Miracles 101

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

“There is no order of difficulty in miracles. One is not “harder” or “bigger” than another. They are all the same. All expressions of love are maximal.”

“Miracles are natural. When they do not occur, something has gone wrong.” (T-1.I.1:1-3)

“Miracles are everyone’s right.” (T-1.I.7:1)

Well, What Exactly Is a Miracle?

I am asked this a lot when people know that I work with the text, A Course in Miracles. Some ask if the Course will teach them how to walk on water, or turn water into wine, maybe even part the sea. Now wouldn’t that be cool!

Helpting Each Other Home

by Maura Williams

It’s never about what you’re doing. It’s never about your behavior. It’s always about your thoughts and sometimes it’s about what you’re not doing by doing whatever it is you are doing.

You can take just about any “bad” habit and apply this to it.

I often interrupt people when they talk. I think I know what they’re going to say and I’m afraid I’ll forget what I want to say, so I interrupt them and blurt out my comment.

Let’s look not a what I did that was so rude, but at what I didn’t do: I didn’t let them finish. I don’t know what they were going to say and now I probably won’t get to hear it, because I’ve hurt their feelings. But there’s more. In not letting them finish, I didn’t allow the Holy Spirit room to reply through me. My ego thought its agenda was more important and rushed in to “help” me. I don’t need this kind of help. It is not loving, it is not kind and it is not caring. It’s selfish, rude and unnecessary.

Dream Big

by Rev. Kurt Koch, O.M.C.

Hi, my name is Kurt Koch (aka Kurtis Myson) and I was recently ordained as a Pathways of Light Ministerial Counselor. I am also a musician and I have been writing songs as I have been working my way through the Pathways of Light Ministerial Training.

Music is the language of Spirit. Speaking just from my own experiences, spiritual music opens up my soul. As I began to work on these courses, I started to notice how events in my life would bring forth the lesson to be learned in the particular course I was taking.

The One About Prayer

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

Has anyone in any spiritual path been advised not to pray? Prayer seems to be one of the first solutions offered to every articulated problem, real or imagined. In A Course in Miracles we are reminded of this about prayer: “The Bible emphasizes that all prayer is answered, and this is indeed true.” (T-9.II.3.1)

Believing the course was written to help us wake up to Reality, this business of prayer might be pretty important, especially to those of us with problems. Also in Text, Chapter 9, “Everyone who has ever tried to use prayer to ask for something has experienced what appears to be failure.” (T-9.II.I.1) Everyone! That includes me too. If my mind wasn’t already split, trying to make sense of these two passages would have done it! I am to rely on the truth that, “all prayer is answered,” AND my experience shows me that what I “pray” for, I pretty much fail to get? Haven’t I just increased my problems?

Trust Walk with Holy Spirit

by Rev. Trish Kearns, O.M.C.

Two months ago I purchased a condo on the beach in Ormond Beach, Florida. It was a vacation rental and it seemed perfect for me to make use of various times throughout the year to vacation as well as to visit Pathways of Light. Holy Spirit pretty much “dropped” this condo onto my lap. All I did was make the decision that I am ready to follow His Will and not my own. Within one week of having my offer on the condo accepted, a woman offered me $20,000 above market value for my current residence which was not even on the market. So I took a few days to work with Holy Spirit and see if this was His Will for me. Somehow I signed the papers to sell my home.

Letter from a Prisoner

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

The following is a letter from a prisoner I received just this past July (2015). Like many other letters received over the years, this one expresses the deep level of gratitude that pours out from behind prison walls.

To Joe Wolfe, Spirit Light Outreach; PO Box 443, Enola PA 17025-0443

A few weeks ago I received a copy of (your book) Letter To A Prisoner. I spent several days reading and re-reading it and am presently in the process of reading it for a third time, using a high-lighter to mark those passages that jump out at me. Last week I started exercises (365 daily lessons from the Workbook in A Course in Miracles) and I am committed to sticking with it.

Celebrating a Journey

by Rev. Georgeanne Medved

I have not had much to say or write lately. Our Mother made her transition in June and I was so very happy for her, but also sad for myself and our family. Mother did not want to be on this plane anymore and refused all medications and help. She told each of us that she loved us and goodbye.

She was 93 and her organs simply shut down. Imagine the prayers we all said imploring God to take her in His arms the last ten days of her life. She wanted to be with God and we let go and let Him decide the day and time.

Awakening Through My Special Relationships — Part 5: My Frenchman

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

This article is Part 5 in a series of articles of Holy Spirit’s use of my special relationships for the purpose of healing. It picks up where I left off in Part 4 with the miracles I experienced prior to traveling to Europe to visit my daughter, Danielle and alluding to more miracles while there which led to my living a miraculous life today. 

I arrived in Paris a week before Christmas, 2011. I could not have been happier! Not only was I about to be united with my daughter who reflects my love and joy but I was in one of my favorite places, the city of lights and love. From the instant I saw my daughter jumping up and down trying to catch my eye on the other side of the window in the airport upon my arrival to the time she left me once I’d boarded the train from Strasbourgh back to Paris two weeks later to catch my flight, it was non-stop abundance of love, peace, joy and one-mindedness!

Why

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

In a world where hate and fear abound…

Why are we afraid to show our love?

Why do we walk right by a suffering soul and harden our hearts?

Why do we avoid our brother’s glance and withhold a loving smile?

Why do we think lovingly of the others in our lives only to withhold its expression?

My Brother

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

Can I truly know his path
Do I know his unseen pain
His hidden heartaches
fears and shame
If holy writ bids never judge
Then wrongly I have
nursed my grudge

How Practicing the Course Lessons Brings True Salvation

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

One of the challenges that keeps coming up for me is what to do when I perceive there is something wrong with the body. Do I rush to the doctor or rush to the medicine cabinet for a pill to take care of the problem? Thank goodness God put the Holy Spirit in our minds to help us sort out what is real from what isn’t. I’m learning that the purpose of every challenge that presents itself to me is only an opportunity to show me where there is still a need to heal my thinking about what I think the problem is.

However, sometimes, when I am experiencing a lot of fear, I am not sure whether I am listening to Spirit or the ego that at times can sound so spiritual.

How Does True Healing Occur?

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

Is it possible to achieve healing from God when this illness has gone on for so long? This is the question we discussed as a group recently at our monthly call for the Chronically Ill Support Group. It was my turn to answer that question. Here is what I answered:

ACIM Lesson 136 says healing is of the mind, not the body. I can remember as an eight year old faking pain to stay home from Sunday School. It worked until about 30 minutes after I said it. Then I was jumping around on the bed with my sisters and my mum said, “You aren’t sick. Get dressed Missy, off to church with you.” I crumpled onto the bed and tried to insist that I was sick. “Please believe me,” I said. That is making use of the mind to create a sick body.

The following is a discussion we had on the following question which I volunteered to address, followed by group discussion.

When someone dies from a certain illness, does that mean they were not healed?

Peace

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

I use Peace to center me
I feel peace as Me
I return to Peace and all is well.
What a wonderful feeling Peace truly is.

I think Peace and it shifts
From confusion to clarity
My heart beats but I don’t really feel it.
My heart is no longer an organ but Peace
It is not even at peace but just Peace.
