The Anatomy of a Miracle
đ€©đ€©đ€©đ€©đ€©đ€©đ€©
This morning my host here in Holland was missing some client files from his hard drive.
He looked and looked for about 2 hours on all of his devices until eventually, he gave up.
As he gave up I could feel the resistance and tension of the room go down.
This made space for a deeper inquiry.
âHow much do you want them back?â I asked
âActually, not that much to be honestâ he replied
On a scale of 1â10?
âA 5â he said
Okay, so then heâs at a 5 of resistance â this is what he was really telling me.
So, we would need a level 5 miracle for this.
I recently reflected in a facebook post about creating miracles:
âMiracles are easy and normal when they are commanded from true love, because it carries the potency of the greater collective truth.â
Yes, a 5 feels do-able right now.
I chose to move forward without delay.
âSo why do you want it back?â I asked
âI feel bad for them. It would be inconvenient to recreateâ
âSo?â
âIâm afraid theyâll be upset with me. Theyâll reject meâ
âGreat, so letâs get that over with right now. Iâll reject you.â
He stops what heâs doing and looks at me. I stand up and glare at him.
âHow dare you misplace our efforts, you lazy prick! Whatâs wrong with you? How can you be so stupid? Why didnât you tell us youâre untrustworthy?â
âYouâre right, I am untrustworthy!â he spit out
âWell obviously!â I said. âA little late to share the news now, isnâ?â
âBut this is the first time this has happened in my whole career!â He said
Hmm, I stopped. âBut you just told me you are untrustworthy. Now, you say this is the first time this has ever happened. So which is it?â
âI always try so hard!â He said. âIâm so afraid of messing up!â
âWellâ, I replied. âSounds like youâve been trustworthy the whole time and youâre convinced you arenât.â
âI donât know if Iâm trustworthy or not. Maybe I am sometimes, and sometimes Iâm not.â
âSo, maybe it would be best if you didnât show up empty-handed when you tell them the news. Maybe you could first commit to being trustworthy.
Consider bringing along your own self-forgiveness and youâll be a blessing to everyone you meet. If you can find a way to show up to them in gratitude for the experience, that in itself is the energy exchange, your presence will be the gift â it will be a miracle for somebody who needs it.â
âYouâre right, Iâm really kicking myself for this. Yes, I can feel that. I didnât even realize I was hurting myself until you told me I was doing that. Okay, yes I can definitely forgive myself.â
SilenceâŠthe energy settles deeper. DeeperâŠ.His eyes light up, his mouth drops open.
He walks over to a hard drive he had tucked away in the corner. He picks it up. Looks at me, shocked.
âYouâre welcomeâ I laugh. I could feel it was still with us somewhere.
He plugs it in and finds the files, bewildered and happy.
How happy on a scale of 1â10?
âA 6.â
âCan you see the pattern now? Self-forgiveness brings us to everything we need. Imagine we do this work on areas of our life which feel impossible to change. Do you see the pattern between miracles and self-forgiveness?â
âWell, yes butâŠI donât know it seems almost a little bit luckyâŠ.â
The persistent skepticism always surprises me and I laugh.
âHow much more scientifically could we have done this? We went from a -5 to a positive 6. That shift would have occurred either way, and that much of a reality shift can ONLY result in a miracle. It will always, always appear to be a miracle no matter what happens. We donât know exactly what will happen but itâll be something amazing.â
Then I have my own contraction, listening to the incredible potency of my own words and feeling just mind-blown at how easy it really is.
âWhy did this happen?â He asked
âBecause you were trained that you are a âbadâ boy, and so your self-punishment blinds you to the truth of your power. You believe you arenât trustworthy and so you manufacture a reality which matches that.â
âWow thatâs trueâ, he says in amazement
Then, the next part really shocked me.
He picks up his phone and leaves a message for the client in Dutch.
âI told him we lost the footage, I didnât tell him the next part yet. Weâll see what he says before I tell him what happened. Okay just watchingâŠ.yes he listened to the message now. Okay yes. He says he has no words right now. Hmm, this isnât good. I better call him. No answer, hmm okay. Hmm.â
âAlright, so how do you feel now?â I asked. âYou felt you needed to be the bad boy anyway, even when nothing negative happened you created the drama because thatâs what would have happened anyway. And now heâs lost trust in you anyway, which is what you believed was supposed to happen.â
âI better send him a message.â
The client responds âWow thank you, I was about to have a heart attack.â
I finish off by saying âWe can see that thereâs a deeper level of self-forgiveness work to dive into, but at least you can see how directly it affects our day to day reality even if itâs invisible.â
I had to immediately write this story down in order to anchor this experience. And so it is.
P.S. An upcoming workshop on this topic will happen in Amsterdam August 11th 2019: https://www.facebook.com/events/702417296858663/
