The common understanding of miracles is that they are special, extraordinary events often reserved for special people either now or in history. I sat quietly before writing this and asked if there was a better word than miracles to describe what they really are, and the word “naturcles” came to thought. I’ve come to see that miracles are natural in that they are available to us every single moment.
We don’t need special gifts or powers to experience naturcles; we just need to know where to look for them and learn how to allow them. And to say that they are only bestowed upon a select few would be like saying only a select few can have sunlight or that 2+2 only equals 4 for some people.
I was going to post this yesterday but felt I needed to sit quietly more as I wasn’t sure what to share or how much to share. It came to me very early this morning to share one of my experiences. This is not a formula, though; the experience was inspired in the moment.
I was passing through town and stayed at my dad’s house for a couple of nights. Lying in bed, I found myself pining for the comforter on my bed a couple of hundred miles away.
“What am I really desiring here?” I thought as I was lying there. At this point, I had learned enough to know that there were no “little” naturcles or “big” ones; that the desire for this comforter was just as much an opportunity to see the Truth as any other.
Very quickly, the idea came that what I really wanted was Comfort. So I put that physical comforter completely aside in my mind, got quiet, and began to contemplate the concept of Comfort deeply. Wanting or desiring something implies not having it, so I listened for what I already had.
“I will never leave you comfortless,” filled my thought. I then remembered a lecture I had attended where I learned that the word “never” is a triple-negative in the Aramaic language of The Bible. So the literal translation would be, “I will never, not ever, no never leave you comfortless.”
As I pondered this, I understood that this meant there could not be a time in the past, now, or in the future when Comfort could be absent, and what is not absent, must already be mine. No matter how it might ever look or feel, the idea of comfortlessness can’t be true; I cannot always have comfort and ever be without it. I felt a sense of deep peace, and, well, comfort.
At that moment, I heard a knock at the front door. When I opened it, my friend that I lived with (and who I thought was still a couple of hundred miles away) was standing in front of me, holding my comforter. “I thought you might want this,” he said.
I’ve experienced a lot of “naturcles” but am certainly still learning; I’ve seen broken bones and burns healed instantaneously. I’ve seen relationships heal, financial healing, and the healing of many physical conditions. I have been on the floor one moment, writhing in pain, and up and about without a care the next. I’ve experienced them with regards to the tiniest of problems to really big problems because when it comes to naturcles, small and big doesn’t matter. It’s like if you take 2 + 2=4 again, it doesn’t matter if it is 2,000,000 + 2,000,000 or 2 + 2; the principle is the same. It also doesn’t matter if it’s 4 oranges, 4 butterflies or any other thing, or a combination of things. The underlying principle doesn’t change.
The real joy in naturcles isn’t in the physical or material change, though; it’s in the inner awareness of Love and Peace that comes. These are like the wind that can’t be seen; the physical change is like the feather lifted by the wind. Likewise, the flower is evidence of the invisible Life force that causes all life. It’s not the flower that’s the miracle, but the Life that shines forth as the flower.
We usually don’t look for miracles as long as things go our way and things seem to be working out to our liking. For most of us, we don’t begin to look much deeper until we experience challenges, and all our attempts to work things out fail. This is when we usually start to dig deeper. This is when some of us go within to where naturcles live. They have always been there, but we were too busy looking outside of our Self to see them.
Life’s challenges are fertile soil to plant miracles not because they are any more available when we are deeply challenged, but, having exhausted all our efforts looking elsewhere, this is when we usually begin to look to where they are found. To find something, anything, we must first look where it is.
The experience of naturcles isn’t like some believe it is or how I thought it would be before I experienced them. I thought it would like some supernatural, otherworldly experience, but they feel very natural and quiet. It’s more like if you were to walk into a dimly lit room and you saw an intruder standing in the corner, and you become afraid, but when you turn on the light, you see it’s only a coat rack. You laugh at how silly your fear was and go on your way. The coat rack was never an intruder, in the darkness, it just looked like it was. Nothing changed except that the light revealed what was always there.
Miracles are when the light of understanding shines within us revealing what is already done and has always been ours. We are like fish swimming in the ocean looking for water, or even more accurately: We are like a wave on the ocean praying for water.
Love this!! ❤️ This is so beautiful, I do believe in Miracles or Naturcles. I am Praying for one for my dad who suffered a very severe stroke and is unable to speak or to swallow. I am Praying to God to help him to regain his ability to speak and to swallow. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
All of your posts always bring me so much Joy. Thank You for that!! ❤️

Thanks to God in Heaven and prayers she is celebrating her 15th Birthday today.Yes according to the Vet she still has a slow moving Cancer But God and His Goodness. Amen 🙏🏻
