Cause or Effect

by Rev. Paula Richards, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

.Years ago, someone told me that I wouldn’t be truly happy until I moved to Arizona. A more correct statement would have been that I wouldn’t get to Arizona until I allowed myself to be truly happy.

After five years living with my elderly mom in Massachusetts, I felt really stuck in the caregiver role. I had gladly chosen to live with mom and help her out, and the first four years, although challenging, were rewarding for both of us. But, now, I was angry — a lot. After having yet another full-blown temper tantrum, through my tears, I begged Holy Spirit for help. I was guided that, instead of trying to get rid of my anger, I might ask it what it was trying to tell me. Journaling revealed I was clinging to this caregiving role out of fear of moving forward with my life, of stepping into the unknown. Staying stuck wasn’t showing love for myself or my mom. I already knew what my heart wanted. Fear was the only thing holding me back.

When I asked for help letting go of my fear, I was guided to sit quietly, put my hand on my heart, and focus on something or someone I love. I was told to stop thinking and just feel the love flowing out from my heart. Once I connected with the loving part (the only REAL part) of me, Holy Spirit prompted me to ask the love what it wanted to do — not what I thought I needed to do to become happy, but what I wanted to do because I already was happy.

Homecoming

Rev. Maureen Yarbrough, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

“A major contribution of miracles is their strength in releasing you from your false sense of isolation, deprivation and lack.” (T-1.I.42)

A life perceived full of abandonment with feelings of unworthiness and being unlovable corroding my mind… well, I was always on a search to fill this hole in my soul. Alcohol, drugs, sex, relationships… moving on to the next demon when one did not work, as of course, none of them would work. Setting myself up for failure in almost every area of my life, my ego clung to my professional life. It was there I wore a mask of confidence and surety, but I almost sunk that ship, too, on my long and arduous journey of self-destruction.

Darkness, demons, hopelessness… I was so blinded in a fear-taught thought system which I clung to because I trusted and believed in all of those that told me it was true. There is no blame, they all had faith in it, too. It took me to the floor — brought me to my knees and then I found myself in the fetal position, pathways of tears streaming down my face. Oh, the pain and the quiet and messy hope of desperation.

Forgiveness *Does* Offer You Everything You Want

by Rev. Jennifer McSween, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

I’m writing this article at the end of November. Soon the Christmas season will be in full swing, and we’ll be hearing Christmas Carols and other seasonal songs repeatedly, on every radio station and television channel.

I already find myself humming what has become one of my favourite Christmas songs. It’s the “Xmas Song” — written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The opening lines are: “So, this is Christmas and what have you done — Another year over a new one just begun.”

I’m sure you’ve heard it yourself. Hearing these lines bring me a deep feeling of peace, joy, fulfillment, and happiness. But it wasn’t always this way. It only became this way from 2017 — the year I wrote and published my book — TRUE FORGIVENESS: The Proven Path From Pain to Power In Five Simple Steps.

Yielding to the Word of God

by Rev. Robert Thompson, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Once upon a time, an elderly man, (78 years old at the time, to be exact), met a living angel that was walking the face of this earth. Because he was continuously gifted with glimpses of Heaven, there was a tendency for this old guy to prolong that experience. Needless to say, when one’s soul is merged with Such A One, each word, each touch, is a serene embrace with Eternity.

Overwhelmed with awe and gratitude, the man offered to spend the rest of his life with the angel. The angel responded that she had already, for years, made specific commitments to an organization, which she wished to continue. The man agreed that, when they were eventually together, the angel could continue her long term commitments.

A Practical Practice That Is Practical

by Rev. Mary Lenihan, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

The more I Pause for Inspiration — that quiet, truly inspired Voice — the more I realize that this Wisdom cares about everything, not distinguishing between “spiritual” and “practical.” Everything is spiritual, everything is practical. Universal Inspiration cares about it all and guides us through the Mind with the Light ON, one’s True Self.

How to spend my time, how to respond in a situation, is as much concern to my True Self as is who to console, what work tasks to do in what order, how to go about an email, text, or in person communication, being with uncomfortable feelings in the midst of an unexpected conversation, and what is my part to play in the current challenges the world is facing. My True Self excludes nothing or no one from reaping blessings from the truly helpful Wisdom being poured forth.

My Role as a Teacher of God

by Rev. Myron, Jones, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

I have been sharing a Pathways of Light course with a friend, 916 Teacher of God. In this course there is a list of twelve points that describe clearly our role in serving the Holy Spirit as a teacher of God. I find this list to be very helpful in becoming an effective teacher for Him. I asked the Holy Spirit to clarify and expand on these while I was in contemplation and this is what I received.

I love all the Holy Spirit Loves.

I saw someone selling something and they were at the same time pushing their political agenda which is not mine. I felt myself moving away from them. I ask to see as Holy Spirit see and to love as He Loves. My ex-husband told me he stopped watching football in protest of the men taking a knee. My first thought was all about my opinion as opposed to his. Then the Holy Spirit showed me another way to see this. He loves football and looks forward to it every year. And yet, he gave it up to be true to his beliefs. It is so helpful to step out of our stories and see the lesson it holds for us. It is always going to be some form of love as opposed to judgment. I choose to love all the Holy Spirit Loves without regard to anything in their story.

I remember that only what is eternal is real.

I remind myself of this all the time. I remind myself that I am not living the life of Myron. I am watching the story of Myron that occurred billions of years ago in the moment we had the thought that separation might be a good idea. I remind myself that nothing that ends is real. It is just imagination projected as if it is something real, seen and felt as if it is real. Nothing physical is real. Nothing felt that is not Love is real. This is so helpful to remember. It allows me to detach from the story and all its emotional impact so that I can use it to awaken.
