William T. Thetford

Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them.

Miracles are habits and should be involuntary. They should not be under conscious control.

Prayer is the medium of miracles. Prayer is the natural communication of the created with the Creator. Through prayer love is received, and through miracles love is expressed

Miracles are teaching devices for demonstrating that it is more blessed to give than to receive. They simultaneously increase the strength of the giver and supply strength to the receiver.

Miracles make minds one in God. They depend on cooperation because the Sonship is the sum of all the Souls God created. Miracles therefore rest on the laws of eternity, not of time

Miracles are natural expressions of total forgiveness. Through miracles, man accepts God’s forgiveness by extending it to others

Miracles rearrange perception and place the levels of perception in true perspective. This heals at all levels because sickness comes from confusing the levels.

Only eternity is real. Why not use the illusion of time constructively?

The word “sin” should be changed to “lack of love” because “sin” is a man-made word with threat connotations which he made up himself. No real threat is involved anywhere. Nothing is gained by frightening yourselves, and it is very destructive to do so.

You are the work of God, and His work is wholly lovable and wholly loving. This is how a man must think of himself in his heart because this is what he is.
