You’ve Got What It Takes

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

So, do you have what it takes? Sometimes we may find ourselves in certain jobs, volunteer positions, trainings, programs or a path of study etc. and may ask, “Why am I doing this? What am I doing here?”

This morning in my practice of Pause for Inspiration in the midst of everyday life, I recognized the direction of my Helpful Self. I had to pause and step back though because my Helpful Self had really gotten my attention. How? By shifting my focus from using my energy and time in an area which is not quite on target with my gifts to an area which is. For example, someone could be studying culinary arts, but notice an inner shift towards restaurant management.

by Revs. Robert and Mary Stoelting

Below is one the Daily Inspirations posted on the Pathways of Light website at this link:

The Answer to All Our Problems

“If you are willing to recognize your problems, you will recognize that you have no problems. Your one central problem [belief in separation] has been answered, and you have no other. Therefore, you must be at peace. Salvation thus depends on recognizing this one problem [separation], and understanding that it has been solved. One problem, one solution. Salvation is accomplished. Freedom from conflict has been given you. Accept that fact, and you are ready to take your rightful place in God’s plan for salvation.

Love

Anonymous

There is only one way fear is created — when you believe not that you are Love. That you could ever be separate from the Love you are is inconceivable in truth.

We Can All Channel

by Rev. Dan Strodl, O.M.C.

A couple of years ago I asked Robert Holden if he had a daily spiritual practice. He said, “Yes, l ask the ‘Holy Spirit what would you have me know?’ and then I write whatever comes up. It could be one word, a few words, or more.”

So I started doing this practice the next day, and was totally surprised that words not of me poured out of my pen. And, they were exactly what I needed for the day. I’ve made it a daily spiritual practice ever since.

It’s so simple. I just quiet my mind for a few minutes, and then I ask, “Holy Spirit, what would you have me know today?” and I write down whatever comes up. I have no idea what will appear. I just write and what comes out of my pen is exactly what I need.

Accepting Opportunities for Healing

by Rev. Michael Graves, O.M.C.

I was introduced to the Course through some cassette recordings by Marianne Williamson, given to me by another recovering friend in a 12 step program. The topics of the recordings were quite common but the messages were not. I was quite taken by the decidedly spiritual nature of the solutions she offered. I later read her book “A Return to Love” and began my study of ACIM.

There is a line in the “Big Book” of AA by one of its authors that states, addiction is a spiritual malady. That statement really resonated with me and I knew it was true. At least for me. 

Like many students, my study and practice of the principals of A Course in Miracles has changed my life, in what can only be described as miraculous ways. Let me begin with this quote from A Course in Miracles:

Faith

by Rev. Jim Peterson, O.M.C.

Faith is never lacking.
Every moment of every day
We either put our faith
in the fears that consume us
or the Joy that is ever-present
but often buried
from our awareness..

Making No Exceptions

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

We are taught that Love never compares. Comparisons are a tool of the ego thought system. Nevertheless, making comparisons seems like a natural process in the world.

Rev. Myron Jones and I have been presenters at the last four ACIM conferences sponsored by the Community Miracles Center. The two of us have represented Pathways of Light and are among about thirty Course teachers that represent other ACIM-related organizations.

Tumbleweeds

by Rev. Peggy Rivera, O.M.C.

The tumbleweed blows around in the desert after it dies. It dries up and forms a big ball that rolls around on the barren dust at the winds command. It goes wherever the wind takes it, and as it tumbles around it drops little seeds in its path. Aimlessly it tumbles to and fro without any direction of its own.

How I can relate to that feeling as a tumbleweed? Growing up I often felt dry, un-nurtured, and without direction. The wind reminds me of how I felt that I had no direction of my own. I would often give my power away trying to please others. I didn’t trust myself and I definitely didn’t know how to love myself or care for myself. I knew how to give but I didn’t know how to receive.

Pause to Move from Anger to Being Present

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

“What is a common cause of anger?” and “How can The Pause Practice help?”

I experience that I am more susceptible to becoming angry when I am not present. That is, I am distracted, not focused on something worthy of my attention, following thoughts that are leading me down a negative path, making assumptions about what someone is thinking, jumping to conclusions about a situation, being easily offended etc. When I am distracted, me-character thinking leads me astray and vulnerable to irritation and anger.

Two Step Accessing Inner Wisdom Formula

by Christian Mauerer

A little over a year ago, on February 9th, 2017, I met my now wife — Rev. Maria Felipe (also a Pathways Minister), ACIM teacher & Author of “Live Your Happy.” (http://www.mariafelipe.org)

I had never heard of her before, even though I was studying A Course in Miracles (ACIM) two years before that.
I couldn’t really nail down what it was, but for some reason I felt so attracted to her, even shy. I met her on an ACIM retreat and I remember I didn’t even say, “Hi.” to her because I felt so intimidated by her presence.

1 YEAR LATER:

I am married.

I am expecting my first child.

I am on my path to becoming a Pathways Minister.

Wow!

Hello My Friend

by Rev. Cindy Lyn Bartholome, O.M.C.

The message on my voicemail said, “Cindy, this is Lorraine Merritt …  I don’t know if you’re aware that Linda Wisniewski made her transition a short time ago…”  I was stunned.  Linda Wisniewski, my Pathways of Light ministerial facilitator, the person I talked to on the phone every week for the past nine months, is gone from this physical world. I broke down and cried.

I felt a deep connection with Linda from our very first phone meeting. We never physically met; yet it seemed I knew her my entire life. With each phone conversation our friendship flourished.  Through the ministerial lessons and with Linda’s guidance and encouragement, I shared with her my deepest fears and worries; my greatest joys and aspirations. I joked with Linda that she knew more about me than my husband of twenty plus years.

I Am Under No Laws but God’s

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

I was guided to work with three lessons after experiencing the appearance of a bronchial infection and having a flare up of arthritic symptoms along with a skin condition of psoriasis. The lessons I was guided to were: Workbook Lesson 76: I am Under No Laws but God’s, Lesson 91: Miracles are Seen in the Light and Lesson 92: Miracles Are Seen in Light and Light and Strength are One.

First it was interesting to note the sequence of what took place before I experienced the chest cold and what has taken place since and how it has served as an opportunity for healing my mind and strengthening my connection with my God Source.

Littleness versus Magnitude

by Rev. Myron Jones, O.M.C.

“Holy child of God, when will you learn that only holiness can content you and give you peace? Remember that you learn not for yourself alone, no more than I did. It is because I learned for you that you can learn of me. I would but teach you what is yours, so that together we can replace the shabby littleness that binds the host of God to guilt and weakness with the glad awareness of the glory that is in him. My birth in you is your awakening to grandeur. Welcome me not into a manger, but into the altar to holiness, where holiness abides in perfect peace. My Kingdom is not of this world because it is in you. And you are of your Father. Let us join in honoring you, who must remain forever beyond littleness.” (T-15.III.9)

Why Do Affirmations?

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

Okay, I can hear you saying: “Why should I do mirror affirmations? It really seems silly. And say them out loud? Even more preposterous! Anyway, aren’t affirmations pretty ‘Sixties’? No one does that anymore! I am a modern person. I don’t need those affirmations and affirmations that go with the ACIM lessons are really a step too far. I will just read the lessons and, Barbara, even if I have your book, I will just read the affirmations when I read my daily lesson.”
