Handing It Over: It’s the Key

by Rev. Colleen Fee, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Truck problems: Friday night my truck would not start. I was stranded at my niece’s horse ranch, 30 miles from home. No mechanic was open. Fear came up about how to get home.

Hand it over to Holy Spirit.

Allison (an Angel), who works for my niece, shows up and asks if we need help. Yes, the truck won’t start and we need a ride home, but we live in Greeley. No problem, she was going that way anyway. The ride with Allison was an opportunity to have a nice conversation about working at the ranch.

I left the spare key in the truck for tow. It is safe to leave the truck unlocked on my niece’s property. We will meet the tow truck on Monday morning.

Saturday we pick up a rental car. Monday morning we call a mechanic and tow truck. As we go to meet the tow truck, fear comes up about how much all of this is going to cost.

Hand it over to Holy Spirit. (I do not know what anything means.)

As we wait for the tow truck, the weather becomes warmer. I decide to see if the truck will start. Using the spare key I left in the truck, the truck starts.

Thank you Holy Spirit!

I cancel the tow truck. I decide to leave the truck running as it has a full tank and I want to be sure to get it to the mechanic. I drive back to Greeley and pick up Deb so she can drive the rental. I feel relief for not needing a tow and being able to get it to the mechanic. I still have fear about why it wouldn’t start the night before. Maybe the cold weather? It has happened before in the cold.

Hand it over to Holy Spirit.

The mechanic said he will look at the truck in the next couple of days. It is a mechanic’s nightmare to have “intermittent” starting problems. It may be the fuel pump and cost $1,000 to replace. Sticker shock.

Hand it over to Holy Spirit.

I check in with the mechanic after the second day. The truck has started every time. The mechanic suggests a possible solution with fuel system but requires a part they have to order. He suggested the repair will be about $500 with no guarantee it will fix the problem. I decide to pick up the truck until the part comes in so I can return the rental. I fear the truck won’t start again before the repair and I will get stranded again. (I work 20 miles from home.)

Hand it over to Holy Spirit.

I arrive at the mechanic and settle the bill. I take my keys out to start the truck. A thought comes to my mind that the truck is not going to start. It doesn’t start.

Hand it over to Holy Spirit.

Then I have the thought that this is a good thing. The truck is at the repair shop and won’t start. Thank you Holy Spirit! Now they can figure out WHY it doesn’t start!

Hand it over to Holy Spirit.

I exit the truck to go tell the mechanic it won’t start and have the thought, “It’s the key.” Then I immediately turn my attention to getting them out to look at the truck. The mechanic tries to start it and it still won’t start. They look under the hood and check the fuel line and starter. All seems in working condition.

I hand it over and think again, “Thank you Holy Spirit, they will figure this out.”

The mechanic gets the diagnostic computer hooked up to the truck and starts scanning the systems for a problem.

Normal.. normal.. normal.. normal.. (as it scans) and then.. “Faulty key.”

The mechanic says, “It’s the KEY!”

At first I was confused. Why did it always start for them? Then I realized I was using MY key when it wouldn’t start. I had used the SPARE key that I left in the truck for the tow truck driver to start it to bring to the mechanic. The spare key was the one I left at the repair shop for them to work on the truck.

The mechanic took the spare key and put it in the ignition and it started right up. Then he put MY key in the ignition and it wouldn’t start.

I started dancing up and down beside the truck!

He explained that the chip in the key can start to go bad and cause it not to work sometimes until it finally will not work at all. Without the “bad” key in the ignition, the diagnostic computer would not identify it as the problem. They had the “good” key for all of their previous tests. Truck starting problem solved. New key $85.

Handing it over to Holy Spirit. PRICELESS!

All through this experience I kept handing over my fear to Holy Spirit. Each time I experienced some relief and then another piece of the puzzle fell into place for a most benevolent outcome. I have to admit the Holy Spirit has a sense of humor about using an actual KEY for this mind healing around fear-based thoughts.

Just Say “Yes!”

by Rev. Deb Fee, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

As a facilitator of the Pathways of Light Spiritual and Ministerial Training Courses, I am so blessed to be aware of Holy Spirit teaching me through my interactions with students as we go through the material. I always hand over our sessions to Inner Guidance and am truly delighted with whatever unfolds in our discussion.

Recently a student was expressing some difficulty with close family relationships and a reluctance to engage in communication as there was always an expectation of criticism and obligation. This student even said that they believed Holy Spirit did not want them to interact with these family members as (the student) was “not ready.” In other words, the “spiritual muscles” were not yet developed enough for them to be “safe” in that environment. Even though this student was a delightful person and a very loving and bright Light in their experience with almost anyone else, certain family members made them withdraw and feel the need to isolate from them.

As I listened to the student say, “No!” (literally) to communication, I distinctly heard in my mind, “Just say yes.” I knew I was receiving Guidance and asked in my own mind, “How do I do that?” Then the idea came to me to offer an experiment of sorts to the student. I suggested that for just one day the student would say, “Yes” to whatever choice was offered in their experience. When I sensed a little stiffening to the experiment, I said that the day should be set up the night before by asking Holy Spirit to bring only those situations that Holy Spirit WANTS them to choose to say, “Yes.” That way the student could be assured that Holy Spirit “has their back,” and would never bring an experience or choice that was not in their best interest, even if it didn’t appear that way at first.

Then it came to me to participate in the same exercise and I let the student know we would both have our results to share at our next session. It was very well received and I found myself intrigued with the idea.

Two days later, I received a text from a family friend who is also my brother’s best friend. I have not communicated with Gary (the friend) for many years. My brother is very ill and Gary was just letting me know that he was planning to drive to see him. Gary lives about 45 minutes away from me in Colorado and my brother and the rest of my family live in Missouri. His text was just to say he was planning to visit my brother as he was worried about him.

I was surprised to get the text but my first thought after reading it was, “Want some company?” I had been handing it over to Holy Spirit how I was going to be able to get back to see my brother and family as I had limited options for the trip myself, none of which were very convenient or appealing.

Of course, ego jumped in right away with all the reasons why it would be a bad idea to offer to go with Gary. We haven’t seen or talked to each other in years; we didn’t have anything in common; he is very religious and I am not; we are of opposite political persuasions; what would his wife think; and on and on (the ego is relentless). I shared the text with Colleen (my spouse) and she immediately said, “I think you should go.” Then I remembered the experiment: Just say yes. I replied to Gary’s text with an offer to help with the drive and gas if he wanted company. It turned out that was the reason he let me know he was going — to see if I was interested in going with him.

Gary and I had a wonderful road trip and we talked about everything. I learned so much about his life, family, and devotion to service in his religion. It didn’t matter at all about what I thought we had in common because it became evident very quickly that Love was where we were connected. It meant so much to my brother to see and spend time with both of us. I had the opportunity to heal relationships with my brother and sisters and their families that had suffered from our separation over the last several years. Everything seemed so easy and effortless. Several times during the visit I chose to say “Yes” when I might have said “no,” and every time it was the right choice. Every. Time.

Again, I am so Blessed to be aware of the opportunities presented to me by Holy Spirit to heal my mind. When I think I am offering help to a student or anyone else in my experience, I am helping myself. We Are All One. When I accept that Holy Spirit “has my back,” I can look at situations and relationships differently. There are no more challenging people or circumstances, just opportunities. “I can hardly wait to see the good that comes from this,” is a favorite saying of ours. Visiting a brother who is nearing end of life in this world gave me the opportunity to heal my mind about relationships. My brother’s circumstance gave me a wonderful gift.

By following Guidance with Holy Spirit and saying “Yes,” I was certain to be led to Peace.

Need a Boost? I Do. So, Here’s a Boost!

by Rev. Mary Lenihan, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

As I work here today at our Pause studio, I am feeling incredibly blessed to be doing the work I am doing — that Infinite Love is creating — and that is being shared through so many of us in our willingness to get out of our own way and let LOVE, love us so we can love others in the daily operations of life.

REMEMBER?

Yesterday, as I stepped out of our Pause studio door and stood in the parking lot, I heard a thought from My True Self, “It doesn’t get better than this.” I REMEMBERED that I have been gifted, as you have as well, with living the life I always hoped to live — a life chosen not by me, but by the ONE LOVE who gave me LIFE — in the most wondrous sense of the word. And infuses LIFE into my everyday life of being of service, knowing my True Self, knowing GOD, following LOVE’s call to love, working for a nonprofit with a team of people as devoted and dedicated as I am — each willing to be and do our part — to be a light in the darkness. Not perfect, simply willing. Not willing 100% of the time, but that is an ego accusation to be noticed and dismissed. Poof!

Don’t be fooled. You have been prepared.

I AM REMEMBERING that I have been prepared and am always being prepared by the One who is the Preparer. What I thought were missed opportunities, poor decisions, wrong turns, have in fact been exactly what was needed to occur for me to “become” who I am, be my Being and do what is mine to do. There are no accidents, only “errors” that LOVE will create something good out of if I am willing to get out of the way. I have never believed that before now, so this is a miracle! A true change in perception from false self-thinking (thinking on my own without LOVE) and believing the ego accuser, now changed to accepting that we are all always being prepared to open more deeply to truth, for truth is our absolute nature that cannot be undone, no matter what.

Harmonious and appearing not so divinely synced events occur, each a potential doorway to LOVE if that is what I truly want! If I want more self-absorption, I can choose that too, but WISDOM will use that too if I step back and let WISDOM lead the way.

I REMEMBER a sick man saying to Jesus of Nazareth, “Master, you can heal me if you are willing.” Jesus responded, “I am willing.” The man was healed. Even Jesus had to practice stepping back and willingness for a miracle to occur.

How else can I possibly love?

Everything is unfolding exactly as planned as I write this, as you read this. The ego is always questioning, doubting, and trying desperately to cause confusion, division, and dismay within, among us, and between us, but such shadows that evoke attack of ourselves and others need our pause and our stepping back else we follow like a dumb mouse chasing a paper ball appearing as if a piece of cheese. Hmm. We will remain hungering for that which we already have in our full possession, what we have all already been given, what is happening NOW! Let’s not let these be just words because we hear, say, and read them all the time.

Pause, Step Back, Reflect, Remember

I AM REMEMBERING a most eternal JOY — not a boisterous, look at me and how “happy” I am pretending to be kind of joy, rather a JOY that is quietly expanding our entire Being. Motion inside of motion, stillness inside of stillness. A JOY that motioned me to be still and share what I have shared here without knowing this is what I would be sharing. This is because it was not shared by me, but through my True Self. I needed a boost, thought others might too. I got one. Hope you did too!

I see the golden leaves blowing on the tree outside my office window and laying contently on the ground, not longing for some unmet need. Nothing is missing. All is well.  … In Remembrance, Mary

In Gratitude I Heal Every Relationship

by Rev. Cathy Silva, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

A prayer for healing relationships inspired by POL Course 903: Gratitude for God’s Gifts:

In gratitude I am whole.

I become aware I am one with God and am One here and now in holy relationship with all my brothers and sisters.

I let gratitude lead me Home…

In gratitude I accept and appreciate all as it is now. All circumstances, all conditions, all beings as they appear. I remember that by myself I don’t know what any of it means so I surrender its meaning and purpose to the Holy Spirit.

I now appreciate, accept and give thanks for all that I have inherited as a Child of God…

The Grace and Gifts given I happily receive and share with all inclusively.

In gratitude I now extend love and appreciation to all equally…

I recognize that all are included in Love in Reality. Sometimes we remember and demonstrate that we indeed remember the Love we share equally with all. We remember that eternal Love is our True Nature.

It is apparent that at times some have forgotten. It also appears that I at times have forgotten. This forgetting thankfully is a temporary condition. For those in this temporary state of forgetting, I have the power God gave me and the choice to remember Love for them until they remember for themselves. Through the gentle, loving guidance of my inner Teacher, we remember together.

In gratitude I now extend Love and appreciation to all equally…

I especially appreciate all for playing their role in our collective awakening. Even if I don’t understand or am tempted to judge; perhaps especially in those times, I release my judgment and need to understand and I simply trust in Spirit totally. I trust in God that all are being called and carried through every seeming difficulty and detour.

In gratitude I accept the Truth that All is One in the Mind of God…

I gratefully see and celebrate the wholeness, innocence and perfection of my brothers and sisters…

We are joined with our Father in Heaven.

In gratitude I heal and am made whole.
