What if miracles were available for the asking? What if by applying an ancient spiritual formula, we could access divine intervention in ordinary reality, even in times of serious emergency? What if it were not even necessary to believe in God to attract a miracle? Dr. Carolyn Miller, a research scientist, investigates miracles through the exceptional stories of ordinary people who emerged unscathed from dangerous situations. The first scientific look at miracles, it includes a method for attracting miraculous experiences into your own life. Dr. Miller takes an unsentimental look at the stories of miracle workers who have survived accidents and assaults by entering into a serene, detached, and loving state of consciousness. In the face of grave danger, these people report a remarkable absence of fear even when they believe they are going to die, a peaceful acceptance of the inevitable, and an unusual expansion of time. The result of this state of consciousness is deliverance from danger. A student of metaphysics as well as a scientist, Miller explores the evidence for miracles, drawing on these amazing experiences. Dr. Miller is not trying to stretch our credulity to the breaking point. After noting dozens of awe-inspiring stores, she takes a rigorous look at the case for miracles from a scientific point of view. Her conclusions will startle believers and skeptics alike: Miracles are real, and accessing them requires only that we follow some clear and simple steps. No one can prove that miracles do not happen, and by looking at the phenomenon through the window of the most advanced scientific thinking today, they are easily explained. Part Two of Creating Miracles gives helpful ideas as to how we might consciously create miracles in our own lives.

I happened to be in a local Chapters bookstore one day and stumbled across this book, "Creating Miracles - A Practical Guide to Divine Intervention" by Carolyn Miller. When I first noticed it I thought that it would be simply another run-of-the-mill book filled with 'new-age' fodder and fluff. However, after leafing through the pages for a couple of moments, I became intrigued and purchased it.What I found did not disappoint me. The author tackles the subject of miracles - what they are, how they are created, and why some never seem to have them happen - with the objectivity of both a psychologist and believer of 'faith' combined. She manages to analyze and explain just how the inner workings of miracles come about, how to recognize them, and how to work upon bringing more miracles into one's own life. Filled with anecdotes and documented cases, along with a great sense of humor and humility, "Creating Miracles" is a book I would highly recommend. Interestingly, after reading one chapter that addressed a commonality among those who have experienced miracles in their lives, Miller noted that one thing all cases she related in her book had one thing in common...they all came to a point of surrender just before the miracle happened. She noted that a sense of peace came over each individual, despite the sometimes horrific events that were taking place at that moment. And as I read this I was taken back to a day in 1979 when, a week before my wedding, I almost drowned. I had been in a boat with my fiance and a friend at dusk, on a deserted lake. No lifejackets, not another soul around for miles, and our boat began to take on water at a steady rate. I couldn't swim a stroke, and at first panic set in as the two men tried to keep the boat from going under.
Not what you would expect from a book with "Miracles" in the title. Packed with well-told tales with surprising turns and endings that really hold you glued. Unusual, unexpected and dramatic events in the lives of many ordinary people in extraordinary situations. Under circumstances that seem to guarantee loss and tragedy, the miracles in this book are an unforseen turn of events that transforms the individual's threatened reality into one of love and tranquility, leaving everyone changed for the good. These miracles are created when one shifts their consciousness into a state of uncalled for unconditional love. The dangers averted include life-threatening accidents, illnesses, attacks by rapists, terrorists, serial killers, etc. This is a book of hope for everyone, that requires no belief in the supernatural or the miracles of myths. It teaches a technique for creating miracles in your own life that simply relies upon everyone's natural ability to respond with love. Dr. Miller's research shows that this method has been used throughout the ages by the wise and successful. I would have been satisfied reading this book for the many inspiring stories alone. These, in themselves, could constitute a separate heart-warming book about the transcendence of love and good, over all that darkens our world. However, the real surprise is that Dr. Miller is both an experimental and a clinical psychologist, who uses her research skills to critically examine alleged miracles. She is not just a teller of tales, a collector of pearls of inspiration, but a serious scientific investigator who wants to know the truth. Miller challenges and digs deep: Are these happenings coincidence? Mental aberrations? Psychotic or neurotic phenomena, self-hypnosis?
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO CREATE MIRACLES? Armed with a Ph.D. in experimental psychology, Carolyn Godschild Miller tackles some tricky issues in her fine book Creating Miracles: A Practical Guide to Divine Intervention. The book delivers a heaping plateful of inspiring and astounding true tales - deliverance from deadly dangers and personal attacks; synchronicities; healing by prayer, visualization and distant intention - the stories alone are worth the price of admission. Even if you don't believe in miracles as such, but prefer to view the "miraculous" as an unexplained facet of the natural world (as I do), you will find much in Dr. Miller's book to appreciate, enjoy, and use. An eye-opener as well as a heart-opener, this book shows that amazingly good outcomes are possible in even the most hopeless-looking situations. Defining a miracle as "an instance in which a supernatural power interferes in the natural world," Miller says, "the actual miracle is not the healed body or the peaceful outcome to a dangerous situation. It is the unconditionally loving state of mind that allows such things to happen." The peaceful, loving, assured state of mind associated with meditation is felt to be the catalyst for miracles. In this, the author follows the spiritual curriculum of A Course in Miracles. Dr. Miller is an astute writer, fluid and user-friendly, with an intriguing sense of humor. Her engaging accounts of purportedly miraculous events provide a punch that deflates defenses and opens the imagination - wide. Stories and chapters in Creating Miracles brought joyful tears to my eyes, a warm expansion to my heart, and a sense of empowerment and determination to my intellect.
