What Is Joy?

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

“What is joy?” A great question a friend of mine asked at a meeting where we were discussing A Course in Miracles. There were three of us at the table. I gave my definition which was that joy is being in peaceful happiness. The third woman gave her definition which was that joy was being in the present moment.

Neither answer resonated with my friend. She felt it should be more, greater than just happiness. After the meeting, the question kept rolling around in my head.

Book Review — Live Your Happy

Colleen Fee

Holy Spirit, I ask for your help and inspiration as I put into words how much I appreciate this wonderfully written book by Rev. Maria Felipe, Live Your Happy.
As a fairly new student of A Course in Miracles and support person for Pathways of Light, this book has made a perfectly timed (by Holy Spirit) and significant tool for my studies of the Course.

Why Allowing = Taking Action

by Rev. Maria Felipe, O.M.C.

Do you have a problem that you think about all the time? As soon as you wake up and while brushing your teeth, driving to work, having lunch and dinner, and finally lying awake in bed when you should be sleeping?

Rather than coming up with a solution, all you’re doing is reviewing the same worries over and over:

The Goal of the Owls

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

One of the great blessings in my life has been to be a coach of the Lynbrook Owls varsity lacrosse team. I now serve as a volunteer assistant coach on a lacrosse program with which I have been involved for 45 consecutive years. In 2008 I turned over the head coaching duties to my friend and colleague who had been my assistant for many years.
I certainly have a great deal of experience coaching high school boys in several sports since 1972. My role, however, has radically changed. It is simple but significant. I help the players and coaches to focus on the Shakti.

The Need to Know

by Rev. Michelle Rado, O.M.C.

I find that my mind really has a hard time letting go of the need to know answers.  My mind prefers to have a step-by-step playbook for how things should be moving forward and it experiences suffering when I don’t have one to follow.

I am at the stage in my awareness where I fundamentally understand the “idea” that I Am Spirit, that I have a mind but I am not the mind, but I still get pretty easily pulled back into identification with my mind.

What Am I?

by Rev. Maura Williams, O.M.C.

When I first started studying the Course, it turned my world up side down. I thought I knew exactly who I was and where I was going. I wasn’t very happy, but I wasn’t extremely unhappy. As I looked out at the world I knew, I figured experiencing ups and downs was just a part of our ever changing world. I could assure myself that not one person here is really happy. Our states of being seem to go up and down with the stock market, the weather or any other circumstance. This is the world of form.

You Are Perfect Love

by Rev. Susan Comello, O.M.C.

Once upon a time I was a sad, lonely human being. Or at least that’s what I believed. Everything was always so hard! I worked and efforted and would try so hard to be happy, to be even okay. But it was always more problems, more disappointments, more hardship. Those times when I did feel some happiness or love always had a cloud hanging over me with a hidden message of gloom: “Even if you are happy for awhile, it will end!”

You Are Not Who You Think You Are

by Rev. Maria Felipe, O.M.C.

Before she was an author and a minister, Reverend Maria Felipe was an actress, a model, and a TV host with a fabulous French boyfriend. She appeared in national commercials, was the first ever Latina boxing announcer, and interviewed World Wrestling Federation competitors in front of audiences of twenty thousand people. People Magazine in Español even referred to her as “Una Campeona Sin rival,” which means a champion without rival. But through it all, she felt insecure, unworthy, and downright miserable.

All that began to change when she discovered A Course in Miracles and eventually went on to get her ministerial training from Pathways of Light.

Now, in her new book, Live Your Happy: Get Out of Your Own Way and Find the Love Within (New World Library, April 22, 2017), Maria shares her more than twenty years of experience studying and living the principles from ACIM. This is not a philosophic explanation of the Course. It is a practical, hands-on guide for actually living it. We hope you’ll enjoy this excerpt from the book.

A Non-Traditional Ministry

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

It is true. I am an Ordained Ministerial Counselor (O.M.C.) from Pathways of Light since 2008. But what best defines my ministry?

My ministry seems to be a tapestry of people, places, and organizations that have weaved in and out of my life over these many years. Whoever or whatever showed up in my past was meant to be there as a lesson in learning ACIM-style forgiveness. Whatever or whoever shows up in my future will be there as the perfect forgiveness opportunity. But it is in the present moment – now - that I most need to stay connected to my Source.

There Is a Peace

by Rev. Maria Kingsley, O.M.C.

There is a Peace that
the world cannot alter.
Peace remains the Truth
that will not falter.

We think we can allow our
little self to make all decisions,
Yet the results will
always need revisions.

What will we not do
to get our way,
We shout and attack
and blame our guilt away.

Choosing Peace in an Unpeaceful Climage

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

I spend a lot of time on Facebook because a good deal of my ministry is through social media. This has been a terrific way to connect with many people all over the world. On the other hand, since the election, it has been a difficult place to visit sometimes. It is filled with posts that are divisive, fearful and blaming. As I read them sometimes I feel my own ego mind triggered and I am tempted to join the fray. Here is how I am handling this.

A Lesson Learned

by Rev. Gail Hamley, O.M.C.

The longer I am on my spiritual path the more I am convinced that I know nothing. And this is such good news! It is impossible to know anything because it is impossible to know the full picture. Only God is omniscient. What a relief! I am released from judgment caused by the ego mind. In A Course in Miracles it says, “It is surely good advice to tell you not to judge what you do not understand.” (T-12.I. 5:1)

Thoughts on the Past Year

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

I was sitting in meditation thinking about the year that had just been completed. I was judging myself for not accomplishing all that my ego told me I should have accomplished. And, in my meditative state the following thoughts came to me. Because we are of one mind, I thought it would be helpful to many readers to pass these words along as I do not believe they belong to me alone, but rather to all of us who still judge ourselves and find ourselves wanting.

What Do You Want?

by Rev. Maura Williams, O.M.C.

I ask myself this often. What do I want? More than anything, I want the peace of God. More than anything, I want to know my Oneness with my Creator, but is this what I really want?

My actions show me I want order. I want to know what’s going to happen next and how it’s going to happen. My actions show me I want to be in control. I want to call the shots. I want to schedule my life and have everything show up on time as predicted. I think I feel very safe when I’m able to do this, but is this really safety or is it me playing God?
