Old Shoes and the Ego

by Rev. Robin Singler, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

I helped my partner move his belongings into a storage unit recently, and after hours of walking on cement floors and being active, I noticed that my feet hurt. In particular, the side of my left heel was experiencing more pain than the other foot. The next day I noticed that my feet felt better and was grateful that the pain had subsided.

I went to take a walk outside and put on the same old pair of tennis shoes that I had used the day before to help my boyfriend. I soon noticed that my left heel began to hurt again and my mind began to question why. The first reaction I was aware of is that there must be something wrong with my foot. Rather than continue on my walk and tolerate the increasing pain, I stopped and removed my left shoe to inspect it. I found that the left shoe had a defect that was rubbing against my heel and causing the pain. This led me to draw the conclusion that there was nothing wrong with my foot: It was the worn out shoes that I have been hanging onto for some time.

Dead Ends

by Rev. Krista Kemp, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Although this title may not evoke inspiration and comfort, bear with me as I travel my latest journey of melding the teaching of the Course with the “realness” of death. Recently, I’ve been faced with the death of close family members while simultaneously involved in the course 909: Wellness Through Mind Healing.

Although it is not after having experienced both that I have uncovered that there is no coincidence that this has been presented to me in this way.

Death was not something I gave much thought to. It was only when I was faced with the death of my father in 2001 that I even allowed in the thoughts of death and dying and what this means. As with any journey, it begins with a question… mine stemming from a great feeling of loss and pain.

The Illusion of Separation: Finding Unity in a Divided World

by Rev. Maureen L. Yarbrough, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

“Let the Holy Spirit show him to you, and teach you both his love and his call for love. Neither his mind nor yours holds more than these two orders of thought.” (T-14.X.11:5-6)

I typically try to avoid negativity, including all news channels. However, while visiting a sick friend, I was exposed to a strong, contrasting viewpoint which I judged as hostile. This experience sparked a profound question: How can we learn to think differently if we only see one perspective? And how can we condemn others for their belief system, understanding that this is true?

Created to Create

by Rev. Ashley Rose Legrand, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

The Course tells us, we were literally created TO create. To extend love. “Unless you create you are unfulfilled, but God does not know unfulfillment and therefore you must create.” (T-7.IX.3:6) Because we are one with God, our souls will long to seek fulfillment. When we don’t pursue our ministry, in whatever form that might be, we feel unfulfilled. Something is missing and not quite right. We can sense that something is just a little off. Our capabilities are lying dormant and our capacity for extension is not being fully utilized.

When we lean into spirit, get still and listen to the voice for God and what He is asking us to do and put out into the world, we feel a sense of restoration. Satisfied in a way beyond what the temporary pleasures of the world can provide. God is asking us to be His eyes, His ears, His hands, His feet and tongue. To bring into creation and into the world of form the unseen promises of His word. To make what seems to be hidden known and to help others see it too. He’s asking us to help our companions believe. To encourage them to feel and to know. Simply by our example. To remember His grace and to follow Him in confidence and in certainty.

God’s Peace and Joy Really Are Mine!

by Shelly Woods, ACIM Practitioner Student

I have been an ACIM student for 6 years and have been a member of a 12- step Recovery program for almost 24 years. In my first few years in recovery, one of my counselors was a student of the Course. I really liked her calming presence and her patient attitude.

One day, while sitting in her waiting room, I noticed a thick blue book on the shelf. I picked it up, and within five minutes, I put it back. I was not ready. I remember saying to myself, huh? As I read the first Lesson: “Nothing I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] means anything.” (W-1)

So Many Opportunities!

by Rev. Barbara Adams, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

While I was studying my Pathways of Light lessons with my mentor, Rev. Maria Felipe,  I expressed my concern about how I could best serve. “What would I do after I was ordained?” 

Rev. Maria kept assuring me that the right opportunity would show up at the right time. Once again, my mentor was right!

Initially, I started my own brand, which I called Peace and Harmony Ministry. With the help of my talented son-in-law, we created a logo; next a website, https://peaceandharmonyministry.org.

A First Step in Undoing

by Rev. Joanne Schneider, PhD, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

The Course reminds us more than once that “…the sole responsibility of the miracle worker is to accept the Atonement for himself….” (T-5.V.7:8)

It lays the responsibility right back on ourselves. It is our responsibility to accept Atonement. The Course defines atoning as undoing, in particular the undoing of fear. (T-1.I.26.2-3) and that the “first corrective step” toward atonement is undoing fear. (T-2.VI.7.1) The Course “…repeatedly emphasized the need to recognize fear and face it without disguise as a crucial step in the undoing of the ego.” (T-12.I.8:5)
