What is a miracle?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our special theme says, \u201cEach lily of forgiveness offers all the world the silent miracle of love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others may not notice our miracles\u2014that is, others may not notice our individual shifts in perception. That\u2019s because each one sees through the filter of his\/her mind. If we tell them about our shifts, they may not believe us or they may quickly forget. And that is as it is.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why our special theme refers to the \u201csilent<\/em> miracle of love.\u201d It is a miracle that is free to go unnoticed by everyone except the one who is the medium of the miracle. The one who abides as the unaffected Self to the point that a shift occurs is aware of the miracle. He\/she is also aware of the universality of the miracle, although the miracle may have effects the he\/she will never be aware of.<\/p>\n

This means that we cannot look outside ourselves for evidence of a miracle or for understanding of what has occurred. The miracle is ours to behold as it has been revealed to us, while also knowing a miracle could never belong to us alone.<\/p>\n

I offer only miracles today, For I would have them returned to me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When we offer miracles, we do not offer corrections for the problems we see in the world. We offer miracles by living the Loving All Method. It is as simple as that. If something is to change in form as an effect of our miracles\u2014well, we leave that to the unpredictability of the creative principle. Outward effects are not our concern. Forgiveness is our only function.<\/p>\n

In the Bible, Jesus said, \u201cDo not judge, or you too will be judged.\u00a0For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.\u201d (Matthew 7:1, 2)<\/p>\n

He also said, \u201cGive, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38)<\/p>\n

These two scriptures point to the same universal law\u2014we receive whatever we give. As today\u2019s workbook lesson says:<\/p>\n

Father, a miracle reflects Your gifts to me, Your Son. And every one I give returns to me, reminding me the law of love is universal.<\/p>\n

As we live from the unaffected Self, we become unaffected. In this way, we transcend (or overcome) the world. This can be reflected in how we see a situation, and it can be reflected in the situation itself. A situation can change<\/em> as a result of our way of being. However, it is never for us to decide that a situation must change, because by deciding that is so, we have also decided that we are affected by that situation. By that very decision, we have judged instead of abiding as unaffected.<\/p>\n

The subtlety of this teaching is confusing to the mind. When this teaching is explained, people ask questions like, \u201cSo, if my husband is beating me, I just continue to let him do that?\u201d Or, \u201cIf someone is abusing an animal, do we just stand by and watch?\u201d<\/p>\n

As Chapter 12 of The Direct Means to Eternal Bliss<\/em><\/a> explains:<\/p>\n

The Loving All Method refers only to your emotions.\u00a0No changes in your external behavior are required.<\/p>\n

For example: if a vase falls and you would normally try and catch it, you will also try and catch the vase while you are practicing the Loving All Method.\u00a0You do not allow the vase to fall because you are loving the falling.<\/p>\n

If someone were to try to punch you in the face and if you would normally duck, you will also duck while practicing the Loving All Method.\u00a0The fact that you are loving the fact that someone is trying to punch you does not mean you will not duck.\u00a0You also love the fact that you are ducking to avoid being punched.<\/p>\n

The Loving All Method is about emotional acceptance.\u00a0The Loving All Method is not about changing your actions.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, when people ask about the abusive husband or the abused animal, they are usually not in those situations, they are only thinking about them. Thinking is trying to confuse a teaching that can be quite simple. If you forget about hypothetical examples and simply live in the moment, the simplicity of the teaching reveals itself. You will know what to do in each moment, and you will do it.<\/p>\n

Today, as you live the Loving All Method, let doing remain in the moment instead of in thinking. Let the day unfold naturally, including your doing, as you concentrate on loving, accepting or allowing, whichever is your highest possibility in the moment.<\/p>\n
