My Breath Is the Holy Spirit

by Rev. Judy Calvin, O.M.C.

The Holy Spirit lives through me as my breath. When I allow that truth to permeate my awareness and raise my consciousness, my life — indeed, my universe — becomes miraculous. Knowing that the Holy Spirit is present with me in such an intimate way, has moved me from a life saturated with enormous guilt, sadness and anxiety to one full of innocence, joy and peace.

I am discovering there is no limit to the ways I can use my Holy Spirit breath to heal my mind and heart. Following are, perhaps, my three favorite ways that the Holy Spirit and I collaborate using the breath to bring me into that space where miracles occur.

I Will Step Back and Let Him Lead the Way

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

Many of us felt a great deal of emotion upon hearing the results of the presidential election. I am sure that for some it was a time of joy and celebration, but, for others, it was a time of shock and fear. For me, the results of the election brought up a deep sense of grief. (OK, now you know who I voted for.)

My Dear Friend Had a Problem, or Was It Me with the Problem?

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

A question often asked is what Jesus means by Atonement. I always think of Atonement as undoing, and I think that Atonement and forgiveness are the same thing. This from Chapter 13: The Cloud of Guilt, further clarifies the meaning:

Atonement brings a re-evaluation of everything you cherish, for it is the means by which the Holy Spirit can separate the false and the true…

This is why I bring my thoughts to the Holy Spirit for interpretation. I want Him to separate the false from the true because I cannot do that. As Jesus goes on to say, I have accepted everything without distinction. I have a thought and I tend to believe it, simply because it was in my mind. Actually, I have taught myself not to automatically accept every thought, but I used to do so, and still do so sometimes.

Get in the Game

by Rev. Cathy Silva, O.M.C.

I heard it loud and clear. “Get off the sidelines and into the game.” I was on the Pathways of Light annual meeting call and we were each asked to speak a message from Holy Spirit to the group. There were so many wonderful supportive loving messages and words shared as we joined together to share about the year prior and the year ahead. There was a pause and then I heard it as clear as day as if it were just for me.

Gratitude for My Friend

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

I love this time of year. The weather has cooled off a little bit. Even though I live in Florida, we still get a break from the extremely warm temperatures of July through September. And at Thanksgiving time, I am always reminded to pay attention to the things I am so grateful for, even if sometimes we lose the very things and people we love.

This is the time of year that we reflect over the past year and acknowledge all that we have learned. Some people really struggle during the holidays because it is a reminder of the people that are no longer with them. This year we lost a wonderful and lovely friend, she was my teacher for the Pathways of Light 900 courses, Linda Wisniewski. I loved her dearly and I will miss her tremendously and I know everyone who knew her feels like I do. Her light could brighten a room. It is no wonder that she left us during this time of thanksgiving. Because she is such a light that anyone who shared time with her would find themselves inspired by her, and grateful for the opportunity to know her. I am so thankful she came into my life. She was a wonderful teacher, she was so loving and kind. She never failed to let you know she was happy to even hear your voice.

Pinot Noir for the Higher Good!

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

When you give everything over to the Holy Spirit, where to go and what to do becomes obvious… and in my case, it feels easy! This was the case with my book Live Your Happy, forthcoming from New World Library in April, 2017.

I had no plans to write a book. I suffer from dyslexia, and honestly I don’t like to write or read much. But as I’ve learned since becoming a minister, nothing is up to “me” — it’s a matter of what serves the higher good.

Our Only Function to Find Peace

by Rev. Joanne Kraenzle Schneider, Ph.D., O.M.C.

It’s fairly safe to say, we are all searching for peace, whether we know it or not. The Course teaches that salvation is the only way in which we can find peace of mind. (W-pI.65.2:3) Yet, how do we practice salvation?

Salvation and forgiveness are the same. (W-pI.99.1:1) Thus, salvation, being forgiveness, is looking past our distorted view of the world, our perceptual errors. (ACIM, 2007, pg. xi) It is a letting go of the past and the future and being with what is. Salvation, or forgiveness, is our only function (W-pI.65) and the only way we can reach our goal, peace of mind. (W-pI.65.2:3) Yet we have taken on so many competing goals, for example, family goals, work goals, household goals, life goals, even spiritual goals. These goals reflect things we want to achieve in the world and are predicated on our distorted world view, not on salvation.

Old Time Religion: “You’re an Abomination. Get Out!”

by Rev. Barbara Adams, O.M.C.

Being recently ordained by Pathways of Light Spiritual College, I seek the path where I may best serve. I have been following a vital teaching of the Course: Listen. And as Rev. Mary Gerard Lenihan, O.M.C. would say, “Pause for Inspiration in the midst of everyday life.”

These easy to remember steps of “Pause for Inspiration include: PAUSE. The decision to stop in the moment. STEP BACK. The decision to get out of my own way. STEP ASIDE. The decision to invite Inspiration Within to help. And LET INSPIRATION GUIDE. The decision to choose my Inspired Mind and follow the Wisdom of Inspiration.”

Love Created Me as Love

by Rev. Rosemarie Tropf, O.M.C.

Last week I heard that Linda Wiesnewski was in hospice and I heard today that she has passed. Linda was my facilitator for the Pathways Course 909, “Wellness Through Healing The Mind,” so I got to know her somewhat then. Sometimes, we also engaged in the monthly calls that she oversaw to help those with chronic illness. In the last few months we had many conversations (on Facebook on the Daily Course Lessons as well as the Rules for Decision FB pages) about the Course and healing the body. As Myron Jones said, “Linda’s classroom was her body.”

Fear of Healing

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

“Is healing frightening? To many, yes. For accusation is a bar to love, and damaged bodies are accusers.” (T-27.II.1:1-3)

The quote above continues “Who has been injured by his brother, and could love and trust him still?” (1:5) It seems to be the state of our world today, doesn’t it? And when I look at my own responsibility in the ‘state of the world’ I can clearly say that I have been a grand participant in this consciousness… until recently.

Beyond Acceptance Is Perfect Love

by Rev. Andrea Sassa Archuleta, O.M.C.

Walking with wandering eyes, I rest my gaze upon the statuesque pines before me, drawn to the long crevices in between their layered fertile skins — those scented crevices of sweet vanilla — and I feel how comfortably seated these pines are in being the forest.

“So, they don’t have feelings of sadness or loneliness in them?” I ask.

“Well, they might. But they don’t get attached to those feelings,” is Spirit’s reply.

Listening to the Music of the Heavens

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

We’ve all been there: We get into ‘the zone’ and things flow easily; life is a breeze. But then it ends, and we get stuck and can’t seem to find the rope, the feeling, the connection that we can grab hold of which will pull us back into the stream of good energy. There are many distractions that we seem to feel attracted to and follow, all kinds of thoughts to hold on to and spin another story. At times there seem to be no good ones anywhere.

I’ve found that these distractions, these obstacles and familiar thoughts of ‘I should, I have to, I ought to,’ etc., seem to have a strong hold on me. What does work, however, is to remember that this Moment is the exact and best time to change my mind. I can choose a new thought right now, I can decide to follow the thought that I really want which is leading me to the right and chosen goal.

One Face

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

I notice a nagging unworthiness, a not good enough, not getting enough done, not “waking up” fast enough. I sense an “internal rut.” Is there anyway out of this I ask my Self. Must I be plagued with this again? It is a gnawing deep within which surfaces now and again, telling me that something is “radically wrong.” I name the problem which I always find very helpful > “internal rut.” I pause and hear the solution > Internal Guidance.

In the pause, Inspiration names the internal rut specifically: “I don’t truly believe in my True Self. That is, I am not certain about who I am. If I am not certain about who I am, it follows that I am not certain about who and what Love is because who I am is an extension of Love.”

Playing Golf

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

The sport of golf had little attraction for me until recently. I haven’t played much in my life. But I feel now like I have been guided to start playing as I enter these senior years of life. I borrowed a friend’s old set of clubs, took a few lessons from a pro, and started hitting golf balls six days a week. This has been going on for over 2 months now.

Today, for my 66th birthday, I received a new set of Callaway clubs from my wife. I feel like the 8-year old Larry who got a brand new baseball glove for his birthday after first playing with his big brother’s old cast off. I can feel that same sense of little kid excitement today.
