Remembering the Dreamer

by Rev. Bill Poppa, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

I am 67 years old, which means I have been watching the world’s conflicts unfold for as long as I can remember. When I was five years old, I remember sitting in front of the television as the nation watched the assassination of John F. Kennedy. For days the coverage continued, culminating in the shocking moment when Lee Harvey Oswald himself was shot on live television. Not long after, the Vietnam War filled our living rooms each evening as the nightly news reported the body count of American soldiers. Even as a child, it was impossible not to feel that something about the world was deeply unsettled.

The 1960s brought a cultural upheaval as well. Protests and riots filled the streets while a younger generation began questioning the institutions their parents had trusted. At the same time, music carried a different message. Dylan and the folk singers gave voice to a longing for truth and peace, while The Beatles symbolized a generation searching for a new way to live. Yet conflict never seemed to leave the stage.

They Are My Classroom, Not My Problem

by Rev. Myron Jones, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

“Who is there but wishes to be free of pain? He may not yet have learned how to exchange guilt for innocence, nor realize that only in this exchange can freedom from pain be his. Yet those who have failed to learn need teaching, not attack. To attack those who have need of teaching is to fail to learn from them.” (T-14.V.5:5-8)

As I sit with this passage, I see that the Atonement is really about our shared innocence, and that the miracle is simply the recognition of guiltlessness. When I attack, I am not correcting anything; I am failing to learn. And those I am tempted to see as needing correction are actually offering me an opportunity to remember the truth.

The Peace of Not Knowing

by Rev. Stella Berthelette, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Sometimes peace returns in the most unexpected way — through a single sentence remembered at exactly the right moment.

This past year asked a great deal of me. My life seemed to rearrange itself all at once — moving, renovations, changes in my partnership, and a professional workload that brought an enormous amount of trauma into my office each day. It felt as though everything accelerated simultaneously, like standing where several currents meet. Somewhere in the midst of it all, anxiety quietly returned.

When the mind feels overwhelmed it tries to take control, and mine was no different. It began organizing the future, evaluating my path, and trying to determine what should happen next. I found myself thinking more and more about the direction of my work and the gifts people often see in me. For more than twenty-five years I have shown up for others, holding space for their healing and their stories, yet another thought had begun to surface quietly beneath the surface of that work.

The Desire for Lucid Living

by Rev. Larry Glenz, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

I read one of Jon Mundy’s Sunday articles recently. Jon has been one of my favorite Course teachers for decades. He spoke of a way of navigating this apparent world and called it lucid living. 

“Lucid living: i.e. The alive, attentive, self-aware self, conscious of the dreamlike quality of our world without being caught in the dream, the game, the play, the news, and the soap-opera of our politics and our everyday world.” 

What a great way to live!

The Control Issue

by Rev. Joyce Peebles, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

The Holy Spirit has shown me some aspects of my ego personality that have not served me well. My ego wants to be in control. This comes from fear and anxiety, which are hallmarks of the separation experience.

I not only want to control my world, but I have been arrogant enough to think I could control someone else’s. For example, under the guise of helping my 94-year-old mother, I tried to help or fix her. This gratifies my ego because I tell myself I am a good daughter, helping her mother. The fact is she does not want my help most of the time. And I don’t know what is in her best interest. It’s not my job to fix her or help her when she doesn’t want help.

From the Garbage Heap to Awakening

by Rev. Sabrina Rollins, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Once upon a time, in a faraway place, there was a vast pit in the center of a village. The pit was so deep its bottom could scarcely be seen from above. The villagers tossed all their trash into it, and because the pit was so enormous, they never feared it would overfill. The mayor appointed a caretaker, and each day the old, haggard woman tamped down the garbage and covered it with dirt so the foul odors would not rise and trouble the villagers.

As the years passed, the villagers discovered that the pit was also a convenient place to hide their misdeeds and unkind thoughts. Once thrown into the darkness, they no longer had to face their behavior or their loveless impulses. The poor caretaker worked tirelessly, day and night, to contain the stench of the ever-growing heap. But because she never complained, the villagers failed to notice that the pit was swelling — growing higher and wider with every passing day. They simply walked around it without a second glance. The mountain of garbage became part of the scenery, accepted as normal.

Until one day, something happened that had never happened before. A roaring sound erupted from the center of the pit — an ominous rumbling that shook the ground beneath the village. The earth quivered and cracked. A groaning, thunderous bellow echoed across the land. Flames burst forth, sending ash into the sky, darkening the villagers’ homes and leaving a bitter taste in their mouths.
