Love is Miraculous

“Only Love has the power to alter the subtler vibrations of human energy, 

for Love transforms events on the level of consciousness, 

and consciousness is the level of true cause.” 

- Marianne Williamson, “Everyday Grace”

It’s been a little over a week here on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico.  The people here have welcomed me with open arms both ex-pats and the locals.  Isn’t it awesome the enormous family we have as we meet the world with an open Heart?

While walking the beach together or sitting at a local restaurant, the question would come up, “So, how did you come to settle in this area?”  The responses were always so interesting. 

Here is one story to share with you:  One couple, from Canada, got it that they wanted to live in warmer climate and began investigating places in the south on the internet.  They were led to a larger town close by, called Merida.  It is the capital of this state and is very modern.  When they came north to the beach they found this little fishing village that called to them but seemed to have very little to offer, in comparison.  But, they thought, with Merida only an hour away that made it convenient.  Now the adventure began.  How to do it … move to this little village by the sea?

Well, they took a leap of faith.  They sold their home in Toronto, Canada and all of their belongings and came to this little village by the sea with no idea of how it was going to turn out. They were not retired or particularly wealthy people and the only way they could do it was to find work here.  His skill as an innovative and skilled mechanic and she would assist in any way and has a skill as a computer wiz.  Collectively, this was what they had to offer.  Lo and behold, in their search for several months, they found the opportunity.  This area has a marina with lots of boats from folks locally and those who lived in Merida, but no boat mechanic was available here.  The two of them created a place for themselves in this little community that not only gave them a way to make a living, their efforts also assisted in the larger picture in contributing to the overall economy here, by training many of the local Mexicans in a newly skilled trade.  It’s been three years and when I visited the marina yesterday, I was amazed at what they had created here in such a short period of time.

There are many other stories that I could share with you.  My discovery has been very inspiring and has brought up a basic principle that my teacher shared with me many years ago and it has become so much a part of my daily life, that I don’t think about it much any more, accept when I see it happening like this in such a miraculous way.  It has been lovely having the opportunity of sharing the principle with folks that are living it but may not be aware of the principle itself.   It’s like a tool that we have but unless we know what it is, we cannot use it in other applications in life.  So, as challenges have been coming up while here, we could be with the situation together and all of us see how it works.

The basis of the principle begins by remaining open when an inspiration or challenge comes up -- not closing up with the fear of the unknown and get stuck in “it’s not possible”.  How do we do that?  Well, there are many techniques.  But, while I am with someone who hasn’t been down my particular spiritual path, I cannot go there with the spiritual “words” that I’m used to.  That is an immediate turn off and a shut down.  It’s like a foreign language.  So, instead of talking about it from a teaching perspective, questions come up to ask to begin taking notice of what is being felt in the presence of this challenge and letting whatever is there to come up and simply be there.  We are not trying to come up with any solution at this point -- we are just allowing it all to come up and simply give it full open space to be there.    Something very sweet begins to happen … the power of Love is activated.  Now, there is an opening where true inspiration can come in from our Source where infinite possibilities are present.  When we respond to that, it is important to continue to remain open and relaxed with an overall feeling of: “I don’t really know how this can happen, but it all feels like everything is going to be ok.” 

The steps that come now are very spontaneous and “out of the blue,” so to speak.  It feels like a miracle just occured that was very mysterious and we are left with a feeling of, “how did that happen?” and a deep sense of gratitude for that which made it happen.   I’m sure you have had this experience yourself and this is nothing knew for you too.  It’s so beautiful to step back and see how the principle actually works, isn’t it?

“We can see Miracles as sewn into the fabric of the universe, and when we do, our experience of the universe is altered.  When we are open to the possibility that God’s power is truly unlimited – that in the ultimate vastness of the cosmos, love prevails – then we are automatically transported to a realm of possibility in which miracles flow forth naturally.”  

-  Marianne Williamson, “Everyday Grace”

So, it all comes back to Love, again and again.   When we can love this moment, just as it is, we have created an open space for miracles to happen.

Would you do me a favor?  …  Share with us how this has worked for you.  It is so inspiring to hear life's stories of miracles.  In our sharing it not only assists others, it makes it come alive for you too.   Put your story in “comments” below, or if you have not figured out how to do that, send it to me on my email and I will put it on the blog for you.  Ok?

It’s been wonderful sharing with you.

Have a miraculous day! … Have a miraculous life!
