Lesson 159, I give the miracles I have received.
There is an interesting point in today’s workbook lesson. It says, “Receive [miracles] now by opening the storehouse of your mind where they are laid, and giving them away.” This means that miracles already exist in us.
How do we open the storehouse of our mind and access the miracles?
The lesson calls true vision “the miracle in which all miracles are born.” In other words, we open the storehouse of our mind by overlooking illusion and focusing on life-presence. Life presence is what we are. We look out from our felt sense of life only to seek to see it in all else.
Focus on life-presence in nature.
Focus on life-presence in people.
Focus on life-presence in yourself.
Let Inner Wisdom show you where and how to look. In order to do this successfully, you must give up the commentary, the judgment and the problem solving. “Be here now” is once again the most helpful advice in attuning to the greater guidance that comes from life itself. This guidance is always present. The knowing within is fully aligned with the flow of life. It is this flow of life that we recognize as life presence.
As always, the ends and the means are the same. To recognize life presence, you must give yourself over to it without reservation, without partial measures and in the full knowledge that you give that which you are seeking.
Be here now; love what is; be aware of awareness—these are all means of resting within the changeless while seemingly moving through the always changing river of life. To fail to seek this flow is to miss it—though the missing of it does not stop the flow.
When we focus on life-presence, we see and experience things differently, and so we also ‘be’ differently. Giving miracles is a natural outcome of true vision and the resulting beingness. Therefore, we don’t have to worry about how we will give miracles. All we have to do is practice true vision. Everything else will happen naturally. (That’s the miracle.)
