During this second article within the series across the "miracle" along with the "mind," we'll most likely continue our discussion of spiritual specialness as someone being selected by God to complete His work without recognizing it is actually the ego. Within The Course in Miracles (ACIM), many link just like a Course teacher of God with being miracle-minded simply within several religions with selected spiritual leaders as being a pastors, ministers and clergymen, etc. Within the first article on spiritual specialness, we incorporated an estimate by Kenneth Wapnick that, "Love is quiet and need not make assertions."
