Entertaining a Miracles Mindset

by Rev. Jennifer McSween, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Around 6:30 p.m. on the evening of April 13th as I was in the kitchen preparing dinner I began having some very intense pains in the middle of my chest. It was a tightening sensation in the middle section of my chest radiating towards the right side and under my right breast. The pain then traveled upwards along my right clavicle, then up into my neck.

The intense pain lasted for no more than 10 minutes, however it felt like it was there for much longer. I remember walking slowly into the living room where my husband was sitting… sat on the sofa across from him and said:

“I’m having some very intense pains in my chest… It may be nothing but I feel I should go have it checked out.”

Wake Up Little Child

by Michelle Rado, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Often, I turn within and ask for guidance regarding what I need to understand and focus on in my awakening journey.  I would like to share with you the following poem that I received a couple of weeks back…

Wake up little child,
the Lord whispers in my ear.
So Soft I can barely hear it.

Turn away from the
world’s sorrows, Look within
for all that is needed.

Be still and thoughtful as
you move through each day,
looking past the many
appearances of human discord
and into the truth of all Creation.

Liar, Liar

by Rev. Paula Richards, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

“Massachusetts.” Usually, I wouldn’t pick up, but I noticed the same number calling for the third time and intuition told me it was important.

The caller turned out to be someone inquiring about my ministerial counseling, so I was relieved that I had answered. I apologized for not having picked up before, saying that the ID only said Massachusetts and I thought it might be a scam.

To my surprise, the woman tersely said, “That’s not possible. My name and number always show up.”

“I’m just telling you what a saw.” I replied.
“You are a liar,” she snapped. “How dare you call yourself a minister and then lie like that?!”

Accepting Gratitude

by Rev. Mary Manke, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Are you one of those who has difficultly receiving thanks when it is given to you? 

I am in error of this egoic idea.

The ego wants to keep me in littleness or smallness. It would like to keep me in shame, regret and guilt. It never wants me to know my wholeness (holiness). That is why it reacts to gratitude with defense or denial, to deny the truth of Love’s Oneness.

My Beingness is part of God’s. God knows not of separation or in-completeness. Holy Spirit knows the “separation” never happened. My innocence is guaranteed.

You’re My Tecket Home

by Rev. Barbara Adams, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

He: “You’re my ticket Home.”

His friend: “What are you talking about?”

He: “I’m saying that you’re the one who’s gonna help me get Home.”

Friend: “I know what you said. What the heck do you mean?”

He: “OK, look, I’ve been trying to get Home for a while. Every time I think I’m on the right path, I hit a brick wall. Then, BAM! I feel like I lose my way again.”

Friend: “I go home ‘every day. Don’t you?”

He: “No. I’ve seen glimpses of Home, but I’m having trouble staying put, you know, living at Home.”

Friend: “You’re scaring me, Dude.”

He: “Oh no! Don’t get scared. Fear is the exact opposite of Home.”

A Journey of Awakening

by Dani Novak, Pathways of Light Ministerial Student

I, this mythical me, was born in Israel as an only child in 1949 to a couple, Zdenka and Zvonko Novak, who lost most of their family in the Holocaust (in the Balkans, former Yugoslavia, 1941). Until age 14 I seemed to experience a happy childhood. The black bird appeared in my life in the form of a high school mate who told me that I was gay. This memorable moment caused me to spiral down quickly into insanity. I will not bother you with the details except to mention that death would have been the sweetest solution, yet I knew that it was not an option and decided to continue living.

Around age 17 I was introduced to Yoga and later to Zen buddhism. I started studying pure Mathematics and in 1976 moved with my wife Haya and our three year old daughter to the USA to complete my PhD at the University of Connecticut in Storrs. After completing my studies our second daughter was born and the four of us moved to Ithaca NY for my first and only job as a college mathematics teacher at Ithaca College (https://www.ithaca.edu/faculty/novak).

Most of my life from age 14 until about 2020 I suffered from deep depressions and at the same time continued to explore spirituality in various forms. The first of the two most significant forms was ACIM. I heard Jerald Jampolsky talk on NPR about the book he wrote: “Love is Letting Go of Fear.” I bought the ACIM book but could not read it for two years because of the Christian style that collided with my Jewish background. But when I entered into a most severe depression the book became an infinite poem and I was singing it in my attic. I also started going to a local ACIM group.

The Best Job Ever

by Rev. Larry Glenz, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

“I will accept my part in God’s plan for salvation.”  (W-pI.98)

I have had the honor of coaching boys’ lacrosse at Lynbrook High School for a very long time. I started in 1972 and have coached in the program now for 50 consecutive seasons. Not many coaches get that opportunity and it has certainly shaped the path of my adult life.

Last month I was honored by the National Interscholastic Lacrosse Coaches Association (NILCA) with an induction into their Hall of Fame. Ten coaches from across the country get honored each year as the game of lacrosse continues to spread like wildfire in all parts of the U.S. The induction alone was humbling, no doubt. But there was something else going on that made my heart soar.
