In Creating Miracles, Carolyn Miller explores miracles in people’s lives. In over 50 accounts of real experiences, she describes how ordinary people spontaneously entered altered states of consciousness and positively affected sometimes life-threatening events. Drawing on her scientific background as an experimental psychologist, she analyzes the common patterns in these situations as well as the skepticism with which these stories might be received. Part one of Creating Miracles spotlights "ordinary" miracles, where average people respond to extraordinary circumstances. Part two explains how to create the personal conditions that are needed for a miracle to occur. Miller shows the importance of being able to tap into intuition (the inner divine guide) as well as disarming the ego in bringing a person into a state of miracle readiness. A handy "Things to Think About" section at the end of each chapter highlights the chapter’s most important points.
