Flexing My Faith Muscle

by Rev. Ashley Rose Legrand, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Got me a case of the winter blues. Way ahead of winter time. Makes sense. I always do things in my own time. And I’m always painfully early.

I’ve always been uncomfortable during these transition times (or the times in general, when for whatever reason, my mood seems to take a nose dive and I feel a little stuck, regardless of the season or time of year). I use the word uncomfortable loosely because it’s more of a soul-shattering, spirit-crushing, demolition of my mental health and the construct of my life that I’ve built in my mind. It’s ugly. It’s voracious. Its strength is unmatched.

I try to pry its fingers off my neck, off my heart, one by one, but to no avail. It’s relentless. I’m the perfect target. This sadness reveals my imperfections. The dark side of my mind. And I’ve succumbed,  yet again.

Wakey, Wakey, Rise and Shine

by Rev. Robin Singler, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

In a moment of deep asking for help from the Spirit, I was given this little song; a nursery rhyme for a scared little child. I share it here as a poem.

Wakey wakey, rise and shine,
Clear the cobwebs from the mind.
Let go of space, let go of time
Fearful dreams, they are not mine.

The Stars Are Brightly Shining

by Rev. Laurie Nevin, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

One of my favorite teachings in A Course in Miracles is about the “star” ...

“The sign of Christmas is a star, a light in darkness. See it not outside yourself, but shining in the Heaven within, and accept it as the sign the time of Christ has come.” (T-15.XI.2:1-2)

For years I’ve added this beautiful passage to Christmas cards and letters with a feeling of intellectual understanding. Now it holds a much deeper meaning.

A period of darkness involving self-blame and condemnation fostered a phase of depression. Every day literally passed by like “Groundhog Day” as I went through the motions.

I realized I had lost sight of being the Light even though it was my aware Self witnessing the mind becoming consumed by thoughts of separation, fear, guilt, and loneliness.

There Is No Peace Except the Peace of God

by Rev. Myron, Jones, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

For several years now, I have asked Jesus to clarify the daily Workbook Lessons and from that clarity, I write whatever comes to me. This year, I stepped way out of my comfort zone and started sharing this contemplation on YouTube.

So now each lesson so far is available there. I discovered that I enjoy sharing in this way and the feedback I receive is a bonus. If you would like to join with me in this way, here is the link to my channel. https://www.youtube.com/c/MyronJonesOMC. For those who prefer reading over watching a video, the lessons are available on my website. https://forgivenessisthewayhome.org/

The following is from Lesson 220. I am sharing this one because I had a lot of positive feedback on it and because it was helpful to me.

“I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.”

“1. There is no peace except the peace of God.

Let me not wander from the way of peace, for I am lost on other roads than this. But let me follow Him Who leads me home, and peace is certain as the Love of God.

I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.”

A Strong Spiritual Relationship

by Rev. Larry Glenz, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

A Course in Miracles have had such a positive effect on the way I look at my life. Like the great majority of us, I have experienced challenges that required a heavy dependence on Holy Spirit.

“Above all else, I want to see things differently.” (W.28)

I was introduced to ACIM in 1994 through Marianne Williamson’s book, “A Return to Love.” At the time I was 44 years old and going through a divorce from a 19-year marriage with two teenage boys. I had been a self-proclaimed agnostic through my adult life to that point. With no belief in Inner Guidance, my confidence in the direction of my life was at an all-time low.

“I trust my brothers who are one with me.” (W-181)

My close friend, Kevin Murphy, and I were both in a similar situation in our marriages and we were living together paying alimony and child-support. With his encouragement, we went to see Marianne Williamson in Manhattan and we bought the three books of A Course of Miracles. We started the Workbook together and we have shared our spiritual studies together ever since.

In fact, our lives have paralleled now for almost 50 years.

Forgiveness Brings Happiness

by Robert and Mary Stoelting, founders of Pathways of Light

In all our years of working with A Course in Miracles, we have found that forgiveness and happiness go together. As we are willing to let go of our false ideas of being separate and alone following the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we experience a sense of freedom and joy that comes with fulfilling our true function.

Forgiveness guides us to look past this world of separation to see our oneness with our Creator and every brother. We willingly shed our judgments in favor of healing and blessing our brothers. With Holy Spirit, we are safely led out of the dream of separation to find the eternal Love that has always been ours.

In the preface of ACIM, we are told, “Forgiveness is the Holy Spirit’s great learning aid in bringing this thought reversal about. …As we learn to recognize our perceptual errors, we also learn to look past them or “forgive.” At the same time we are forgiving ourselves, looking past our distorted self concepts to the Self That God created in us and as us.” (ACIM Preface, xi)
