Becoming Miracle Workers

In the following 25-minute video Marianne Williamson outlines the basic tenets of the collection of spiritual writings known as A Course in Miracles. In doing so, she lifts up what can be called the “spiritual basics” of humanity.

I share this video and its wisdom today on Michaelmas – the Feast of the Archangel Michael. Years ago I came across a (now defunct) website dedicated to illuminating the deeper, esoteric truths of “traditional,” exoteric religion. (For an exploration of the esoteric and exoteric models of religion, click here.) This website noted that “Michael is entrusted with all events pertaining to the Earth’s Light grid and visionary geography. He supervises its major upgrades, in progress since the mid-1980s [not that long after the publication of A Course in Miracles], in which additional geometric features are being ‘grown’ out of the original grid to accommodate ever-increasing celestial light and consciousness.”

In short, humanity is spiritually-evolving and we’re all called to be miracle workers; that is, people who see beyond the limitations of this world and of egocentric thinking to the ultimately Real world of boundless Love, a love we traditionally call “God.” I welcome voices like Marianne Williamson and others who offer insights and guidance on this evolutionary journey.


A Course in Miracles teaches that “Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.” What that means is this: Love is real. It’s an eternal creation and nothing can destroy it. Anything that isn’t love is an illusion. Remember this, and you’ll be at peace.
