Perception of Order of Difficulties

by Rev. Lee Catalano

image Wow wee. The belief in order of difficulties is the problem. Jesus states in A Course in Miracles that any perception of comparisons is not so. So how can there possibly be an order of difficulty?

“A larger object overshadows a smaller one. A brighter thing draws the attention from another with less intensity of appeal. And a more threatening idea, or one conceived as more desirable by the world’s standards, completely upsets the mental balance.” (M.8.1:3)

This is about jealousy and the special relationship. This reminds me of observing my daughter’s experience of high school. The threats and cruelty in this section are played out in high school cafeteria’s (and the entire world) daily.

I Can Hardly Wait to See the Good That Comes from This

by Jo Blahnik

My father and I had always had intense reaction to the world and to each other. Several years into my study of A Course in Miracles I realized that I continually remembered my past with him with agitation. Then in Workbook Lesson 21, I became determined to see things differently when I heard “a slight tinge of annoyance is nothing but a veil drawn over intense fury.”

Finally recognizing my anger, I wanted to be rid of it. Surprisingly, when studying Workbook Lesson 192 (I have a function God would have me fill) I completely missed its message of forgiveness. But when I heard, “A jailer is not free, for he is bound together with his prisoner,” I realized that by reliving memories of our past together I was choosing to hold us both in that position.

Awakening to the Happy Dream!

by Rev. Cheryl Ford

image Once it’s decided to hand things over to Holy Spirit, the loving, healing experiences just don’t stop… If we can learn to understand and accept that all things happen for our good and stop attempting to attach our requirements onto how things should look and how they should be reflected externally, life really does become a happy dream!

Be Still. You Are Only Dreaming

by Rev. Michael L. Ciavarella

image  This past week, Walter Ego took a stand. It was a stand against all that I have been reaching for in the past year. Walter must feel threatened. He must feel attacked. He must feel afraid. He must feel as if he is losing control.

That would be okay, assuming that I understand this during the time that Walter decides to stand up for himself. What is it that causes me to forget that he is only as strong as I allow him to be? Why, in moments of combustion, do I forget the words of Glinda, the Good Witch of the North: “You have no power here. Begone! Before someone drops a house on you, too!”?

It’s Important to Help Others Believe in Themselves

by Rev. Alberta Phillips

image About ten years ago I met a lady named Mrs. Gaskin. She gleamed of love, spoke softly and was peace filled. Mrs. Gaskin asked if she could visit me sometimes, and I said yes. I felt comfortable around her even though my dad was prejudiced and taught us never to trust white people.

Right away trusting her felt right. She never judged me even though I was on drugs and depressed. She loved me right where I was, and wanted nothing from me. Every week Mrs. Gaskin came and no matter what I was doing when she called, I stopped. That amazed me because, as an addict, I would not have normally stopped.

How Busy Are You?

by Rev. Marie Hanson

image “Perhaps the greatest enigma of time is that nobody has enough of it, yet we almost always succeed in wasting it.” -Pete Mockaitis, The Student Leader’s Field Guide.

When I read this quote I recognized its truth for many of us. I remembered a conversation between two people talking about how busy they were. They were actually one-upping the other with how many hours they worked and how few hours they rested!
