We had a significant experience last night and this morning that we would like to share with you. It started with a message that came in on our voice mail at 11:30 p.m. The call was from Bob Thompson, a Pathways minister for many years. In the message he briefly shared that his wife, Rev. Kathy Thompson, had passed on in a one car accident yesterday afternoon. A few minutes later a call came from Rev. Laurie Immekus, another Pathways minister, who is Kathy’s close friend. She told us that she would be going over to be with Bob in the morning and help with whatever needed to be done.
Mary:
After these calls, as I lay in bed, I joined with Kathy, remembering that all minds that appear separated in the dream are really joined. I asked Kathy what she was learning with her transition experience. The response I received was, “Only Love matters.” I smiled as I heard this because, knowing Kathy, she demonstrated this every day of her life while she appeared to be in a body. The feeling that came with this joining was an expansive sense of peace. She did not feel lost or confused, but became aware of a much bigger and expanded ability to serve the awakening, and “only Love matters” is the central focus.
We talked to Bob by phone early this morning. He had been unable to sleep all night. We joined with him and with Kathy. In our joining, Kathy shared about her purpose now, without the limits of the body. She and Bob joined in one purpose when they first met to focus on awakening to Love and sharing it with everyone. That purpose is now expanded as Kathy joins with us without the body’s limitations. She impressed on us that she is still with us, joined with our minds, following Holy Spirit’s lead. While here in a body, her focus was consistently on “joyning” (as she liked to spell it).
It feels like this is a very exciting time for Bob and Kathy. Together they will be able to demonstrate that there is no death. The only thing that really matters is the Love we extend. While Bob will have to adjust to this sudden change in appearance, his process of moving past focus on appearances to remembering that minds are joined and not limited by the body will be a lesson that extends beyond him and Kathy. Bob shared that he has already had an opportunity to share this lesson with some who have called him expressing their grief.
The message is, “There is no death. The Son of God is free to awaken and be glad. The truth is that nothing has happened to change God’s one Son.” We can witness to truth instead of illusion and extend the happy awareness that everyone is the eternal Spirit of Love. We can shed the old worn out ideas of limitation and loss as a butterfly leaves its cocoon.
In our reading this morning we were led to the beginning of Chapter 26, appropriately titled, “The Transition.” What stood out to us was, “Hear, then, the song your brother sings to you, and let the world recede, and take the rest his witness offers on behalf of peace. But judge him not, for you will hear no song of liberation for yourself, nor see what it is given him to witness to, that you may see it and rejoice with him.” (T-26.I.6:3-4) Kathy is witnessing to the song of liberation on behalf of peace. As we are willing to join with her in witnessing to the truth of oneness, we experience the freedom of the butterfly ourselves.
We are very grateful for this opportunity to join in remembering there is no death, and that we are all free to follow Holy Spirit’s gentle plan of awakening. As we surrender all that we think we know, we are brought to the awareness of our real Life in which we remember that “only Love matters.”
We invite you to join us for the Sunday “Joining with Holy Spirit” teleconference on July 25th, in which we will celebrate Kathy’s transition and expanded service to awakening to the Love we are. Whether or not you knew Kathy, it will be an opportunity to join together and remember our oneness in the one Mind of Love. This is one more opportunity to remember the truth and let go of illusions of limitation and loss. This is a lesson we can all apply to our lives as we willingly wake up from the dream of separation.
The Sunday teleconference begins at 11 a.m. eastern, 8 a.m pacific time. To join the teleconference, call 1-218-339-2699. At the prompt, enter the access code: 293760#.
