“Let the Holy Spirit show him to you, and teach you both his love and his call for love. Neither his mind nor yours holds more than these two orders of thought.” (T-14.X.11:5-6)
I typically try to avoid negativity, including all news channels. However, while visiting a sick friend, I was exposed to a strong, contrasting viewpoint which I judged as hostile. This experience sparked a profound question: How can we learn to think differently if we only see one perspective? And how can we condemn others for their belief system, understanding that this is true?

The Course tells us, we were literally created TO create. To extend love. “Unless you create you are unfulfilled, but God does not know unfulfillment and therefore you must create.” (T-7.IX.3:6) Because we are one with God, our souls will long to seek fulfillment. When we don’t pursue our ministry, in whatever form that might be, we feel unfulfilled. Something is missing and not quite right. We can sense that something is just a little off. Our capabilities are lying dormant and our capacity for extension is not being fully utilized.
When we lean into spirit, get still and listen to the voice for God and what He is asking us to do and put out into the world, we feel a sense of restoration. Satisfied in a way beyond what the temporary pleasures of the world can provide. God is asking us to be His eyes, His ears, His hands, His feet and tongue. To bring into creation and into the world of form the unseen promises of His word. To make what seems to be hidden known and to help others see it too. He’s asking us to help our companions believe. To encourage them to feel and to know. Simply by our example. To remember His grace and to follow Him in confidence and in certainty.

I have been an ACIM student for 6 years and have been a member of a 12- step Recovery program for almost 24 years. In my first few years in recovery, one of my counselors was a student of the Course. I really liked her calming presence and her patient attitude.
One day, while sitting in her waiting room, I noticed a thick blue book on the shelf. I picked it up, and within five minutes, I put it back. I was not ready. I remember saying to myself, huh? As I read the first Lesson: “Nothing I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] means anything.” (W-1)

While I was studying my Pathways of Light lessons with my mentor, Rev. Maria Felipe, I expressed my concern about how I could best serve. “What would I do after I was ordained?”
Rev. Maria kept assuring me that the right opportunity would show up at the right time. Once again, my mentor was right!
Initially, I started my own brand, which I called Peace and Harmony Ministry. With the help of my talented son-in-law, we created a logo; next a website, https://peaceandharmonyministry.org.

The Course reminds us more than once that “…the sole responsibility of the miracle worker is to accept the Atonement for himself….” (T-5.V.7:8)
It lays the responsibility right back on ourselves. It is our responsibility to accept Atonement. The Course defines atoning as undoing, in particular the undoing of fear. (T-1.I.26.2-3) and that the “first corrective step” toward atonement is undoing fear. (T-2.VI.7.1) The Course “…repeatedly emphasized the need to recognize fear and face it without disguise as a crucial step in the undoing of the ego.” (T-12.I.8:5)

“The unreality of the body” must be an acceptable idea, says Jesus. The body and the entire cosmos was projected from a split mind in fear of God. The idea of bodies automatically puts the mind in deprivation and the ego feels continuously deprived. The moment I see another as a body, I am in a mind that is at war with God buried deeply in the unconscious mind.

Ego is a robo call, Calling every day
Not knowing who’s on the other end
I pick up the phone and say
“Hello, how can I help you?”
It responds in a disruptive way
Giving me a slick sales pitch
To hijack my happy day
