SUMMARY
The movement from ordinary wanting to miracle is a shift from mental images and impatience to a sober presence in the body. By isolating and inhabiting the pure feeling of what is most deeply wanted—without attaching a person, label, or story—the being aligns with the inevitable will. This alignment is not a striving but a recognition: the feeling alone is real and becomes the quiet cause of outward fulfilment. Barry traces the maturation of desire: surface wanting subsides into longing, which softens into 'sweet longing,' and, held long enough, flowers as love—one's own real nature. From that love, right people, surroundings, and place arrive without strain. He contrasts being on public display with living a consistent inner equilibrium, and extends the practice into daily discipline: give up blame and impatience at once, and let life itself be the monastery where suppression is unnecessary because presence is awake.
