Poem for My Star Child

by Rev. Helene Burke, O.M.C.

Inner child
hiding in the corners of fear,
Please look…
Nobody can hurt you here.

No harsh words
In any way,
Only kindness
And lots of play.
Oh, I see
You peeking out now!

The Power of the Inner Voice

by Rev. Patricia Black, O.M.C.

I was a determined, self-employed successful business woman, who for 25 years was highly driven to prove my self-worth in the world, taking financial business risks, making and losing money. I was steadily building a self-image from having a beautiful home, cars, clothes and expensive holidays. I believed that this would make me feel important and that this was my true identity. I entered into an intimate relationship, thinking that it would enhance my life even further as my partner held an important position in society. So wow! Life couldn’t be any better!

The Gleeful Ego

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

The ego gleefully loves to attack and does so constantly. We don’t notice it much because that is considered normal and expected. Someone told me: “If I don’t attack what someone says to me, I am considered stupid and gullible.” We support the ego in all kinds of ways.

This is what I found for myself: There is a part within me that likes to attack, even though in subtle ways. She gets satisfaction from this. Yet, when I look at this and feel this attack thought, I really, really don’t like the feeling it gives me. If I am not willing to tell myself to let it go, I distract myself quickly and don’t do anything about it. But I do want to change it. And I know I can.

You’re an Angel

by Rev. Christine Anderson, O.M.C.

Mother Teresa….”Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” My Pathways buddy, Rev. Debra Bredican, shared this quote with me.

As a member of Holy Spirit’s Awakening Crew, one of my assignments for several years now has been to sing a song entitled “You’re An Angel” to others, when guided by Holy Spirit. Charley Thweatt sings the song on one of his albums. Charley, along with Oman and Shanti, put words from ACIM to music in the 70’s & 80’s, and you can hear this song and others on YouTube. (Charley’s web address is musicangel.com)

Happy Mother’s Day

by Rev. Susan Comello, O.M.C.

They say “Happy Mother’s Day” and I smile and say, “Thank you.” I think of my mother and I smile. I feel closer to her now. She has been gone for over 15 years. I have affection and appreciation for her. My mother is myself. My daughters are myself. My grand-children are myself.

What Is Joy?

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

“What is joy?” A great question a friend of mine asked at a meeting where we were discussing A Course in Miracles. There were three of us at the table. I gave my definition which was that joy is being in peaceful happiness. The third woman gave her definition which was that joy was being in the present moment.

Neither answer resonated with my friend. She felt it should be more, greater than just happiness. After the meeting, the question kept rolling around in my head.

Book Review — Live Your Happy

Colleen Fee

Holy Spirit, I ask for your help and inspiration as I put into words how much I appreciate this wonderfully written book by Rev. Maria Felipe, Live Your Happy.
As a fairly new student of A Course in Miracles and support person for Pathways of Light, this book has made a perfectly timed (by Holy Spirit) and significant tool for my studies of the Course.

Why Allowing = Taking Action

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

Do you have a problem that you think about all the time? As soon as you wake up and while brushing your teeth, driving to work, having lunch and dinner, and finally lying awake in bed when you should be sleeping?

Rather than coming up with a solution, all you’re doing is reviewing the same worries over and over:

The Goal of the Owls

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

One of the great blessings in my life has been to be a coach of the Lynbrook Owls varsity lacrosse team. I now serve as a volunteer assistant coach on a lacrosse program with which I have been involved for 45 consecutive years. In 2008 I turned over the head coaching duties to my friend and colleague who had been my assistant for many years.
I certainly have a great deal of experience coaching high school boys in several sports since 1972. My role, however, has radically changed. It is simple but significant. I help the players and coaches to focus on the Shakti.

The Need to Know

by Rev. Michelle Rado, O.M.C.

I find that my mind really has a hard time letting go of the need to know answers.  My mind prefers to have a step-by-step playbook for how things should be moving forward and it experiences suffering when I don’t have one to follow.

I am at the stage in my awareness where I fundamentally understand the “idea” that I Am Spirit, that I have a mind but I am not the mind, but I still get pretty easily pulled back into identification with my mind.

What Am I?

by Rev. Maura Williams, O.M.C.

When I first started studying the Course, it turned my world up side down. I thought I knew exactly who I was and where I was going. I wasn’t very happy, but I wasn’t extremely unhappy. As I looked out at the world I knew, I figured experiencing ups and downs was just a part of our ever changing world. I could assure myself that not one person here is really happy. Our states of being seem to go up and down with the stock market, the weather or any other circumstance. This is the world of form.

You Are Perfect Love

by Rev. Susan Comello, O.M.C.

Once upon a time I was a sad, lonely human being. Or at least that’s what I believed. Everything was always so hard! I worked and efforted and would try so hard to be happy, to be even okay. But it was always more problems, more disappointments, more hardship. Those times when I did feel some happiness or love always had a cloud hanging over me with a hidden message of gloom: “Even if you are happy for awhile, it will end!”

You Are Not Who You Think You Are

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

Before she was an author and a minister, Reverend Maria Felipe was an actress, a model, and a TV host with a fabulous French boyfriend. She appeared in national commercials, was the first ever Latina boxing announcer, and interviewed World Wrestling Federation competitors in front of audiences of twenty thousand people. People Magazine in Español even referred to her as “Una Campeona Sin rival,” which means a champion without rival. But through it all, she felt insecure, unworthy, and downright miserable.

All that began to change when she discovered A Course in Miracles and eventually went on to get her ministerial training from Pathways of Light.

Now, in her new book, Live Your Happy: Get Out of Your Own Way and Find the Love Within (New World Library, April 22, 2017), Maria shares her more than twenty years of experience studying and living the principles from ACIM. This is not a philosophic explanation of the Course. It is a practical, hands-on guide for actually living it. We hope you’ll enjoy this excerpt from the book.

A Non-Traditional Ministry

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

It is true. I am an Ordained Ministerial Counselor (O.M.C.) from Pathways of Light since 2008. But what best defines my ministry?

My ministry seems to be a tapestry of people, places, and organizations that have weaved in and out of my life over these many years. Whoever or whatever showed up in my past was meant to be there as a lesson in learning ACIM-style forgiveness. Whatever or whoever shows up in my future will be there as the perfect forgiveness opportunity. But it is in the present moment – now - that I most need to stay connected to my Source.
