Manifesting Miracles

How do you cooperate with manifesting miracles in your life? How can you make yourself more miracle-ready?

These were the thoughts in my mind as I was out walking early yesterday morning, after I asked God in my spirit what to write about for this weekend's blog. The topic quickly came up, "Manifesting Miracles", and I resisted at first! "But God, are my readers ready for this? Am I ready for this???"

I have had many seeming "miracles" in my life, in my journey of transforming my self and my life from victimhood to sovereignty. I see patterns and what I call my Life Alchemy Diosa Ways (TM) now which I practice consistently in my life, but I felt unready to share it with the whole world! What is my one experience when compared with others' life experiences? "Shhh, careful." I felt God gently rebuking me, for minimizing my life experiences and my "miracles". So, I surrendered the resistance, and shifted to more openness, "Okay, Abba. Show me how to share it then."

And this quickly unfolded in my mind -- not just a blog outline but even an entire framework of the field of miracle manifestation! So, this is what I will share with you now, hoping it enriches and helps you also.

First off, I would describe "miracles" as those positive, life-affirming events or outcomes in our lives that appear logically or even statistically improbable, given the facts and circumstances at hand, but physically manifest in our lives anyway, out of time, out of logic and sensibility.

There's a global field of Law of Attraction (LOA) schools, coaches, and practitioners, and I have studied many of them and practiced the principles for most of my life. The popular mainstream message is that you simply direct your thinking towards your desires consistently, as your emotions align with your new thinking. Both directed thought and emotion then recalibrate your energies higher until they align with the energies of your desires, and voila! You manifest your desires into physical reality! However, it is not easy to "simply" direct my thinking, I soon found out. This discovery soon led me into meditative and mindfulness practices, which are helpful in clarifying my mind so I could finally direct it mindfully. But even so, manifestation doesn't happen 100% of the time.

This is because I have also discovered that I resist my own thoughts towards my deepest desires. No matter how I keep thinking about wellness, and wealth, and healthy love in my life, and trying to feel wellness, and wealth, and healthy love in my life, I eventually meet deeper, inner resistance to these, which are because of my ingrained or conditioned core beliefs about health, wealth, and love, and which are usually erroneous and mis-aligned with what I desire. There's a new, sub-field now in the LOA community that focuses on examining, healing, and replacing or "reprogramming" these unhelpful core beliefs, so LOA can work more effectively in one's life. Still, in my own life, I have found that they can only work so far, for as long as I am focused only on my own microscopic view of life and my desires and not even considering how everything fits in. What I try to manifest which I believe is for my own good but which actually minimizes others and their lives does not manifest at all. Even if it does, it minimizes or even harms me as well. So I have become more careful about what I desire, and learned to check them with God first if they are also aligned with His Desires for me.

Eventually, I also found that it's not even about me "grinding it out" with LOA, but sinking deeper into relaxing in my divine essence, connecting with God in my spirit, just keeping myself focused on my God-aligned desires and letting everything else fall into place. I only move from inspired action now. Otherwise, I rest and relax and keep Still, as I wait on God's unfolding and cooperate with His next Instructions for me. What God showed me very clearly in my walk with Him yesterday was this: "You don't even have to 'work it', putting a lot of will and effort in 'manifesting it', Sweetheart.

What Miracles require are openness and surrender. Many people call it faith. But, openness and surrender imply Trust that Life and the Universe will work things out for your Good, at least, even if you don't believe in Me yet. But, then again, Trust in Life and the Universe requires that you basically Trust yourself also. However, how can you trust yourself when, for most of life, you probably have been told you're not enough, you have to do better, you have to work it and grind it just to gain approval and get what you want?

You can only begin to Trust yourself when you begin to recognize and see yourself as also made of divinity, not just humanity. Because once you see yourself this way, then you begin to honor and value yourself as the truly precious Child of the Divine that you are. For as long as you don't honor and value yourself, you cannot trust yourself.

And you can only truly and fully Trust yourself when you experience my Love for you, no matter what. When you finally connect with Me and let Me Love you in all ways, you will experience deeper and richer intimacy with Me and with yourself, and you will finally begin to honor and value yourself as I love you. You will also begin to truly desire only what I desire for you, and when your desires are finally aligned with My wondrous desires and destiny for you, 'miracles' happen.

So, you see. 'Miracles' are only for those who don't believe in them, or who only rely on their human powers to create what they desire. For those who are deeply connected with Me and enjoy My Love for them more fully, they are the everyday, natural occurrences of a full and abundant life."

I was awed by the revelation, and I needed something more human to anchor it by. So, I asked for more confirmation on this please. Then, God reminded me of a book I read way back in 2008, Creating Miracles: A Practical Guide to Divine Intervention, by Carolyn Godschild-Miller. It's a book that was the outgrowth of the the author's dissertation in experimental psychology. She wanted to find out what makes miracles by interviewing dozens of real-life cases of people who experienced them in many areas of their lives (people who were "miraculously" saved from otherwise fatal accidents, self-healers, life transformers against all odds, etc.), and she came to the conclusion that there are certain qualities that make people more susceptible to miracles, which she calls being "miracle-minded".

I searched for the book in my library, reviewed my summary notes on it again this morning. These are the qualities of people who are "miracle-minded" which she highlights as a result of her study: 1. They have inner peace, a cultivated meditative state and altered higher state of consciousness, no matter what their circumstances are;

2. They approach from love, instead of fear, worry, anxiety, rage, terror;

3. They are inner-directed and basically reject or ignore other people's limited expectations of them and their lives;

4. They have a "comfortable working relationship" with reality. They generally accept things as they are and are open to unconsidered possibilities;

5. They are emotionally expressive, in touch with their inner truths, and self-assertive;

6. They possess "irrational" optimism in the face of "hopeless" situations;

7. They are open to and welcoming of actual Divine Intervention, recognizing their limited human capacities;

8. They have learned to unconditionally surrender and know how to let go of control about things beyond their control. Throughout her discussion in her book, she keeps pointing out her subjects' spirituality and sense of belief in and connection to the Divine/Something Bigger and Higher than themselves, even if they do not necessarily consider themselves as religious. She talks about "Right Mind", which is a mind that is connected to the Divine Mind, and concludes, "When you are in your Right Mind, miracles occur naturally." #DiosaWays #DivineFeminineLiving #TheDiosaLife #goddessways #miracles #LOA #manifesting
