A POWERFUL Creative Tool - Giving Thanks
Are miracles that are reported throughout history true? Or are they just the hopeful fantasies of silly superstitious people? I say, for the most part, they are true and I will tell you why further down…
When Jesus performed his miracle of the loaves and fishes before the great crowds that came to hear him speak what was the first thing that he did? FIRST He gave thanks, second he broke the bread and fishes, and third he instructed his disciples to distribute them to the crowds. Jesus gave thanks even before the miracle had occurred. Gratitude is a very powerful tool for creating. You cannot just give lip service, or mental service to gratitude, for when gratitude is done properly it is ALWAYS followed by a very good feeling that we refer to as gratitude. This feeling often moves us to tears…that is how powerful this feeling is.
I am often moved to tears by the responses of my friends on MySpace and here on my blog. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE!!! Some of my friends send me their gratitude for the work they see me doing. This brings tears to my eyes. Some of my friends have asked for my help to get them through some difficult situation. Once I have finished composing my email response to them, I am filled with intense gratitude because helping people is the biggest goal that I have for my life…more tears, even before I receive a grateful response back.
It is our emotions that tell us when our thoughts are on target. If we are feeling bad, we have separated ourselves from God, we have separated ourselves from our own higher power, from our source of energetic sustenance. But when we feel good, we are on target, we are connected with God, we are receiving our intuition, we are on our path in life heading where we ultimately want to be heading. And do not confuse this with the path that others, such as our family or our society, want us to go, this path I am referring to is the path that we have chosen along with the higher aspects of ourselves that is in direct communication with God.
I have experienced MANY miracles in my life. First let me say, that a miracle is just an event in life that we do not understand. All miracles occur according to spiritual law and coming into alignment with spiritual law. But for the most part we don’t understand these laws and so it seems like there has been some sort of divine intervention. There is no intervention, we are divine, we have only forgotten this fact and happened to stumble unknowingly upon the right thoughts and actions to receive our miracle. (Even if I word things otherwise, which I sometimes do, it is only so that what I am saying can be easily understood or accepted by others…other masters do the same…but they too know this fact I just stated.)
The more you practice the more you will understand Spiritual Law. Taking an active role by studying the teachings of great masters is the best place to start…but you still have to do the work, do the practice. You must come to understand the relationship between your thoughts and your feelings and the results you receive…including both the inner changes in your personality as well as the outer world changes that become manifest in your experience.
There was a time that I thought these reported miracles were a myth, a fantasy, the delusions of some superstitious people. But I no longer brush reports of miracles off so easily. I have had two major physical healing miracles in my life, and many minor ones too. The first major one is detailed in my book, Unforgettable: A Love and Spiritual Growth Story. The second one is detailed in a book that is just about to be published by another author called Living the Law of Attraction. Details about that book can be found at this website: http://livingtheloa.com
I live an amazing life…I know some of you who have read my bulletins and blogs might think I have a lot of dramas, that is true I do, but for every drama I have about ten things that are going so very very well. And those dramas I am also calling to myself by deliberately asking God to heal me of the last of my issues with judgment, anger, and criticism. I have been saving the best stories of amazing coincidences and miracles for my books. These experiences I have had, and deliberately call to myself, are due to the spiritual laws that I do understand…and GRATTITUDE is at the TOP of the list when it comes to POWERFUL ways to use the mind.
Be sure to remember to take ten minutes to remember everything you are grateful for. Actually this is a good practice to do every day. You too would experience many miracles if you did this ten minute practice every day. Guaranteed!
Love and Blessings to all,

Miracles DO exist! There was a time when miracles happened to me and I thanked God and then forgot about it. I never sat down and really looked at the miracle and how, well, miraculous it really was.
Then I had the biggest miracle of all happen to me. At first I told everyone I knew what a miracle it was. But not many people believed it to be a miracle so I just quit thinking about it.
Later, when I started down my current spiritual path, miracles started happening and I revisited the “big” miracle several times. I cry with joy at it because I now know that it WAS a miracle and no matter what others thought, it was for ME and ME alone (of course my husband was affected by it since this is what brought us twin daughters).
I look at them every day and remember their miracle, so I think this was my miracle of miracles. The one to tell me that we really do have this power and never to forget that.
So revel in the miracles, no matter how big or small, and recognize them for the beauty in which they were created. The idea of how infinitely wondrous our existence is can elevate you in joy for a long time to come.
Namaste Michael, your blog post today has me smiling from ear to ear.
