T-2.V.A Special Principles of Miracle Workers
A. Special Principles of Miracle Workers
11. (1) The miracle abolishes the need for lower-order concerns. ²Since it is an out-of-pattern time interval, the ordinary considerations of time and space do not apply. ³When you perform a miracle, I will arrange both time and space to adjust to it.
12. (2) A clear distinction between what is created and what is made is essential. ²All forms of healing rest on this fundamental correction in level perception.
13. (3) Never confuse right- and wrong-mindedness. ²Responding to any form of error with anything except a desire to heal is an expression of this confusion.
14. (4) The miracle is always a denial of this error and an affirmation of the truth. ²Only right-mindedness can correct in a way that has any real effect. ³Pragmatically, what has no real effect has no real existence. ⁴Its effect, then, is emptiness. ⁵Being without substantial content, it lends itself to projection.
15. (5) The level-adjustment power of the miracle induces the right perception for healing. ²Until this has occurred healing cannot be understood. ³Forgiveness is an empty gesture unless it entails correction. ⁴Without this it is essentially judgmental, rather than healing.
16. (6) Miracle-minded forgiveness is correction. ²It has no element of judgment at all. ³The statement “Father forgive them for they know not what they do” in no way evaluates what they do. ⁴It is an appeal to God to heal their minds. ⁵There is no reference to the outcome of the error. ⁶That does not matter.
17. (7) The injunction “Be of one mind” is the statement for revelation-readiness. ²My request “Do this in remembrance of me” is the appeal for cooperation from miracle workers. ³The two statements are not in the same order of reality. ⁴Only the latter involves an awareness of time, since to remember is to recall the past in the present. ⁵Time is under my direction, but timelessness belongs to God. ⁶In time we exist for and with each other. ⁷In timelessness we coexist with God.
18. (8) You can do much on behalf of your own healing and that of others if, in a situation calling for help, you think of it this way:
²I am here only to be truly helpful.
³I am here to represent Him Who sent me.
⁴I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do, because He Who sent me will direct me.
⁵I am content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He goes there with me.
⁶I will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal.
