As Joel Goldsmith said, in the presence of the God realized, the laws of the material world do not apply. That's why people who live steadfastly at a place of God-consciousness can perform miracles.

Every once in a while, I get to that place of God-consciousness, and miracles do happen.

Wayne Dyer

Vladimir Putin

You must obey the law, always, not only when they grab you by your special place.
