Not that it matters whether it is a Christian miracle, a
spontaneous remission (medical miracle), a completely
inexplicable distribution, a yogin holding an orange seed
that sprouts, produces leaves, blooms, and sets an orange
all in his palm, or the invoking a name, a state of being, etc,
Sounds like you've stayed so far inside your
comfort zone that you haven't seen any, for
lack of a better term, "wierd s#!t".
