I think most varietals of Christianity could agree to a version of reality, which has fallen to sin, so decays over time. I am not trying to find fault in your cosmology, except for I don't see why the title line is about miracles.

Would you like to explain the process, here, or in-private?
I can't tell whether I'm putting you on the spot, or if it would be a good testimonial.

It does speak about altering time, a purpose of the miracle. It should be noted that many terms in the text are given meanings that are unconventional. Health is natural in the natural state it is implied, but the emphasis of the course is mind.
The miracle is about turning one back to the invulnerability, unity, of spirit, whether or not the fruits are visible.

To be honest I had no control or knowledge of the clothing items that spontaneously generated in my closet.. but I did have the faith for it to happen.
I do know that it can be controlled.. my father knows how to do this..
And about putting me on the spot.. well fire away I'm always listening and eager to get into discussions about interesting things.

Is it a realization that some kind of Mandela Effect or anomaly has happened, already?
You don't get to name what you want?
These people say it is 'already done':

I see it forming from some type of gestalt mechanism..
It had to blend in with the other objects..
The item you are creating or cocreating has a purpose.

This discussion, whilst interesting, has gone off topic. Any chance of moving it to a different thread?
