Demystifying
the Miraculous
Beginning at the Beginning
The origins of this series of articles
are found in my experiences in
private practice for 35 years. I
observe people’s actions and words
during their day to day lives – we,
as humans, tend to trundle along,
mesmerized by the external world,
lulled into a trance, perfunctory in
our behaviors of watching mindless
drivel projected onto screens “out
there”, outside of ourselves, eating
the foods that look SO DELICIOUS on
those screens, taking the drugs that
promise relief from our aches and
pains, fears and worries, wearing
the clothes that the beautiful
airbrushed people wear, thinking the
thoughts that the talking heads tell
us to think. Then, one day, the crisis
comes. A diagnosis. An injury. An
emotional loss, death, divorce, or
happens to us that catapults us into
looking for, searching for, hoping
and praying for a “miracle” to set us
free, to return us to the old familiar
way of being. I’ve heard it thousands
of times: “I need a miracle!”
STOP! Just like the title of a country
conditioned now to look outside
look outwardly when the body falls
apart and when our life crumbles

around us. The answer is NOT out
there. The answer is hidden within
the 100 trillion cells that make
up your body, each one of them
carrying coiled strands of DNA that
can direct and conduct the process
of healing and regeneration when
properly nurtured and supported,
In considering where to start our
discussion on demystifying the
miraculous, it seemed best to
start at the beginning! How did
YOU get started in this life? Unless
you were conceived through in
vitro fertilization or some process
procreation, there was a journey of
monumental proportions to which
you have probably never given
much thought. Indeed, YOU came
into being as a result of the union
of the smallest cell in the human
body, one male spermatozoon, and
the largest cell in the human body,
the female egg or ovum. No news
there! However, the mechanism
which produced that outcome, is
nothing short of miraculous.
Horace Mann, Massachusetts
Senator, lawyer and American
education reformer from the
1800’s is famous for this quote:
Since you’re reading this article,

feel inadequate or unsure, maybe
incapable of rising to the occasion.
Possibly you are too shy or reticent
to move forward, feeling like the
odds are stacked against you.
Maybe you’ve even bought a
Florida Lotto ticket in hopes of
boost that will let you bring your
own unique contribution to the
world. Have you noticed on the
back of the ticket what the odds
of winning are? The answer is 1
in 22,957,480. Do you feel like the
odds are always against you? Does
it sometimes feel like the odds are
greater than the 23 million to one
odds of winning the Lotto? Is your
perception of these daunting odds
stopping you from bringing that gift,
that victory, forward and making a
contribution? Would you be willing
to compete and win out against,
not 23 million others, but 60 or 70
million others in climbing to the top
of a mountain and down into the
deep crater at the top, across 3 to
4 miles of rugged terrain to deliver
your special package of VICTORY to
Humanity? Would you? Could you?
