Sunday Morning — ACIM Study Group by Phone

Pathways of Light Staff and Ministers

A Course in Miracles students from coast to coast gather by phone to read the Course, share and be inspired.

How to participate: Call 1-218-339-2699 (standard long distance charges apply). At the prompt, enter the access code, 293760# and follow the next prompts. Try to arrive before the start time of 11 a.m. eastern, 10 a.m. central, 8 a.m. pacific time. Session is 1 hour.

“Where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am.”

All are welcome, whether you are new to A Course in Miracles or a long-time student.

Drop in any Sunday for fellowship, communion and mind healing. All you have to do is pick up the phone and call in.

Many simply listen, but all are welcome to share. It is a powerful experience as the Holy Spirit’s inspiration is expressed through many in the group.

Most cell phones have free long distance on weekends so it costs you nothing… not even gas! Many Pathways of Light ministers participate every week. It’s a great way to connect, giving and receiving the miracle of forgiveness.

Undoing Old Beliefs

by Rev. Gail Hamley, O.M.C.

When I started Lesson 1 of A Course in Miracles back in 1995, I became afraid. After all, it says “Nothing I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] means anything. After reading it, I sat quietly. I knew that if I pursued this line of study my entire life would change. I sensed this Truth and it frightened me because I did not know how or in what way it would change… but, it would.

Just as I was sitting there contemplating all of this, my phone rang. It was my friend who had attended our first ACIM group with me. She was experiencing the same thing I was. We talked awhile and somehow I knew I was going to continue.

My life up to this point was difficult. I was recently divorced, raising two children as a single parent. Was there any reason not to move into some other reality? I decided to continue. My friend did not. After a time, our friendship faded. Our paths became dramatically different.

I started to look at everything differently. I looked at thoughts as just thoughts and to see that everything in my world was the result of training and beliefs. The beginning lessons in A Course in Miracles were undoing this training and I felt a sense of renewal and expansion (after releasing my initial fear — which came incidentally once I made the decision to continue).

Now in 2011, I am in awe of these powerful lessons, which I still practice each and every day. Today my lesson might be “Nothing in this situation means anything.” or “Everyone I see is an expression of Divine Consciousness, which is Love.” The underlying lesson is that I am undoing old beliefs and thoughts and renewing with Truth. It is humbling and it is beautiful.

Letting God In

Rev. Gary W. Ledson, O.M.C.

“What is the cost of healing when even the wealthiest cannot buy it? Willingness to let God in. The gates of Heaven are within. Will you let God in?” (The Mentor Within by Mary Gerard)

Will you let God rise up in you? Will you let Him come through you? Will you step aside and allow God to come forth? Will you let go of your beliefs and thoughts and interpretations and judgments and allow God, His Presence, His Love to flow out of you, covering and penetrating what you see and hear and feel? Are you willing to remember and join with What you really are? Will you allow yourself to be your Self? …to remember you are God remembering God …that you are God Being God …that you are Love loving …that you are forgiveness, forgiving?

You are the Presence and Essence of Love eternal. You are the I AM, That One, the Savior, the Son, the One. You are the Oneness of WHAT IS.

Will you let God in? Will you allow Him to enter? And what if He is already there in your house, has always been in your house, in every room? And what if it was you who left, who walked away to make your own home, in your own body, in your own world, in your own cosmos? What if it was you who turned your back on your Source, your Creator, your Home, your True Self, and went forward to make a ‘better’ source, a ‘better’ creator, a ‘better’ you, a ‘better’ home?

What if you came to find out in your search and building a ‘better’ heaven that you had made a mistake? What if you came to find out that what you had made by yourself, separately, to replace your Real Home, would within the space of a few years die and crumble into dust? What if you came to find out that you came here to realize that you had misled yourself, that you had made a goof, that Who you really are was not out there but inside yourself all along? What if you came to find out that Who you really are, the Presence of Love, would never die, never crumble, never go away but live eternally?

Will you allow God to be known in You? Will you allow God to be trusted, to be humbly surrendered to, to be loved? Will you allow yourself to be aware that you are Love Itself?

Will you let God in?

Accepting God’s Perfect Plan

by Rev. Larry Glenz, O.M.C.

Do I accept that God has a perfect plan for me — just waiting for my consent? 

I have been a Pathways minister for more than three years and I have been taking the Miracles Practitioner courses ever since my ordination. These courses seem to strengthen me at the most difficult of times. These Pathways courses have kept me focused on turning to the Source of all strength for guidance.

There have been many changes and dramatic events in the last few years. These events have not always been that easy to accept as part of God’s perfect plan for me. Losing my 27 year old son, Kevin, to a heroin overdose last year has been the most challenging. The Holy Spirit never told me that my son would recover during his seven years of addiction, recovery, and relapse. He did, however, tell me that I would be given the strength to handle whatever came my way. 

Can I accept and receive Heaven’s messages concerning the loss of Kevin?  Can I recognize that there truly is no death and that only the love is real in this dream of the world?  Is my being a Pathways of Light minister all part of God’s perfect plan? 

I admit that I do not understand God’s perfect plan for me — only that He has one and is waiting for my consent. I am continuing to learn to trust God’s plan and not my own. Accepting God’s plan is what time is for. 

I am grateful for the trust that I have developed in accepting that God’s plan works and mine does not. Forgiveness is the tool He has given me so I can learn to feel an inner strength as my guilt and its projection dissipate. It brings me an awareness of the union and safety. 

All of us are part of the one Self together — no exceptions! I want to accept God’s perfect plan for me without attaching to the outcome. It is that kind of trust I want to develop — so I keep practicing turning to Holy Spirit. And I am so grateful for all the love that I have been able to experience and share with others at this time.

I recognize that the principles of ACIM can best be taught by demonstration. I want to demonstrate that I can accept all the love from my 27 years with Kevin and let go of the rest. Feeling the love from Kevin has allowed me to handle his loss with strength. I have been able to receive the love of so many others because I am open to God’s perfect plan. Through Holy Spirit’s guidance, I am hoping that our story — Kevin’s and mine — serves to help others. That would be a great way to honor Kevin but I’ll turn that over to a Higher Power.
