Path less travelled: ^bows^ once again.
Peace: It is true.
('m going to piece my answer together as the week goes on)
Consider this:
"There are internal realizations always present within the whole self. There is comprehension of the meaning of all existence within each personality. The knowledge of multidimensional existence is not only in the background of your present conscious activity, but each man knows within himself that his conscious life is dependent upon a greater dimension of actuality. This greater dimension cannot be materialized in a three-dimensional system, yet the knowledge of this greater dimension floods outward from the innermost heart of being, and is projected outward, transforming all it touches. This flooding out imbues certain elements of the physical world with a brilliance and intensity far surpassing that usually known. Those touched by it are transformed , in your terms, into something more than they were. this inner knowledge attempts to find a place for itself within the physical landscape, to translate itself into physical terms. Each man, then, possesses this inner knowledge within himself, and to some extent or other he looks for confirmation of it in the world..."
With that in mind:
"Miracles reawaken the awareness that the spirit, not the body, is the alter of Truth."
The ancient Hebrews built their altars out of stones assembled in a 'secret' pattern...
The original meaning behind the designation of 'Jew' is 'precious stone of God (Jew-el)'...
The Apostle Paul said, " He that is a Jew is one inwardly.(in spirit)"
Christ said, "Where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them."
They were speaking in Gnostic terms...
The word 'Gnosis', meaning; knowledge (or Word of God), can be substituted for the word 'miracle' here.
