The Power of Giving and the Path to Miracles: Understanding Responsibility and Transformation
In life, whenever something seems lacking, it’s essential to understand that the deficiency often stems from what you are not giving. This principle applies to every situation. Consider any upset or conflict you’ve experienced. How often do we place the blame on others, assuming the problem lies outside of ourselves? Yet, the truth is, the key to resolving these issues usually lies within us and our willingness to give what is needed.
People make mistakes—this is an undeniable fact of life. However, no mistake you make can ever alter the eternal truth of who you are. God doesn’t view your mistakes as sins deserving of punishment or eternal damnation. Instead, they are simply missteps, opportunities for growth and learning. What truly matters is how these mistakes are perceived and processed within your mind.
Every thought we entertain either brings us closer to heaven or hell. Heaven represents a state of good thoughts and positive feelings—peace, joy, love—while hell embodies anxiety, fear, and other negative emotions. The ego, which thrives on fear and separation, drags us into hellish states. But it’s crucial to understand that we are not punished *for* our sins; we are punished *by* them. In archery, this is akin to missing the mark—an error that can be corrected, not a damning judgment.
When you or someone else makes a mistake, it’s important to recognize that it’s just that—a mistake. The eternal truth of who you are remains unchanged. Consider moments when you’ve felt anger or resentment toward someone for past actions. It’s important to realize that the past exists only in your mind. It has no power to hurt you unless you allow it to intrude into the present. Similarly, the future is merely a projection of your thoughts and expectations. The only real power the past or future holds is what you give them by dwelling on them in the present.
Your infinite soul is bursting with endless possibilities for good. As you cultivate this awareness and align yourself with the light within, areas of your life that are out of balance will naturally begin to self-correct. The universe has an inherent tendency to restore balance and harmony, but this can only happen if you allow it. If you refuse to experience the good moments in life—clinging instead to past hurts or future anxieties—you program your future to mirror the negativity of the past.
The ego will always provide evidence to keep you stuck in your current mindset, convincing you that things cannot change. But this is an illusion. The price you pay for not acknowledging that you are 100% responsible for your experience is immense. If you do not recognize your complete responsibility, you surrender your power to change your life. No one else can take this responsibility for you—not 95 percent, not 99 percent, but 100 percent. This realization is the gateway to transformation.
As adults, we are fully responsible for our experiences. The universe is 100 percent malleable, ready to respond to our intentions and actions. There are no true victims in this sense—only those who have yet to embrace their power. Think of every experience in your life that isn’t working, and contemplate these concepts. What you need is not just a solution but a miracle. Miracles are not about fixing things; they transcend ordinary limitations. There is no order of difficulty in miracles—they are natural occurrences when we align our thinking with divine consciousness.
If you believe that miracles are impossible, you block yourself from recognizing the consciousness that leads to them. God doesn’t withhold miracles because of past wrongs committed by you or your parents. Miracles operate on a different plane, beyond the limitations of past mistakes. The most powerful force in the universe is the agreement between two people. When two minds come together in the belief that miracles are possible, they create the conditions for miracles to occur.
Miracles are not just possible; they are the natural order of the universe. When they do not occur, it is a sign that something is amiss in our thinking or in the natural order of things. By accepting this truth and taking full responsibility for your experience, you open the door to profound transformation. Embrace the power of giving, align yourself with love, and believe in the possibility of miracles—this is the path to true freedom and fulfillment.
