Problems

by Rev. Veronika Wilcox, O.M.C.

I woke at midnight and couldn’t go back to sleep. Some problem weighed on me. I got up to try to solve it by sending an e-mail inquiry off. I then wrote down all that bothered me, turning it over to the Holy Spirit. It came to me to read the lesson of the day from ACIM, number 79, “Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved.” I read every word slowly and carefully, taking in the reminder that the only problem was that I believed that I was separated from my Creator. Well, I nodded my head like a good student, but at the moment I couldn’t quite agree with it. Back to my writing again with questions to the Holy Spirit. When I was done, the only answer I received was to go back to sleep and leave all my concerns to Him.

I went back to bed, but sleep was as far from me as the East is from the West. Then it came to me to listen to one of my favorite tracks from the POL course 905: Special Relationships vs. Holy Relationships. I put the CD on, lay back and listened. Soon the image of me trying to pull a heavy bag uphill arose. I could hardly manage because the bag seemed to have a will of its own, for it felt as if it was trying to pull me downhill. If I was to let go, it would go out of my sight and be gone. I couldn’t do that! This bag full of problems was very important to me. It seemed like I was hypnotized by it.

Well, I reached the bench in the shade, as described by the voice in the meditation. When I sat down, I had to tie the bag down at the bench because its energy was so great. I sighed and invited the Holy Spirit into my mind. I was truly willing to be helped to let go of that bag. I knew that was all I needed to do. I didn’t even have to look inside to see all the nothingness I call my problems. As I started to feel the peace of the presence of the Holy Spirit in me, I just untied the bag and it slid out of sight immediately. I was free. It was that simple.

I felt so light. It was wonderful. I went back to sleep and when I woke, I still felt that same lightness and the clear realization that I was indeed the maker of all my problems and yes, Jesus was right, the answer to all my perceived problems was already given, namely that I was never separated from the Holy Spirit, which is the Voice of God in me. Amen.

Choosing the Way to Heaven

by Rev. Hazel Allen, O.M.C.

Holy Spirit take the wheel.
I am on my own when
I try to do Your work,
I fired myself and hired you.
Now I can acheive anything
I need to do,
and that my dear Creator,
is doing Your work.
I feel at peace today,
because that is what You have given me.

Letting Holy Spirit Solve All ‘Problems’

by Revs. Robert & Mary Stoelting

Mary: Our lessons continue to be centered around the theme of stepping back with everything and letting Holy Spirit take charge of our thoughts regarding every situation we encounter.

When we forget and think we know how to decide on our own, peace disappears and so again we attract another lesson to ‘choose once again.’ 

In Lesson 151 we are reminded, “How can you judge? Your judgment rests upon the witness that your senses offer you. Yet witness never falser was than this. But how else do you judge the world you see? You place pathetic faith in what your eyes and ears report. You think your fingers touch reality, and close upon the truth. This is awareness that you understand, and think more real than what is witnessed to by the eternal Voice for God Himself.” (W-pI.151.3)

Reinforcing this reminder gives us the opportunity to step back into a place of quiet and let our minds be purified of the false ideas we have brought from the past. We are reminded that we don’t know how to judge. We are reminded once again to forgive or let go of all we thought we knew about anything in the world.

To help us awaken to the truth we are told, “Give Him your thoughts, and He will give them back as miracles which joyously proclaim the wholeness and the happiness God wills His Son, as proof of His eternal Love. And as each thought is thus transformed, it takes on healing power from the Mind Which saw the truth in it, and failed to be deceived by what was falsely added.” (14:1-2)

So we are learning that our real job is to observe what we are thinking and hand these thoughts over to let Holy Spirit be the judge. We are to be as little children. We are not the authority, for on our own we really know nothing. With Holy Spirit as the judge, we see innocence instead of guilt. We are lifted up past time to the eternal truth that we all are still pure Love and we cannot leave God’s oneness.

As we continue our practice of pausing and letting Holy Spirit be the judge, we see the many blessings that are returned to us and we feel grateful. “As we give thanks, the world unites with us and happily accepts our holy thoughts, which Heaven has corrected and made pure. Now has our ministry begun at last, to carry round the world the joyous news that truth has no illusions, and the peace of God, through us, belongs to everyone.” (17:2-3)

Letting Holy Spirit be the judge provides us all the answers to everything we need, today and every day.

In Quietness Is Every Problem Quietly Resolved

Robert: While I was setting up a page on the Pathways of Light website recently, I had a happy lesson in the value of letting Holy Spirit lead the way. I wanted to align two elements on the page. I had tried a couple of times, but they didn’t work. My focus had been to get one part to move in relation to the part above it.

I’ve been practicing being mindful of when I start efforting — trying to make something work. I realized that I had fallen back into that old pattern, so I sat back, took a deep breath and expressed a willingness to follow. The thought came to set it aside for the moment. It would fall into place later. A few minutes later a thought came into my mind how I could adjust the upper part. I tried it and bingo, perfect alignment!

I believe that the Holy Spirit will guide us in even these little worldly details because He sees every circumstance as a teaching opportunity. As I efforted to try to make it work, I was not at peace. By stepping back, taking a breath and letting peace return to my mind, I received a great demonstration that, “In quietness are all things answered, and is every problem quietly resolved.” (T-27.IV.1:1)

Revs. Robert and Mary Stoelting are co-founders of Pathways of Light. They reside in Sanford, Florida.

Excerpt from New Book “I Am Love”

by Paul West and Holy Spirit

Note from Robert & Mary: Once in a while we come across a book that just knocks our socks off. This is one of those books. We included an excerpt here to give you a taste of the beautiful message contained within its pages. At the end we have included the link to the website where you can get the book for yourself.

I am Immortal Spirit

I am not a mortal body ready to die. I am Immortal Spirit. I am eternal life. I cannot end and I have not died. I am always alive and always will be.

I have never really experienced death because death is impossible. Bodies have come and gone and changed and transformed and I have been here all along. I am deathless and ageless and tireless. I have no decay in my being and no loss of life. I haven’t sinned and I am not guilty. I am innocent immortal Spirit forever.

Death is not real. Ends are just transformations, images of ends pretending to occur. Ends cannot happen because there cannot be an end to life. Life is eternal. Life in bodies, as bodies, is not life. Bodies and worlds are illusions of life. The physical universe and all other subtle universes are but shadows of living. True life is with God in divine perfection. I am divine perfection living with God in the divinity of His peace.

I cannot die. I have not been born. I have always existed and always will. Nothing can harm me or come between me and another. Nothing can stop me from being what I am. I am living an existence in God. I am unscathed by illusions of time or bodies of death. I am unchanged and unaltered by anything that seems to occur. It is not real, these illusions are not my reality. I am an example of immortality and I am eternal life.

Ends are pretend and continuation is real. Even in illusions there can be no real ends. Only transitions can come and go. Only changes can start and finish. Illusions change into other illusions, around and around, and none of it matters. Images of bodies may have died a trillion lifetimes and still I am wholly alive. I may have dashed myself against imaginary rocks but never did I stop my Spirit. I have transcended and traversed many illusions and yet I am at home in God. I will always be with God and will always be alive as His creation.

The illusion of the death of a body is but a projection of death away from the present. Life as a body is already death and is not real. Distance from God is the illusion of death and seems to occur every minute, every day. Every second, the body embodies the illusion of death. Every change, growth, regeneration and offspring marks an end and new beginning. Every moment represents a shift from what was to something new. Bodies and worlds are never alive and are always changing. This is not life and this is no way to live. I can live with God in eternal happiness and I allow God’s life to nourish me.

I am not change, I am constant. I am not transforming, I am already myself. I am not growing, I am permanent. I am not altered, I am as I have been. I am not dead, I am alive. I am not a body. I am love. I am not adjusting, I am as God created me. I am not murdered, I am immortal.

I cannot die because I am immortal reality. I cannot end because I have no beginning. I cannot stop being who I already am. I cannot prevent myself from being real. I cannot stop God from loving me. I cannot bring an end to God’s life. I cannot take away life from myself or another. I cannot change from who I am. I am the living reality of eternal life. I am truly real and truly alive. God is life and God is present. God cannot die or suffer. God is eternal life and I am eternal life with Him. I will always be eternally alive because I am the immortal Son of God.

I join with you Holy Spirit in remembering myself. I join with you and allow you to remind me of living. I join with you and allow your presence in my mind, recognizing you were already here. Please take over my thoughts of death and ideas of unreality. Please work through me to correct my mind and help me to recall my divinity. Clear my illusions and clear my dreams. Focus me on what is real. Open my heart to receive God’s love and shine your love for others through me.

I am alive! I am immortal! I am eternally living and perfectly whole. Not a mark nor a tarnish nor a decay has ever touched me. I am completely flexible and fresh and new. I am loose and relaxed and joyous and playful. I am youth itself, replenished and refreshed. I am timeless and ageless and sinless and deathless. I am filled with the vitality of my Creator. I cheer at the immediate presence of life flowing through me, in me and around me, and everywhere I am. I am Immortal Spirit, death is not real and I will always be God’s creation.
