As we say in our workshop presentations, it seems that our assignment from Holy Spirit has been in the area of healing relationships. We do not say this tongue-in-cheek because both of us have gone through many experiences of having to work on our relationship with ourselves, each other, family, friends, co-workers, and with God. This is an ongoing process that will continue for the rest of our lives.
We have learned many ways of how not to handle relationships. For many years, we both made the mistake of listening to the guidance of our egos and did things our way. Unfortunately, this led us down many painful paths. It was not until we both came to a place of hitting our own personal rock bottoms that we began to seek help from a Source greater than ourselves.

With one ‘tiny mad idea,’ we brought our wish to fruition. Oneness became ‘otherness’ and the one became ‘individuals,’ all complete with the ego’s self seeking goals. Time, matter and space were born and for the first time we got to experience ‘relating.’ In the pre-separated state of oneness, there was no comprehension of anything outside this oneness. All was one and we were all. There was no need to relate to anything. In the separated state that we’re now dreaming, everything and everyone appears to be apart and outside us.

Rev. Sue Borg —We will be giving a weekend workshop at Pathways of Light August 4-5 that will be based on Lesson 50 in the Workbook: I am Sustained by the Love of God. This lesson begins with — “Here is the answer to every problem that will confront you, today and tomorrow and throughout time. In this world, you believe you are sustained by everything but God. Your faith is placed in the most trivial and insane symbols; pills, money, ‘protective’ clothing, influence, prestige, being liked, knowing the ‘right’ people and an endless list of forms of nothingness that you endow with magical powers.” How many “gods” or “idols” do you place before God?
I discovered that I even placed the bathroom before God. My first thought every morning used to be, “I have to get up and go to the bathroom.” When I realized I thought about using the bathroom before I even had a notion of thinking about God, I changed that waking thought and now upon waking I think and even say out loud, “Good Morning, God. Here I am wanting to know where to go, what to say and to whom.” A much nicer morning greeting!

His name is Will, or I like to call him ‘God’s Will For Me.’ He was twelve years old and the ‘bully’ of our otherwise quiet, white picket fence neighborhood; a smart mouthed punk, a criminal, who seemed to enjoy hurting the other children. The last straw was when he shot a young girl in the mouth with a BB gun. The neighbors, in an uproar and full of fear, started a petition in hopes that the courts would remove this family from our community.
I, being a student of ACIM, was determined to see this differently.

The following is an excerpt from Myron’s pending book about applying the principles of A Course in Miracles to parenting. She has been studying A Course in Miracles for 25 years and has had extensive experience applying Course principles in parenting her children. Her children have encouraged her to write a book so that others can benefit as they have. Myron will also be facilitating a workshop on enlightened parenting September 15-16 at Pathways of Light.

I have a friend who is a minister of the church I belonged to during my childhood. She has been trained to hold services, baptize, counsel and do all the usual things ministers traditionally do. Today I realized yet again that I was a minister without church or congregation or a set plan for what I was supposed to be doing.
After I had been ordained, I was full of plans about what this ministry of mine would look like. After all there were plenty of courses I had been studying which I now could facilitate. Also, I could advertise them and work with them here locally. Then there was the Accessing Inner Wisdom Counselling.

…Or in clearer terms: Be diligent with the thought process! It’s ok to deny the thoughts that come to us that do not have our best interest in mind. Thoughts come to us every minute of every day. We need to remember that these thoughts are not ours. These thoughts are not who we are! The peace leaves us not because of the thoughts. The peace leaves due to the power we give the thoughts; the belief we have in the thought.
This denial that I am speaking of is the proper use of denial, meaning any thought or idea that does not have my highest interest in mind does not serve my healing and should be denied or let go of or turned over to the Holy Spirit for transformation.
