Self to self

Rev. Julie Gergum

I know who you really are.
I see the Truth in you. Don’t be
afraid to look, see for yourself.

Stop being afraid for just a minute
and Look. If you look, you will see it’s ok.
Really. Ease up a minute. Take a breath.
Still your body and those thoughts.

See? There it is, right where you left it:
who you were born to be,
what you were meant to do.

For what is Love but
an experience and an expression?
For what is Love but you?
You are not a puzzle.
You are Peace. Wow.

No don’t go, not yet. Try it on.
Feel how it feels:
You are Love and you are Peace.
If you are Love and you are Peace,
what do you want to do now?

Definitely more of resting in the Truth:
The fruits of Love and Peace are joy,
happiness, safety, trust, eternity, You.
You are what you have been seeking.
Now you know, too,
and self knows Self again.

Rev. Julie Bergum is a Pathways of Light minister living in Poulsbo, Washington.

Sign Posts

Jim Peterson

The wonders I behold
in this physical universe
are but sign posts.

They lead me
to the true wonders
that lie within.

Love of another
is but a shame
if it does not reflect
the unconditional
and wholly uniting Love
that is God.

A rose holds no beauty
if there is no love
in the Heart
of the perceiver.

The inner voice
which speaks against
our true Divinity
would have us believe
that the wonders
of this world are real.

It seeks to separate
the beautiful from the ugly,
the deserving from the undeserving.

In this way we judge
ourselves and others.

In this way we stay bound
to our external experience
and are denied
the wonders that lie
within each of us.

When next you perceive
beauty or wonder,
know that it is yourself
calling to yourself
and reminding you
that all is one.
All is Love.

Go inward.
Join with the rose,
the starry night sky,
the humming bird
and find
your true Divinity.

Miracle Mind Power

by Rev. Therese Anne Ward

I don’t know what happened, how it happened or why it happened, only that it did happen to me in November of 2007. Thanksgiving was coming up and I was thinking about preparations for our family celebration of giving thanks to God for all the good in our lives. The brilliant orange, red and yellow colors of autumn standing out against the deep burgundy and browns of the waning foliage, always calls me to introspection, praise and thanksgiving.

After my shower on this particular morning, I noticed a little red spot, about the size of a pinhead, right under my right eye orbit. At my age, new spots appear quite often, so I paid it no attention except to notice that it was getting wider and raising up day after day. Understand now that I am one who prefers to use medical doctors as a last resort. By the third week when I would look down, it was interfering with my sight, so I went to see an eye physician and surgeon. He had helped me two years earlier when I accidentally got badly poked in the eye with a tree branch. That time I was reassured that all would be well if I just kept the eye cleaned and rinsed every day, and it healed, just as he said it would.

This time after checking this growth, his diagnosis was 99.9% sure it was Basal Cell Carcinoma, (cancer) and he declared, ”It has to come off.” He explained that he would have his nurse make the appointment with a plastic surgeon for the reconstruction work that would be needed after the removal. I was shocked by the seriousness of my condition that he was laying out for me; my mind was conflicted, trying to “practice” accepting what is, and the other side of me, wanting to run in panic. It seems that you have to wait quite a while if you have not seen a particular doctor before, so my appointment with the plastic surgeon was scheduled for December 11. That wasn’t soon enough for me.

Well, where my mind went the rest of the day was to my mother and sister who both died from cancer and trying to accept, whatever is to be will be, even dying of cancer. I thought about what a full life I’ve had with family and friends; not always easy but always rewarding and satisfying. I was feeling truly, truly grateful to God for my life lived. My husband was very supportive; however, my deep comfort came from quietness with the Holy Spirit. I prayed my “proven” mantra, “ Holy Spirit, I lay this on your altar; translate it to Truth for me.”

Going to bed, I prayed it again. Then I noticed that I found myself taking saliva from my mouth onto my finger and rubbing it gently over the growth. That reminded me of how Jesus had taken spittle and dirt and put it on a blind man’s eyes and his sight was restored. So I continued with the saliva and prayed, “Dissolve and reabsorb and restore; make as should be at birth. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.”

I went to sleep. Woke up during the night a few times and did and prayed the same prayer, plus a line from the Unity prayer of faith, “All things I am, can do, and be, through Christ the Truth that is in me.” and “Not I, but the Father within doeth the work.” Now, under my fingers it was granulating into pieces like sugar. It was definitely getting smaller, dissolving away like sugar granules dissolve! When I took my morning shower, the growth was completely gone! All that was left on my skin was a tiny red flat spot the size of a speck of pepper. Thank you Holy Spirit, thank you Holy Spirit is all I felt and could say.

I knew that I had to immediately cancel the appointment with the plastic surgeon. Also call my eye doctor and tell him that it was gone, just gone, and go show myself to him! Well the office had closed early because the next day was Thanksgiving Day. It would reopen the following Monday. So I left my “Miracle Message” and offered to come in to show him. Of course I told my whole family my story and showed them my eye; those who had seen the former growth were amazed and speechless. The other kids eyes widened in wonder. What a “Miracle Minded” Thanksgiving celebration we all had!

Monday, the doctor’s nurse called and said, yes, he would like to see me and he wouldn’t charge me for this visit. By this time, even the red dot was gone; just clear clean skin. I went right down there and he put me under a strong light and he looked me over real good without saying a word. I of course was telling my story, that “all I did was spit on it and pray to the Holy Spirit, etc.” The doctor did speak after he had finished his examining and said, “Well I certainly am glad that I was wrong.” Then he repeated it again, “I certainly am glad that I was wrong.” I smiled and thanked him. He turned and left the room and I went home, pondering. “I was wrong” was his explanation; mine was that I was given an experience of the Miracle Mind Power of the Holy Spirit at work.

The Power of Willingness

Revs. Robert & Mary Stoelting

We just completed video taping the Regina Dawn Akers 3-day workshop here in Kiel, Wisconsin. It was an incredibly powerful three days of returning to the truth and remembering what we are really here for — to wake up from dreams of separation. There were many insightful and inspiring discussions, along with lots of laughter and play in the form of swimming, canoeing, and eating meals together.

As soon as we are able, we will make the complete workshop available on CD’s and DVD’s. What a powerful time of awakening we are now experiencing because of our willingness!

Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Vieira’s 4-day workshop (see page 8) is coming up August 13-16. Lodging is filled up but there is still room to attend the workshop and stay at a nearby hotel. This workshop will be our last in Wisconsin as we are moving to Florida.

It now looks like the property will be sold soon and we will be buying property that is close to the Orlando airport and nearby hotels. This allows us to have bigger and more frequent events that people are requesting.

In addition to moving to Florida, we are moving forward with the Spanish translations of all the Pathways of Light ministerial training courses. We would like to acknowledge Rev. Annie Arbona and Rev. Yvelise Fingerhut for all their Spirit-led work making this available to the Spanish community world-wide.

Rev. Annie Arbona will also be moving to the Orlando area so that will expand our service even more as we will be able to make CD’s and DVD’s in Spanish. Rev. Johannys Hartog and her husband Jack (see article on page 4) are also helpful angels paving the way for the move to Florida. Johannys is multitalented and her beautiful singing has been so moving that we were brought to tears as we joined with her in remembering our Source in God. We thank her for her participation and joining with us in one purpose of awakening to the Truth.

Rev. Helena Montiero, from Brazil, is now here with us this month and is working on translating the Pathways ministry program into Portuguese. We just look at all the messengers of God showing up to join us in our one purpose and we celebrate how all our needs are being met as we open up to more and more willingness to Holy Spirit’s plan of awakening the whole Sonship.

Mary ­— The following message came to me as I stilled my mind and asked Holy Spirit for a message for this article:

I do not cease to call you to join Me. I do not call in vain.

You receive Me as you are willing to receive and truly accept the inner peace and inner joy I send you. You receive Me when you allow yourself to feel a quiet inner contentment and know that in truth all is well, no matter what seems to “happen” in the dream world of separate bodies.

You pause and listen.

I communicate to you a feeling — the feeling and quiet remembering that you are safe in the Mind of God. And that you can never leave the Mind of God, even though you may block your awareness of It by dreaming dreams of being separate and alone in a world of unique bodies.
You pause and listen.

You receive a gentle reminder that there is no purpose worthy of your devotion but My purpose of awakening you gently from these disturbing and fearful dreams of limitation and one seeming problem after another.

You take awhile to rest with me, away from the busy-ness of the world.

You are refreshed and reinvigorated by the acceptance and Love you feel… You join with the quiet inner peace that is always there for you.

You are reassured again that the truth of oneness is eternally true and nothing else could ever be true. You feel safe in this remembering.

You take time out from the world and wait and listen… and judge not… and as you are ready, simple uncomplicated Love quietly arises to the surface of your mind… because you want It…

You take the time to quietly look with Me at the worldly images you see… and together we see that we need not take them too seriously… I show you your innocence… and how much you are loved… I show you everyone’s innocence and how much they are loved…

As you walk through your daily lessons of seeing the world differently with Me, you feel hope… and a deeper trust in the accelerated awakening process.

As you are vigilant to join with Me you feel a quietness within… You are willing to stay in the now moment with Me… Herein lies your successful journey. I am right here with you every moment, guiding you all the way, showing you the difference between the ego’s values in the world and My eternal values that never change, never come and go.

I am in deep gratitude that you are willing to give Me the time that you used to give to the ego. The power of your awakening to the Truth lies in your willingness to join with Me. Together we join with the truth in every brother.

Joined together we share one purpose — that of waking up from the dream and recognizing that you are safe in the Mind of God, no matter what nightmares you are dreaming.

I am here to remind you that you never left Heaven. You are innocent. You are safe. You are loved. You are Home, now and for eternity.

Mary & Robert Stoelting are co-founers of Pathways of Light. They currently live at the Pathways of Light Center in Kiel, WI and will soon be moving to Florida.
