Mary & Robert: Yesterday, our dear friend Brenda Eden who lives in Iowa called us to tell us her husband, Rev. Robert Mills, passed away Monday morning. She and Robert are long time students of A Course in Miracles and they both are very aware that death is an illusion. She related to us that the transition was peaceful and full of love. She said it was a profound experience for everyone concerned.
We would like to express our gratitude for Robert Mills in our lives. He and Brenda came here to Pathways many times over the past few years and we enjoyed many wonderful times together. If you would like to communicate with Brenda, you can email her at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
Yesterday Minnie Degnitz, whose husband passed away recently, visited us. After lunch, we joined together with the purpose of opening to the Holy Spirit to receive Its healing peace and insights. What came from this time was the understanding that our purpose was to become like an empty chalice. As we allow the chalice to be filled with Holy Spirit’s love, peace and joy, it infuses all our thoughts and everything we do. As we allow our minds to be filled with Spirit, we find that Spirit sees only the Spirit in everyone. And all our thoughts and actions stem from seeing the truth about everyone. This is our purpose now: To accept the truth and see the truth in everyone. We will still do the mundane things of the world as needed, but we know that the reason why we are here is to accept Holy Spirit’s peace and love and joy into our minds and find that peace and love and joy in everyone. This is how we see that we are one. This is how we heal and are healed.
Minnie came to a place where she saw herself sliding down a hillside of brilliant white snow. She was filled with joy and a sense of ease as she saw how easy it was to be carried by the Holy Spirit. She knows that Richard is with her in Spirit and that she still has a job to do to serve Holy Spirit’s extension of peace, love and joy.
What an opportunity we all have to do the same thing. No matter what we do in the physical world, our true purpose is to accept Holy Spirit’s peace and be carried as we are willing to follow Holy Spirit’s lead. Our true purpose is to let go of our belief in a separate self with separate interests and to accept Holy Spirit’s one purpose of seeing unity where we once saw division and differences.
Because in truth we are one Self, we only have one purpose. As we allow ourselves to be filled with Holy Spirit’s peace, we know that the understanding will come as we are ready. What a wonderful opportunity we all have right now to follow Holy Spirit’s lead, moment by moment.
