feeling “in tune,” feeling understood, and joy.  They will automatically return our love.  it is rather obvious that these reciprocal feelings bring about success in whatever the venture may be with the other person, whether it is vocational, personal or a simple everyday business interaction.

What is the most serviceable presumptive view of the world…

Q. What is the most serviceable presumptive view of the world for a spiritual student/devotee/seeker?

A. Presume that the world’s actual purpose is perfect and fully known only by God.  See it as neutral overall but with the benefit that it provides optimal opportunity for spiritual growth and the evolution of consciousness.  It is a school for enlightenment and the revelation of Divinity whereby consciousness/awareness reawakes to its Source.  Thus, to pursue enlightenment in and of itself serves the world and God.

The Mechanism of Letting Go

Q: How can surrendering be more constant?
 
The secret to using this mechanism more often and more consistently is, first of all the wish to do so.  That is Step #1.  You have to want to be free of the feeling more than you want to keep it.  Sometimes it is just a matter of remembering, and you can use some kind of a cue card to remind you.
Another way is to establish a routine.  It is very good to start the day by surrendering your thoughts and feelings about your expectations, to picture the way you would like it to go, and to let go of all negative thoughts that would interfere with the day going in that way.  Then, at the end of the day, sit down and surrender anything that came up during the course of the day that you overlooked or didn’t have time to pay attention to.  This is called “cleaning up,” and most people find that they sleep better.

Contemplation Practices

Contemplation is continuous.  It’s like you’re constantly paying attention to one thing.  Let’s say that your assignment for the day is to become aware of the intrinsic perfection and beauty of all that exists, the holiness and the sacredness of all of creation  Wow. That’ll keep you busy for the next 20, 30 years! But in the orientation, you say, “Dear God, I’m trying to see the perfection and beauty of all of existence and I ask for thy blessing.”  There’s supplication to God to help you on this trip and then you’ve stated your intention.  Your intention is to go beyond the linear, beyond perception, beyond your thoughts, opinions, and all of that narcissistic stuff about the world, and see the world s it exists  You’re going past differentiation between perception and essence.

What you’re really asking in meditation and contemplation is to go beyond duality, to stop interpreting perception as reality.  Instead, to sense the essence of things, to sense the exquisite.  For instance, this morning I walked around and it was still dark, and suddenly in the darkness, I heard this loud purr.  And that was my white kitty, picking up the energy of that which I am.  When I pick up his energy, the interaction of those two energies sends us both into a state of bliss, happiness, contentment, ad love, with the joyful presence of God.
