Lesson 84 — Love Created Me Like Itself

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

“I am in the likeness of my Creator. I cannot suffer, I cannot experience loss and I cannot die.”

This is a hard concept to really grasp. As a Pathways minister, I counsel people all of the time and it becomes more and more clear that each situation, each circumstance is caused by our forgetfulness.

How the Miracle Heals All Appearances

by Rev. Nouk Sanchez, O.M.C.

There is only one Power — God’s all-encompassing Love. Anytime we see or feel anything other than this, we are believing in illusions. God’s Love is eternally changeless, just like our holy Self. Jesus’ message is uncompromising. In order to bring about consistent miracles, we must cultivate a single-minded conviction in only ‘one’ Power — God’s Love. While we still retain our belief in a hierarchy of illusions, we will reject knowing and demonstrating that there is no order of difficulty in miracles.

Guilty… NO!  I AM… YES!

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

In the dream of separation, Linda, the dreamer has been hypnotized by messages constantly bombarding her and filled with fearful stories of sickness, sin, and death. Until becoming ACIM student, she wasn’t taught to even question the messages and asking whether they were true. She didn’t know she had within her an Inner Teacher that was the Voice of Truth and Wisdom, the Voice for God. She didn’t know she could go within at any time and ask her Inner Teacher, the Holy Spirit, to help her sort out what was real from what was a made up story. Until she learned to trust this Voice, she was lost in a dream of terror and guilt, and in stories of pain, sickness and suffering.

Feet First

by Rev. Vicki Rostant, O.M.C.

Sometimes I feel guilt around the fact that, even though in my heart I want to be healed, and I do put some effort into remembering I am free, I don’t make as much effort as I should; I don’t remember the truth as often as “I would like” and I despair that I’m getting nowhere closer to any healing. Then something happens that shows that Holy Spirit knows that there is willingness in my heart and that no effort is ever wasted.

As I Recognize Truth, I Am Happy Everywhere

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

One day as I was praying I said to God, “Father I hope I am really learning all the lessons I came here to learn because I really don’t want to ever have to come back to the earth. It is too painful here.” Almost immediately I heard the reply, “You will know you have learned the lessons when that is no longer true for you, Heaven is not a place out there somewhere that you will be transported to after your earthly existence is over. It is in your mind now. So whether you are in a body on the earth or not you will feel only Love, Joy and peace.”

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.
