Colleen Celebrates Life

by Revs. Annie Arbona & Colleen McNally

One of our dear ministers, Rev. Colleen Mc Nally, passed away recently. We wish to honor and celebrate all the many blessings she has given us during her time with us.

Rev. Annie Arbona — Just as Colleen celebrated Life and Spirit in all her writings and poems, we celebrate her as she moves on in her story line to a greater body-free awareness of her True Self. It is so easy for me to picture Colleen celebrating all that she became aware of. And that she was so obviously aware of Truth, and had such ability to express it.

We were in the some ordination group of September, 2007, and it was a joy to share with her free, wise and loving Spirit. Love to you, Colleen. You are in our hearts, in the Heart of all hearts. Below are some of Colleen’s beautiful messages and poetry:

Gifts from Gustav and Ike

Rev. Myron Jones

In the last few weeks I have evacuated twice. On the level of form I was doing this because hurricanes were coming. But as with everything that happens in my life I get to be the one who gives meaning to each occurrence, and I give it all the meaning it has for me. The purpose I give it determines my experience of it. I noticed that it is a moment to moment decision. Each moment is an opportunity to decide what I value right now.

The Face of God Is in Everyone

Rev. Gail Hamley

With the recent ups and downs of the financial market, job losses, home losses and general chaos that seem to be taking place in the United States, how does one overcome this illusion? ACIM tells us “not by force or anger, nor by opposing them in any way.” The Course continues, “You are the strong one in this seeming conflict.” (p. 478) That’s all very nice and I certainly do want to be strong, but with everyone around me complaining, criticizing and make strong judgments, sometimes it is difficult to cultivate that strength.

The Graduation Party

Rev. Melinda Kurka

It is so easy to get all wrapped up in our everyday life, with its problems and all the things needing to be done. Sometimes we get so busy, we forget how truly blessed we are. Then suddenly, something happens to remind us of how far we have come on our spiritual voyage and what a miracle that journey has been. That is exactly what happened to me a few months ago, and it happened at a graduation party for my husband’s nephew, Stephen.

Specialness — A Disguised Gift of Fear

Tomas Vieira

Whenever we try to be special, to get something from someone, or harbor an attachment to an outcome or thing, we will experience pain and suffering and usually cruelty towards the other party and self.

The Cyclone of Love

Laurent Elie Levy

The last 4th of July weekend was a gift for me, as well as for many of us who attended the intensive retreat held at Pathways of Light that weekend. The foundation for the weekend’s teaching was NTI, which is a nick-name for The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament. Regina Dawn Akers, my partner, is the scribe of this “yellow book.” Together, we taught and shared clarity we’ve received from Holy Spirit through NTI. NTI is such a profound and loving piece of art that helps its readers awaken to the truth of who we are. It really is a joy and an honor to gather around this living book. The whole weekend was filled with amazing moments of realizations, great “Aha’s”, lots of Light, and lots of Love.

The Truth About the Law of Attraction

Rev. Cheryl Ford

Quantum physics has recently proven the fact that the mind is fully capable of attracting the things that clear intention is set upon, and creating its own ‘reality’ by manifesting into physical form that on which it focuses. This concept has also recently been capitalized on by certain books and films which reveal how the ‘law of attraction’ can be manipulated to bring into manifestation the desires of the heart whether it is financial gain or true love.

I Should Have Known Better

Rev. Larry Glenz

I attended the workshop, Undoing the Ego II given by Tomas Viera and Nouk Sanchez, the authors of Take Me To Truth: Undoing the Ego. Although I am a long time student of A Course in Miracles and an ordained minister of Pathways of Light, I had never previously been in the physical company of any assembly of ACIM students. I had some reservations about spending five nights in Kiel, Wisconsin with these spiritually inclined strangers that I was certain would be very different from me. I was sure that few, if any, from this group of spiritual seekers would share my background and interests or have experienced the same difficulties that have challenged me greatly in this “dream” that I think is real.

Ghosts from the Past

Rev. Sharyn Zenz

In the stillness and the quiet is every prayer answered. It seems that when I have a problem or concern, the one and only way to handle it is to bring it to Holy Spirit for a miracle. My perception is automatically changed and I can go about my Father’s business.

Love Holds No Grievances

Rev. Barbara Brown Allen

Imagine we are in the lounge area of an up-scale restaurant in southern California. It is dark; lights are dimmed and table candles are glowing. The patrons are sitting around the tables or at the bar, drinking and smoking. Sitting at the bar, you face a wall of mirrors lined with shelves of whiskies, brandies, and colored liqueurs. The lounge opens every morning of the year at 7 a.m., and about 30 people gather daily. I come here every morning to meet these people. The booze is corked, and the people are drinking coffee, a lot of coffee. It might seem a little odd for these people to meet every day in a bar and drink only coffee, but this is a daily meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. This is where we tell each other our stories — what it used to be like, what happened, and what we are like now — and in so doing, help ourselves and others to get sober and stay sober.

What Is a Miracle?

by Dennis Gaither, M.D.

So what is a miracle, anyway? There is something very compelling about the idea of miracles; something that engages our imagination, some deeply yearning part of us. They have been the stuff of folklore and faith for millennia. Whether curious, hopeful, disdainful or fascinated, few are neutral in their beliefs about what a miracle is.

From the Classroom to the Street — Literally

Rev. Carol K. Springer-Witfoth

The Course teaches us to see the Christ in everyone. Everyone. In the beginning it was a challenge and a joy to see the Light in as many people as possible. When I couldn’t, I simply acknowledged that Christ was there. Bare in mind that I did not remember to look for or acknowledge that in everyone. Sometimes I still don’t. I am a beginner among beginners. Holy Spirit provided the following, unexpected, beautiful lesson.

What Is Forgiveness?

Rev. Sally Pankratz

Even though I’ve been a sudent of A Course in Miracles for many years and more recently have also been communing with The Way of Mastery and The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament, I still haven’t felt comfortable with forgiveness. Most times when I read the word, I hear, “What’s forgiveness?” And when I apply what I think it is, it still feels like judgement and guilt.
