ACIM Workbook Lesson #159
“I give the miracles I have received.”

Through these writings, I've made a number of friends. One man in the Netherlands has brought me many insights and new ways of looking at Life. For the past few days, we have been discussing what people might term miracles -- specifically as pertaining to a deaf man who won Dancing With the Stars and a mostly-deaf woman who is an incredible musician, playing with orchestras and contemporary artists all over the world. We're pondering what exactly it is which enables these people to achieve a level of competence which could be thought of as impossible with hearing loss. Evelyn Glennie, a deaf percussionist, states that she hears with her whole body. She has given a Ted Talk on the art of truly listening, which is most enlightening. Is this miraculous or simply the way we are meant to be? It seems that extremities of condition always push us to reach past what we've thought of as limitations. I feel that the world is starting to realize this phenomenon and we are beginning to live in a new way. I thank the Internet for allowing us to hear of these happenings, and for helping us to connect with others of like mind the world over!

Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Sight, hearing, all the spiritual senses of man, are eternal. They cannot be lost. Their reality and immortality are in Spirit and understanding, not in matter, — hence their permanence.”
