I woke up this morning. It was early and I realized that I was wide awake. As I am in the process of doing my Miracles Practitioner practice, I am having this experience of words resonating in me. I am finding that I will take one passage from A Course in Miracles or from Pathways of Light Course 921 and immerse in it before sleeping.

May 28th, I and seven other students were ordained as ministers of Pathways of Light. For me it was the culmination of a long journey from darkness into light; a journey of the prodigal son’s return Home to his Heavenly Creator. Like so many others, I had become disillusioned with the God of my childhood script Who was supposed to be loving but Who I falsely believed also created a world of pain, misery and suffering.

As much as I thought I wanted to move in the direction of doing spiritual teaching, I went on for an entire year in my marketing job after becoming an ordained minister before I lifted a finger towards creating anything with it. I don’t know if I believed what I was telling myself that it just wasn’t time yet, that I hadn’t quite finished the marketing stint yet.

I watch my mind. The other day I believed in the illusion of an infected tooth. There seemed to be pain and swelling. There were fear thoughts. I needed to really know that this was an illusion, never mind what appeared to be going on. I needed to look at the truth which is unchanging and ever-present.

Wellness is accepting my true Identity in God and nothing else.
Wellness is listening only to the truth.
Wellness is being one with God.

My life is one of miracles as miraculous experiences sweep my life. I know I am eternally embraced by the grace of Holy Spirit.
I was born in Congo, Africa, to a very loving spiritual family. Life has continued to be one of being open to joyful reflections of my mind, every moment.
On May 28th I was one of the ordained ministerial candidates and was part of the celebration at Pathways of Light. This came after meeting the mirror reflection of my mind, Robert Thompson. We were united a Holy Union celebration on October 9, 2004 at our home in Portage, Wisconsin.

The day has finally come. All my effort and hard work is finally paying off. Today is the day I will be ordained as a minister. This is a day for happiness and rejoicing. Or so I thought it should be. April 13, 2005 dawned a cold, cloudy, rainy day. I awoke on this day feeling just as gloomy as the outdoors. On a day that should have been one of the happiest in my life I felt plagued by misery and self-doubt. What now?

The walls of time are fragile and the seeming protection that is afforded its occupants can come crashing down at any moment.
Love waits for any opportunity to slip quietly past the protection that time seems to provide. A momentary lapse of the awareness of time is all that is needed and a quiet remembrance slips through the barrier and ever so gently shifts the awareness of hate that seemingly holds the gate shut to the beckoning call of Love. An instant is all that is needed to shift the world from that of hate to Love.

In God, we live and move and have our being.” (Acts 17:28) That is the reason all things are possible in God. All things are possible because we are in God. Why is that so hard to believe? If we are in God, why do we seem to be so unhappy much of the time? Why do we experience pain and fear and guilt? Why does there seem to be so many miserable people leading sad lives? The circumstances of our lives seem to argue against God, or argue for an insane God.

Jesus lives in me. How often do you think about this statement? Do you think about it at all? Some may not think these are very important questions. However, these questions hold the key to peace and the feeling of security in our lives. The Son of God lives as us. We are one with this energy, this power of God, in a very real way. It creates our real life. How could we not think it was important to look at how often we consider what our real existence is.

The night before writing this article we asked the Holy Spirit to bring us inspiration. The following is what transpired:
Mary — While I was showering, the idea kept coming to me: Nothing has changed. Then a picture came to me. When I was a child, I had a picture of Jesus across from my bed. When I woke up in the morning, there he would be, reassuring me that no matter what seemed to be happening in my life, he was there. His picture reminded me that everything was going to be all right. This picture was the face of kindness, the face of gentleness.

Does your life seem to present an endless series of problems? Are you experiencing struggles and conflicts at work, at home and in your personal relationships? Have you asked yourself, “Why does it seem so difficult to figure out how to live a simple, peaceful and happy life?” We are going to discuss what is really going on behind the scenes and how to apply the real solution in our lives.

In 2003, at the age of 89, my mom decided to sell her house and enter a community of people her own age. I think that this took a lot of courage on her part. She no longer wanted the responsibility that comes with the upkeep of a house. My brothers and I worked together to find a place to her liking and helped her make the move to the senior residence.

“I’m ready! Promotion! I’m ready! Promotion!” was the repetitive phrase my sweetheart’s niece, Alexa, proclaimed as she marched intentionally around our living room. It was Alexa’s eighth birthday. I wasn’t sure where the chant came from. It was not familiar to me. One thing was clear: It wouldn’t be the last time I heard it.

There is no Will but God’s. I am realizing that I have been giving more attention to my own will than to the Will of God. My ego takes over and I am in wrong-minded thinking. From here, my entire day can become a complete shambles and full of one illusion after another. It is like anxiety and fear become the ground of my being. It is here that I needed a change in my perception. This is the shift to right-minded thinking. In right-minded thinking, the ground of my being becomes the Love of God. “You focus your thoughts on remembering that the Holy Spirit is right there in your mind, waiting to help you remember your true Identity in the oneness of God’s Love. You let the Holy Spirit remind you that only God’s world of Love is real. You let the veil of the false world be lifted and you are willing to rest in the truth awhile.” (Course 921: Miracles Practitioner, Part I, pg. 47)
