Applying True Forgiveness

by Revs. Robert & Mary Stoelting

We would like to start by defining what we mean by the term true forgiveness. We define true forgiveness as letting the light of truth shine through into our awareness. This light of truth comes from the Holy Spirit, Who returns our mind to the sanity of Love’s oneness.

As students of the Course, we are learning that true forgiveness means letting go of the dream of separate bodies and letting it be replaced by the truth of oneness. “A world forgiven cannot last. It was the home of bodies. But forgiveness looks past bodies. This is its holiness; this is how it heals.” (ACIM, C-4.5:1-4)

Being of Service

by Rev. Myron Jones

  Sometimes it seems hard to know how best to be of service. Someone is in crisis, or simply processing and I wonder, “How can I really help? At what point will my helpfulness become intrusive?” What about other times when the need is not so obvious? I started thinking about this because of something that happened while I was working.

I was helping a customer with some paper work he had to submit to a governmental agency. I was so intent on what we were doing and with getting through it so I could make my next appointment that it wasn’t until I was leaving that I picked up on his discomfort.

I Am In Need of Nothing but the Truth

by Revs. Paul and Deborah Phelps

  During our morning meditation walk, Holy Spirit made us aware of the fact that it was garbage collection day here in Madison. Everything that is not needed is cast aside. The clippings, the leftovers, the dirty diapers, the broken toys and furniture, all that once served a purpose are now gladly released without another moment’s thought.

Perception of Order of Difficulties

by Rev. Lee Catalano

Wow wee. The belief in order of difficulties is the problem. Jesus states in A Course in Miracles that any perception of comparisons is not so. So how can there possibly be an order of difficulty?

“A larger object overshadows a smaller one. A brighter thing draws the attention from another with less intensity of appeal. And a more threatening idea, or one conceived as more desirable by the world’s standards, completely upsets the mental balance.” (M.8.1:3)

This is about jealousy and the special relationship. This reminds me of observing my daughter’s experience of high school. The threats and cruelty in this section are played out in high school cafeteria’s (and the entire world) daily.

I Can Hardly Wait to See the Good That Comes from This

by Jo Blahnik

My father and I had always had intense reaction to the world and to each other. Several years into my study of A Course in Miracles I realized that I continually remembered my past with him with agitation. Then in Workbook Lesson 21, I became determined to see things differently when I heard “a slight tinge of annoyance is nothing but a veil drawn over intense fury.”

Finally recognizing my anger, I wanted to be rid of it. Surprisingly, when studying Workbook Lesson 192 (I have a function God would have me fill) I completely missed its message of forgiveness. But when I heard, “A jailer is not free, for he is bound together with his prisoner,” I realized that by reliving memories of our past together I was choosing to hold us both in that position.

Awakening to the Happy Dream!

by Rev. Cheryl Ford

Once it’s decided to hand things over to Holy Spirit, the loving, healing experiences just don’t stop… If we can learn to understand and accept that all things happen for our good and stop attempting to attach our requirements onto how things should look and how they should be reflected externally, life really does become a happy dream!

Be Still. You Are Only Dreaming

by Rev. Michael L. Ciavarella

  This past week, Walter Ego took a stand. It was a stand against all that I have been reaching for in the past year. Walter must feel threatened. He must feel attacked. He must feel afraid. He must feel as if he is losing control.

That would be okay, assuming that I understand this during the time that Walter decides to stand up for himself. What is it that causes me to forget that he is only as strong as I allow him to be? Why, in moments of combustion, do I forget the words of Glinda, the Good Witch of the North: “You have no power here. Begone! Before someone drops a house on you, too!”?
