These phenomenom are called the Stigmata.  I have only ever seen those of Catholic faith claim to experience Stigmata.\n\nMany times they can be discounted.\n\nPersonally, I don't believe it to be of God.  It may be real, but not for spiritual reasons.  Because when these things happen people tend to flock around these people or places where "miracles" supposedly happen.  I think when that happens they are losing their focus on God and putting it on those who are "inflicted".\n\nI mean when you think about it, who does it happen to?  Those who already believe.  Who comes to see it?  Usually those who already believe.  Why would God need to reveal himself to believers in that way?  Why wouldn't those experiences or miracles be saved to prove to those who are not believers????\n\nReal or not, I have no conviction that it is of God.  I could be wrong.  But nothing within my being says it is.

I never saw one but I felt one.\n\nSeveral years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away. \n\nWhile driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.\n\nThree days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to. \n\nI feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.\nDuring the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible. \n\nI can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.\n\n I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings. \n\nYour brother don

I have seen the divine happen.  I have seen a drunk who hated people turn his whole life over after the divine saving power of Jesus Christ touched his life.  There is no greater miracle that can be seen than see a soul that is damned to hell be brought to the light through the shed blood of the Saviour.  see if you need that miracle too: www.needgod.com

I once saw a one legged witch turn a storm.\n\nMy first ritual, we were all comfortable throughout the ritual, but the instant the ritual ended, we realized that the room was cold. The heat hadn't been on and the whole time and it was spring equinox.\n\nI do spiritual healing with singing bowls. I play the bowl in someone's hand, and feel the vibrations as they extend through the person, and can tell them where the vibrations are and what they're doing.\n\nI used to work with a Reiki master who could put healing energy into people and tell people many details about their lives while we were doing our energy work. Very specific things\n\nI have this one singing bowl which plays differently, responding to the place where it's played, or what chakra it's played on. I use it to locate blockages for spiritual healing. I also used it to find the perfect place to set up my tent the first time I camped in Kansas. One night the wind ripped through the camp. By morning, just about every tent had blown over except mine.\n\nFor a while, a friend and I maintained a karmic connection through an object which was divided and each of us kept half, and sometimes I would smell something, and call her up, and it was exactly what she was smelling.\n"Did you just make cookies?"\n"Was the dog just breathing in your face?"\n"Did you just disinfect something?"\n\nAs a child the chandelier used to swing from side to side, and the radio would turn on by itself in the middle of the night.\n\nOne time on a camping trip I was walking back from the bathrooms at that moment right between day and night and I saw someone walk across the front of the site and stop behind a tree. So I figure one of the people is going to jump out and try to surprise me, so I pull out my flashlight, walk up to the tree, turn on the light, and there's no one there.\n\nOne time I was alone in a house, and I felt a presence. I looked at a mobile hanging motionless, and said, "If there is anyone else here, make the mobile spin." The next moment, the mobile began to spin.\n\nOne time I was driving into Ponca State Park to set up a large camping gathering, and the sides of the road were lined with spirits. All standing there, clearly visible to everyone, calmly welcoming us back.\n\nOn another camping trip, we felt a spirit near the bon-fire. We had a ring of 40 tiki-torches around the bonfire. It was a still and windless night, but all the tiki flames near the spirit bent in. One of the people in the circle had a fancy camera. After the campout she went to get the film developed, and all the photos from before the visitor turned out, but after that all the film was blank. She took the camera in to be repaired. The repairman asked if she'd been in a nuclear power plant. All the innards were fried from electromagnetism\n\nMy grandmother died while my niece was in utero. After my niece was born, she would look up at areas where no one was standing, and laugh and giggle. We all knew that she was looking at gramma, so we never showed her any pictures. Finally, at about a year old, she could speak, and my sister showed her the family photo album. My niece picked out her photo and said, "That's Old Gramma."\n\nOne time, on a camping trip, it was an especially magickal night. At some point, everyone in the camp noticed that something was missing, including a necklace from around one woman's neck. The area where we were camping was separate from any other areas and so no one came into the area. Suspecting activity of the Fae, everyone put out offerings, except for the woman who lost her necklace. She cursed the fairies. The next morning, everything was returned except the necklace. To this day, the necklace has never been found.\n\nOn another camping trip, I put my tent right in the middle of a natural faery ring. When I camp, I always have a flashlight with me at all times. The only place I could have lost i

I have found that with God, all things are possible. Don't let your earthly mind get caught up in earthly thoughts. Explain how a mother can lift a car with her baby under it. Or spontaneous combustion.

Do you believe in miracles?

The famous Ganesha episode drinking the milk was the biggest miracle of all the times.\n\n\nMiracles are not to be. No human being on earth can create a miracle. It can never happen. Yes, some people... some renowned Saints while pursuing their Spiritual career gain some Tantric powers which helps them healing the needy.\n\nIt so happened a poor man turned up in presence of Bhagwan Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism and asked him for help. In his hands was the dead body of his young son. He begged of Bhagwan Mahavira to put back life into his son. Mahavira point blank refused... he stated he does not have the power to put life into someone... neither it is possible for any other human being to do so. Neither he could perform even a single miracle.\n\n\nHe repeatedly emphasized that every human being has the power within to invoke the positive energy of the Cosmos. This only happens when we develop a positive attitude towards life. This is practically what is being done in Reiki. Summing up in Reiki, one is taught to invoke the positive energy source and use it for curing the defective area of the body. It is like chanelising all the power within the means of human being towards a particular area as happens in the case of a dam.\n\nIn any hydroelectric project the principal means of generating energy is... a huge quantity of water is stored in a lake and this raw water is made to stand for a while. After the sedimentation of the particles floating in the water has occurred... the clear water is passed through tunnels, the starting point of which is located on a much higher platform than the outer end of the tunnel. This makes the water gush out with great pressure. This water is made to pass through a turbine before it reaches the outer end. The rotation of the turbine generates electricity.\n\n\nMere channelising of water through a tunnel which has a very steep slope and keeping a turbine in the path of the water generates the requisite energy... similarly if we need to heal our body... we need to concentrate all the positive energies which either exist in the body or can be invoked from the mighty reservoir of Cosmos and directed towards a particular goal. This goal can be healing the ailing body or even pursuing a higher goal in life.\n\nIf we look at the matter deeply... the student who comes first in the class and the student who comes last... there is not much difference except in their thinking. The one who comes first sincerely concentrates his total energies towards the desired goal of life. The one coming last has yet to find a definite goal in life. One who comes last fritters away his energy to no avail.\n\n\nWhenever we expect of a saint to perform a miracle... what actually happens is that the words of the saint inspires us and makes us concentrate our energies towards a particular goal. Sometimes, he gives a Mantra to be chanted many times... or explains logically how the desired results can be achieved. Repetition of Mantras results in invoking positive energy from the Cosmos.\n\nYou and your brother have surrounded your mental self by negative energies... both of you have a habit of thinking negative. You have to change your attitude towards life... you need to think broad... you just cannot continue being narrow-minded. The more we think bad of someone... the negative flow of energy reflects back upon us. With passage of time this negative energy accumulates and there comes a time when hell breaks loose... the body unable to sustain the negative flow of energy falls ill.

Marko F,\nYes. I have had at least one of those. It was before I became Christian, and I was above my body for a few seconds, I could see/sense my body a foot or two below my spiritual body. \n\nYou know, some people might come to some other conclusion, but what it did for me, after I found out what the f' it was, was that there was no longer any doubt for me that there was a spirit living in me, my spirit.\n\nSo without that major block (for some) out of the way, I could then attempt to find out what it all meant. If there was more to life than what we could normally see, how much more was out there, and was there a purpose to it all, or and order to it all?\n\nYears later I became convinced that IF the Bible was true, I could pray a prayer and recieve an acceptance from God, who would otherwise be against me. And so I tried it when I was alone, and that was a VERY eventful thing! I don't know if I was in my body or not, but I ended up in a place where things were different than the dark bedroom that I was in. And there were others there too. I think that it was heaven, and it was a large enough place, I couldn't see God, but the peace was perfect, and the others were doing whatever they set out to do (I think that it didn't have anything to do with me.) I was there to witness heaven, but I don't know why, though I certainly am thankful for it. Who wouldn't be? lol\n\nI had flying dreams too. They were more like the type of flying that is portrayed in Peter Pan. Where the trees below were at arms reach at times, and there were others with me, not that I knew them. I also don't know where we were going.\n\nBut I am so glad to have been a part of those experiences. \n\nI hope that helped you.

I don't think God is real, I know God is real because I had what they now call a Near-Death Experience (N.D.E.) at the age of 12 in 1972 that convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubt.  Since then, due to spiritual study and practice, I've had numerous Out-of-Body Experiences (O.B.E.s) in which I've actually been conscious of my spirit leaving my physical body.  I have a B.S. degree Magna Cum Laude, was a member of Outstanding College Students of America, a College-Bowl All Star (like "Jeopardy" except for college students), and was a professional journalist for many years.  Don't believe some of the misguided and egotistical scientists and college professors who believe and teach that this physical/material life is the proverbial "whole ball of wax," because to put it bluntly, "It ain't!"  God (The Divine, Source, etc.) does exist, and you are an immortal spiritual being having a temporary physical learning experience on the Earth.

Why, just the other day, on my way to Sunday school, to teach the cute little kids lies and fire and brimstone .. I noticed MY carnation was all wilted, on my suit jacket.\n\nIt MAY have been a sin, but I stopped at the widow Simpson's flower bed and got a new one out of the ground, and reincarnated myself!\n\nSo, Jim (Welcome back).. it IS possible, this re in carnation stuff.\n\nand there you are too .. so it MUST be true, since we all know miracles do not really happen!

A miracle is something that happens when God intervenes in the time-space continuum and defies natural laws and principles to bring about an occurrence unaccounted for in those laws and principles. A regular person cannot perform a miracle because a person is bound by the laws and principles of the time-space continuum.

Dear Friend,\n     I have experienced many miracles in the form of answers to prayers.  This is one such situation:\n     I was driving home from work one evening on very cold, icy roads.  I lived approximately 30 miles out of town, and the way home was over open, country roads.  I was driving a small Toyota Tercel.  There were no other cars on the road, and the moon was bright.  I was not paying much attention to the driving, and I was probably driving faster than I should have been (approximately 50 mph).  Suddenly in the headlights, I saw two deer standing, head-to-head, in the middle of the road.  One deer completely blocked the left side of the highway.  The other deer completely blocked the right side of the highway. They were standing slightly apart, so that there was a very small space between them.  \n     I knew that it would be disasterous to use the brakes, because the car would lose control, spin on the ice, and smash into the deer.  I also knew that if I kept the car pointed straight ahead, the deer would most likely smash through the windshield and cause severe damage and injury.  Even if the deer went under the car at the time of impact, the car would spin out of control on the icy road, and would wreck.  \n     I did not have time to pray.  I just called out, "Jesus!!!" and closed my eyes.  I gripped the steering wheel tightly, and I waited for the impact, but I only felt the car shift slightly to the right and then to the left.  It was very strange, because I did not turn the steering wheel myself, and I did not feel the steering wheel turn, only the wheels.  After this slight shift from side to side, the car continued speeding down the road.  When I finally opened my eyes, I could no longer see the deer in the road ahead of me.  I looked in the rearview mirror and the deer were behind me, still standing in the middle of the road.  I was stunned, and very, very humbled.  I just sang praises to God for the rest of the way home.  \n     I have been told that the name of "Jesus" means "God with us."  It is a prayer in itself, and that is why we should never use this name to swear or dishonor God.  Many times, people do not have time to pray, and the name of Jesus alone is a prayer that will be heard in Heaven.\n     Albert Einstein once said, "Either your life is filled with miracles, or it has none."  What do you think he meant by that???  When you look around at nature, at the stars, at the blue sky, do ever just say to yourself, "WOW....!!!! This is AMAZING! This is MIRACULOUS!!"  Have you ever wondered how your heart can keep beating steadily and consistently for years and years??? Isn't that miraculous?  Isn't it indisputably miraculous???  Unfortunately, I believe that many people lose sight of the miracle and beauty of life that is all around us!  How tragic!!!  \n      If you seek God with all your heart and mind, He will show you incredible beauty.  You will witness His miracles, and rest in His awesome power.  Trust me, you will not be disappointed!!!

Yes.  It can also be a very spiritual experience.  They are, after all, God's creatures.

I had this experience. I was exorcised, no joke. But my faith in God never diminished after that.

I tried to do the same thing. It never worked. After I gave up this happened to me.\n\n\nSeveral years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away. \n\nWhile driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.\n\nThree days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to. \n\nI feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.\nDuring the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible. \n\nI can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.\n\n I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings. \n\nYour brother don
