What Is Guided Is Provided

by Rev. Sylvia Joy, O.M.C.

Since I was very little, my highest joy was always in singing and communing with God. I was aware that I came here to follow a path back Home and that He was leading me. Through the years I remained aware of and cherished His Presence. After many years in a very successful career as manager, I started to feel an inner calling, as if something was missing and I started to wonder what it was.

The One About The Song of Prayer

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

“Myron* and I are going to teach from The Song of Prayer on ACIM Radio*,”  my ex-wife Nancy informed me a few weeks ago. “Would you like to read the book with me and then talk about it?”

My first response was thinking, “not really, I already know about prayer and forgiveness and healing,” then almost immediately was my thought that “the ego always speaks first.”  “Sure,” I said, “It would probably be a good idea for me to review that pamphlet.”

How Do We Know Whether We Are Helping or Hindering?

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

All of my life I struggled with that one. I was always a little bit too sensitive; I couldn’t stand seeing anyone suffer. So there I would go, jumping head first into the dance of being overly helpful.

From Specialness to Holiness, from Hatred to Love

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

Remember that song that asked the question: Why do we always hurt the ones we love?

Why do I feel at times so tense and in rage in my partner’s presence? After all, we’ve been together for over 28 years and I still react in rage and feel the need to defend myself. I say I love God, but how can I love Him when I attack His Son, my brother, my one Self? Since ACIM says there is no one out there, is the person I see as my partner really only a symbol of an ancient hate?

Embracing Enlightenment or the Now Moment

by Rev. Quiara Escobar, O.M.C.

This journey to attain Enlightenment has led me to a new way of seeing. Questioning my thoughts has led me to trust a part of myself that I have not paid too much attention to. The Holy Spirit in my mind is the memory of God that I carry around — a Companion I am learning is far beyond my human understanding. God is defined by my current level of acceptance of these concepts I practice — to go beyond concept to acceptance and practical universal application, and to see enlightenment as a present moment focus and acceptance of Reality without my interpretation.

The Sandbox

by Rev. Veronika Wilcox, O.M.C.

I am currently enjoying going through Pathways of Light course 210: Star Child again. In the beginning of the course, life in this world is compared to playing in a sandbox. ‘Imagine a child playing in a sandbox, making an imaginary castle with its own little kingdom in the sand.’

My brother and myself, when we were children, played just like this on the floor of our living room. We would take some chess figures and arrange them in such a way that we each had our own kingdom. Then we would put toy houses and toy trains and trams around. When we finished, we would stage a war and destroy it all. Afterwards we peacefully tidied it all up.

Letting Peace Lead the Way

by Revs. Robert and Mary Stoelting

One very important lesson that comes up for us in many different ways is to reinforce the habit of going to peace first before deciding anything. This includes interpreting any event or experience. Going to peace first is how we resign as your own interpreter and invite the true Interpreter into our awareness. When we remember to go to peace first, we allow ourselves to be carried. It is the arrogance of the ego that insists it knows what anything means or how to think about or decide what to do about anything in the world.

Learning to Surrender and the Miracle That Occurred

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

I experienced a genuine miracle, a miracle in every sense. Here is how it came about.

I’ve been practicing full surrender, becoming the empty shell. I am letting go of the self so that I can know Self. It’s a full time job requiring constant vigilance.  A Course in Miracles begins by teaching me that my thoughts do not mean anything, and are showing me a meaningless world. It helps me to understand that there is another way to see, and that I can have that experience if I will allow the Holy Spirit to correct my thoughts and heal my mind.

Transformation

by Rev. Veronika Wilcox, O.M.C.

Dear Light,

I know that You will transform me
For that is what You do.
Yet I find that I’d like to stay
Where I find myself —
Namely in a box

Launch of Pathways of Light ACIM Study Group Program

by Rev. Ken Gorman, O.M.C.

“Where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am.” In the last issue of Miracles News we wrote about the power of ‘joining’ and how ACIM study groups were one of the great vehicles for many people in the Course in Miracles community to facilitate the deep connections with other students that can quicken our awakening process.

This month we are pleased to announce the launch of the Pathways of Light ACIM Study Group Program. This new program serves multiple purposes, including providing a program for ministers who want to start ACIM study groups but would like some support and guidance. For students of ACIM who want to join a study group, the program will provide access to a comprehensive database of both in-person and phone study groups facilitated by ordained Pathways ministers.

Undoing Old Beliefs

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

When I started Lesson 1 of A Course in Miracles back in 1995, I became afraid. After all, it says “Nothing I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] means anything. After reading it, I sat quietly. I knew that if I pursued this line of study my entire life would change. I sensed this Truth and it frightened me because I did not know how or in what way it would change… but, it would.

Letting God In

Rev. Gary W. Ledson, O.M.C.

“What is the cost of healing when even the wealthiest cannot buy it? Willingness to let God in. The gates of Heaven are within. Will you let God in?” (The Mentor Within by Mary Gerard)

Will you let God rise up in you? Will you let Him come through you? Will you step aside and allow God to come forth? Will you let go of your beliefs and thoughts and interpretations and judgments and allow God, His Presence, His Love to flow out of you, covering and penetrating what you see and hear and feel? Are you willing to remember and join with What you really are? Will you allow yourself to be your Self? …to remember you are God remembering God …that you are God Being God …that you are Love loving …that you are forgiveness, forgiving?
