absolute dominion, as taught in all the scriptures of the world, is
true not of physical man, but of _spiritual man_. There are many
animals, for example, larger and stronger, over which from a physical
standpoint he would not have dominion, but he can gain supremacy over
even these by calling into activity the higher mental, psychic, and
spiritual forces with which he is endowed.

Whatever can't be done in the physical can be done in the spiritual.
And in direct proportion as a man recognizes himself as spirit, and
lives accordingly, is he able to transcend in power the man who
recognizes himself merely as material. All the sacred literature of
the world is teeming with examples of what we call miracles. They are
not confined to any particular times or places. There is no age of
miracles in distinction from any other period that may be an age of
miracles. Whatever has been done in the world's history can be done
again through the operation of the same laws and forces. These
miracles were performed not by those who were more than men, but by
those who through the recognition of their oneness with God became
God-men, so that the higher forces and powers worked through them.

For what, let us ask, is a miracle? Is it something supernatural?
Supernatural only in the sense of being above the natural, or rather,
above that which is natural to man in his ordinary state. A miracle is
nothing more nor less than this. One who has come into a knowledge of
his true identity, of his oneness with the all-pervading Wisdom and
Power, thus makes it possible for laws higher than the ordinary mind
knows of to be revealed to him. These laws he makes use of; the people
see the results, and by virtue of their own limitations, call them
miracles and speak of the person who performs these apparently
supernatural works as a supernatural being. But they as supernatural
beings could themselves perform these supernatural works if they would
open themselves to the recognition of the same laws, and consequently
to the realization of the same possibilities and powers. And let us
also remember that the supernatural of yesterday becomes, as in the
process of evolution we advance from the lower to the higher, from the
more material to the more spiritual, the common and the natural of
today, and what seems to be the supernatural of today becomes in the
same way the natural of tomorrow, and so on through the ages. Yes, it
is the God-man who
