Many thanks theunify for your last post,I cannot share any miracles with you,not that
wonderful and uplifting spiritual experiences have not happened to me,they indeed have!
But,I do not believe or accept the idea of miracles,and I will tell you why.

In my limited understanding,for I have only been studying this for a mere 30 years,I once
met an elderly man who had been "practising" meditation for 75 years,he told me he was
just "getting the hang of it",but was still learning??

A miracle as I understand it,implies a suspension of natural law,for this "event" to occur!
And as natural laws are perfect and absolute in operation,this cannot EVER happen!

What instead seems to happen,is that a higher spiritual law,that we do not encounter
very often,comes into play and manifests itself,to our great surprise!We see mostly just
the heavy and somewhat dross physical laws in regular operation,but we need to be ever
mindful that there are many other "higher laws" that ascend the scale of vibrational output
from the heavy physical laws throught those of the astral-plane,the etheric-plane,higher
mind-and soul-plane,plus the vast infinite oceanic spiritual planes of Beingness?
Miracles are a wonderful idea,and no doubt make us feel special,after all God suspended
his lawful intent just for me??

I myself like the idea of them,but alas I also know that they are fairy stories that can give
comfort to children,but we are all grown up now are we not!
