Giving and Receiving Are One in Truth

by Rev. Jennifer McSween, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

On April 12th, 2017, I announced to the world via Facebook, that I was in the process of writing a book. Until then, the only people who knew that I was doing so were my husband and daughter, and the members of the Authors group coaching program I had joined a couple of months earlier.

To this day, I cannot recall who sent me the email in February of 2017, promoting a webinar for going “From Blank Page To Published Author In 90 Days.” Though when I first read this, I didn’t think it was possible for me, because I had been trying to write and publish a book for the past four years, but found myself struggling to get the ideas out of my head and onto the paper.

For some reason I felt led to attend. So I signed up. I took the Action Step that was given at the end of the webinar. That first step did help me to get the ideas out of my head and onto paper, and I started writing on March 10th, 2017. On April 7th, 27 days later, I had completed writing my entire first draft and made the announcement on a Facebook post. A little less than 7 months later, with the help of Revs Robert and Mary Stoelting’s professional editing, I became a published author.

On a Mission for God

by Rev. Myron, Jones, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

One time I was talking to Jesus as I do throughout the day. I said that sometimes things seem to happen in such a random way. It looks like there is no rhyme or reason for the occurrences.

Then I felt a surge of fear at the thought. It seems terrifying to believe that everything is meaningless, that there is no purpose to anything.

Then I was given an idea that grew into the following story. It is, like most things we know about reality, a metaphor, but it is a helpful metaphor, in my opinion.  

I was explaining to someone that it is safe to look at our thoughts with the Holy Spirit. This is a necessary step in forgiveness, and forgiveness is what we came to do. I assured her that, of course, we are not guilty for our thoughts. They serve a purpose. These untrue thoughts are the reason we are here. You see, we are on a mission, a mission for God.

Goals

by Rev. Joyce Peebles, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

I recently read a lesson and reread the comments I had made the year before. I concluded I had not made much progress on how I was perceiving my projections. I am still projecting guilt on someone outside of my mind. Therefore, I am still finding value in judgment. I still think anger is justified at times. I am still entertaining the idea that I am a victim, in short, this ego/ body self I see as Me.

My only function is to recognize this is a lie. That’s it. To accept the atonement for myself. This is done by knowing I am not this ego-body character, neither is anyone in my projections. Reality is I have no difficulties, anger is never justified, and peace can be recognized if I want to enough. I alone have caused my misery. Nobody needs to change because there is no world “out there.” Jesus tells me when I decided to reject love and wanted to be a separated individual, I also decided to invent goals I think I now need.

Freedom or Bondage

by Rev. Joyce Peebles, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

“You must choose between total freedom and total bondage…” (T-15.X.9:3)

Jesus says the truth shall make you free. What is this truth? It is simple and almost nobody wants to believe it. It is this:  You are innocent, totally without guilt, and so is everybody else. The reason you don’t want to believe this is because you are unaware you harbor this idea of sin and guilt.

Jesus says it is unconscious until the Holy Spirit reveals it. You may not believe that you are guilty, or maybe you do, but you believe that someone else is guilty.

The world you see was made by you on purpose as a place to prove that what God says is wrong. He says guilt does not exist and all are innocent. You are imagining a world you want to be real. If you do not think you feel this way, it is because you are unable currently to see beyond the devices of the ego.

I Am Grateful for All Things

by Rev. Myron, Jones, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

I am very grateful for my Guide. I get lots of help on this path, suggestions, teachings, and more, but everything passes through the Holy Spirit. It is in and part of me and the Truth and the Light that keeps me on the path to my Self. How could I not be grateful? 

I have shared with others a Pathways of Light course on gratitude several times. It is really good for me to do these courses with other people. We join in teaching and learning with each other. And gratitude is more meaningful to me now than it has ever been. I am now grateful for all things, even the problems. After all, they bring me the opportunity to heal the false thoughts in my mind.

I Didn’t Always Appreciate the Power of Gratitude

Before I began studying Pathways of Light’s Miracles Practitioner course 903: Gratitude for God’s Gifts, I didn’t really understand why gratitude was important. Now I marvel that there was ever a time I didn’t understand the power of gratitude. When I am grateful, I am peaceful and happy. My goodness, what else could I ask for?

A Mind-Healing Partner

by Rev. Larry Glenz, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

I have a friend, Wynne Black, who is also a Pathways minister. A few days ago we were studying from the Text the section called The Correction of Error. It began with this sentence:

“The alertness of the ego to the errors of other egos is not the kind of vigilance the Holy Spirit would have you maintain.” (T-9.III.1:1)

I have some strong opinions about the actions of certain family members. I would like him/her/them to behave differently. And I have an important position in the family (father, father-in-law, husband, ex-husband, grandfather). For some reason, it seems I cannot always be perfectly happy with their situation or behavior as I see it.
