Living in the World While Waking Up

by Rev. Tarra Bennett, O.M.C.

My husband and I were returning from our Christmas vacation by car, which is not exactly the time of year for exploring as the back roads are sometimes blocked by snow. However the scenery can be very beautiful along the ocean towns where we live, even in wintertime, so we decided to treat ourselves as we had the entire day.

The first three towns we visited had easy access and the drive through each town was relaxing and scenic.

However, the fourth town that we decided to check out was on a dirt road that extended twenty-five kilometers off the main highway. My husband, Steve, was having second thoughts due to the distance and the road. However, he decided to go along with me since I really wanted to explore. Knowing that it was a dirt road, it would be more remote and more inviting for me.

Being Drawn In

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

Why have I been so strongly drawn to the teachings of A Course in Miracles? I had no previous strong spiritual beliefs. Although I attended Sunday school and became confirmed at age 13 as a Presbyterian, I stopped attending church and praying shortly after.

When I was a kid, I prayed for certain outcomes to take place that didn’t happen. Looking back, the things I prayed for were insignificant. I lost faith, however, that God was listening or watching me. Later on, the dogma of organized religion turned me off, as did the long history of violence in the name of God.

The One About Lesson 2

by Rev. Stephan Mead, O.M.C.

“I have given everything I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] all the meaning it has for me.” (W-pI.2)

It was Sunday, February 1st, about noon. I was up at our cabin on Whidbey Island preparing for my partner, Nancy, (who was in Seattle picking up my granddaughter,) and about a dozen friends, who were coming over to watch the Superbowl. I had the big screen TV on the pre game activities. Company was starting to arrive with enough food and treats to party through the evening, and Nancy made the 1:30 ferry. This game was going to be the most watched event in history! All was well! All was perfect!

Holy Spirit, Why Am I Doing This?

by Carly D. Glasmyre

As a Pathways of Light ministerial candidate, I am currently working on Course 112: Knowing Your True Purpose with Rev. Maria Felipe. In this course, one of the assignments is to ask Holy Spirit a question, and write down the answer received. When I got to this assignment, I listened within for what I needed to ask and was surprised when this came up: Why am I doing this? Why am I taking these Pathways of Light courses? Why am I doing A Course in Miracles? What is my true focus? What is the practice I should commit to?

Don’t Sweat Small Stuff

by Rev. Lorraine Merritt, O.M.C.

Don’t sweat small stuff…

Don’t sweat small…

Don’t sweat…

Don’t…

Do!

If I sit still and listen, the answer always comes. Even when it comes as if it were a tutorial.

How Can We All Get Along?

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

When we incarnate into this earthly existence, it becomes our nature to fight with each other, attack, discriminate and disregard those that we associate with every day. It isn’t uncommon to have a smile on our faces while, under the mask, we are seething. If we are all the “Son Of God,” how can we be so cruel to each other?

From the time we are small children, fighting with our siblings and throughout our lives with our classmates and then spouses and others, we seem to have continuous strife with our brethren. So why do we seem so compelled to continue to manifest war in our lives?

Where Am I Putting My Faith?

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

I am currently studying the Pathways of Light Ministers Courses. I was working on course 901: Introduction to Miracles Practice at the time I participated in a call with Robert and Mary and other pathways ministers. Mary suggested we write down the following quote, and ask Holy Spirit how we can apply this in our lives:

“Put all your faith in the Love of God within you; eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. This is the answer to whatever confronts you today.” (W-p1.4:3-4)

What Am I?

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

I am continuing to contemplate “Who is Maria?’

I get this: that I hate myself, and then I get that I am a ‘set of thoughts which make up ‘me’.

I am asking for Help to let go of the judgment of Maria.

It’s a Whole New World

by Rev. Robert Thompson, O.M.C.

I have lived so many lifetimes…
in this life… I’ve lived but once.
Seeking to fill my half-filled glass
with all my childish stunts.

Then, my glass was finally filled
up to the very top!
Then it started overflowing,
and never, never stopped.

Forgiving Words

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

Forgiving is a word that many of our egos grab hold of and analyze. First, our ego questions whether forgiveness for the act we judged as “wrong” is even deserved.  If our egoic self does allow it to be “granted”, it then (perhaps subconsciously) interprets it as something we are graciously giving to someone else even though the act they (supposedly) did is not really worthy of our forgiveness.  And, deep within, if we are honest, we know we have not truly forgiven the person for that act we judged as “wrong.”  We know this because when we think of that person, the same act comes into our consciousness and we are not at peace.

Me, Myself and I

by Rev. Rick Willey, O.M.C.

Me, myself and I is a secret little lie!
Don’t look too close… it’s rather gross
and just might make you cry.

I made up a story to give myself glory
to get me to believe that all I tell
will keep me from hell.

This plan I did conceive!
I create confusion by projecting illusion.
Something for me to see.

Prison Ministry

by Rev. Joe Wolfe, O.M.C.

My name is Joe Wolfe, founder of Spirit Light Outreach, an effort that continually delivers A Course in Miracles and related books to prisoners. I’m also an ex-prisoner and soon to be ordained into the Pathways of Light Ministry in January.

For over ten years now prisoners from all over the country have been writing to request some of the books I make available to them. Many of these prisoners have displayed remarkable changes in their perception and have expressed genuine gratitude for having been extended the helping hands that offer the Hope, Love, Light and the Peace of God that they so desperately seek.

Because of these efforts some prison administrations have begun to allow “A Course in Miracles groups” and prisoner gatherings to exist and continue. What has also continued is an over-whelming viral effect; prisoners sharing the books with other prisoners and more and more requests pouring in every single day!

A Reflection of Ideas, Parts 1 & 2

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

Part 1

For a long time now I have accepted that I am 100% responsible for my life, and then I realized I was 100% responsible for the world. I understand that if I am aware of something, it is there because I desire it to be there. I can find endless quotes from all the sections of the Course that tell me I do this to myself. For a long time, even though I knew it must be true, I was resistant to it because it made me feel guilty to think about it. As I began to let go of the belief that guilt is real, I could see that responsibility did not imply guilt, and then I started receiving more clarity.

My Role

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

As I feel the pain of the world I see
I realize it has come from me.

Every time I judged another’s life
I added to the pain and strife.

Every time I looked with a critical eye
I added to the collective lie.
