CIM Lessons 208-214 and Miracles Principle # 31

Miracles Principle # 31: “Miracles should inspire gratitude, not awe. You should thank God for what you really are. The children of God are holy and the miracle honors their holiness, which can be hidden but never lost.” The ego teaches that the holiness of Christ, the holiness of Who we really are, has been lost because of our “sins.” But all that’s really happened is that we’ve fallen “asleep” and “covered” our holiness with veils of darkness. We’ve come to believe that the dream is reality and that Reality is the dream. The truth about us, which is the fact that we are holy, can be hidden by our egos, but it can never be lost. The miracle shows us the veil of evil is but a cry for help and for love—a cry to remember Who and What we really are.

Lessons 208-214 are all review lessons and so will not be discussed in detail here. The theme of these lessons, again, is that our reality is not our physical existence.
