I will admit that I am one of those people who chalk miracles up to the Divine. I am very Spiritual. It is part of how I was raised - at first "in the church," and then, after I'd moved out, it was within my own indigenous culture where I found The Goddess.
I have always paid attention to the patterns of peoples' lives. I have done so because by watching their patterns, I was able to help them think about the last time that something that was happening also might have happened at a time in their lives in the past. While I understand that patternicity in the manner that it has been written about is not the same thing. It could, I think and according to my own opinion, fall into that same area but not when we are talking about life events versus miraculous events.
I found it very interesting the way that it was explained in that, we wait for miracles, and then when we stop waiting, they happen. While we wait for them to happen, many of us are praying for the outcome that we envision in our minds and when what we see in our minds does not happen in our waking lives we get upset. The way that we can lookout for these miracles is to do as the readings have suggested and open our awareness to see what we cannot see right away. If our awareness is not as open as it could be, we cannot look for the nuances and the subtleties that often times are part of the thing that we want to happen or that we are praying for to see happen.
Mathematically, miracles happen at the rate of one per every million "non-miraculous" events, and if we are seeing, in total, an average of one million events in our lives every month, and there is the possibility of each human being on the planet experiencing one miraculous happening per month, it would pay for us each and all to remain aware and if we are not opened in our awareness, to open it up some and see what stands out more than anything else. I like to do this with some of the abuse survivors I work with, many of them men, by teaching them how to remain aware of the words they hear that are being spoken to them by their abusive mates, regardless if they are male for female, because they will find, through their awareness, what it is that the other person is really saying to them. I also teach them that if they were to pay better attention, not just to the emotions backing the words, but also to the frequency of how many times they hear that word every time they hear it and then try to average it all out, they will find that their abuser has a pattern that he or she follows, and in that pattern, they will find their way out of the situation.
There are many people who want to tell us that miracles are not real, that they are happenstance and that it is only the lucky who are privy to them. I find that mathematically, and according to the books I have just finished reading, we are all privy to them, just at different intervals. We are all to expect great things, we are told, upon entrance into this lifetime. When something bad happens to us, we are more inclined to expect the bad things, so we pay attention to when those things happen and less attention to the possibility that the good things will also happen. If we could train our thinking to be open to the balance that would be automatic should we also consider that even though it might be literally a "one in a million" chance for us to "experience the Divine" (my language), we would be able to not so much pinpoint when our miracles would happen, but rather, when we would be able to expect a change or a shift in the greater energy which surrounds us in terms of waiting for miracles to happen.
