Why have I been so strongly drawn to the teachings of A Course in Miracles? I had no previous strong spiritual beliefs. Although I attended Sunday school and became confirmed at age 13 as a Presbyterian, I stopped attending church and praying shortly after.
When I was a kid, I prayed for certain outcomes to take place that didn’t happen. Looking back, the things I prayed for were insignificant. I lost faith, however, that God was listening or watching me. Later on, the dogma of organized religion turned me off, as did the long history of violence in the name of God.

“I have given everything I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] all the meaning it has for me.” (W-pI.2)
It was Sunday, February 1st, about noon. I was up at our cabin on Whidbey Island preparing for my partner, Nancy, (who was in Seattle picking up my granddaughter,) and about a dozen friends, who were coming over to watch the Superbowl. I had the big screen TV on the pre game activities. Company was starting to arrive with enough food and treats to party through the evening, and Nancy made the 1:30 ferry. This game was going to be the most watched event in history! All was well! All was perfect!

As a Pathways of Light ministerial candidate, I am currently working on Course 112: Knowing Your True Purpose with Rev. Maria Felipe. In this course, one of the assignments is to ask Holy Spirit a question, and write down the answer received. When I got to this assignment, I listened within for what I needed to ask and was surprised when this came up: Why am I doing this? Why am I taking these Pathways of Light courses? Why am I doing A Course in Miracles? What is my true focus? What is the practice I should commit to?

Don’t sweat small stuff…
Don’t sweat small…
Don’t sweat…
Don’t…
Do!
If I sit still and listen, the answer always comes. Even when it comes as if it were a tutorial.

When we incarnate into this earthly existence, it becomes our nature to fight with each other, attack, discriminate and disregard those that we associate with every day. It isn’t uncommon to have a smile on our faces while, under the mask, we are seething. If we are all the “Son Of God,” how can we be so cruel to each other?
From the time we are small children, fighting with our siblings and throughout our lives with our classmates and then spouses and others, we seem to have continuous strife with our brethren. So why do we seem so compelled to continue to manifest war in our lives?

I am currently studying the Pathways of Light Ministers Courses. I was working on course 901: Introduction to Miracles Practice at the time I participated in a call with Robert and Mary and other pathways ministers. Mary suggested we write down the following quote, and ask Holy Spirit how we can apply this in our lives:
“Put all your faith in the Love of God within you; eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. This is the answer to whatever confronts you today.” (W-p1.4:3-4)

I am continuing to contemplate “Who is Maria?’
I get this: that I hate myself, and then I get that I am a ‘set of thoughts which make up ‘me’.
I am asking for Help to let go of the judgment of Maria.
