The story of my current life includes a tidy assortment of victim themes which have been the material for “convincing” me of shortcomings, maladies, disease, incompetence, and unacceptability. If these weren’t enough, throw on the additional phenomenon of aging! So with all of this, shouldn’t I at least deserve to be a little grumpy and irritable? How is it that I have a shot at being happy and at peace? It would seem to take some kind of miracle to pull that off. A miracle of mind to be exact; but I am getting ahead of myself. What would I have to do to feel happy and at peace?

A few weeks back I had a thought pass through that A Course in Miracles was really ‘hoodwinking’ its students, who would otherwise be a resistant strain. Normally, I let thoughts pass through that are not useful. But this thought seemed to contain some light, so I held it to take a closer look.

I was thinking about the verse of a hymn I learned in Sunday school a few years ago now and how it could be altered to reflect A Course in Miracles.

Mary: God is changeless oneness. If I am not experiencing changeless oneness, changeless Love, then I am trying to make up something other than what God created. I am in a battle with God about what Is.
I am in a stage now where my willingness to give up this battle is getting stronger. This willingness shows up in my dream of separate bodies as a consistent practice in stepping back from what I think is true.

God introduced my husband David to me in October of 1998. He made his transition in 2005. I have lived a life time of blessings in those few years we had together. We were very spiritually connected. Each morning began in prayer and every evening ended in prayer thanking God not only for each other but for every blessing in our lives. Each challenge and experience we shared brought us closer to God, knowing the Holy Spirit was always working through us for our higher good. We both new that the Holy Spirit is the activity of God working through us all.

Since being ordained in January, I have come to realize and experience a new way of being that I had only studied before — namely, to experience Spirit (Love’s Presence) being expressed through me. Until recently I’ve been the doer and maker of my life. This way of living was a huge jump from being run by the world of events and circumstances. However, being captain of my ship still left me striving and uneasy. Running my life was an ongoing job, an ongoing struggle. Was there another way to be?

Teaching had been my profession for 36 years before I retired almost two years ago. I taught at the high school level – Global History and US History; and I stressed the great importance of the knowledge that history provides. Studying A Course in Miracles, however, certainly has changed my perception of the value of knowing details about the past. I made a nice living and now collect a healthy pension from the New York State Teachers’ Retirement System. But how valuable was the actual information in the course curriculum that I spent years teaching?

Last week I received a call advising that the health day we had scheduled months ago at a publishing company for Tuesday this week had to be cancelled. When I received the call, although I had offered the day to Holy Spirit to make all decisions, the ego quickly took over and I started fretting about the inconvenience and lost income. Fortunately, sanity returned and I asked HS what the freed-up day was to be used for. I was moved to call my sister and ask if she was free that day and if I could come to visit. She was delighted and we both looked forward to getting together. We would visit her husband’s grave (he passed away last June) to see the tombstone her son had chosen. I offered to plant some flowers at the site, then she would take us, her other son and me, out to lunch. Then I would leave in time to pick up my partner at her work-place (she is a teacher), where I had dropped her off in the morning. We parted after a delightful day together in sharing and fellowship, and she saw me off with thanks and a message of greetings and love to my partner.

It was the evening of Sunday 16th May 2010 — well it was over on the United Kingdom side of the pond which we call the Atlantic. I was being ordained as a Pathways of Light Ordained Ministerial Counselor. It was being done ‘virtually’ over the ‘phone since it wasn’t actually possible to lay hands on me physically.
It was a lovely event. It was the culmination of the work that I’d put in to doing the Pathways course modules over the previous six months or so.

The first time I was introduced to A Course in Miracles, I felt there was no way that I, a Jewish woman, could possibly study this book. First it was channeled by Jesus, secondly it talked about the Holy Spirit, and perhaps most difficult, it kept referring to Christ. Even saying the words Jesus, Holy Spirit and Christ made me feel I was betraying my entire Jewish heritage. At this point in my naivety, I thought G-d would “punish” me if I studied such a thing. So, I put it down.

I am entitled to miracles
because of what I Am.
I will receive miracles
because of what God Is.
And I will offer miracles
because I Am one with God.

Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your disease. (Mark 5:34)
Yes. Life is as faith is. It’s all about faith. Faith heals all mistaken notions and we learn truth through faith.
One way for me to witness to this truth is to share with you two weeks of my daily morning writing with Holy Spirit. I believe that you’ll agree that Holy Spirit is the Great Healer.

“Who is John Galt?” is the question asked throughout the timeless novel, Atlas Shrugged (copyright 1957 by Ayn Rand). As it turns out, John Galt can be likened to the voice of the Holy Spirit.
In John’s radio address to the nation, he assures everyone that “A will always equal A.” I immediately thought of the often-mentioned law in A Course in Miracles, “The Truth is always true.” Why is that sentence of such impeccable logic so difficult to understand?

Some nights ago, I had a dream (while sleeping) where I was asking a spiritual healer to give me some advice. I was asking for a “consultation,” which in my language meant an appointment to consult my spiritual state of affairs. In the dream, I was wearing a turban and a robe of some kind, and so was the person who was taking care of me. I really don’t know what that meant. That is really not essential to the dream.

If I only spoke once, what would I say to my wife, to my six children, to their six spouses, to my 20 grandchildren, my great grandchild, and to all the loving members of my very extended family? What could I say to everyone? What would I say to you?
