So true. I have noticed it. Exactly as you say. And often comment on it end of day to my husband. and we are in London, a town everyone has down as unfriendly, in a hurry, brusque. Not so! Connection is everywhere, since COVID ...the postman, the bakery, the lady at the bus stop, the Uber driver, the man with the dog in the woods, the place where I get my papaya. Everywhere. Mini miracles. Matthias desmet got me through the pandemic with his notion that we don't have to persuade anyone, or argue a case but instead just to act what we believe in, just live a state of NOT being afraid and it will spread. I actually believe it was the minority millions of us who did that, that got the apparatus to be dismantled as it was..temporarily maybe, and people like you helped us to do that, live like we feel..without a sense of scarcity, or fear, and just to be grateful, and free and it's true I do mostly have wonder for the way people go about their lives, mostly generously, it cannot help but create the bigger miracle

Please keep making cases! That's the storytelling of miracles still coming. That's the stepping outside of the familiar narrative. That's the window into yet unknown, but possible. That's how we dream a new reality into being by opening up our minds and hearts to the new horizons. Don't stop. You are the Light of the new era.

we laughed so hard at the collar! And I receive the new story of people becoming kinder. In fact, it is not that new, I have told it several times, that people were kinder during the pandemic, looking after neighbours that before they had no contact with. The first time I received this story was 1979 during the oil crisis. No private cars were allowed in Germany, and at the same time there had been a heavy snowfall. People were using sleighs to transport their groceries. Others were skying through town. Instead of panic, there was joy.

So I am open for the miracle of world peace.

Thank you Charles, for your transparency. For your willingness to change habits that no longer serves. You are a beacon in turbulent times.

Yes! Im so glad to hear you say this because I also have noticed that people are kinder and nicer and eager to connect even for a fleeting moment, and I have been doing the same. For me it is the only way to fight the horrors I see daily on my phone, a way to state my humanness. Empathy, kindness and gentleness are contagious!

Thank you so much, Charles. What a great reminder and as I was listening to this, I was looking at a note on my wall saying “I ask for experiencing and witnessing MIRACLES. I allow for miracles to be a regular experience in my life.” This note is from a year and a half ago and I have experienced several miracles since then and one big one, especially where the odds were clearly against the outcome.

I was told it’s the frequency in which you operate that allows for these things to happen around me and within me. Knowing that I still need the reminder that helps me decide that I want to be operating at this higher frequency, that I am inviting miracles.

I personally have find holding prayers with one or two other people really helps in the process of manifesting miracles. I remember how in Tamera for the global change maker conference wet had to decide whether to go travel as an activist and participate in an aerial art piece against Lithium Mining or stay in the village and good the ground through prayer. Gigi coyle was there too. It was hard for me to decide which group to be in. Both parts spoke strongly. The whole stay in Tamera woke me up to the power of prayer again.

Also, I found the contact with the US border officers and security over the past 14 years has become very human, maybe it’s because I always see them as a fellow human vs an authority figure.

Jennie, I also liked what Charles said. I especially liked your reply, "I found the contact with the US border officers and security over the past 14 years has become very human, maybe it’s because I always see them as a fellow human vs an authority figure." I would add, "If we don't go looking for Enemies, we more than likely never find them!"

Hahaha!! “Electric shock collar…every time I start to make a case for something”… humorous and yet a real insight into the plight of the revealed inquiry…. miracles seem immediate, yet most change is glacial (used to mean some thing slow moving). When we imagine something different and build a case or confidence in its hypothesis and potential, it feels immediate. When its evidence doesn’t reveal itself or is challenged, we return to the faults in our thinking or others thinking, as getting in the way. It’s a terribly personal affront to lose momentum with a vision. But it’s not personal at all. Back to miracles, or magic or being present to that which is always there but goes mostly unnoticed… change is carried on the river that always has origin and is always in motion. Observation is the first principle of perspective.

That's an especially dystopian way to use AI.... Training it to give you an electric shock when you overstep your boundary...
