They Are My Classroom, Not My Problem

by Rev. Myron Jones, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

“Who is there but wishes to be free of pain? He may not yet have learned how to exchange guilt for innocence, nor realize that only in this exchange can freedom from pain be his. Yet those who have failed to learn need teaching, not attack. To attack those who have need of teaching is to fail to learn from them.” (T-14.V.5:5-8)

As I sit with this passage, I see that the Atonement is really about our shared innocence, and that the miracle is simply the recognition of guiltlessness. When I attack, I am not correcting anything; I am failing to learn. And those I am tempted to see as needing correction are actually offering me an opportunity to remember the truth.

The Peace of Not Knowing

by Rev. Stella Berthelette, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Sometimes peace returns in the most unexpected way — through a single sentence remembered at exactly the right moment.

This past year asked a great deal of me. My life seemed to rearrange itself all at once — moving, renovations, changes in my partnership, and a professional workload that brought an enormous amount of trauma into my office each day. It felt as though everything accelerated simultaneously, like standing where several currents meet. Somewhere in the midst of it all, anxiety quietly returned.

When the mind feels overwhelmed it tries to take control, and mine was no different. It began organizing the future, evaluating my path, and trying to determine what should happen next. I found myself thinking more and more about the direction of my work and the gifts people often see in me. For more than twenty-five years I have shown up for others, holding space for their healing and their stories, yet another thought had begun to surface quietly beneath the surface of that work.

The Desire for Lucid Living

by Rev. Larry Glenz, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

I read one of Jon Mundy’s Sunday articles recently. Jon has been one of my favorite Course teachers for decades. He spoke of a way of navigating this apparent world and called it lucid living. 

“Lucid living: i.e. The alive, attentive, self-aware self, conscious of the dreamlike quality of our world without being caught in the dream, the game, the play, the news, and the soap-opera of our politics and our everyday world.” 

What a great way to live!

The Control Issue

by Rev. Joyce Peebles, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

The Holy Spirit has shown me some aspects of my ego personality that have not served me well. My ego wants to be in control. This comes from fear and anxiety, which are hallmarks of the separation experience.

I not only want to control my world, but I have been arrogant enough to think I could control someone else’s. For example, under the guise of helping my 94-year-old mother, I tried to help or fix her. This gratifies my ego because I tell myself I am a good daughter, helping her mother. The fact is she does not want my help most of the time. And I don’t know what is in her best interest. It’s not my job to fix her or help her when she doesn’t want help.

From the Garbage Heap to Awakening

by Rev. Sabrina Rollins, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Once upon a time, in a faraway place, there was a vast pit in the center of a village. The pit was so deep its bottom could scarcely be seen from above. The villagers tossed all their trash into it, and because the pit was so enormous, they never feared it would overfill. The mayor appointed a caretaker, and each day the old, haggard woman tamped down the garbage and covered it with dirt so the foul odors would not rise and trouble the villagers.

As the years passed, the villagers discovered that the pit was also a convenient place to hide their misdeeds and unkind thoughts. Once thrown into the darkness, they no longer had to face their behavior or their loveless impulses. The poor caretaker worked tirelessly, day and night, to contain the stench of the ever-growing heap. But because she never complained, the villagers failed to notice that the pit was swelling — growing higher and wider with every passing day. They simply walked around it without a second glance. The mountain of garbage became part of the scenery, accepted as normal.

Until one day, something happened that had never happened before. A roaring sound erupted from the center of the pit — an ominous rumbling that shook the ground beneath the village. The earth quivered and cracked. A groaning, thunderous bellow echoed across the land. Flames burst forth, sending ash into the sky, darkening the villagers’ homes and leaving a bitter taste in their mouths.

Silent Miracles

by Dimitri Saliuk, Student of A Course in Miracles

This October, my family and I visited California for a vacation that also included some work commitments. We enjoyed the wonderful weather in a seaside town. I was fortunate to find an in-person group for A Course in Miracles just a five-minute walk from our accommodation. Although it doesn’t rain often, one evening we experienced a downpour, and the temperature dropped significantly. While my children and I were getting ready to drive to my wife’s workplace, she was finishing up her shift.

We put on our jackets and got into our SUV. After about five minutes, just before an intersection, I heard a bump and a screeching sound to my left. A convertible compact car zoomed past me, cut me off, and honked. At that moment, I realized we had just been in a fender bender, and the situation was clear.

Choosing Love Not Fear

by Rev. Joanne Goodrich, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Three years ago, my first grandson was born. His arrival brought profound joy and hastened my decision to retire. When I retired, my primary goal was to devote myself to studying A Course In Miracles, believing that the right next steps would follow, including spending time with my family.

When my own children were born, I was, at first, still working in the financial world. It was very hectic and intense. By the time my second child was born, my husband and I had decided that I would stay home with the children. I did stay home; then, my husband and I split up. Suddenly, I was a single mother entrusted with the sole custody of my small children.
