1 You are entitled to miracles because of what you are. You
will receive miracles because of what God is. And you will offer
miracles because you are one with God. Again, how simple is salvation!
It is merely a statement of your true Identity. It is this that we will
celebrate today.
2 Your claim to miracles does not lie in your illusions about
yourself. It does not depend on any magical powers you have ascribed to
yourself nor on any of the rituals you have devised. It is inherent in
the truth of what you are. It is implicit in what God your Father is. It
was ensured in your creation and guaranteed by the laws of God.
3 Today we will claim the miracles which are your right since
they belong to you. You have been promised full release from the world
you made. You have been assured that the Kingdom of God is within you
and can never be lost. We ask no more than what belongs to us in truth.
Today, however, we will also make sure that we will not content
ourselves with less.
4 Begin the longer practice periods by telling yourself quite
confidently that you are entitled to miracles. Closing your eyes, remind
yourself that you are asking only for what is rightfully yours. Remind
yourself also that miracles are never taken from one and given to
another and that in asking for your rights you are upholding the rights
of everyone. Miracles do not obey the laws of this world. They merely
follow from the laws of God.
5 After this brief introductory phase, wait quietly for the
assurance that your request is granted. You have asked for the salvation
of the world and for your own. You have requested that you be given the
means by which this is accomplished. You cannot fail to be assured in
this. You are but asking that the Will of God be done. In doing this,
you do not really ask for anything. You state a fact that cannot be
denied.
6 The Holy Spirit cannot but assure you that your request is
granted. The fact that you accepted must be so. There is no room for
doubt and uncertainty today. We are asking a real question at last. The
answer is a simple statement of a simple fact. You will receive the
assurance that you seek.
7 Our shorter practice periods will be frequent and will also
be devoted to a reminder of a simple fact. Tell yourself often today:
8 I am entitled to miracles.
9 Ask for them whenever a situation arises in which they are
called for. You will recognize these situations; you are not relying on
yourself to find them, you are therefore fully entitled to receive them
whenever you ask.
10 Remember, too, not to be satisfied with less than the
perfect answer. Be quick to tell yourself, should you be tempted:
11 I will not trade miracles for grievances.
I want only
what belongs to me.
God has established miracles as my right.
