I had an experience recently that showed me in a very concrete way that when I am in the present moment, in the Now and what the Course refers to as the Holy Instant, nothing is happening but Love and I am in a state of beingness, the essence of who I Am. It is very peaceful and joyful.
So, if I’m not peaceful, what is the problem? Is something or someone out there disturbing my peace of mind? Is it the hot, humid weather we get in the Midwest taking away my peace and my ability to have a good day? Does an argument with a loved one ruin my day? God’s Will for us is happiness. Is anyone out there responsible for me being happy, peaceful and content? Can anything in my life ruin my decision to be happy and have a good day?

Once upon a time, I trusted
that I was cared for.
As I came to a street corner,
My father’s hand would just appear
in front of me. Mine in his,
We walked across the street,
Navigating any obstacles
that came our way.
I didn’t question his lead.

When students new to the Course come to me, they inevitably ask where to start. Back in the old days, when I thought I knew something, (not really that long ago, truth be told) I would tell them. What I told them, of course, was what I was guided to do, and what has my guidance to do with them? We each have the Holy Spirit within us to be our Guide and no one needs someone else to do that. We each have a specific path to follow and only the Holy Spirit knows what that is.

A few days ago, my husband and I went to a local Waffle House restaurant. We discovered this little gem by accident and probably only went in because our daughter said how much her family enjoys going to Waffle House. Up until this latest encounter, we thought of it as an old, dirty, little truck stop.
On entering the restaurant, all the employees shouted out: “Good morning!” Wow! At what other restaurant do you walk in and get that kind of greeting? We sat in a booth and a sweet, young woman named Skye immediately came over to wait on us. The whole time we were there, Skye never lost the beautiful smile that had found her face.

“There is no order of difficulty in miracles. One is not “harder” or “bigger” than another. They are all the same. All expressions of love are maximal.”
“Miracles are natural. When they do not occur, something has gone wrong.” (T-1.I.1:1-3)
“Miracles are everyone’s right.” (T-1.I.7:1)
Well, What Exactly Is a Miracle?
I am asked this a lot when people know that I work with the text, A Course in Miracles. Some ask if the Course will teach them how to walk on water, or turn water into wine, maybe even part the sea. Now wouldn’t that be cool!

It’s never about what you’re doing. It’s never about your behavior. It’s always about your thoughts and sometimes it’s about what you’re not doing by doing whatever it is you are doing.
You can take just about any “bad” habit and apply this to it.
I often interrupt people when they talk. I think I know what they’re going to say and I’m afraid I’ll forget what I want to say, so I interrupt them and blurt out my comment.
Let’s look not a what I did that was so rude, but at what I didn’t do: I didn’t let them finish. I don’t know what they were going to say and now I probably won’t get to hear it, because I’ve hurt their feelings. But there’s more. In not letting them finish, I didn’t allow the Holy Spirit room to reply through me. My ego thought its agenda was more important and rushed in to “help” me. I don’t need this kind of help. It is not loving, it is not kind and it is not caring. It’s selfish, rude and unnecessary.

Hi, my name is Kurt Koch (aka Kurtis Myson) and I was recently ordained as a Pathways of Light Ministerial Counselor. I am also a musician and I have been writing songs as I have been working my way through the Pathways of Light Ministerial Training.
Music is the language of Spirit. Speaking just from my own experiences, spiritual music opens up my soul. As I began to work on these courses, I started to notice how events in my life would bring forth the lesson to be learned in the particular course I was taking.
