The ego thought system is geared to present us with a billion choices throughout our lives. Everyday it dishes out problems that appear to require solving or avoiding. A billion complex decisions all with one intent — to avert our awareness from the fact that at any ‘now’ moment there is always just a single choice calling to us, regardless of perceived complexity. That choice is Spirit… the choice to love and trust. Choosing Spirit first and foremost is the choice that excludes all fear-mongering by the ego.

This morning I woke to find another symptom in the body. The left knee would not straighten. In this dream circumstance, it means that the nerve impulses are not getting through to the muscles in that area. I shared with Holy Spirit that I was feeling frightened, confused, disappointed and guilty for choosing this.

In the Introduction to The Song of Prayer, Jesus describes true prayer as “The single voice Creator and creation share; the song the Son sings to the Father, Who returns the thanks it offers Him unto the Son.” (1:2) Here we are learning that all true prayer is sharing one voice with our Creator. True prayer is the Love the Father and Son share and extend as they recognize their oneness. True prayer is accepting our Father’s Love and extending that universal Love in one grateful, joyous voice. It is joining in one unified song of gratitude, appreciation and Love. It is sharing our Creator’s Love with the whole Sonship equally.

As I was journaling with the Holy Spirit I asked Him about goals. He suggested I write down my goals for today and then we would look together. I wrote that I needed to finish this project. Then I had a list of things that had to be done before my friends arrived. This list included things like getting dressed and cooking lunch. The longer my list became, the more stress I felt. This reminded me that my list was not complete. I added to it. “I want to step back and allow the Holy Spirit to guide the way. I want to remember my purpose.”

Concepts are formed of beliefs
and help the ego avoid reality.
Concepts of eternal, concepts of dead.
Concepts of mind and what’s in my head.

After attending the Sunday teleconference service with Robert, Mary and some of my Pathways brothers and sisters, I find myself motivated to write on the topic that we shared today. Our session this morning was focused around Lesson 100 from the ACIM Workbook, “My part is essential to God’s plan for salvation.” By reading and meditating together for an hour on Sunday, I seem to have my most inspiring messages coming from Holy Spirit. It seems appropriate that time zones and great distances are no obstacle to our Sunday services; especially considering that we have been taught that time and space are illusions anyway.

In my 40s, basketball became my passion. I had competed a little in high school, just missing making varsity in my senior year (being beaten out, I am exceedingly proud to say, by a future successful NFL running back). While I still played better than the average bear, my middle-aged “game” (in quotes, to emphasize the objectively minimalist content of my skill level) left a lot to be desired.

Your point of greatest power is not when you are at peace, but when you are in the grips of temptation — the temptation to hatred, viciousness and anger. You are not guilty for these temptations, but you are empowered as you learn to no longer be deceived. “Anger is never justified.” ACIM22

Lately I have caught myself in the act of joining in long, self-indulgent, highly enjoyable conversations with other mothers on my daughter’s soccer team equally miffed about the antics of their likewise unappreciative, insensitive spawn. I have caught myself blaming associates for failing to recognize my talents and contributions, blaming those I live with for failing to thank me for the meals, the laundry, the rides, and the sympathy I so regularly and conditionally proffer.

“Dad, I’m not going to be in town for Fathers’ Day” my son informed me. It was a couple of days before June 19th.
I am part of a large family (3rd out of 9 children) and both my mom and dad passed away during the last 18 months. Father’s Day was always celebrated as an extended family affair. My brothers and sisters, spouses, our children, our children’s children, etc., would gather together for fun, fellowship, gratitude and feasting. Truly, the Walton family had nothing on us, except our jokes with each other would have never passed the TV censors.

It happened that for about three months I had noticed that my bowel evacuation was gradually getting smaller and smaller, along with lots of gurgling in my belly. So off I went to the doctors to have my first colonoscopy. After the procedure the doctor met with me and my two daughters and explained that there was a tumor blocking the colon and it would have to be surgically removed and the colon re-sectioned and possibly a temporary colostomy while the re-sectioning healed.

My husband and I have had a couple we went out with regularly for several years. We considered them our best friends. We had lots of commonalities including working out regularly and competing in athletic events, kids hitting college, mutual friends, and our spirituality. Over the years we had several discussions about our spirituality. I enjoyed these conversations.

I love nature. I’ll tell anyone who listens. That’s part of why I moved here: the beauty, the lushness, the stillness, the filtered light through the trees, the eagles’ grace and power, the blue heron’s prehistoric flight, the rich fragrance, the creek’s seasonal faces. I’ll tell you Heaven’s lawn is beautifully wooded and alive, peaceful.

Peace is my heart’s desire, And so…
I’ll ask.
When little things get me down,
and frustration comes around,
I’ll ask for peace.

For the past few months we have been spending much of our time doing the post-production audio and video work for two remarkably healing three and four day workshops given last summer at Pathways of Light, plus a very helpful audio book on healing family relationships written and narrated by Rev. Myron Jones.
The sale of the property in Kiel, Wisconsin, has not yet occurred, so we are receiving the opportunity to strengthen our trust muscles. It was not a coincidence that the four day workshop by Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Vieira was all about the six stages in the development of trust discussed in the Manual for Teachers.
