Yes, I believe in miracles

Alban says:

Of course, miracles do happen all the time. They are everyone's right. I know friends that had incredible healings. Miracles do not go against the "laws of nature". It is rather that there are no laws but God's. Nature is following God's laws, even if it does not appear that way. But nothing in this world is as it appears.

Jarett says:

Indubitably! They happen completely on their own when we live in joy, when we relinquish all negativity of mind, when we stop trying to control life, and when we harmoniously go with the flow of existence.

Pamela2Heaven says:

I believe in Miracles as far as some things being stopped before the time they are meant to happen. My beliefs ONLY...sometimes it seems as if "Fluke" things happens that causes energy spikes and it interupts the nature flow of some situations.

No, I don't believe in miracles.

spirituality says:

I don't believe in things that go against the laws of nature. I do believe that we don't know all those laws yet, so why shouldn't unexplained things happen?

So, what IS a miracle? 

The discussion about whether or not miracles happen is made very difficult by the way the word 'miracle' gets defined and redefined. Here are some of the possible definitions, and I wonder what you think of them.

A miracles is simply a corrective intervention that changes my mind. Separation, sickness is in my mind only. There it needs to be healed, and is, as soon as I am willing to let go of my ideas of sickness and separation. It is all already accomplished. Now, that is a miracle.

I was hit by a drunk driver once. He totaled my car, if he would not have hit my car first, he would have killed two little children in the back seat of the second car he hit after mine. Why? How do I know this was a miracle? The guy was driving a huge car going very fast and the second car he hit was a small compact car. Before he crashed into my car, the only thing I remember seeing was those two little childrens faces in the back window of the other car. I was told later at the hospital that the two children were shook up but did not have one cut on them! Miracle? I would like to believe so.
