When we are faced with seemingly impossible situations, it
helps to remember that things are not as they seem and that our emotional
state has a huge transformative impact on even the most traumatic and
stressful crisis situations.
In her excellent book Creating
Miracles, Carolyn Miller describes how people
have faced potentially lethal situations and avoided victimization by
realizing in the midst of their ordeal that they could find and project a
higher state of awareness on the situation. Their feelings changed their
situations so much that would-be muggers and rapists walked away from
potential victims, and a car plummeting off the side of the road landed
safely in a lake... that had never been there before.
Miller tells numerous true stories that all share a common thread... in a
time of need, people can and do create miracles. All that is needed is an
attitude of love and "miracle mindedness". This attitude can overcome even
the most horrific situations, bringing compassion to individuals who
otherwise would show no mercy, and shifting reality in very profound ways.
What makes this book particularly fascinating and useful to me is that
Carolyn Miller reviews dozens of stories to find some common threads...
some ways that people have found to shift reality in these times of great
stress:
Feel Love Move beyond the limited perspective of ego's worries
and fears.
Expect a Positive Outcome Instead of assuming that the situation
will continue to go in a negative direction, expect a positive (or neutral)
outcome.
Turn Inward Feel a meditative sense of detached, non-judgmental
peacefulness.
It seems that by practicing achieving a meditative state on
a regular basis, being optimistic, and being loving, we can predispose
ourselves to experiencing wonderful miracles. I know this is true from my
experiences with reality shifts!
I love the way Miller explains that it's not necessary to believe in divine
intervention in order to create miracles. She explains that people who
simply keep the "miracle-minded" attitude can bring miracles to even the
most hostile situations.
I give this extraordinarily inspirational book my highest
recommendation.
