One very important lesson that comes up for us in many different ways is to reinforce the habit of going to peace first before deciding anything. This includes interpreting any event or experience. Going to peace first is how we resign as your own interpreter and invite the true Interpreter into our awareness. When we remember to go to peace first, we allow ourselves to be carried. It is the arrogance of the ego that insists it knows what anything means or how to think about or decide what to do about anything in the world.

I experienced a genuine miracle, a miracle in every sense. Here is how it came about.
I’ve been practicing full surrender, becoming the empty shell. I am letting go of the self so that I can know Self. It’s a full time job requiring constant vigilance. A Course in Miracles begins by teaching me that my thoughts do not mean anything, and are showing me a meaningless world. It helps me to understand that there is another way to see, and that I can have that experience if I will allow the Holy Spirit to correct my thoughts and heal my mind.

Dear Light,
I know that You will transform me
For that is what You do.
Yet I find that I’d like to stay
Where I find myself —
Namely in a box

“Where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am.” In the last issue of Miracles News we wrote about the power of ‘joining’ and how ACIM study groups were one of the great vehicles for many people in the Course in Miracles community to facilitate the deep connections with other students that can quicken our awakening process.
This month we are pleased to announce the launch of the Pathways of Light ACIM Study Group Program. This new program serves multiple purposes, including providing a program for ministers who want to start ACIM study groups but would like some support and guidance. For students of ACIM who want to join a study group, the program will provide access to a comprehensive database of both in-person and phone study groups facilitated by ordained Pathways ministers.

We don’t go Home alone.
We heal together as we join with
our brother for the purpose of healing.
The more we practice opening up to
the Holy Spirit joined with our brother,
the stronger our connection becomes.

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.

“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?

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.

This was given to me in a very powerful dream early this morning. If He says it to me, He’s saying it to you. Let’s all find this place. I have been there today. There is no place in the illusion that compares.
I take you to the place of Light. I bring you here because this place has been abandoned and neglected for a very long time.

One of the biggest mistakes we make as humans is to give away our power. We claim someone or something else is to blame for our problems. I refuse to buy into this idea that I am a victim. The definition of victim I am primarily speaking of is: One who is made to suffer from the act of another. Only I can make myself suffer. Pain may be inevitable, (though I’m not convinced of that), but suffering is definitely optional, for suffering of any sort occurs only in the mind of the sufferer, a mind to which nothing is done but by itself.

I opened to Holy Spirit when I woke: Holy Spirit, I feel so hopeless; discouraged; alone. I want to start over. I want to stop thinking that I know anything. Where do I begin?

Lord, help me to embrace
the moments of my life that are
hard to get my arms around.
Enable my eyes to see
You in each moment.
Help me to acknowledge the
abundance of Your goodness in me.

In Chapter 24 of A Course in Miracles, the first two sentences in paragraph two of the Introduction read, “To learn this course requires willingness to question every value you hold. Not one can be kept hidden…” When I first read this eight years ago, I thought, “This seems simple. I should probably ace this course in no time at all!” What I didn’t realize was that I was using ego to interpret the directions.
