A Course In Miracles by Helen Schucman 16-30

From the Book " A Course in Miracles" by Helen Schucman.   Although, born into a Jewish Parents, Helen was an open minded lady about many things.   Helen Schucman worked as a Professor for many years at Columbia University. She was a very Spiritual woman who wrote this wonderful book as a result of her communications with Jesus, over several years of her life.  (Principles of Miracles 1 to 30 are in the last two blogs)


16.  Miracles are teaching devices for demonstrating, it is as blessed to give as to receive.  They simultaneously increase the strength of the giver and supply strength to the receiver.

17.  Miracles transcend the body.  They are sudden shifts into invisibility, away from the bodily level.  That is why they heal.

18.  A miracle is a service.  It is the maximal service you can render to another.  It is a way of loving your neighbor as yourself.  You recognize your own and your neighbor's worth simultaneously.

19.  Miracles make minds one in God.  They depend on cooperation because the Sonship is the sum of all that God created.  Miracles therefore reflect the laws of eternity, not of time.

20.  Miracles reawaken the awareness that the spirit, not the body, is the altar of truth.  This is the recognition that leads to the healing power of the miracle.

21.  Miracles are natural signs of forgiveness.  Through miracles you accept God's forgiveness by extending it to others.

22.  Miracles are associated with fear only because of the belief that darkness can hide.  You believe that what your physical eyes cannot see does not exist. This leads to a denial of spiritual sight.

23.  Miracles rearrange perception and place all levels in true perspective.  This is healing because sickness comes from confusing the levels.

24.  Miracles enable you to heal the sick and raise the dead because you made sickness and death yourself, and therefore abolish both.  You are a miracle, capable of creating in the likeness of your Creator.  Everything else is your own nightmare, and does not exist.  Only the creations of light are real.

25.  Miracles are part of an interlocking chain of forgiveness which, when completed, is the Atonement.  Atonement works all the time and in all the dimensions of time.

26.  Miracles represent freedom from fear.  "Atoning" means "undoing".  The undoing of fear is an essential part of the Atonement value of miracles.

27.  A miracle is a universal blessing from God through me to all my brothers.  (from Jesus)  It is the privilege of the forgiven to forgive.

28.  Miracles are a way of earning release from fear.  Revelation induces a state in which fear has already been abolished.  Miracles are thus a means and revelation is an end.

29.  Miracles praise God through you.  They praise him by honoring His creations, affirming their perfection.  They heal because they deny-body-identification and affirm spirit-identification.

30.  By recognizing spirit, miracles adjust the levels of perception and show them in proper alignment.  This places spirit at the center, where it can communicate directly.
