Miracles and You!
Miracles are a real phenomena. Every tradition addresses the existence of miracles, but they all use different language. We label events as miracles when a desired outcome manifests in a dramatic fashion: We want to be healed from a terrible illness, or attain material wealth, or find our purpose.
Then when these events occur, we say, how miraculous! Someone has an intention or a desire or a thought, and then it happens. A miracle, then, is a very dramatic example of what happens when a person is able to tap into the spiritual domain and apply intention to manifest their destiny.
People who are not interested in spirituality attribute these kinds of events to luck. I personally believe that “luck”–at least the way we usually define it–has nothing to do with it.
What most people call luck is nothing more or less than the application of synchronicity to the fulfillment of our intentions. “Chance favors the prepared mind.” Opportunity + Preparedness = Good Luck.
It is entirely possible, through the lessons of synchrondestiny, to create such a state of mind that you will begin to see that there are opportune moments in life, and when you notice and take hold of them, they change everything. “Luck” is the word we in the modern world use to describe the miraculous.
Every coincidence is an opportunity for you to become the person the universe intended you to be.

add your comment »Right on....I can relate to each of your comments. I went to a famers market and came home with a Seth book; not a clue what it was about before purchasing. It was sychronestic that I was ready for it.
My faith is stronger than ever before and I do try very hard to notice the many miracles around me.

Another great source for a deeper understanding of causation on this level are two books channeled by Jane Roberts from Seth spirit. "The Nature of Personal Reality" and "Seth Speaks" are wonderfully inspiring works, constructed so they will speak directly to you at whatever level you're on, Seth immediately starts teaching you personally from the inner plains appearing both in the dream and random breakthroughs during normal daily activities. The books contain exercises in experiments in consciousness. This is the material I constantly return to over the years since I discovered it and it always speaks to me at a totally different level; it's always like I'm reading it for the first time both in material and excitement. It's the first material that described quantum reality, how consciousness energy passes through infinitesimally small black holes in our bodies and beyond through multidimensional realities and dimensions of time and space, alternate realities that are worlds where we also belong and operate.Seth says that sometimes our nightmares can be perceived as hauntings, frighting and astonishing the people who live there. Perhaps you all will enjoy this material as much as I do, especially since ways are constantly being offered to experiment and prove the material for yourselves. In twenty years teaching magic and spell-craft they were my only required reading for my students.Adventures in magic proved by result; the pudding made by your magic is sweetest to eat.

Miracles do happen, they are real. "Luck" is a word that simply does not fit in my vocabulary. According to Scripture, and I believe it, "God rains on the just, as well as the unjust". However, believers are given promises that unbelievers do not have, all this is in the Scriptures. God has purpose for all things, as a matter of fact, His Word declares that in the last days He would pour out of His Spirit upon all flesh. It is my conviction that we are on the verge of seeing marvelous things in more abundance happen through unlikely people. Just the other day in prayer, I spoke of my weariness with putting my garbage on the curb each monday morning for pick-up. When Monday came around, I opened my door, the container was on the curb, I did not place it there. My neighbor of 19yrs. who never offered to do anything for me before said when he took the newspaper out of his box, he noticed my container had not been rolled out, so he rolled it out for me. In 19yrs. when the container had not been rolled out before, he never bothered. but this time he came over and rolled it out. I realize there are those who will read this, and won't believe it. But, that's ok, because belief, or unbelief does not make the truth be a lie.

"A miracle, then, is a very dramatic example of what happens when a person is able to tap into the spiritual domain and apply intention to manifest their destiny." Deepak's statement appears to say that any person can cause a miracle to occur in their life. I believe he is correct if God has a purpose in granting the miracle. In the Bible lots of miracles occur to people who are not intending nor expecting them.
Deepak is totally correct that the miracle comes from the spiritual/God domain, not the earthly/human domain.
