Ask to See Things Differently

by Rev. Larry Glenz, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

“Forgive and you will see things differently. These are the words the Holy Spirit speaks in all your tribulations, all your pain, all suffering regardless of its form.” (W-193.5:1-2)

The timing of this writing is November 2, 2020 — one day before Election Day. Despite my strong personal preferences in voting, I am asking Holy Spirit to help me to suspend my judgment about what I think my government needs to do for the welfare of all. I am asking Spirit in advance to help me let go of the outcome of Election 2020.

The year 2020 has attained an infamous reputation as one of the very worst of the 21st century to date. The COVID-19 pandemic, inflamed racial tension over police killings, historic storm floods and wildfires, all are taking place at a time of intense political divisiveness in an election year.

Healing Is Available Now

by Revs. Mary & Robert Stoelting

Robert and I have been focused on mind healing for many years now and it has paid off in greater ways than we could have imagined. One of the most important practices that has helped us is to stop and remind ourselves and each other to pause for inspiration in how to see this differently. This means that we had to stop and listen… The Course puts it beautifully:

“… we need only call to God, and all temptations disappear. Instead of words, we need but feel His Love. Instead of prayers, we need but call His Name. Instead of judging, we need but be still and let all things be healed.” (W-p.II.Intro.10:2-5)

Recently our big color printer stopped working in the middle of printing materials for a course. Instead of getting agitated about the inconvenience, we realized that this was the perfect time to stop and pause to feel God’s peace and ever present Love…

The Present Moment Is the Gateway to Eternity

by Rev. Dan Strodl, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

When your mind is full of thoughts, you are living in the past or future. This is the ego’s domain. Past and future thoughts bring you into a state of fear, anxiety, guilt, separation, judgments, stress and worry. When you’re in the present moment, you feel relaxed, peaceful and joyous. You are receptive to guidance from the Holy Spirit. Your Inner Teacher can’t be heard when your mind is filled with mind chatter. That is the ego’s plan, to keep you locked in your thoughts.

But you can break free. A Course in Miracles is a mind-training program, and learning to quiet your mind and live in the present moment is within your reach. All you need is willingness and diligence. First, watch your state of being … Are you filled with thoughts? What are you feeling – sad, anxious, fearful, worried? … Or are you peaceful and happy? If your mind is filled with anxiety, redirect your attention to what is in front of you now. Experience the now moment. Feel the energy in your body, hear the sounds around you, be absorbed in whatever you are doing right now… washing your hands, walking in nature, reading these words.

Grace in Everyday Moments

by Rev. Peggy Rivera, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

In choosing a topic today I was moved to address how important it is to see grace every day so that we can find comfort from our Creator in knowing that no matter what happens, we are fine. We are loved no matter what happens in the world of dreams because this is not our true reality. Grace is that connection to the remembrance of that.

A Course in Miracles, Lesson 169, begins with “By grace I live. By grace I am released.” I think that is very important to remember because it tells us that we don’t have to do anything. It’s not something we earn nor something we learn. It is something given to us freely. It also says in Lesson 168, “Your grace is given me. I claim it now.” It teaches us how God’s Love is limitless, and even when we sleep, He Loves us still.

We often try to tell ourselves stories that disprove His unconditional Love for us. But through A Course in Miracles we learn that the ego makes up these stories out of fear. The truth is none of those lies are real. How do we find evidence of this truth? We find the evidence through forgiveness. When we accept that all of us are One, we realize that the only constant in life is Love.

It does not matter if we get mad at someone who cuts us off in traffic or gets pushy at the grocery store. When we try to see them through the eyes of Love and accept that they are also doing the best they can. In that moment we find grace.

COVID-19 from the Perspective of A Course in Miracles

by Rev. Jennifer McSween, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

In March of this year, life as we’ve come to know it came to a screeching halt for most of us in the greater part of the world. The sudden worldwide outbreak and rapidly increasing spread of COVID-19 led to a complete lockdown of schools, businesses, and services. All forms of physical and social interaction with each other were asked to be stopped in an attempt to curb the spread of the virus.

Both the onset of COVID-19 and the ensuing lockdown led to massive changes and losses of our livelihood, loved ones, and our basic social freedoms. This brought up feelings of fear, pain, and/or uncertainty for many, if not most of us. I say “us” because I, too, have experienced the effects of COVID and the challenges of the ensuing lockdown, personally and professionally. Let me tell you how.

Pain Is Not Real — Could This Be True?

by Rev. Myron, Jones, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

I am ready to let go of the physical symptoms I have experienced in the body, and like everything else I have done with the Course, I am taking it one step at a time. I have an ongoing conversation with Jesus about this and have had some helpful thoughts given to me.

For instance, once he told me I was paying way too much attention to the body. I knew immediately he was right. I would have pain and have this inner conversation about what it meant and what I would maybe tell the doctor and what he would say. It was ridiculous. I would have inner conversations about what I should eat or not eat, worried conversations about weight gain.

So, when I catch myself doing that now, I put an immediate stop to it. I look at the thoughts with the Holy Spirit and release them. I ask Him to correct my thinking and heal my mind. I surrender the body and all its problems and needs to the Holy Spirit. I do this as often as I need to and the inner conversations about the body are becoming rarer. I have learned to trust His promises. “Father, I thank You that Your promises will never fail in my experience, if I but test them out.” (W-pII.327.2)
