The Last Betrayal

Rev. Cathy Doran, O.M.C.

Recently I experienced a betrayal. Someone I love did something so hurtful that it changed our relationship forever. My heart was broken. For days, in fact, I thought the relationship would be ended. When I first discovered what had happened, I shook violently for hours. I cried from a deep well in my chest. In the midst of this, though, I found that I could not name the emotion. It was not anger. Looking back, I think it was a great sadness. I felt lost. I reached for Holy Spirit, not really knowing what to ask for, only knowing the answer lay with Him.

Radical Empathy

Rev. Kimberly Beck, O.M.C., C.Ht.

A Course in Miracles teaches us that we can read and apply the Text and Workbook lesson exercises in complete silence and still make a HUGE impact on the world. However, we discover and learn about ourselves in relationship to each other. As we interact with each other, we become aware of the areas in our mind where we need healing and ask for assistance from Holy Spirit to show us the way home to His truth.

Reboot!

by Rev. Barbara Goodman Siegel, O.M.C.

The other day, I turned my computer on and got a blank screen. My husband was gone and not being at all technical, I was at a loss as to what to do. I tried pushing the start button again and a message appeared on the screen asking if I wanted to run a “Trouble shooting” program. Not knowing where the program came from and being afraid of hackers, I thought I better not. I thought I pushed the cancel option, but the program started to run anyway. I pushed “Cancel” again and another message came up that said: “You can’t cancel this program once it has started.” As the program ran, a line kept moving across the screen and a note above it said: “This may take several minutes. It will not erase any personal files.” I must admit that the running of this program was causing me some anxiety, but I couldn’t see any way of stopping it.

All Is Well

by Rev. Cathy Wright, O.M.C.

The gates of the cemetery were just ahead. I could already feel the anxiety creeping over me. “Mom,” I said to myself, “this is not going to be easy.”

Soon the line of cars parked near my dad’s grave came into view. I could feel my heart beating more quickly than usual.

Anxiety’s Crafty Compadre

by Rev. Andrea Sassa, O.M.C.

In the last Miracles News issue, April-June, 2013, I shared how Spirit guided me from living in days driven by task-lists to being in days guided by Spirit’s creative flow. In Spirit’s flow, my ego’s driving anxiety to maintain and complete those lists was gone, or so I thought. After surrendering “lists” to Spirit, that ego-mind of mine revealed just how crafty it is at trying to keep anxiety in my life.

“And the Train Was On Time”

by Rev. Kathryn Vera Streng, O.M.C.

In late April, I was thrilled to attend the “A Gift of Lilies” A Course in Miracles conference in Chicago. While waiting in the train station, I learned from the helpful ticket agents that “Train Day” was coming up soon. “How fun it would be,” I thought, “to take Wrenna, my precious three year old granddaughter on a train ride on Train Day.” The agents created a mock itinerary showing how we could take the train from Kalamazoo and ride an hour to New Buffalo. We’d have four hours there, then return to Kalamazoo, where my vehicle waited.

God Is In the Details…

by Rev. Andrea Sassa, O.M.C.

I was one of those people who woke in the morning with a list running in her head. It was that way for years. For a long time, I thought this was good. I thought I was helping myself by immediately setting my day in order and then getting right to it. I prided myself on how much I accomplished and that I did not “waste” time sitting idly. Every second had a purpose!

On My Son’s Transition Back to Spirit — A Poem

by Rev. Judy Rae Angus, O.M.C.

My soul aches
and undulates…
as it comes to life.

Triggered awake
by the pain, the grief
it moves…
breathes…

Healing with the 30-Day Home Study Program: Listen & Receive

by Rev. Linda Wisniewski, O.M.C.

For the past eight months, the body that Linda made in the story of separation has been acting out with a vengeance — pain, inflammation, Lymes. It doesn’t matter. It’s all effects of an unhealed mind that believes it is guilty and has to punish itself because in one instant it had a deluded thought that it could separate from God. And, like ACIM says it forgot to laugh at this silly thought. So, because of the belief that the guilt is real, Linda believes that suffering is necessary to atone for her “sins” of separation. She even believes the pain is real. When she saw pictures of her blood cells, she really went into fear mode and it seemed so scary. Weren’t we taught in the separation story that what we see with the physical eyes tells the real story?

Coaching LaCrosse with Shakti

by Rev. Larry Glenz, O.M.C.

I am in my 41st consecutive year as a high school coach with the same lacrosse team — the Lynbrook Owls. Having retired five seasons ago from being the head coach, I have since served as a volunteer assistant coach to the program. My role is now remarkably different and, for me, very exciting.

Understanding Forgiveness

by Rev. Mary Beth Ellis, O.M.C.

Forgiveness is probably the most important spiritual lesson for many reasons, one of which is that our lives depend on it.

To truly forgive we need to understand the why’s and how’s of how it works. As with any fix-it project, the most important factor, after the decision to repair something, is to use the right tools. Without the proper tools, all the determination in the world usually results in little change. We are fortunate to have these tools today. I wish I’d had them at 16. I wish I’d had them at 30 when I was blaming the world for my problems. I wish I’d used them yesterday when I felt slighted by one of God’s children, and condemned him in my mind.

A Lesson from the Holy Spirit

by Rev. Cathey Jo Tomilenko, O.M.C.

The last ten months of 2012 have been very challenging in my life. I had a lumbar fusion in March of 2012 and another one which was an emergency in August of 2012. I thought I was finally on the upswing of mending this physical body when in October I slipped and fell and broke my leg. Up until this event I knew that the Holy Spirit was guiding me back to health. In fact, the Holy Spirit and I were partners for many years in healing mind, body and spirit. I was doing my part and the ability of the billions of cells in this miracle body of mine was doing the rest.

Inspiration in Motion

by Rev. Mary Gerard Lenihan, O.M.C.

My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today- Have but one purpose; to be given Christ
To use to bless the world with miracles. W.pII.353

In the midst of thoughts about “caring for” the body, I have been given sight as follows. Inspiration In Motion is an experiential practice of accessing Inspiration Within through your Inspired HeartMind any time, anywhere while in the midst of everyday living. Inspiration Within is This Inner Present Love, wholly free and absolutely present, here, now, everywhere, at all times. There is nowhere This Love is not. This is how This Love is Love.

All Is Well in God’s Hands

Jim Klapperich

I have a flooring business to earn money in this earthly illusion. One of my customers had some water damage so she called me on a Thursday and I went to her house to correct the problem. I removed the wet pad and propped up the carpet so the fans could dry the floor and carpet. I got a strong message that I should come back on the following Monday to finish the repair.
