This is what I want to contemplate today:
“Denial has no power in itself, but you can give it the power of your mind, whose power is without limit. If you use it to deny reality, reality is gone for you.” (T-7.VII.1:5-6)
Again and again in the Course Jesus reminds us that the power of our mind is unlimited. This is so hard for us to comprehend. We have denied this power so thoroughly that we can’t say no to chocolate, or we procrastinate to the point we cause ourselves grief and think there is nothing we can do about it. We fall in and out of love and hurt each other and it seems just to happen to us. We feel like we have no power over our lives at all. And yet, Jesus says we have unlimited power. So we must be doing this to ourselves.

Recently I had one of those days that didn’t quite seem to make sense. At least not at first glance. Have you ever had one of those days? What these days often expose to me is the fact that there are always unseen energies of Love at work on my behalf, whether I am aware of them or not.

If I only believed what I know to be true
then my world would be different,
and yours would be too.
I’d take every step with the Light
by my side without shadows to shun,
or darkness to hide.

“What could you not accept if you but knew that all events, past, present and to come were designed by One whose only intention was for your good?”
That’s a reminder to us from Jesus in Lesson 135 of the Workbook in A Course in Miracles. All events! Every single encounter… every situation… every holy encounter…
For me, those events included following the path of a career criminal. I cared not for my fellow man but only for my own personal self-gratification regardless of who I harmed in the process.

—Stephanie and Tom—
This article is the second in a series of how I’ve experienced miracles through Holy Spirit’s use of my special relationships since becoming an ACIM student seven years ago.
My tale of experiencing miracles through my special relationships with my daughter, Stephanie and her step-dad, my second husband, Tom continued to be an excruciating and painful forgiveness lesson for many years to come after Steph’s attempted suicide.

I want to let you know about an upcoming ongoing festivity via teleconference through Pathways of Light called “Moving in the Pause.” This free teleconference begins October 13, 2014. Drop in any Monday evening 7-8 p.m. central time. The call in number is 1.605.475.5900. The access code is: 9600657. For free books and free shipping or free download go to: http://www.pauseforinspiration.org.
Loving one another as equal lights in the world, we join together as equal bearers of this light to love! In this teleconference everyone is “the teacher,” as our focus is on our Inner Teacher, Inspiration Within. Thus, the class is Self-taught. I am simply a facilitator. Inspiration Within will assign any necessary “Home-work” assignments, thoughts to contemplate and inspire ways of being truly helpful in the world.

Recently, my computer had a virus that was making my experience with it very aggravating. I took it to a store that boasted it would rid my computer of every virus, increase its speed, and guarantee to protect it from further attack for two full years. The cost was $300. My computer was less than two years old and I thought it would be worth the investment to have that professional assistance available.

As the day of July 3rd, 2014 began, all nine Mead siblings were present (occupying bodies) and accounted for. A few hours into the day, that was no longer the case.

In an old Star Trek the Next Generation episode, there is a scene where the character, Deanna Troy (who plays the wise counselor on the spaceship), along with two other characters, are forcefully thrown onto their backs as the result of an explosion. In a documentary about the show, Marina Sirtis, who plays Deanna, tells how she insisted on playing her own character in the scene, rather than using a stunt person. She relates how she broke her tailbone as a result of the fall and how painful it was.

I asked Holy Spirit to lead me to a Workbook lesson that is needed for my highest healing and greatest good. Consistently, I was guided to Lesson 198 in the Workbook: “Only my condemnation injures me.” The first sentence in that Lesson is: “Injury is impossible.” Wow! If that is true, why did I fall and break my hip?

Last year my husband decided that we needed to bring his parents to our area to live so we can look after them. I was happy to do so because I believe strongly in caring for our parents as they get older. However I was a little apprehensive because I have had a rocky relationship with them.

I have been asked about my relationship with A Course in Miracles. There are many sides to it but the one which has been most important to me was the discipline of practicing and applying the lessons. Reading books is a start, but only a start. Unless practice and application are added little progress or change can be expected. The one year of lessons are brilliantly designed to bring the student to the important awareness that his thoughts don’t mean anything, except what meaning he gives to them.

I must have passed right over the mention of The Laws of Love when I read that section of the Course before, but last Sunday someone mentioned The Laws of Love, and it rang out to me like a loud bell. It had an amazing reaction within me: As I heard these words, there was a feeling of another kind of awareness within me. It was profound and gentle and what I noticed about it was that it radiated from me through the body into the world.

I am so grateful for the many wonderful changes that have taken place in my life since enrolling in the Pathways of Light Ordained Ministerial Counselor program. Now that I have worked through most of the lessons and ordination is near, I am amused as I think back and remember all of the reasons that I originally came up with for deciding to enroll in this life changing program.

I have a five slot CD player in my car. I’ve discovered that it was easier to quick change a CD when I only had a single slot player, so I find that I don’t change the CD’s very often, sometimes not for months at a time. There is one CD that I haven’t changed since I first loaded it seven year ago. Seven years! I keep telling myself it is because I like the music so much, but I know there is a much deeper reason.
