In the Miracle Principles of A Course in Miracles,, Chapter One, Section One, Principle 7 says:

“Miracles are everyone’s right, but purification is necessary first.” (T-1.I.7)

We’re entitled to miracles. Every one of us – no matter what. But purification is necessary first.

Let’s breathe a sigh of relief that everyone is included, even us.

But wait a minute, what is that purification?
How do we do it?

It’s the forgiveness.

That word can sound heavy. It isn’t about being bad or being sinners who must clean up. We’re innocent. What’s true is that we have an attraction and an attachment to projecting our self-judgments onto others.

We think we’re not good enough, and neither is anybody else.
We think we deserve to be punished, and so does everyone else.
That’s the ego thought system.

It’s so liberating to let go of the grievances, the grudges, and the complaints – the blocks to Love.

Purification is simply letting go of all that, so Love can flow. The interpretation and the meaning we drag with us day after day are the splinters in the mind.

I pray, “Holy Spirit, lead me. I’m interested in the perfection and the Wholeness. I’m interested in that purification.”

ACIM Miracle Principle 3 tells us:
“Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love.” (T-1.I.3)

Unforgiveness blocks the flow of Love.

And ACIM Principle 6 says:
“Miracles are natural. When they do not occur something has gone wrong.” (T-1.I.6)

Put those together, and it becomes clear.

Love is what we are, so miracles are natural.

When miracles aren’t showing up in our life,
the question isn’t “What’s wrong with me?”
It’s “What am I holding onto?”

ALL forgiveness is releasing the blocks to Love and letting that Love flow.

A miracle, according to A Course in Miracles, is when we shift away from the ego identity and the ego thought system, in order to anchor into the Holy Spirit’s thought system. We let go of the blocks to Love and open our heart and mind. Then, naturally, the world shifts.

That’s the miracle. And forgiveness is how we open the door.

LATEST PODCAST EPISODE: Alan Cohen: A Glitch in the Matrix  In this episode, I’m talking with my dear friend Alan Cohen about his latest book, A Glitch in the Matrix. Borrowing from the movie, Alan calls the matrix the collective illusion built on separation, lack, and fear. A glitch is any moment that cracks it open. He says the way out is inner, and when we stop identifying with our personality, the matrix becomes our servant instead of our master. His closing message: “Your greatest contribution to a peaceful world is to be at peace.” Pull up a chair.
