Miracles...

Expect a miracle today, and I guarantee you’ll see one,
Kinesiologists teach us that of the 65,000 thoughts we have per day, its only about 7 high-vibration/loving thoughts that counter-balance the other 64,993 low-vibration/negative thoughts and keep us from obliterating ourselves off the planet,
This is power!!!
My research and experience corroborates this,
I’ve lost count of how many times people walk into my therapy room distraught and just even one positive thought causes them to find their equilibrium...
[What do I say to them? Expect a miracle today..., please we’re not defining miracle to mean only occurrences like parting the proverbial Red Sea, no, a smile on a previously anxious face is miracle enough for me... ]
Crime in Washington D.C. was dramatically reduced during the few days an actual experiment was done whereby a number of people focused on loving thoughts for a portion of the day,
This experiment has been repeated in other parts of the world with similar success...

The last few days have seen massive amounts of stress come my way,
Yet, by focussing repeatedly on the expectation of miracles, the miracles have come, and the stress has receded,
This got me thinking,
Why am I merely looking for miracles,
Why don’t I see miracles in everyone and everything?
Wow!!!
This technique took me to another level,
Now, I realize that my every breath is a miracle,
Every ‘hateful’ and ‘angry’ persona that comes to me is a miracle, if only I focus on their spirit, rather than on their form,
Even suicidal people made the decision to give life one more try after allowing just one loving thought to splash their weary brains,
[A major in the South African Police Force taught me a brilliant line to use on suicides, many, many years ago, it still works with reverberating success, it goes like this:
Say, come down off the ledge and talk with me,
If you’re not helped by what I have to say, you can always jump tomorrow,
but if you jump now, its all finished...]
Yes, I know, believe me, its a lot easier said than done,
But, it works, every time...

I dare to ask,
What if we consciously had 14 loving thoughts, or 28, or 56...???
Could we, like Walt Disney go from a mouse-infested garage to Disneyland?
Why not?
Could we heal cancer?
Why not?
Could we heal a broken heart?
Why not?
Could we place serenity on the face of someone who recently lost a loved one?
Why not?
I see these miracles all the time, not only in my life, but all around me as well...

Keep parting that Red Sea, will ya?

Dear Earl Grey

A philosophical tour-de-force: I can also follow the logic quite easily - (which is not always the case for me - as I have an unconventional and romanticised view of life at odds with reality).

Great write EGT, enjoyed it.

Regards

Fellsman cheers

I've never heard of a Kinesiologist but I certainly believe in the power of positive thoughts. Cheers EGT for you usual insightful words. handshake

Earl, I too believe whatever we think...we get, at least to some extent. Your observation (perhaps reobservation) adds hope to all who read and heed. Thanks. ;-)

Hi, Earlgreytea,
Your miraculous write brought to mind Disney's "Fantasia" interpretation of Goethe's poem "Der Zauberlehrling" in The Sorcerer's Apprentice, the symphonic poem composed by Paul Dukas. My mind toys with the idea that we create our own reality (something akin to karma); yet, I am torn by why bad things happen to good people (and visa versa). That said, I see no harm in generating positive energy and loving thoughts and unleashing them on the world. It should only be a positive thing!!! Why don’t I see miracles in everyone and everything? ...I see these miracles all the time, not only in my life, but all around me as well... Thank you for putting your delicate spotlight on all that is!!! Life IS a miracle. Thanks for sharing it with us! Expect a miracle today, and I guarantee you’ll see one,... Amen!

i don't believe in miracles per se... but i do believe that people are capable of extraordinary things, and sometimes extraordinary things can be interpreted as miracles - that's just what i believe though and i'm in a minority group i would imagine on this point. it's far easier to say something was a miracle than figure out what really happened. dunno

nice write Earl

The Power of Positive Thinking. Oh, how grand! :0)

A miracle is seeing a smile where before there wasn't one. :0) My grandmother used to have an engraved plaque that said, "If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours". :0)

*LOVE* this! :0) wine hug heart wings teddybear

Reading this is like therapy, makes so much sense. Thank you Earl..my friend..you are an education

funny thing, Mike, its amazing how you help yourself as well, when you help others, not that that should be our goal, as it kinda defeats the purpose, my point is this, i'd forgotten my little advice and you reminded me and it helped me, lol, thanks my friend... cheers
