Our Only Function to Find Peace

by Rev. Joanne Kraenzle Schneider, Ph.D., O.M.C.

It’s fairly safe to say, we are all searching for peace, whether we know it or not. The Course teaches that salvation is the only way in which we can find peace of mind. (W-pI.65.2:3) Yet, how do we practice salvation?

Salvation and forgiveness are the same. (W-pI.99.1:1) Thus, salvation, being forgiveness, is looking past our distorted view of the world, our perceptual errors. (ACIM, 2007, pg. xi) It is a letting go of the past and the future and being with what is. Salvation, or forgiveness, is our only function (W-pI.65) and the only way we can reach our goal, peace of mind. (W-pI.65.2:3) Yet we have taken on so many competing goals, for example, family goals, work goals, household goals, life goals, even spiritual goals. These goals reflect things we want to achieve in the world and are predicated on our distorted world view, not on salvation.

Old Time Religion: “You’re an Abomination. Get Out!”

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

Being recently ordained by Pathways of Light Spiritual College, I seek the path where I may best serve. I have been following a vital teaching of the Course: Listen. And as Rev. Mary Gerard Lenihan, O.M.C. would say, “Pause for Inspiration in the midst of everyday life.”

These easy to remember steps of “Pause for Inspiration include: PAUSE. The decision to stop in the moment. STEP BACK. The decision to get out of my own way. STEP ASIDE. The decision to invite Inspiration Within to help. And LET INSPIRATION GUIDE. The decision to choose my Inspired Mind and follow the Wisdom of Inspiration.”

Love Created Me as Love

by Rev. Rosemarie Tropf, O.M.C.

Last week I heard that Linda Wiesnewski was in hospice and I heard today that she has passed. Linda was my facilitator for the Pathways Course 909, “Wellness Through Healing The Mind,” so I got to know her somewhat then. Sometimes, we also engaged in the monthly calls that she oversaw to help those with chronic illness. In the last few months we had many conversations (on Facebook on the Daily Course Lessons as well as the Rules for Decision FB pages) about the Course and healing the body. As Myron Jones said, “Linda’s classroom was her body.”

Fear of Healing

by Rev. Gail Hamley, O.M.C.

“Is healing frightening? To many, yes. For accusation is a bar to love, and damaged bodies are accusers.” (T-27.II.1:1-3)

The quote above continues “Who has been injured by his brother, and could love and trust him still?” (1:5) It seems to be the state of our world today, doesn’t it? And when I look at my own responsibility in the ‘state of the world’ I can clearly say that I have been a grand participant in this consciousness… until recently.

Beyond Acceptance Is Perfect Love

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

Walking with wandering eyes, I rest my gaze upon the statuesque pines before me, drawn to the long crevices in between their layered fertile skins — those scented crevices of sweet vanilla — and I feel how comfortably seated these pines are in being the forest.

“So, they don’t have feelings of sadness or loneliness in them?” I ask.

“Well, they might. But they don’t get attached to those feelings,” is Spirit’s reply.

Listening to the Music of the Heavens

by Rev. Maria Kingsley, O.M.C.

We’ve all been there: We get into ‘the zone’ and things flow easily; life is a breeze. But then it ends, and we get stuck and can’t seem to find the rope, the feeling, the connection that we can grab hold of which will pull us back into the stream of good energy. There are many distractions that we seem to feel attracted to and follow, all kinds of thoughts to hold on to and spin another story. At times there seem to be no good ones anywhere.

I’ve found that these distractions, these obstacles and familiar thoughts of ‘I should, I have to, I ought to,’ etc., seem to have a strong hold on me. What does work, however, is to remember that this Moment is the exact and best time to change my mind. I can choose a new thought right now, I can decide to follow the thought that I really want which is leading me to the right and chosen goal.
