When two people meet, it is such a special moment. Stretched before them are infinite possibilities of discovery. What is this person’s story this time? Where do their stories cross? How will their stories be helpful to each other? How will their interactions affect the awakening of the Sonship?

There is nothing that my holiness cannot do. Wow! Is that powerful or what? If I am holy and there is nothing that my holiness cannot do, that must mean that I cannot fail. That must also mean that I am invulnerable. If I cannot fail and I am invulnerable, then it follows that I can live eternally.
Speed bump! Whoa! Hold on! I don’t think that I want to live eternally. I don’t even think I want to do 100 years. The past 58 were pure agony with the exception of a few smiles here and there. Yet, those smiles were all temporary. Nothing good lasts.
With that last sentence, I can feel the tugging of Holy Spirit as He brings me back to center. Let’s add, “In this world of form, time and space.” Nothing good lasts in this world of form, time and space. Okay. This has been a correction in thought. Isn’t that what this Course is supposed to be about?

Occasionally I wake in the night. Several years ago, I did that on a Thursday night and turned on my radio to bore me back to sleep. There was a man named Gary Renard being interviewed on one of those nighttime talk show hosts. My interest peaked when I heard him use the word Oneness a couple of times. Renard had written book titled Disappearance of the Universe. After the interview was over I went back to sleep but not before I promised myself I would buy the book.

“The story I tell myself is…” This is a simple phrase that my friend Evonne, a psychologist, introduced me to. This little phrase will help you see what illusions you are trying to make real.
“OK, but what do I do with this phrase?” you may ask. Let me explain further.

As we get closer to the holidays, it seems that my fears of lack seem to creep into my thoughts more and more. It is also the time of the year that property taxes are due. So, my ego seems to work overtime at this time of the year! Whenever I am not at peace and these ego thoughts start to creep into my mind, these are a two of the exercises that are very helpful to me:

This morning when I woke up I immediately noticed that Kathy had risen before me and gone downstairs. This was unusual because she always worked later than me and thus usually rose after me. I also wondered, “What is she doing downstairs that would cause her to rise so early?” And then I remembered… The day that my life ended? And the day (that same day) that my life, a new now, began again?
Seemingly, on July 19th, when I repeatedly kissed the river coldness of Kathy’s body, I immediately slipped into a twilight zone of another dimension.

“Now are we one with Him Who is our Source.” ACIM Lesson 164
Amazing how Spirit works. I have not heard from my youngest daughter for some time and have been unable to reach her. Mystified, I went to sleep asking for Peace.
January-March, 2011
Peace is the Way through the Door
Creating a Life waiting for you to live it.
Nothing to postpone until the
circumstances are just right.
Nothing to delay until you
can slip out of sight.
All your needs will be met,
All you fears have been wept.

As a newly ordained minister of Pathways of Light, my ego often tries to make me feel that I’m not yet worthy of making a substantial contribution to our membership. Fortunately, I have so much faith in our Father in Heaven, that I have the strength to bid these thoughts farewell and I will keep chasing them away till they know they are too weak to try to enter. A large part of me must have felt unworthy of my new title or the Holy Spirit decided to be very forceful about teaching me and others some lessons.

There are millions of shades and variations of faith and doubt with which I face the Holy Spirit and His great Counsel. Amid all of this I ask myself what I need to do to take Holy Spirit seriously. To take Him seriously means to take Him at His holy word and to give Him the opportunity to respond to me in the way that He has promised.

I’m a homeowner. This role brings with it certain expectations. As a Course student, I would call them forgiveness opportunities. Recently, I had an experience which taught me just how helpful Holy Spirit can be when I’m willing to ask for help.

I was so happy and excited about finishing my coursework with Pathways of Light. I keep praying to God to use me as an instrument of his peace.
My ego began to try to weave it’s way into my mind. Feelings of doubt began to seep into my consciousness. What shall I say to people? How do I get my work going? Will anyone want to accept my help? I tried to put these thoughts out of my mind. I got a message to practice patience; Holy Spirit knows when the time is right.

Jesus of A Course in Miracles teaches us that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. What if the Kingdom of Heaven were in my mind? What if I were the ruler of my kingdom? Right now that is, not some far off beautiful kingdom. What does my kingdom look and feel like right now?

It has come to me that everything is just a thought and has only the meaning I assign to it. For the past few days I have found a way to release the charge of a thought or emotion.

This past spring I began experiencing some trepidation about the idea of having a split mind. Would that be like having two heads? As this thought embedded itself more deeply, fear began to rear its ugly head. I knew this was the “cubicle self mind,” this is the ego in WNYHOO, up to its old shenanigans.
I saw the cubicle self mind as a cube cast out of Heaven and floundering in a void completely disconnected from Inspiration (Holy Spirit). It had no control over its apparent situation. There it was, an alien cubicle creature ousted out of creation, exiled in the Land of Inspiration II, the cubicle sequel of Heaven, the Land of Inspiration.
