        * ein heiligmäßiges Phänomen
        * das Auftauchen des Möglichen in der Welt des Wahrscheinlichen
        * rekontextualisierte Wissendheit

Wunderheilung

Spontane Remission ist der medizinische Fachausdruck für Wunderheilung. Ärzte nehmen dieses Phänomen selten als Ausdruck ihrer Kunst in Anspruch, wirken jedoch meist ungelenk beziehungsweise peinlich berührt, wenn sie dazu Stellung nehmen. Placebo-Medikamente und Placebo-Operationen zeigen bisweilen ebenfalls eine heilende Wirkung.

 

Nach seinen wundersamen Heilungen forderte Jesus die Geheilten wiederholt dazu auf, anderen gegenüber nicht von ihrem früheren Leid zu berichten.1 Dieser Rat könnte eine Vorsichtsmaßnahme sein, sich der möglichen negativen Beeinflussung durch die Umgebung zu entziehen und somit einem Rückfall in die Krankheit vorzubeugen.

 

Und er gebot ihnen, dass sie es niemandem sagen sollten. Je mehr er es ihnen aber gebot, desto mehr machten sie
es übermäßig kund.
Markus 7, 36 (NT)

 

Und er gebot ihm, es niemandem zu sagen: sondern gehe hin und zeige dich dem Priester und opfere für deine Reinigung, wie Moses geboten hat, ihnen zum Zeugnis. Lukas 5, 14 (NT)

 

Und ihre Eltern gerieten außer sich; er aber gebot ihnen, niemandem zu sagen, was geschehen war. Lukas 8, 56 (NT)

Das Wunderpotential im Menschen

Was vor uns liegt und was hinter uns liegt,
sind Kleinigkeiten zu dem, was in uns liegt.
Und wenn wir das, was IN uns liegt,
nach außen in die Welt tragen,
geschehen Wunder.

⚠ Achtung Siehe Power vs. Truth (engl.) Januar 2013

  • Heiligmäßiges schwingt auf dem Bewusstseinsgrad 570, und auf dieser Ebene geschehen Wunder. Quelle unbekannt

 

  • Ein Wunder ist die rekontextualisierte Wissendheit […], bei der das Hindernis der Wahrnehmung aufgehoben ist.
    Quelle unbekannt

 

  • Lass dich von Wundern nicht in Bann ziehen. Ihre Beschaffenheit ist nicht persönlich; das Geschehen wird vom Feld registriert. Quelle unbekannt

 

  • Lass dich nicht vom Wundersamen faszinieren. Es geschieht von selbst; die Kundalini-Energie vollbringt es einfach, ohne im Geringsten mit dir Rücksprache zu nehmen. Kein Ich hat es ausgeführt. Und es ist unvorhersagbar. Wunder sind nicht nach Terminplan ausführbar. Quelle unbekannt

 

  • Bete um ein Wunder, um die Wahrheit zu sehen. Quelle unbekannt

 

 

  • In jedem untersuchten Fall, in dem eine hoffnungslose und nicht mehr zu behandelnde Krankheit [spontan] geheilt wurde, hat eine nachhaltige Bewusstseinsveränderung stattgefunden, wodurch die Attraktormuster, die zur Krank-
    heitsbildung geführt hatten, nicht mehr vorherrschend waren.

Quotes by D. Hawkins

Personal avowals

  • The overall condition of my nerves improved slowly, and then another phenomenon commenced – a sweet, delicious band of energy continuously flowing up the spine and into the brain, where it created an intense sensation of conti-
    nuous pleasure. Everything in life happened by synchronicity, evolving in perfect harmony, and the miraculous was commonplace. The origin of what the world would call miracles was the Presence, not my personal self. What remained of the personal "me" was only a witness to these phenomena. The greater "I," deeper than my own self or
    my own thoughts, determined all that happened.
    Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, Hay House, February 2002

 

  • The miraculous happened, beyond ordinary comprehension. Many chronic maladies from which I had suffered for years disappeared; my eyesight spontaneously normalized and I no longer needed my lifetime bifocals. Occasionally
    I would feel an exquisitely blissful energy, and Infinite Love, suddenly begin to radiate from my heart toward the scene of some calamity. Once I was driving on a highway when this exquisite energy began to beam out of my chest; as I rounded a bend, there was an auto accident, the wheels of the upturned car still spinning. The energy passed with great intensity into the occupants of the car and then stopped of its own accord.
    Interview with Dr. David Hawkins, Power vs. Force, presented by the US magazine In Light Times, August 2004
⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

 

  • If an event occurs outside the domain of explanation or expected linear causality and the Newtonian paradigm, it is termed a miracle. It is an eventuality that is brought into actuality by removal of the impediments of negativity. This
    may involve relinquishment of limiting belief systems, such as, "It's impossible,' or 'It is not deserved," or other ego viewpoints. For those who have reached higher levels of consciousness, the miraculous is not only commonplace,
    it is the natural course of events and becomes continuous. The miraculous comes out of creation and not causality.
    The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden, S. 139, 2001

 

  • Question: How do you explain the miraculous?
    Answer: The term 'miraculous' stems from the Newtonian paradigm, which is limited by the confines of logic in mate-
    rial form and the assumption of causality. Miracles are only comprehensible from the nonlinear domain. When spiritual power becomes focused on faulty perception, it is replaced by vision of the underlying reality which is not
    within the realm of logic. The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden, S. 316, 2001

 

  • When we unreservedly support life without expecting gain, life supports us in return. When we abandon gain as a
    motive, life responds with unexpected generosity. When we perceive in this way, the miraculous begins to appear in
    the life of every dedicated spiritual aspirant. Harmony manifests as the unexpected discovery, the fortuitous coinci-
    dence, and the lucky break, and finally the realization occurs that these are the ripples coming back to oneself from
    the seat of consciousness. I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 22, 2003

 

  • The key element to the empowerment of the Will is consent. This act of surrender (see Tiebout, 19492) allows for the miraculous, which is a bifurcation of the life process (as described by nonlinear dynamics and the Heisenberg princip-
    le
    ). The intention then intensifies the emergence of potentiality into experiential existential reality. This is also the mechanism described at length in the famous A Course in Miracles (1975). It is also the critical first step in Alcoholics Anonymous and other faith-based groups that admit, "without God's help, we were hopeless and helpless" (AA, 2000). Truth vs. Falsehood. How to Tell the Difference, chapter 16 "Religion and Truth", "The Will (Cal. 850)", S. 358-359, 2005

 

  • From consciousness level 540 and up into the higher 500s, phenomena occur spontaneously that are inexplicable by reason, the customary conceptualization of logic, or cause and effect. They are an accompaniment to the progressive dominance of the spiritual energy (kundalini) and occur as a consequence of the contextual field rather than by volition. They are witnessed and seen to occur autonomously. These have been classically termed siddhis (Sanskrit) and denote 'supranatural' or 'miraculous/mystical powers', as they are not explicable by logic.

Expect a miracle, pray a storm

  • When phenomena appear that are beyond the expectations of logic or reason, they tend to become described as ‘mystical, ineffable, or miraculous’ to denote the consequence of intention and the response of the contextual field that results in emergence. Therefore, to ‘expect a miracle,’ or ‘pray for the highest good’ accelerates the resolution of a per-
    ceived problem.
    This is facilitated by surrendering judgmentalism or the desire to control outcomes. Thus, one is ‘responsible for the effort and not the results’ (a dictum of twelve-step spiritual groups).
    Transcending the Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, Section V "Spiritual Transformation", S. 310 [312], 2006

 

  • Miraculous phenomena are the spontaneous, nonvolitional emergence of a potentiality's emerging as an actuality as
    a consequence of karmic propensities and local conditions, such as the level of the contextual field set by the power
    of the prevailing level of consciousness. Discovery of the Presence of God. Devotional Nonduality, S. 98, 2007

 

  • The truly 'miraculous' is the emergence into actuality of potentiality as a consequence of an overall contextual field that includes karma, and it is therefore not 'caused' by nor can it be claimed by an individual personality. Discovery of the Presence of God. Devotional Nonduality, S. 201, 2007

 

  • Letting go of the illusory sovereignty of the ego allows that which is truly sovereign to intercede. Intervention occurs via the Holy Spirit. Through contrition, undoingness, surrender, and willingness we create a space for the mira-
    culous. Enlightenment itself is by God's grace. You can only remove the impediments to higher consciousness but the final step is by God alone, by God only. Sedona Seminar Causality: The Ego's Foundation, 3 DVD set, January 2002

Quotes by D. Hawkins – Occultism

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

  • Traditional scripture, as well as highly evolved sages and teachers, warn "not to go there" [paranormal phenomenons] because the astral realms are not spiritual and represent other realms and dimensions for which the human mind is not equipped with protective discernment. Thus, it is perilous to invoke spirits and otherworldly entities. Occult practices have a sizeable and unseen downside.

Quotes by various other sources

In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and
women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the heavens
above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to dark-
ness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. And everyone
who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Acts 2, 17-21 (NT)

  • I like to walk alone on country paths, rice plants and wild grasses on both sides, putting each foot down on the earth in mindfulness, knowing that I walk on the wondrous earth. In such moments, existence is a miraculous and mysterious reality. People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either
    on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a
    blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child – our own two eyes. All is a miracle.

I remember the doctor at the clinic looking at the before and after scans, saying, "Well, there is nothing here now." I said, "Really, it must be a miracle." He said "No, these things happen; they are called spontaneous remis-

  • Question: What does The Course in Miracles talk about magic?
    Answer: […] The ego's power is magic.
    There is a difference in magic and miracles.
    And in that sense magic is not a good thing. […] If you just want to make something happen, that's the way of magic. […]
    The The Course in Miracles says: If you just treat God like your errand boy and say: I want this, I want this, and I want this!, that's magic.
    The way of the miraculous is: "Dear God, how can I serve you." It is a path of surrender. […]
    That goes back to [movies like] "What the Bleep!" and seeing it all through physics. If it doesn't involve humility
    and it doesn't involve surrender, it doesn't involve true power.

    Not to mind about magic, but it is not going to involve the miraculous. It is not going to really tear down the kinds of walls that are keeping darkness in place on the planet.

Magic ⇔ miracles

  • Magic is when you tell the universe how you want it to serve you.
    Miracles is when you ask how you can be of service to the universe.
    Marianne Williamson (*1952) US American spiritual teacher, political activist, visionary, lecturer, author, Facebook comment, 21. December 2012

 

  • The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. Albert Einstein [LoC 499] (1879-1955) German-born US American theoretical physicist, developer of the theory of general relativity, Nobel laureate in physics, 1921, source unknown

 

  • The miracles […] indicate that our growth as human beings is being assisted by a force other than our conscious
    will. M. Scott Peck [LoC 475] (1936-2005) US American psychiatrist, psychotherapist, author, The Road Less Traveled, S. 281,
    1st edition 1978, Random House United Kingdom, 15. March 1990, Touchstone, 25th anniversary edition 4. February 2003

 

  • To study the meaning of man and of life – I am making significant progress here. I have faith in myself. Man is a mys-
    tery: if you spend your entire life trying to puzzle it out, then do not say that you have wasted your time. I occupy my-
    self with this mystery, because I want to be a man.
    Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky [Work LoC 465] (1821-1881) Russian author, personal correspondence (1839), cited in: Konstantin Mochulski, Michael A. Minihan, translator, Dostoevsky. His Life and Work, S. 17, 1971

 

 

  • To my thinking, miracles are never a stumbling-block to the realist. It is not miracles that dispose realists to faith. The genuine realist, if he is an unbeliever, will always find strength and ability to disbelieve in the miraculous, and if he is confronted with a miracle as an irrefutable fact he would rather disbelieve his own senses than admit the fact. Even if he admits it, he admits it as a fact of nature till then unrecognized by him. Faith does not, in the realist, spring from the miracle but the miracle from faith. If the realist once believes, then he is bound by his very realism to admit the miracu-
    lous also. The Apostle Thomas said that he would not believe till he saw, but when he did see he said, "My Lord and my God!" Was it the miracle that forced him to believe? Most likely not, but he believed solely because he desired to believe and possibly he fully believed in his secret heart even when he said, "I do not believe till I see."
    Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky [Work LoC 465] (1821-1881) Russian writer of novels, short stories and essays, The Brothers Karamazov, book I, chapter 5 "Elders", 1879

 

  • When man rejects miracle he rejects God too; for man seeks not so much God as the miraculous. And as man can-
    not bear to be without the miraculous, he will create new miracles of his own for himself, and will worship deeds of
    sorcery and witchcraft, though he might be a hundred times over a rebel, heretic and infidel. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dos-
    toevsky
    [Work LoC 465] (1821-1881) Russian author, The Brothers Karamazov, book V, chapter 5 "The Grand Inquisitor", 1879

 

  • The believers in miracles accept them (rightly or wrongly) because they have evidence for them. The disbelievers in miracles deny them (rightly or wrongly) because they have a doctrine against them. The open, obvious, democratic thing is to believe an old apple-woman when she bears testimony to a miracle, just as you believe an old apple-woman when she bears testimony to a murder. Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) British journalist, writer, Orthodoxy, 1908, cited in: Authority and the Adventurer

    Discernment is learning to listen to and trust your natural knowing.
    Ecstatic states of bliss are as adrenaline-fueled as the darkest scream of terror.
    Violence is a choice masquerading as a necessity.
    All growth requires is that you step out of what's comfortable and try something new.
    Life is the ultimate gift of love.
Steve Ryals, US American minister of the "Universal Life Church", recovered drugatic, licensed massage therapist, author, Drunk with Wonder. Awakening to the God Within, Rock Creek Press, September 2006
