Behind the Curtain

by Rev. Sherry Jonckheere, O.M.C.

We know the perils of earth yet we step into the dream like an old coat, not thinking about the consequences. It is only in the briefest of moments when we see the play being played out before our eyes that we stir with awakening.

It is in this moment where Eternity and Love reside: A space so illuminated, so filled with grace that our memory is restored — our memory of what we had forgotten; a true essence of innocence, beauty, sinlessness, perfection, unconditional, everlasting Love — exquisiteness, a place without limits just for our awakening.

A Holiday in the Hills and One More Step On My Journey Home

by Rev. Anne Mepham, O.M.C.

It was two weeks after being ordained as a Ministerial Counselor. I was looking forward to a couple of days in the hills of Derbyshire with an old childhood friend. We had planned this months ago and I was excited about walking in the hills again. I had been experiencing some pain but I had no intention of cancelling my trip. Even so I was a little anxious. I wouldn’t be telling anyone about my difficulty because I know that whatever may appear as a bodily difficulty needs a correction of my thought, so discussing this with someone would serve no purpose other than alarm others.

The One About Anger

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

I opened the Course the other day and was drawn to the conditions necessary for anger to manifest; “Anger cannot occur unless you believe that you have been attacked, that your attack is justified in return, and that you are in no way responsible for it.” (T-6.Intro.1:3)

With curiosity, I contemplated how those words might be helpful to me. Lately my life seems to be pretty much anger free. (Hey, sometimes it happens — don’t be so surprised!) Because I really believed there was a message for me, I felt much opened to receive.

My Experience of the “Gift of Lilies” Conference

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

I have attended several ACIM conferences over the past 5 years since my retirement from teaching high school history classes. This recent conference in Chicago, however, was a particularly special treat for me. I felt honored to be a presenter with Myron Jones representing Pathways of Light.

The Last Betrayal

Rev. Cathy Doran, O.M.C.

Recently I experienced a betrayal. Someone I love did something so hurtful that it changed our relationship forever. My heart was broken. For days, in fact, I thought the relationship would be ended. When I first discovered what had happened, I shook violently for hours. I cried from a deep well in my chest. In the midst of this, though, I found that I could not name the emotion. It was not anger. Looking back, I think it was a great sadness. I felt lost. I reached for Holy Spirit, not really knowing what to ask for, only knowing the answer lay with Him.

Radical Empathy

Rev. Kimberly Beck, O.M.C., C.Ht.

A Course in Miracles teaches us that we can read and apply the Text and Workbook lesson exercises in complete silence and still make a HUGE impact on the world. However, we discover and learn about ourselves in relationship to each other. As we interact with each other, we become aware of the areas in our mind where we need healing and ask for assistance from Holy Spirit to show us the way home to His truth.

Reboot!

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

The other day, I turned my computer on and got a blank screen. My husband was gone and not being at all technical, I was at a loss as to what to do. I tried pushing the start button again and a message appeared on the screen asking if I wanted to run a “Trouble shooting” program. Not knowing where the program came from and being afraid of hackers, I thought I better not. I thought I pushed the cancel option, but the program started to run anyway. I pushed “Cancel” again and another message came up that said: “You can’t cancel this program once it has started.” As the program ran, a line kept moving across the screen and a note above it said: “This may take several minutes. It will not erase any personal files.” I must admit that the running of this program was causing me some anxiety, but I couldn’t see any way of stopping it.

All Is Well

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

The gates of the cemetery were just ahead. I could already feel the anxiety creeping over me. “Mom,” I said to myself, “this is not going to be easy.”

Soon the line of cars parked near my dad’s grave came into view. I could feel my heart beating more quickly than usual.

Anxiety’s Crafty Compadre

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

In the last Miracles News issue, April-June, 2013, I shared how Spirit guided me from living in days driven by task-lists to being in days guided by Spirit’s creative flow. In Spirit’s flow, my ego’s driving anxiety to maintain and complete those lists was gone, or so I thought. After surrendering “lists” to Spirit, that ego-mind of mine revealed just how crafty it is at trying to keep anxiety in my life.

“And the Train Was On Time”

by Rev. Kathryn Vera Streng, O.M.C.

In late April, I was thrilled to attend the “A Gift of Lilies” A Course in Miracles conference in Chicago. While waiting in the train station, I learned from the helpful ticket agents that “Train Day” was coming up soon. “How fun it would be,” I thought, “to take Wrenna, my precious three year old granddaughter on a train ride on Train Day.” The agents created a mock itinerary showing how we could take the train from Kalamazoo and ride an hour to New Buffalo. We’d have four hours there, then return to Kalamazoo, where my vehicle waited.

God Is In the Details…

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

I was one of those people who woke in the morning with a list running in her head. It was that way for years. For a long time, I thought this was good. I thought I was helping myself by immediately setting my day in order and then getting right to it. I prided myself on how much I accomplished and that I did not “waste” time sitting idly. Every second had a purpose!

On My Son’s Transition Back to Spirit — A Poem

by Rev. Judy Rae Angus, O.M.C.

My soul aches
and undulates…
as it comes to life.

Triggered awake
by the pain, the grief
it moves…
breathes…

Healing with the 30-Day Home Study Program: Listen & Receive

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

For the past eight months, the body that Linda made in the story of separation has been acting out with a vengeance — pain, inflammation, Lymes. It doesn’t matter. It’s all effects of an unhealed mind that believes it is guilty and has to punish itself because in one instant it had a deluded thought that it could separate from God. And, like ACIM says it forgot to laugh at this silly thought. So, because of the belief that the guilt is real, Linda believes that suffering is necessary to atone for her “sins” of separation. She even believes the pain is real. When she saw pictures of her blood cells, she really went into fear mode and it seemed so scary. Weren’t we taught in the separation story that what we see with the physical eyes tells the real story?

Coaching LaCrosse with Shakti

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

I am in my 41st consecutive year as a high school coach with the same lacrosse team — the Lynbrook Owls. Having retired five seasons ago from being the head coach, I have since served as a volunteer assistant coach to the program. My role is now remarkably different and, for me, very exciting.
