Quickest Way to Make a Miracle Disappear is to Question It

The spin room went dark 5 minutes before class ended. Since this was the second day in row for this mysterious event, the room was abuzz with the question “Why”. Someone softly remarked, “the quickest way to make a miracle disappear is to question it.” So it is with miracles, we question them. The better “why” question is “why would you question a miracle?”

In the Yucatan miracles abound everywhere you look. You see them in everything from the exquisite infinite turquoise ocean, to the constant smiles on the tourists. Tourists who have taken a break from their mundane lives to experience the miracle of paradise. One of the most wondrous Mayan miracles is the incredible cenote. In Spanish “cenote” translates to “deep thing”, in Mayan “abysmal and deep”. Cenotes are magical, enigmatic and unique. At one time they were the only source of fresh, sweet water in the Yucatan jungle. They were sacred places to the Mayans. Because the peninsula is a porous limestone shelf with no visible rivers, all the fresh water rivers were underground. The caves formed where the fresh water collected and created sinkholes. The water there is crystal clear and a turquoise color usually around 78 degrees F. Stalactites and stalagmites form inside and create miracle works of art. In other caves, the sunlight filters into the cenote creating a magical feeling. The Mayans never questioned their cenote miracles; they just blessed them and held them sacred.

Are you blessing and holding your miracles sacred? Do you know that miracles are the inheritance of your thoughts and feelings? Instead are you calling miracles luck? Do you wonder why a lucky event happened while you think back on all the good things that you’ve done to earn it? Or are you someone who is waiting for the other shoe to drop when something good occurs?

Creating miracles is like planting seeds. If you plant a seed and then watch the plant grow, there is a process which the seed follows. The seed is not aware of itself when it is a seed. It does not realize that it will become a cucumber, an oak tree or a tomato. Even though the seed is not conscious of this fact, it still has concealed within it a superior intelligence and comprehensive knowledge that it will become whatever the seed is; an apple tree, an orange or a radish. The seed is simply made up of the same atoms and molecules as you are. How do you know you will create your miracle? By trusting in the fact that you are the seed of the miracle. You will reap the crop you sow.

And so it is with miracles. Miracles are simply a demonstration of whatever it is that you have created through your thoughts and feelings. What thoughts are you thinking right now? What seeds are you planting?

Are you questioning your miracles before they even happen? I planted a garden last year from seed. Everyday I would check to see if they had broken ground. I wanted so badly to dig them up and see if they were “almost there”. Even though I knew the miracle of growth was in process, I wanted to hurry it up. Each seed would take a measured amount of time to grow. A radish grows faster than a tomato plant. Some miracles take longer than others. Does that make them any less a miracle or no miracle at all? What miracles are you planting and then dig their seeds up by questioning them before they ever have a chance to grow?

Today think about the seeds that you planting for the miracles that you will demonstrate tomorrow. Begin today by acknowledging the miracles in your life, bless everything good.

What are you planting? Seeds of love to reap a harvest of love? Seeds of compassion to receive a crop of compassion? Seeds of giving in order to receive a crop of abundance? Seeds of tolerance to reap a crop of acceptance?

Plant your life today!
