About Me

Thank you for stopping by my blog! My name is Dave and I am 21 years old. I have always wanted to be a great inspiration to anybody I meet on my journey. I created this space to post some of the experiences I have day to day. I have set out on a journey to learn from my direct experience. These are simply recordings of the lessons I learn through listening and feeling. My intention is to expand your awareness, to provide new perspective. I wish to spread love and create harmony in the individual. : D

A Course in Miracles

This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is coluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you may 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

Here in lies Peace.


This is the opening statement to the single most important piece of text I have ever laid my eyes on. This book contains all the necessary information to break down any illusion you may hold in your mind. Due to the value I put on this text, I felt it was absolutely essential to share it with as many people as I can. The opening statement is describing that which I have in the articles "Eternal Light" and "Enlightenment" This book was created to help you see your own light again. Why is seeing your light so important? Why do I value it so highly? I value enlightenment so highly because in this state of mind we get to create a relationship with something so powerful and profound, words cannot describe it. You witness love so pure within yourself and every person around you that perfection is all you can see. Everything you think, say, and do becomes a beautiful opportunity to strengthen your relationship with the loving energy within. This is not the path for everyone. For those who wish to remember their truth and live with a constant awareness of love, please read on.


Mir a cle      /'mirikel/ 

Noun.  A surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is considered to  be divine.

A highly improbably or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment.

These are the Principles of Miracles, as stated in "A Course in Miracles"

  1. There is no order of difficulty among 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 human 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 (they use the word God to represent what I call the Isness, what makes you, you. If you were to collect all of this Isness in the entire universe, you could call that energy God) is the Giver of life. His voice will direct you very specifically. You will be told that which 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.
  6. Miracles are natural. When they do not occur, something has gone wrong, something is out of order.
  7. Miracles are everyone's right, but purification is necessary first.
  8. Miracles are healing because they supply a lack in that 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 wrong, or better, is a misunderstanding of their purpose. They are really used for and by believers.
  11. Prayer is the medium of miracles. Prayer is the natural communication of the created with the Creator. Through prayer love is received, and through miracles love is expressed.
  12. Miracles are thoughts. Thoughts can represent lower-order or higher-order reality. This is the basic distinction between intellectualizing and thinking. One makes the physical and the other creates the spiritual, and we believe in what we make or create. 
  13. Miracles are both beginnings and endings. They thus alter the temporal order. They are always affirmations of rebirth which seem to go back but really go forward. They undo the past in the present and thus release the future. 
  14. Miracles bear witness to truth. They are convincing because they arise from conviction. Without conviction they deteriorate into magic, which is mindless and therefore destructive, or rather the uncreative use of the mind. 
  15. Each day should be devoted to miracles. The purpose of time is to enable man to learn to use it constructively. Time is thus a teaching device and a means to an end. It will cease when it is no longer useful in facilitating learning.
  16. Miracles are teaching devices for demonstrating that it is more blessed to give than receive. They simultaneously increase the strength of the giver and supply strength to the receiver.
  17. Miracles are the Transcendence of the body. They are sudden shifts into invisibility, away from a sense of lower-order reality. That is why they heal. 
  18. A miracle is a service. It is the maximal service one individual can render another. It is a way of loving your neighbor as yourself. The doer recognizes his own and his neighbor's inestimable worth simultaneously. 
  19. Miracles make minds one in God. They depend on cooperation because the Sonship (The human collective) is the sum of all the souls created. Miracles therefore rest on the laws of eternity, not of time. 
  20. Miracles reawaken the awareness that the spirit, not the body, is the alter of truth. This is the recognition that leads to the healing powers of the miracle. 
  21. Miracles are natural expressions of forgiveness.
  22. Miracles are associated with fear only because of the fallacious belief that darkness can hide. Man believes that what he cannot see does not exist, and his physical eyes cannot see in the dark. This is a very primitive solution and has led to a denial of the Spiritual Eye. The escape from darkness (Lack of light, Lack of love) involves two stages. 1. The recognition that darkness cannot hide. This step usually entails fear. 2. The recognition that there is nothing you want to hide, even if you could. -This brings escape from fear. 
  23. Miracles rearrange perception and place the levels of perception into true perspective. This heals at all levels because sickness comes from confusing the levels. When you have become willing to hide nothing, you will not only be willing to enter into communion but will also understand peace and joy. Your commitment is not yet total, and that is why you still have more to learn than to teach. When your equilibrium stabilizes, you will be able to teach as much as you learn, which will give you the proper balance. Meanwhile, remember that no effort is wasted, for unless you remember this, you cannot avail yourselves of my efforts, which are limitless. Only eternity is real (we are participating in a dream! : D ) Why not use the illusion of time constructively?
These are the first 23 of 53 principles. I have posted these teachings with the hope that you will be blessed with revelation. If you wish to buy this book please do your research. Unless you find original copies you will be reading sudo-information. This book was sabotaged after its printing because of the truth found within. Go have fun creating miracles now, go and spread love : D
