As a passenger on a seven hour drive, I had a chance to be still and go within. All of a sudden I noticed a lot of sadness coming up. “What is this about?” I asked Holy Spirit. It was as if a lifetime of unfulfilled dreams and fantasies were being projected on a screen right before me.
In my younger years, I considered myself a “romantic” and my fantasy was to find the perfect man who would fulfill my every need. I have been married twice and each partner could not be described as the “romantic” type. My latest partner is teaching me that I don’t need him to fulfill my needs and expectations. I need to learn to trust in my Self.

We recently experienced a weekend here at Pathways of Light called, Weekend with Holy Spirit.
As a group we made the commitment to give time to quieting our minds and listening to the Holy Spirit. We started the weekend focusing on a message from A Course in Miracles: “The Holy Spirit will, of Himself, fill every mind that so makes room for Him.” (T-14.XI.13:6)

God is a far-fetched idea to many; too hard of a concept to grasp – invisible, intangible. Because humans cannot often image God, we fail to be in a relationship with God. This is why depending on our self-made images is a tool the ego uses to maintain separation.
Christ is the true “nature” of God, the essence of God available to us all. Jesus played this out here on earth. He became an image of God by shattering all of our images. By overcoming the illusion of death he overcame the illusion of life on this earth. He resurrected our perception of God from one Who satisfies our earthly desires, judges and condemns, to one who simply loves by seeing the Innocence within.

On my personal journey, in my own way, I asked Spirit to guide me to the next level of my spiritual awakening — to the next level of my spiritual awareness of remembering Who I am. In my asking, I had envisioned my own particular fantasies of how this spiritual journey would be and appear in this physical world of form.
For some reason, I thought I would either be touched by the “hand of God” or “Spirit would whisper in my ear” clearly leading me directly to the next level and fulfilling what I perceived to be in my best interest. In the back of my mind, when I was being honest with myself, I knew I was indicating to Spirit how this spiritual journey ought to unfold.

It is true; circumstances continue to present themselves for further healing of my mind! When I trust that, I have had wonderful connections and experiences… Guess what! More comes! It is infinite, the power to grow and heal!
When I had a student approaching ordination, I felt a pull to join with her… however, the entire teleconference experience was not something I could fully embrace. I found myself finding many reasons to not include myself in the weekends it entailed. After all, Mother’s Day weekend (my favorite holiday), then again Memorial Day weekend? Six hours on the phone, two days in a row? The resistance was there, I felt it strong. How could this experience hold a candle to the Pathways/ Kiel experience?

There is nobody out there. In the past few days I have had lots of company. A Course in Miracles students and just regular ole friends. This is what I learned.
Listening, if I am hearing someone using a parable of healing, meaning a great healing story of their life, I am not to listen to “them,” I am to listen to my mind.

This morning I was trying to write something that I felt had a time line of NOW. It just wasn’t flowing; there were places that snagged. How about this, that, what will “they” think? I asked for feedback from a friend. Oh thanks a lot… More chatter.
I went outside to get centered with my Qigong practice. With thoughts still coming, a piece of heavy equipment starts up next door. Grrrr. It stops. Ah, peace. Then a chain saw. Oh, it’s only a chain saw now. This is less degree of noise?

On a warm Saturday evening in April of 2006, something inspired me to ask my husband’s niece Carrie and her fiancé Dell, if I could perform their marriage ceremony in June 2007. They agreed. It was to be a simple outdoor June wedding, held in the beautiful garden of her Grandmother.
On the same night, an Internet search brought “to light” the means by which I could achieve this new goal. It was a Spiritual College and retreat center called “Pathways of Light” in Kiel Wisconsin. The web site itself offered a delicious smorgasbord of spiritual courses and programs of study, including opportunities to progress spiritually through correspondence facilitated by a Pathways of Light Minister.

During this last week, I was experiencing some deep emotion that I identified as guilt and grief. As I experienced this I wondered how I could ever resolve this conflict. At the time it seemed that there was no resolution. I experienced a shift when I realized that I can choose peace.
It really struck me when I read the words, “We can seek the peace of God.” (POL Course 901, p.37) It was like a bolt of lightning hit me. Of course, “I can choose peace.” I have come more and more to realize the importance of what I choose in my work as a Miracles Practitioner. Jesus tells me, “As you decide so will you see.” T-12.VII 11:8

I recently gave myself the gift of going to a Holy Spirit weekend at Pathways of Light. It was truly a wonderful experience and very peaceful. I really felt my Oneness with Holy Spirit and with all who attended. My true purpose in life, which is to help others heal, became very clear to me during that weekend. The following is what came to me as we quieted our mind and listened.
I rest in God means peace has at last come to this quiet mind.

Spring and early summer are a beautiful time of renewal. A time when nature itself discards its drab for riots of color and produces a dazzling display of freshness and beauty. Seeing this transformation in nature encourages me to clean up, fix up, paint up my own surroundings.
Rummaging through the gross accumulation of my past I begin to discard all those things that seem to clutter my living space. This seems to be an attempt to bring some order to my surroundings and get rid of what’s unnecessary and cumbersome.
