Lesson 108 is titled, ‘To give and receive are one in truth.’ For many of us, service to our community is the way that Holy Spirit chooses for us to experience this. When I was a resident at a spiritual center in London and was asked to join the management team as marketing director, I thought it was because of my unique skill sets, which was true to an extent. What I discovered was that the management positions within the community were as, or even more, valuable to the people providing them (me in this case) as they were to the community being served. It taught me that one of the main purposes of a spiritual community is to provide opportunities for service to its members wherever possible. These people would in turn allow the organization to grow and extend the connections deeper and more broadly across the entire community.

Everything that you see in the world challenges your trust in turning all your decisions over to Inner Guidance. We have great resistance to trusting and we need to recognize this before we can meet the all-important challenge. Every time we feel emotions that are in the category of “fear” thoughts, we can be certain we have dropped the hand of our Higher Power. There is someone or something that we haven’t forgiven.

I’ve been teaching a series of lessons on forgiveness on ACIM Gather. The last one I did was from the Workbook, “What is Forgiveness?” This section has helped me understand the Course’s definition of the word forgiveness, but more importantly, it has helped me practice forgiveness.
So how does the Course define forgiveness? It begins by telling us that forgiveness recognizes what you thought your brother did to you has not occurred. It has taken me a long time to accept this. At first it was completely unacceptable to me. Slowly over time as my willingness grew, I began to embrace it as my salvation.

One of the gifts from God is His grace. He wants us to receive His grace so much and He is so very patient, just waiting for us to make a place for it within us. It is our job to weed out from within ourselves all the guilt, dishonesty, unworthiness, judgment, limitation, the need for suffering. The list goes on and on.
When we really get to the “root” and weed those things out of us, we make room for grace, God’s Love, kindness to ourselves and others, non-judgment, joining with others at the altar of God.

I was recently ordained as a Pathways of Light minister. I wanted to share the highlight of my experience, the final day of the teleconference in which we were ordained, but let me begin by saying that I was a reluctant student.
One day, about 18 months ago, I was led to the Pathways of Light website, as I was interested in learning about their courses. I have been a long time student of A Course in Miracles, but was thinking that it was time to expand. I thought that I would leisurely take a course and if felt so moved, to possibly finish my studies to become an ordained minister by my 50th birthday in 3 years.

How is the body seen through the ego’s eyes?
I see my body as the face of sin and death. I see my body as a home for parasitic thoughts of death and attack, robbing me of my sustenance. I see a fleshly casing and covering that is filled with sin, death and disease. My body is afraid of death, for this will be the demise of me. I will be wiped from existence as my body sickens and retreats into dust; for the dust too will vanish and there will be nothing left of me — the body telling me that I have never existed. My greatest fear comes upon me at death — the fear that I am not real. And if I am not real, then there must not be a God.
