This Year, Am I Willing to Remember the Mind Boggling Truth?

by Rev. Mary Stoelting

image As we begin this new year together, I am struck with the idea that this coming year brings with it an opportunity of ‘mind boggling’ proportions. As students of A Course in Miracles, we all know that it is very important for us to allow our minds to be ‘boggled’ by the Holy Spirit. When we let our minds be ‘boggled’ by the Holy Spirit we remember that in reality, there are no separate minds. We remember that there is only one Mind and that we are all included in the one Mind of Love. We remember that we cannot leave the one Mind of Love because It is our true Identity and we cannot change What we are.

How a Spiritual Perspective Can Change Your Experience

by Dennis Gaither, MD

image We live in a world seemingly determined by events around us and experienced through our senses. We see before us many separate objects and separate bodies with a mind or will of their own. Everything our senses tell us seems to remind us, to convince us, that we are alone and separate in a world of scarcity, competition and danger.  A world in which what we have, what we have worked for, can be taken from us in an instant.

We try to buy some sense of security in this world in countless ways:  relationships (or in the avoidance of them!), through our jobs and roles, through bank accounts and insurance policies. We try to protect ourselves from a perceived threatening world in many other ways. We seek safety in isolation, personal and national weapons, keeping our guard up, and joining with others in alliances against persons or groups.

Accepting Holy Spirit’s Plan Brings Peace

by Rev. Barbara Kraetsch

imageI recognize today just how often I make plans in advance for myself and others. I think of things I will say and do, and how others will say and do. I make expectations in my mind by scripting in advance. I plan how people will act at family events and parties, meetings, holidays, work schedules — really, almost every situation or event I can think of. I script interactions and moods. I plan it out to meet my needs or what I think would be best, not only for me but others, as well. Sometimes these expectations get locked into my mind and if they don’t happen, I feel keenly disappointed.

Do We Have to Suffer to Grow Spiritually?

by Rev. Marie Hanson

imageThis question was asked at our A Course in Miracles discussion group recently.  What a great question! My mind immediately went into its busy-ness and monkey business. It would go to a back burner, and then come to the front.  It intrigued me. It eluded me. It deserved meditation and reflection.

I am aware of a part of me that always knows. It is joyful, peaceful. Then, there is the part of me that can be nosey and argumentative. It is noisy and brings my mind evidence to contradict Truth. My split mind!  How clever it is. Holy Spirit’s help is always at hand.  And invite Him in I did.  Ahhh…

How Am I Victimized?

by Rev. Myron Jones

imageThanksgiving was more meaningful to me this year than it usually is. I have so much to be thankful for. That I am still here after the hurricane season is at the top on my list. In fact, my life is one blessing after another. My home is undamaged, my family safe, my town getting back to normal. My life is so good that you would think I would have trouble finding things to complain about, but not so. In fact, I was thinking about something just the other day.

I have a new vehicle. Having a new car is good, but I really don’t like the process of buying one. This time it wasn’t all that bad, though. However, after the purchase was complete, I realized that they had not included a package that was supposed to be part of the deal.

I wasn’t really that upset about not having the package which was designed to protect the vehicle long term, and I seldom have a car long term, but I was charged for it and felt like I had been taken advantage of. As I sat there fuming over the situation, I realized that I felt like I was a victim of an unscrupulous dealership.

The Movie Dream

by Rev. Mary Manke

imageAs I am willing to see things differently, the gift is given and received.

Me: “Holy Spirit, how can I look at or feel the things that I’ve hidden, so that I can give them to you? The ego feels very threatened in this.”

Spirit: “That is the belief that you are not lovable, not accepted as you are right now.”

Letting Go: A New Beginning

by Rev. Cheryl Ford

image I am honestly at a complete loss for what is supposed to be happening in my life right now. I’m asking but not receiving any clear direction other than trust. Trusting is very hard for me because each day something else seems to take a new direction. It’s like a purging of all of my attachments, even people that are dear to me.

Much of this doesn’t seem to be happening by my own choice, other than my desire to follow God’s Will for my life. Why aren’t I able to trust and let go? I guess I’m afraid. Yet at this moment I feel that I have nothing and no one save Holy Spirit’s Voice.
