SPECIAL PRINCIPLES FOR MIRACLE WORKERS



  1. The miracle abolishes the need for lower-order concerns. Since
    it is an out-of-pattern time interval, the ordinary considerations
    of time and space do not apply.When YOUperform a miracle, I
    will arrange both time and space to adjust to it.

  2. Clear distinction between what HAS BEENcreated and what IS
    BEINGcreated is essential.ALLforms of correction (or healing)
    rest on this FUNDAMENTALcorrection in level perception.

  3. Another way of stating the above point is; – Never confuse right
    with wrong-mindedness. Responding to ANY form of
    miscreation with anything EXCEPT A DESIRE TO HEAL(or a
    miracle) is an expression of this confusion.

  4. The miracle is always a DENIALof this error and an affirmation
    of the truth. Only right-mindedness CANcreate in a way that has
    any real effect. Pragmatically, what has no real effect has no real
    existence. Its effect, then, is emptiness. Being without substantial
    content, it lends itself to projection in the improper sense.

  5. The level-adjustment power of the miracle induces the right
    perception for healing. Until this has occurred healing cannot
    be understood. Forgiveness is an empty gesture unless it entails
    correction. Without this, it is essentially judgemental rather
    than healing.

  6. Miraculous forgiveness is ONLYcorrection. It has NOelement
    of judgement at all. “Father forgive them for they know not
    what they do” in no way evaluates WHATthey do. It is strictly
    limited to an appeal to God to heal their minds. There is no
    reference to the outcome of their misthought.THATdoes not
    matter.

  7. The Biblical injunction “Be of one mind” is the statement for
    revelation-readiness. My OW N injunction “Do this in
    remembrance of me” is the request for cooperation from
    miracle-workers. It should be noted that the two statements are
    not in the same order of reality. The latter involves a time
    awareness, since to remember implies recalling the past in the
