Miracles Everywhere

ACIM Workbook Lesson #345
"I offer only miracles today,
For I would have them be returned to me."

"Do you think we live in a police state?" These were the opening words of a phone call. Yes, of course, was my response. These are the types of conversations I  generally walk away from, but since he had just had this realization and was upset, I stayed with him on the subject. While I did express more strong opinions than I generally am willing to admit I have, the conversation was, for the most part, a cry for him to return to Love. I see our current mortal, mental state as a reflection of the fear we harbor; a fear which is fed by most everything in daily life. I talked to him of tipping points, and mass consciousness, and our true consciousness as an expression of God. We could  go on and on about the material conditions, causes, and solutions, but to get to the heart of it all takes spiritual sense, which cannot be gleaned from intellectual exercises. And that's where I see the miracle: the revelation which reveals the omnipresence of divine Mind in every situation, no matter how dire physical sense tells us it is.

Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“The great miracle, to human sense, is divine Love, and the grand necessity of existence is to gain the true idea of what constitutes the kingdom of heaven in man.”
