Living in the Ocean of Love

by Rev. Andrea Sassa Archuleta, O.M.C.

When I am in nature, especially trail-running with my dog Bella, I often reflectively commune with Inner Wisdom — my God-Source within. During a recent trail-run, I invited Inner Wisdom to help me understand a pattern I was noticing in my mind. A pattern of evaluating and assigning judgments to everything — assessing whether something was a good thing or a bad thing or whether I was making a right decision or a wrong decision. I noticed the energy drain I felt from this and how it kept me from the present moment.

I said to Inner Wisdom, somewhat exasperated, “Here, really, just take this. I am giving this to you.” And then I let go. I didn’t try to figure out what to replace evaluating and judging with, or when to replace it, or any of that. I have learned to simply hand anything over that is not supporting me being at peace. Handing over is the beginning of the miracle for me, A Course in Miracles type miracle.

Sometimes the Miracle Is “Who Cares?”

by Rev. Carly D. Glasmyre, O.M.C.

Sometimes I think the miracle has to be a big, momentous thing. But sometimes it’s as simple as Holy Spirit saying, “Who cares?”

Recently in the weekly study group call I run, I was sharing about some struggles I’ve been having with my job. One of the participants began to coach me around my job and ask questions to help me take action. She did this out of love and out of the desire to support me, but all I felt was embarrassed.

The Prince of Love

by Cindy Lyn Bartholome

I was experiencing the Pathways of Light meditation titled, “Letting Love Return You to Peace.” I was deep into the meditation, not even hearing the guiding words, when half way through the meditation my cat, Prince, jumped on the chair and laid his body right next to my leg. He was there the rest of the meditation. I knew Spirit was telling me something by having Prince lay next to me during this specific meditation. What was the message? By exploring who Prince is I’d have an answer to this question.

Valuing Content Over Form

by Rev. Michael Graves, O.M.C.

When I became a Pathways of Light Ordained Ministerial Counselor a few years ago, I dedicated my life and ministry to doing what Holy Spirit wanted me to do. Actually, I think that most people who study ACIM eventually do the same thing as they grow in their understanding of what the Course teaches.

The problem with this approach for me, has been to avoid looking at what I am doing and making judgments about it.

As POL ministerial students we were counseled to avoid the temptation to create our own (ego) vision of what our ministries would look like and let the Holy Spirit guide us. And, to the best of my ability, I think I did that. We were further counseled that what actually comes to pass will most likely be quite different from we had envisioned.

Learning to Forgive Promotes Healing for Us All

by Rev. Peggy Rivera, O.M.C.

Relationships are a very good place for opportunities for us to see where we need to heal our minds.

How often do we hear ourselves or our brothers complain about something someone else said or did to make us unhappy? It is our thoughts that get out of control and when we believe our unhappiness is caused by some outside force, we fall deeper and deeper into the perception we are alone and afraid and separate from our Source.

New Book — The Adventures of the Course Kids: Through Faith and Grace

by Rev. Barbara Adams, O.M.C.

Sharing the Teachings of the Course with Children at an Age-Appropriate Level

Sharing and modeling the teachings of A Course in Miracles with children is no different than any other life-lessons we wish to impart to our impressionable youngsters. As a retired educator, I accrued over 32 years of experience in both the classroom and as an administrator. Now as an Ordained Ministerial Counselor through Pathways of Light Spiritual College, my goal in this article is to compare teaching age-appropriate lessons at school with teaching age-appropriate lessons to our children from the Course.

The Toilet Paper Transgression

by Rev. Robin Singler, O.M.C.

At the beginning of this year, I re-affirmed my commitment to healing my mind through the teachings of the Course, and the journey has been a continual, if not painstaking, process of digging deeper into ego beliefs and releasing them. Redoubling my efforts to heal my mind with the Holy Spirit has been a wonderful blessing filled with ups, downs, revelations and setbacks, similar, I am sure, to what others experience as awareness of the ego thought system increases in our minds.

The Greatest Gift

by Rev. Robert Joseph Thompson, O.M.C.

The greatest gift… that I give to me,
is listening to Guidance, from Eternity.

To be quietly still… is my sacred choice,
while awaiting Eternity’s “Still Small Voice.”

This is also The Gift… you may give to yourself,
no matter the matter… Heaven will help.

What Does Being a Teacher of God Mean?

by Rev. Linda Wisniewski, O.M.C.

Ever since I got ordained as a Pathways of Light minister in 2005, I thought of myself as a teacher of God. But I was focusing on the form and not on the true content.

I thought being a teacher of God meant having students and teaching them about the Course or ACIM Practitioner courses. I thought it meant preparing others to become ministers.

I thought being a teacher of God meant having my own ministry or giving workshops about Course related topics. I love facilitating these programs but does this give me the title teacher of God?

Shifting My Vigilance

by Rev. Myron Jones, O.M.C.

I have been using the idea of being vigilant for my thoughts and giving them to the Holy Spirit for healing. I have been doing this for a long time now and it is a good practice. I notice my thoughts, give them to the Holy Spirit, and accept His correction. Simple and effective. Something I have been guided to add to my practice is to pay more attention to my tendency to try to heal myself.

We Are All Perfect Love

by Rev. Linda Wisniewski, O.M.C.

For the past year, it seems like I have been experiencing one illness after another. I have also been in deep communion with Holy Spirit and asking for healing? What is going on?

Workbook Lesson 76 in ACIM says, “I Am Under No Laws but God’s.” From my understanding, the Law of God is the Law of Perfect Love. If I am not experiencing Perfect Love, then I am believing in the ego law of fear and guilt. The belief in fear and guilt are the obstacles that are blocking my awareness of seeing my brothers and myself as God’s Perfect Love. The belief in fear and guilt are the beliefs that are calling to be healed if I am to experience God’s Perfect Love.

Trust

by Rev. Maura Williams, O.M.C.

Sometimes I doubt myself. I can think of a million and one reasons not to trust myself, but I’m beginning to see this is a very destructive habit. I’m working, once again, on trust and trust always boils down to trusting myself.

I tell myself, “I don’t trust you.” I tell myself, “People cannot be trusted,” and world affairs would prove this to me. But what is trust? If I already know I can’t trust anything outside myself, then what is trust? If I’m constantly trying to control or influence situations outside of myself, am I trusting?

On High

by Rev. Michael Graves, O.M.C.

I freed myself
and learned to fly,

My outstretched wings
against the sky.

“I’m free” I shout
as I sail and soar,
bound by the chains
of fear no more.

Sick Leave from God

by Rev. Barbara Goodman Siegel, O.M.C.

I am involved with a group in St. Louis, Missouri that is practicing the “Choose Again” method developed by Diederik Wolsak. This is a process for looking at one’s upsets and core beliefs. It is based on the principles of Attitudinal Healing and A Course in Miracles.

There are six steps involved in this process that is to be used whenever one is upset. The purpose of this article is not to explain how the steps work, but to share one of the processes I did over an upset in the hope that it might help someone else see what is truly going on when anger and attack are allowed to have their way with our minds.
