The Principles of Miracles 6-10

The original book cover
by Helen Shucman and
William Thetford
The following text is excerpted from A COURSE IN MIRACLES, under public domain law (see notes below)

If you have not read Principles 1-5 CLICK this link to read those Principles before these.

And here are Principles of Miracles 6-10 (of 50) quoted verbatim from the text, Chapter 1, Principles of Miracles

6. Miracles are natural. When they do not occur something has gone wrong.

7. Miracles are everyone's right, but purification is necessary first.

8. Miracles are healing because they supply a lack; they are performed by those who temporarily have more for those who temporarily have less.

9. Miracles are a kind of exchange. Like all expressions of love, which are  always miraculous in the true sense, the exchange  reverses the physical laws. They bring more love both to the giver and the receiver.

10. The use of miracles as spectacles to induce belief is a misunderstanding of their purpose.

Pay particular attention to Principle 8: PERFORMED BY THOSE WHO TEMPORARILY HAVE MORE, FOR THOSE WHO TEMPORARILY HAVE LESS.

While you contemplate these principles keep the following in mind (quoted verbatim from the text):

From Chapter 2: The Origins of Separation

Because of your likeness to your Creator you are creative. No child of God can lose this ability because it is inherent in what he is, but he can use it inappropriately by projecting. The inappropriate use of extension, or projection, occurs when you believe that some emptiness or lack exists in you, and that you can fill it with your own ideas instead of truth. This process involves the following steps:
  • First, you believe that what God created can be changed by your own mind.
  • Second, you believe that what is perfect can be rendered imperfect or lacking.
  • Third, you believe that you can distort the creations of God, including yourself.
  • Fourth, you believe that you can create yourself, and that the direction of your own creation is up to you.
And remember this as you ponder this material:


Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.

    A COURSE IN MIRACLES, the Public Domain version

    The Original Book Cover by
    Helen Shucman and
    William Thetford
    Please see link at bottom for CND and US Public Domain Law information


    There is a list of fifty Principles of Miracles in the first chapter of A Course In Miracles. I will post them, 5 principles per day. Give them some thought. See if they make sense to you; see if you can perceive how each principle may impact your life.


    Principles of Miracles

    1. There is no order of difficulty in miracles. One is not "harder" or "bigger" than another. They are all the same. All expressions of love are maximal.

    2. Miracles as such do not matter. The only thing that matters is their source, which is far beyond evaluation.

    3. Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes  
                                                                  from love is a miracle.

    4. All miracles mean life, and God is the giver of life. His voice will direct you very specifically. You will be told all you need to know.

    5. Miracles are habits, and should be involuntary. They should not be  under conscious control. Consciously selected miracles can be misguided.

    (Points 1 -5 are quoted verbatim from the original)

    Hmmmm. If you can't find immediate meaning in the words put them aside and read them again. Print out this post and read the principles before you drift off to sleep at night, and read them again when you wake up in the morning. Put your sub-conscious mind to work on understanding what is meant. Pay particular attention to Principle number 4. Know, deep inside, that this is true. YOU WILL BE TOLD ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.

    And keep this in mind as well ~  ~ quoted verbatim from the original except for parts in [ ] ~ ~


    This is a course in miracles. It is a required course [in life, I think, is meant]. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time. The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love's presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all encompassing can have no opposite. This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way:

    Nothing real can be threatened.
    Nothing unreal exists.
    Herein lies the peace of God.
