Do I Have an Ego — Am I MY Ego?

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

On one of the Sunday Pathways of Light ACIM teleconference calls, we were working on Text, Chapter 8, “The Journey Back” and we were focused on Section 1 and 2: The Direction of the Curriculum and the difference between Imprisonment and Freedom. We especially focused on paragraph 2 on p. 138, which I think is very important because I find myself and others talking about their ego or my ego as if it is who we are. I even at one time thought of it as a person sitting on my shoulder telling me how to think.

Holy Spirit gave me an image of the ego thought system based on some of the main points in this second paragraph. The following are some of the points that stood out to me and then I will follow it with the imagery Holy Spirit gave me.

Simply Do This

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

At a recent study group a fellow study buddy made the comment that “to go from using the ego thought process to the Holy Spirit’s thought process was much like ending an abusive relationship. It makes you wonder why you stayed so long and put up with the abuse.” I’ve been thinking about this ever since.

The most abusive relationship I ever had is the one I have with myself. It doesn’t matter what happens or has happened. It’s never about the people or circumstances outside of me. It’s all about how I perceive and process the things I experience.

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.
