Eric Butterworth Lending Library
CD of the Week:
The "Miracle Trap" (CD #73)
Eric Butterworth
In this weekly Avery Fisher Hall Service, Eric makes the following points:
- By definition, a miracle is an abrogation or a violation of the laws of nature.
- Scientists don't discover the laws of nature, they invent them. So-called laws of nature are mere descriptions of what has happened in the past and what we have reason to believe will occur sometime in the future.
- As things change, as we get new insights into the universe, we invent new laws to cover them, to cover our descriptions.
- If the Biblical account of Jesus' "miracles" is literally true, then there are fundamentals of nature involved of which we're not yet aware.
- Jesus knew and practiced the healing art because he understood the spiritual laws covering healing. Jesus was the Christ Principle in full expression.
- Jesus said: "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also and greater works than me shall he do." When Jesus says "believeth on me," He is talking about that consciousness which He identified with.
- In some way you have participated in the problems of your life and you must participate in the solution. Paul says, "Be ye transformed by the renewing of our mind." It happened in your consciousness and it must be changed in your consciousness.
- So I say, don't expect a miracle. Expecting a miracle is putting the whole weight of your consciousness on the side of belief of a universe of caprice. Your faith is the key to the kingdom of the power within you to apply spiritual laws that transcend human limitation.(Article submitted by Pete Haugk)
All 97 CD's are available for lending on a Love Offering basis in our Compassionate Listening Room at Unity Spiritual Center. Check out the CD you want on the clipboard form by signing your name, the date you borrowed the CD and when you return it, just add the date you returned it.
