Special Relationships

by Rev. Myron Jones

Most of our relationships are based on the belief that we are not whole, that we are missing some vital piece of ourselves, and that we can get that missing part if we just hook up with the right person. We seldom are aware, on a conscious level, just what it is that we are missing. So here we are with this fuzzy idea that something is missing and that someone else can complete us. I don’t know how we expect to find that missing piece when we don’t even know what it looks like.

New On the Web — A Course in Miracles Text Q & A

by Revs. Robert & Mary Stoelting

The past two years we have been working on providing additional perspectives for each section of the Text of A Course in Miracleson the Pathways of Light web site. Recently we have put these perspectives in a new question and answer format. Below are questions and answers for Chapter 17, Section III: Shadows of the Past from Text pgs 354-357.

How do we hear the Holy Spirit?

Paragraphs one and two explain why it is so important for us to step back from our usual way of thinking and invite the Holy Spirit into our mind. We remember to do this when it fully sinks in that what we think we know about ‘reality’ is not true. Being a ‘know it all’ just keeps us a prisoner to the ego thought system of separation. To consistently hear Holy Spirit, who does know reality, we need to make it a regular habit of remembering, “Nothing I see… means anything.” (WB Lesson 1) and, “My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world.” (WB Lesson 11)

Forgiveness Is My Function

by Rev. Deb Phelps

In Chapter 17, in the first section, “Bringing Fantasy to Truth” we are reminded that “When you try to bring truth to illusions, you are trying to make the illusions real, and keep them by justifying your belief in them. But to give illusions to truth is to enable truth to teach that the illusions are unreal, and thus enable you to escape from them.” (T-17.I.5:4-5)

What Is Salvation?

by Rev. Mary Manke

As I listened during today’s lesson, which is “Holding grievances is an attack on God’s plan for salvation,” I asked, “What is salvation, Father? Tell me, that I may understand.” This is what came to me from Spirit:

Salvation is to be freed from illusions, from insane plans for survival, from investment in false dreams. Salvation is Love. When you accept the Presence of Love, the false falls away. In Love’s Presence, there is no cause (for guilt/fear) and no need for illusion or lies.

A Journey onto Pages

by Rev. Susan Hanshaw

I did not consciously decide to write Unleashing Your Soul.  It chose me. I say that because as much as I had the burning desire to write a book, when I first committed myself to writing one, the words simply did not flow. I often sat at my computer all day just barely producing a page or two. It seemed that I was trying to force something that was not yet ready to happen.

Part of my problem was that I felt like I didn’t have a clue about what I was doing. I wanted to be a writer, so I just wrote. Shortly after I began to write, the universe helped me to stumble across some spiritual writing workshops that helped me to improve my craft as well as connect me with a good writing coach. After I was about 60% done with my initial manuscript, I sent it to the coach and waited eagerly for his evaluation.

Can You Give Yourself Permission to Be Happy?

by Rev. Cheryl Ford

  I had the most wonderful experience this morning with ACIM workbook lesson 71 that I wanted to share it with you. The lesson is Only God’s Plan for Salvation will Work.

The lesson focuses on the fact that there are two ways that we can perceive salvation. One belongs to the ego, the other to God.
The ego’s plan for salvation is based on the idea of “seek but do not find.” This concept causes us to always look for salvation in people, situations and circumstances outside of ourselves. Of course this plan does not work because it is in direct opposition to God’s plan which is by following His direction, we seek for salvation where it is: Within.

I Know Just What to Do

by Revs. Bob and Kathy Thompson

Last November, David Fishman requested that a song be written for A Course in Miracles Gather. After a month of jotting down ideas for the song, Bob was guided to ignore all of the accumulated ideas, and start a clean page. Then, the words just tumbled out, and the song was written by itself. When Bob sang it for the first time, he just opened his mouth, and the melody plopped out. All of which just goes to show, that if you have a little willingness, Holy Spirit will do the rest.

Within seconds of hearing this song for the first time, Linda Card and David Fishman, enthusiastically adopted I Know Just What to Do as the theme song for A Course in Miracles Gather.
