I’ve been studying spirituality for over a decade and A Course in Miracles since 2017 and in December of 2019 I had a startling dream that led me to seek out Pathways of Light.
In the dream I sat uncomfortably squished between two men wearing dark suits in the back of a limousine. I remember feeling anxious and stuck between these two individuals as if I had to make some kind of choice.
In a moment of rage I screamed out “I was never supposed to be salesman! I was supposed to be a minister!”

Recently I heard someone say that those who don’t know, feel the need to speak! This contrasts with those who do know, and merely observe. A Course in Miracles teaches us to choose between two voices. The Holy Spirit’s voice is soft, gentle, even still. The ego’s voice is loud, urgent, wanting attention. Speaking from the ego’s influence, we feel we want to be heard, for we are “right” and surely, we can “help” others. The Holy Spirit’s Voice plainly lets me know it is not my place to correct or fix anyone else.
Under the guise of helping another, I have tried to control outcomes. This is not my function. It has been made clear that my function is recognizing my own faulty thinking and giving that back to the Holy Spirit. What I thought needed to change “out there” was but a reflection of what needed to be corrected in my Mind. True learning is realizing there is no “out there” to change.
Pathway’s has a course on cause and effect. The ego’s voice tells us the world we see is the cause of our emotions we experience. Holy Spirit tells us the world we see is what we want to see. We have beliefs in our Mind that are proven right by the body’s eyes. So, I am seeing what I have made real in my Mind.

The ambulance sped down the road with siren blaring and lights flashing. It was a hot June day in Las Vegas, Nevada. This was my first ride ever in an emergency vehicle. I felt it rock back and forth as the driver drove over a median to bypass traffic. The medic attending to me in the back called out to the driver and instructed him to notify the hospital that they were transporting a “code white.” I was to learn later that a “code white” indicated a patient having a stroke.
Less than an hour ago, I had been calmly getting ready for work when I started to feel odd. I sat down at my dining table to relax for a few minutes. But the strange sensations increased. I began feeling disoriented. The right side of my body seemed to be growing numb and I noticed that my speaking was slurred. I realized that whatever was happening, it was getting progressively worse. I asked my son, who had the day off from work, to call for an ambulance.
As we approached the hospital, my mind was a jumble of thoughts. I was supposed to be at work in an hour. I had meetings to attend, projects to complete, deadlines to meet. Yet, I wasn’t in any shape to make a phone call or text a message to a coworker or my boss. I felt suddenly cut off from my world of responsibilities and to do lists. What do I do now? I felt helpless.

The other morning, I was sitting outside in the fresh air while it was still dark outside, contemplating what is happening within and without.
I asked myself: Am I joining with this world, am I hiding from this world, where am I at?
What came to me was that I wanted to be still and just be. When I did this, I realized that I was just being, being as the plants and other beings (rabbits, bugs, birds etc.) were just being. They were being … quietly, not happy, not sad, not low, not high, just being. They were bringing to this world what they came to bring, without needing to worry, needing to hurry, needing to despair or reject who they are, what they are. They were just that: a rabbit, a bird, a bee, or a tree.
I noticed how wonderful it was to just be. Tears came to my eyes because I realized that I had been longing for this Beingness for a long time. Plants and flowers had always brought that feeling of being centered and just being to me. It is where we live.

June 21st 2021. It’s midday and suddenly I am struck with an intense toothache, excruciatingly painful. It lasted all that day and into the next day and the next day. Going to a dentist is not something I like to do. However by now I have come to realize this intense ache is not going away. Since moving east ten years ago I had not put in place a dentist for myself.
I contacted a local friend for a recommendation on the best dentist in the province. The dentist they suggested was a six hour drive from where I live. However I am willing to drive that distance for a dentist I trust.
I finally got up the courage to call the dentist’s office. The earliest date they could book me an appointment was for August 6th, almost six weeks before I would get relief from the pain.
Daily I continued to endure the discomfort and the pain.

Recently, I was asked to give a tribute in a church to my friend David, as part of a celebration of his life. He died last year, at the height of the pandemic, and only his family were able to attend his funeral. I worked with David over 40 years ago, long before he met his wife and had a family. His wife wanted me to share my personal experiences of David, so the congregation could get a full picture of him. I told her I’d think about it and get back to her.
My first thought was “No”. I couldn’t remember what we did together or what he was like so many years ago. But, then, memories came flooding back into my mind. We had so many fun and wacky times together, working in the creative department of a major advertising agency. I wrote down everything I could remember, which filled two pages. I got back to David’s wife and said “Yes.”
