The Miracle of Balance

by Rev. Marie Hanson

This is my second winter in Nevada.  Last year was very cold and brought plenty of snow.  I was like a little kid.  I loved to shovel the walk and driveway. I loved watching it fall.  This winter is called a “pineapple express.”  It was mild most of the time, followed by brief periods of cold and snow.  These two extremes illustrate how nature miraculously balances itself.

The four seasons offer an outward reminder of the cyclic nature of life.  Another way is the observation of Lent, preparing for the celebration of Easter. I enjoy celebrating rituals and believe them to be an important part of my spiritual life.  Ritual can add purpose, expression and color to everyday experience.

The One Vicious Ego

by Rev. Lee Catalano

The ego would have me believe that it is me. Sometimes while practicing forgiveness I get confused and think that is it difficult to remember who it is that I truly am. The ego is just thought. False thought, it isn’t and never will be, Who I am.

There is only one ego. It makes no sense to judge it, it is one as is the Son of God One. To see the ego at work in another and to say “his ego” or “her ego” is to personalize and to further teach myself, that egos are many and real.

The Process of Forgiveness

by Rev. Lee Catalano

Forgiveness empties the mind of false beliefs by our willingness to let them go. False beliefs are the driving force behind ego thought. A thought cannot linger and take hold without there being an underlying belief.

Jesus refers to the “little willingness” to see things differently in the Course. The willingness is little in the beginning, because that is all he (Jesus) needs in order to get his foot in the door of our minds, metaphorically speaking. With the little willingness to see things differently we begin to have little episodes of peace. As we begin to identify peace with letting go, our willingness to let go increases to “great willingness.” That is why it is so vital to have the experience that he is pointing to in the Workbook lessons and the experience is peace.

Waking Up/Awakening

Rev. Colleen Mc Nally

I sit this morning taking some deep breaths. As I begin this day, I am aware of a deep need to nurture my soul. “We will practice laying aside our false personas so we can focus on the perception and awareness of our soul.” (Pathways course 802: Soul Awareness)

As I go about my morning rituals and settle into this more focused time of reflection and prayer, two words are jumping around in my mind. They are ‘waking up’ and ‘awakening.’ As I let meanings and understanding come to me, I realize a kind of playfulness. This play on/with these two words brings a smile to my face as I think to myself, “They really mean the same thing; they are inter-changeable. I can wake up or awaken in the morning and I can wake up and awaken to the Love within me.

Preferring Holy Spirit’s Plan

by Rev. Barbara Kraetsch

I am struck by how similar the first principle and foundation of St. Ignatius is to ACIM. Another confirmation that the truth is the truth. It may come to us in slightly different words, merely symbols in form, but the truth always remains the truth. Visionaries and mystics throughout time always come to the idea of oneness, with all else being illusion.

It is in coming to the idea of oneness that we can come to recognize our soul. We cannot find ourselves except to look at the One Self. We cannot find ourselves anywhere else because we don’t exist anywhere else. Everything in the illusion made by the mind can be a help to the end of rejoicing in our oneness with God. We can make use of what is in the illusion to help us to this end, and also learn to let go of what is any hindrance to us. A hindrance for us is attachment to form, letting expectations, preferences, or obsessions rule our lives.

My Desire to Be Right Causes Me Pain

by Rev. Joan Haber

I was given an opportunity to choose between being right and being happy yesterday and I discovered that I act out of habit. When the situation arose, I instinctively turned on my defenses and made a decision out of wanting to be “right” with this other person.

Right after I did so, I stopped and actually thought about what I did and why. I believe it is this type of vigilant awareness that will eventually save me from this type of situation that only brings me pain.
