Connecting: A Community Conversation

Bill Bauman leads a special one-hour teleconference call each month to support personal and spiritual growth. From June 2007 to March 2009 Bill also lovingly prepared the following summaries of these inspiring calls.

JANUARY, 2008 TELECONFERENCE: MIRACLES! HOW THEY HAPPEN AND WHAT THEY MEAN!

Miracles are an amazing, welcome breath of fresh air in our human world. The words of this talk are background music to a deeper invitation to invite a miracle. So, even if you’re just reading this summary, please let yourself be swept up into that giant invitation.

Through a personal story about Donna and me, I invite you into two sides of how miracles happen:

•    On the human side, we (a) open ourselves to receive … then (b) we let go and let God … (c) simply trusting that perfection will happen at the right moment. Also, we invite ourselves to know that a seeming non-response may be an invitation to regroup and look at our situation from a different angle.

•    On the infinite side, Life creates miracles simply by being itself … not by trying, thought, decision-making or effort, but rather by unlimited divine grace, love and inspiration.

We find three powerful implications in this two-sided phenomenon of miracles:

•    We are Life itself, not just its creation;

•    Miracles happen not primarily through our human minds, but through uniting ourselves with the Mystery, Majesty and Miraculous-ness of Life;

•    The more we let go into this miracle-creating Mystery, the more we notice three phenomena: (a) that many miraculous creations magically appear; (b) that each and every creation is perfect (Really!); and (c) how each miracle creates us anew and forms us into the person of our destiny.

So, let’s invite a miracle right now. To do so, please take the following journey with me:

•    Invite the miracle, even if you don’t know what you need;

•    Let go of all desire for and attachment to the outcome;

•    Open yourself to be totally one with All Life; let go into its unfathomable Mystery;

•    From that central womb of Life, watch yourself become the “Eternal Now” … and watch how you magically become the miracle itself;

•    Celebrate all life everywhere. And, without your even noticing it, the miracle is here!

Thank you for being such a miraculous expression of Life! You are beautiful, precious and wondrous!
