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. 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. 11 Prayer is the medium of miracles. It is a means of 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 the lower or bodily level of experience, or the higher or spiritual level of experience. One makes the physical, and the other creates the spiritual."
