Allowing Divine Intervention


Richard Dotts - 2014
    It does not help that ancient religious texts have portrayed “miracles” as extraordinary events beyond the comprehension of the average person.In his latest book Allowing Divine Intervention, Richard Dotts explains how miracles and divine interventions are not reserved for the select few, but can instead be experienced by anyone willing to change their current perceptions of reality. Instead of writing another book filled with stories of other people’s miracles and tales of divine intervention which may make good bedtime reading but be of little practical help, Dotts shares the simple steps one needs to follow to experience miracles in their own lives. Miracles are deeply personal affairs that can occur on a regular basis for anyone. The Universe is so ready to intervene on our behalf that when such interventions occur, their meanings will be instantly made known and clear to us at a very deep level. Therefore, Dotts teaches that we should never use what other people’s experiences to set expectations of our own. Trying to “replicate” someone else’s “miracles” is thus a recipe for disappointment. Perhaps the most practice-oriented book ever written by Richard Dotts, Allowing Divine Intervention draws on Dotts’ own experiences, including his own struggles with depression and conflicts, and the lessons he has learnt from them. Dotts uses everyday anecdotes to explain: * How to deal with pressing problems in your life as they occur in a spiritual way* The 3-step approach to asking for divine intervention, no matter the outer circumstances or the issue* How to allow the Universe to “get through” to you with creative insights, solutions and ideas that the greatest thinkers and artists in our generation often speak of* Is it alright to ask the Universe to fulfill your “small” requests?* One kind of requests you should never ask the Universe for* What are synchronicities (a concept coined by Carl Jung), and how to allow more meaningful synchronicities in your life* The Quantum Physics “observer” effect, and how it relates to a key principle with regards to creating miracles in your life* Why you should "dial" 955 whenever you need a divine intervention, and not 911! (Understanding the 95-5 code is the fastest way to allow divine interventions into your life)And more…
