Questions for David

Hello David!

I have a few questions for you that are on my mind...

1) ACIM says as a Miracle Principle that "Miracles should not be
used as spectacles to induce belief"... If this is true, then how
would you define Jesus' miracles such as feeding the multitudes,
raising the dead, etc?

2) Wayne Dyer really speaks to my soul! I see him and ACIM in
perfect alignment with their teachings. Do you see the same
consistency in teachings between ACIM and Ernest Holmes? And ACIM
and The Unity Church?

Thank you as always for your wonderful help in poking holes
(miracles) in my clouds that are blocking the Sun. I also would
like to share with you a verse I came up with:

DON'T SEE THE SUN SHINING, BE THE SUN SHINING!

In Love

Beloved One,

Thanks for sharing your questions. Miracles are always only for the
mind of the perceiver or dreamer (mind is one) and what seems to
occur in form is merely symbolic. Miracles are for the mind that
has the ears to hear, so to speak, or the willingness and readiness
to behold. Seeming changes in form reflect the shift in mind of the
miracle-minded, and though some of these changes seem to
transcend "known physical laws," in Reality there are no "known
physical laws." The Law of Love (Spirit) is the only Reality.
Feeding the multitudes and raising the dead were symbols of the
Divine Law of Love Which has no limit or lack. It is truly the
beattitudes or state of mind that demonstrates the miracle has
come. It is this state of mind in which consistency is possible and
this is a characteristic of Awakening. "Consistent form" is a
contradiction in terms, although behavior can seem to become
more "stable" for the miracle-minded. The easy way to remember that
miracles are not intended to be used as spectacles to induce belief
is to remember that miracles are the means of Awakening for a mind
that already "believes" yet is also willing to go beyond belief
and "Be Still and Know That I Am."

The teachings you mention are all very helpful stepping stones in
Awakening to Oneness. The Holy Spirit will Guide you to discern the
true from the false in all regards, and the deeper you seem to go
you will seem to transcend all linear concepts and come to an
experience that will end all doubting. The teachings you mention
have Oneness as their main focus, yet there are subtleties of ego
concepts that are transcended completely in Enlightenment. Your
inner work with the Holy Spirit will instruct you on your inward
movement and Help you lay aside every linear (past-future) concept
(such as balance and process and growth and personality). You are
moving steadily inward to the experience of Atonement, Christ, and
God's Love.

Thanks for your devotion to Truth
