God Does Not Create Miracles -- You Do!

This book like alot of these books were like a drink of water for me. I was raised Jehovah's Witness but witnessed and was subjected to alot and I mean ALOT of hypocrisy, dishonesty, and vile activity by "witnesses"...so, "organized" religion in general hadn't really held a strong place within me or made any real difference in my life. If anything it did more harm than good to my perspective on life and living in my own humble opinion. So, this book opened my eyes and enlighened me. I grew up with people throwing up their hands at their responsibilities that their own choices in life would hand right back to them only to hear them say time and time again "oh God will take care of it". Shoving their responsbilities off on "God". I'll never forget the day realizing that WE as human beings each one of us is responsible for making things happen...WE ARE! And if we dont do it no one else will. I know that may sound primative but that's the environment that I was raised in. This book helped me along the way. If you're anything like me, or like I was then I would definitely recommend it.

This is one of several books I have read that were written by Yehuda Berg. (The First was "The 72 Names of God," which I found to be very illuminating.) The primary theme that I came away with is that we have the power to accomplish virtually anything. If we "lock hands" with God through love and the purity of intention, we can literally move mountains.

If you're completely convinced that the notion of learning how to live a truly miraculous life is utter non-sense, then don't bother to read this book. It's not designed to convince skeptics of a point of view that falls entirely outside their current thinking. Which makes sense to me ... intellect alone can't lead you beyond the realm of what intellect already understands is possible. Logic proceeds from assumptions, and if your assumptions preclude the miraculous, logic alone can't change that. Something has to happen to you to break you out of the pattern of your current thinking ... you have to EXPERIENCE something that causes you to call into question what you believe is and isn't possible ... an experience that leads you to change or at least reconsider your assumptions. This book (and I think wisely so) isn't designed to do that. LIFE is designed to do that. :) On the other hand, if your personal life's experience has already lead you to either suspect, believe or KNOW that miraculous living is and always has been our destiny as human beings ... but you're not quite sure HOW to go about experiencing miraculous living yourself, this may just be the perfect book for you, as it was for me. As a Christian, I was raised to believe that miracles were possible. Jesus teaches that those who come after him will perform greater miracles than his. And yet, I didn't see those miracles happening around me, either to me or to anyone I knew or heard about. How was it that we justified believing in a set of spiritual principles that didn't seem to actually work in our day to day lives? Like most people, I put this and questions like it on the shelf until I reached the age of 39 and my own life had run into a wall of frustration and disappointment. Fed up with the limitations of my life, deep insid, I felt SURE there MUST be a way that we could learn to tap into the miraculous potential I felt sure was ours and experience the full "wonderfulness" that I felt sure life had to offer ... but I had no idea HOW to tap into this potential. This began a quest for me ... a quest into the parts of Christian, Hindu, Buddhist and New Age mystical teaching that seemed the most "real" to me ... the parts that just made sense to my heart and mind as I read them. As I detected a pattern of similarity across all these teachings and began to apply what I saw to my day to day life, I began to see dramatic changes taking place, even to the point of experiencing things I considered miracles ... sudden, complete and permanent reversals of long standing "problems" that years or decades of conventional effort had failed to change in any significant way. I became convinced by my own personal experience ... miracles are real. Things you thought could never be ... happen. Things you thought you'd never escape ... melt away. Suddenly ... completely ... permanently. The problem for me, by the time I reached 43, wasn't that I was unsure whether or not we co

I have noticed that Mr. Berg's works either get 5 stars, or 1 Stars and not much in between. I personally enjoy Mr. Berg's work because it challenges you to think about life, living, religion and meaning from a different perspective. Having said that, Mr. Berg does not seem too concerned about teaching you how to read Hebrew, or the historic culture and customs, and the various levels of meaning embedded within the language - of which could take several lifetimes of university level study to get into. Nope, Mr. Berg seems to be focused on "Life Application" of applying ancient interpretations that were forbidden, banned, kept from the general masses. Mr. Berg's revelations are nothing less than ancient mystery school magickal teachings. This is lost on those wrapped up in the legalistic and insane surface meanings of biblical "truth" which is not truth but pure and utter deception filled with contradictory garbage that demands obediance, blind faith in an angery, jealous and vengeful male "god" that demands blood sacrifices and other abominational behaviors. Any "thinking" human being - when allowed to ponder Deity, God, Goddess, religous histories and the history of humanity - once given freedom of thought - starts waking up. Mr. Berg - disturbes people into thinking differently - and what he has to say - resonates within the heart and spirit of those looking to transform their lives. Does it work? Is it a "religion"? The first "Law" of Mr. Berg's Kabbalah training (101) free at his website - "Don't believe anything you read or that you hear - without first testing it to see if it works - if it doesn't work, why bother and waste your time?" I think - that really is the bottom line. This is "ancient" magickal wisdom brought forth out of Egypt - you know - that now proven Mono-Theistic Warrior Cult that left Egypt after an Egyption Civil war. The "Torah" or "Bible" as code makes sense, because reading it "literally" is insane and many have spent their life times trying to "reason" out with "logic" and explain away, go to war and kill over it's meanings, rights, discriminations and doctrines - which lead to another command and control, fear based religion based on human beings being "less than" which became Christianity. Want to be disturbed into perhaps most of what you may have thought about "God" may have been a great big manipulative lie to control the "masses"? Read Mr. Berg's stuff, you'll be disturbed, but then again, you may "wake up" to some things that will work in your life, and bring you peace within. But that is your journey - you can go learn Hebrew - get caught up in the legalistic reasoning approaches to trying to study an ancienty society - but really, are you not simply interested in applying something new to your life to see if "it works?" and if so - learn more about "what works?". Want to know what's funny? If you erase all you know and think you know about religions, history and "god" and start looking f

This has got to be one of the best books I have read. A lot of questions I had were answered. Would recommend this book very highly to those studying Kabbalah.
