A Course in Miracles . Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition.
This is a very rich passage and it is quoted in its entirety because to deconstruct it seems to dilute its message.There are several points being made. First, we all can be miracle workers. All we need to do is decide to refocus from the world of the ego to the world of Spirit.. Second, the power to do miracles comes from giving up fear that anything in the world of the ego can hurt what we really are. Third, when we experience fear it is because we have given value to wrong things. When we value the right things we experience peace. Fourth, to deny the value of wrong things of the ego is the proper use of denial because denial is not being used to hide anything real but to allow the awareness of Unconditional love to arise.
In Alcoholics Anonymous it is suggested, in step one, that we admit we are powerless over the things of the ego and in step three that we make a decision to turn our willfulness over to our Higher power or as they say in A Course In Miracles to work a miracle.
In Unitarian Universalism we join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning which takes us to the world of Spirit, unconditional love, from the world ot the ego which is conditional love.
Today, we can recognize and acknowledge that we can work miracles by refocusing from the things of the ego to the things of Spirit, from conditional love to unconditional love. Begin with yourself and move outward from there.
