The Peace of Heaven

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

Rev. Maura WilliamsThe world is chaos
and I can know
the peace of Heaven now.

There is nothing in me
not leaping for joy at this idea.

There is nothing in me
blocking this flow of Love.

Forgiveness Lessons with the Computer

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

Rev. Linda WisniewskiHappy New Year. Your computer is not working. Are you kidding me? I can’t survive without my computer. What will happen with the ministry? I depend on the computer for everything. How will I connect? How will those that are trying to contact me know that I’m here if I don’t answer them? Maybe they will think I don’t care. Oh, this is a disaster. I’m finished. Everything is ruined.

These are the ego thoughts that came rushing in when the server on the computer broke and I couldn’t get it fixed for four and a half days. Oh my. The ego is an insane thought system and I’m glad you didn’t see it in action when I found out it wouldn’t get fixed for four days. “What do you mean, the people don’t work on the weekends. Can’t you see this is an emergency?” screamed the ego.

Not only is the ego thought system loud, but it projects its loud mouth onto others. My poor husband thought I was ranting and raving at him as I was hurling my thoughts into the atmosphere.

Then of course the guilt came up. How could I be so mean to the one I love? What kind of Course student am I? I’m such a hypocrite. Again, the ego thought system will use anything to make us feel guilty, wronged and unworthy.

Fearless Love

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

Rev. Michael GravesHaving lived more than a few years of life now, I have come to know that most people in the world are genuinely kind and loving at heart. But I have also noticed that there seems to be something that stops some of us from fearlessly expressing love and kindness to others we meet in life. Especially if they are considered to be strangers or someone we don’t “know.”

Students of A Course in Miracles are more aware than most that there is no such thing as a stranger, only a brother, and that every encounter is a Holy encounter. Yet, many of us still struggle to be more open and fearless with others.

I Quit

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

Rev. Carly GlasmyreI walked into my manager’s office, tension running through my body. I sat down, looked into her eyes, told her I was giving my two weeks, and promptly burst into tears.

I was not happy at my current job, and I’d gotten a new one that paid more and was closer to my home. It was a victory, really. It just didn’t feel that way.

Ever since I was young, I believed that my job should make me happy. I grew up with people telling me to “follow my passion.” I read books that said doing what you love to do is the meaning of life. And, conversely, I watched adults in my life suffer and curse their jobs as the source of their unhappiness.

Changes and Distractions

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

Rev. Maura WilliamsThis world we live in is full of changes and distractions. I can be peacefully sitting in my home and the phone could ring and a voice inform me of some bad news I was not prepared to hear. My world can go from very peaceful to the living hell of trying to comprehend the impossible.

A break up, a divorce, a diagnosis, a death, an accident, it doesn’t matter, they’re all the same. This kind of event intrudes into our somehow seemingly ordered lives and smashes us. It scatters each and every part of how we knew ourselves just moments ago.

How do we bring ourselves from the state of disbelief, disappointment, delusion and complete confusion? It all starts with remembering.

Trusting, Letting Go and Receiving

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

Rev. Andrea Sassa ArchuletaLately, people are sharing their concerns about money with me. Some are expressing future concerns — feeling they have enough money to take care of themselves now, but worrying whether they will have enough down the road. Others are feeling tired because earning the money they do have is hard work, so hard that their bodies ache. Then there are those feeling they do not have enough money right now — not enough to pay for the offices they rent to earn their livelihood.

The One About Waiting

by Rev. Stephan Mead, O.M.C.

Rev. Stephan Mead“When my check comes, I’ll finally get my affairs straightened out — then I’ll be happy.

“If she forgives me, and gives me another chance — then for sure I’ll be happy.

“All I need is for it not to rain next Tuesday, then the event will go well — and I’ll be happy.

“Is this day of hell ever going to end? At least after work I’ll be able to go home and relax — then I’ll be happy.”

Waiting, waiting, waiting! Does the ego have a better trick? Practically every conversation between Course students will reinforce the concept that, “the only time that exists is right now.” Then, while this concept is being discussed, the students will leave reality and start talking about “waiting,” waiting for something to happen. Waiting to finish the ACIM lessons, waiting for the next workshop to begin, waiting for a future occurrence when at long last they’ll be happy. Waiting for the impossible to become possible.
