The Nature of Peace and Happiness

"Is it valid to take the biblical stories of Jesus performing miracles literally? And if so, what distinguishes performing a miracle from receiving one – is there a different level of identification with God? Rupert says: ‘It’s valid, yes – though some miracles may be metaphorical. But events that don’t conform to the laws of physics as we know them are possible. When a miracle or synchronistic event occurs, there’s a close correspondence between the content of your mind and the manifestation of the world. Usually these realms seem separate, divided by the boundary of perception. But a miracle shows us there’s a deep correspondence between what takes place in the mind and what takes place in the world. If a mind is free of egoic activity and used solely in service of the whole, this correspondence becomes more effective. Imagine a mind with absolutely no reference to itself as a finite mind. That mind has died to itself and becomes the instrument through which the will of God is effected in manifestation. What appears to other minds as miracles is simply the will of God acting through a mind that offers no obstruction.’"
