' Miracles '...

Miracles honor you because you are lovable.

They dispel illusions about yourself
and perceive the light in you.

They thus atone for your errors
by freeing you from your nightmares.

By releasing your mind
from the imprisonment of your illusions,
they restore your sanity.


A major contribution of miracles
is their strength in releasing you
from your false sense of isolation,
deprivation and lack.


Miracles arise from a miraculous state of mind,
or a state of miracle-readiness.

The miracle is a learning device
that lessens the need for time.

It establishes an out-of-pattern time interval
not under the usual laws of time.

In this sense it is timeless.


The miracle makes no distinction
among degrees of misperception.

It is a device for perception correction,
effective quite apart from either the degree
or the direction of the error.

A Course in Miracles.
