Letting Go of Limiting Beliefs

by Rev. Joyce Peebles, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Sometimes written words or phrases jump out at us. For me it was the phrase, “when you are ready.” To be ready is to be willing. I am discovering choices I did not know I had, specifically the choice of getting rid of fear and guilt completely.

Pathways of Light courses have us say a preparation before studying the course material. It is, “I am willing to take responsibility for letting go of limiting thoughts and beliefs that reflect separation and specialness.” I’ve read these words many times and had questions about how to do this exactly. The purpose of this article is to give you three distinct ways to actually let go of limiting thoughts and beliefs. I am grateful for the help given to me from others who have shown me exactly how to do this. Jesus tells us this life is an illusion and fear and guilt do not exist. They were made up by me. These are the epitome of the limiting thoughts I need to let go.

Holy Vision Is 20/20 Vision

by Rev. Vicki Evans, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Continuing my 2024 journey, I am furthering my learning by taking Pathways of Light course 905: Special Relationships vs. Holy Relationships.

By taking this course, I have succeeded in prioritizing my goal of transforming specialness to holiness through meditation, daily practice, and looking for opportunities to give myself and others grace in the form of seeing all as One. I have experienced the truth that embracing this Oneness means that “everyone completes you.”

In this course was a meditation I experienced called, “From Specialness to Holiness Meditation.” I really connected with this meditation as I found some practical information such as the importance of letting go of thoughts of blame or anger, guilt and vulnerability. It has also helped me with perceived hurts from the past, which is a work in progress for me.

The first gift of this meditation was a vision that came to me when I went to Holy Spirit and felt the warmth of His Love. In the meditation, I saw red valentine-type hearts leaping forth from this holy union.

Then it came to me that I could practice trading in false ideas of perceived hurts and slights and look instead to find two positive traits in the relationship.

Quiet Above the Battleground

by Rev. Bill Poppa, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

In developing a forgiving mindset, the ego-self resists by not raising to question long-held beliefs about “Who” and “What” I am.

Moreover, my ego personality self does not even question whether the outside material world is the essence of reality. This unconscious bypass is a veil for my True Self to extend outward the peace deep within me to embrace all the Sonship.

My True Self is the Christ Mind and is an extension of God’s Love as Spirit, which is abundant, eternal, and complete joy. The True Self, the Sacred Self, is “Who” I am, and the one Son of God is “What” I am.

How can I receive what is my true inheritance as the Son of God if I do not accept all that I am? This question of identity is a critical aspect of forgiveness. It begins to focus my mind with the intent of waking up from a dream of separation.

Prayer of Atonement

by Rev. Greg Hesch, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Holy Spirit, thank you for another healing day that will be full of love, full of peace and full of forgiveness.…

Thank You for continuing to help us in this awakening process; for reminding us that our brothers and sisters are our saviors and that we are theirs.…

We are the Son of God, One with God, One with all our brothers and sisters, we are One with everything.…

Thank you for reminding us that we are not victims here.…

We’re the ones that thought we wanted to see the separation…

We got scared.…

We thought we chose the ego thought system.…

Now we choose atonement!

Deciding with God

by Rev. Tacey Reese, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

I recently took one of the ACIM Practitioner Courses that is offered by Pathways of Light called The Power of Decision — Cause and Effect.

It helped me develop the practice of continually asking myself, “Am I deciding with God or am I deciding with the ego?” I noticed that ego decisions were reactive decisions, an automatic response to a perceived threat. Sometimes the threats were obvious and sometimes I would have to dig deep to find out what I was feeling threatened by.

I knew that if I was out of peace, I was feeling threatened in some way. That was a helpful insight. So, then I made the decision to respond rather than to react.

Sea of Love

by Rev. Maureen L. Yarbrough, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

The tides of change in this world,
Beat you down in tumultuous waves.

Gritty sand blurs the vision,
Encrusting sight with indecision.
Swim or sink, is that the choice?

In fighting for survival, I lose my voice.
Drowned out by the thrashing of my limbs,

It dawns on me to relax, release, let go…
And I am carried to safety by the winds.

Oftentimes in this life we are presented with obstacles that seem so incredibly impossible to overcome. Loss, grief, fear, disease, sickness, financial fear…the list goes on and on.

In my repeated, and often very painful, experience it has only been in forgiving… in releasing…. letting go, and turning to Holy Spirit, that my faith and trust has been restored.

I Hear Your Love

by Rev. Ashley Rose Legrand, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

I hear your Love
It calls to me in the silence.

A peaceful melody
embracing me
Wrapping its arms
around my mind
Soothing all my fears,
one at a time. 

Into a nothingness
I enter with you.
Holding your hand, the
strength of Heaven is in me.
