How Does True Healing Occur?

by Rev. Rosemarie Tropf, O.M.C.

Rev. Rosemarie TropfIs it possible to achieve healing from God when this illness has gone on for so long? This is the question we discussed as a group recently at our monthly call for the Chronically Ill Support Group. It was my turn to answer that question. Here is what I answered:

ACIM Lesson 136 says healing is of the mind, not the body. I can remember as an eight year old faking pain to stay home from Sunday School. It worked until about 30 minutes after I said it. Then I was jumping around on the bed with my sisters and my mum said, “You aren’t sick. Get dressed Missy, off to church with you.” I crumpled onto the bed and tried to insist that I was sick. “Please believe me,” I said. That is making use of the mind to create a sick body.

Rev. Linda WisniewskiThe Chronic and Critical Illness Support Group that meets on a monthly basis has started addressing some of the questions that come to the group. Each participant in these meetings volunteers to address one of the questions and then everyone else in the group adds their comments.

We invite everyone to join in our monthly meetings and share in these discussions. We meet the first Sunday of every month at 11:30 a.m. CT.

The following is a discussion we had on the following question which I volunteered to address, followed by group discussion.

When someone dies from a certain illness, does that mean they were not healed?

Peace

by Rev. Maria Kingsley, O.M.C.

Rev. Maria KingsleyI use Peace to center me
I feel peace as Me
I return to Peace and all is well.
What a wonderful feeling Peace truly is.

I think Peace and it shifts
From confusion to clarity
My heart beats but I don’t really feel it.
My heart is no longer an organ but Peace
It is not even at peace but just Peace.

Today I Learn to Give as I Receive — L 158

by Rev. Myron Jones, O.M.C.

Rev. Myron Jones“We but undertake a journey that is over. Yet it seems to have a future still unknown to us.” (3:6)

Jesus finally explains why it is that our salvation is guaranteed. It has already happened. We are at the end of time, watching and reviewing what has gone before. We are fully awake, enlightened. We are the Christ, the Buddha, and every other enlightened being that has ever lived or will ever live. We are in God as we always have been. We are not living this dream story. We are watching it.

Fear, Doubt and Trust, Forgetting Then Remembering

by Maura Williams

by Maura WilliamsI’m a minister in training through Pathways of Light. Rev. John Vise is my facilitator, which means he is walking with me through the course curriculum. It has been an awesome journey for me. Since February, we have been meeting almost every week to do this work.  Now, I’m going to back up a week and tell you I had a dream that was very meaningful to me. I had a similar dream right after I started my ministerial training and I felt it was given to me to show me I was on the right track.

I started out doing this work because I realized I had told God “no” pretty much my whole life. I believed in God, but I always put conditions on Him. I was always afraid to completely give myself to Him. This was my way of saying, “Yes! I’ll do whatever you want me to do.” And this dream felt like a continuation of my saying, “Yes.”

A Chicken Body or a Human Body, It’s All the Same Oneness!

by Rev. Andrea Sassa Archuleta, O.M.C.

Rev. Andrea Sassa ArchuletaLesson 94
I am as God created me.

Today we continue with the one idea which brings complete salvation; the one statement which makes all forms of temptation powerless; the one thought which renders the ego silent and entirely undone. (W-pI.94.1:1)
You are as God created you.

The sounds of this world are still, the sights of this world disappear, and all the thoughts that this world ever held are wiped away forever by this one idea. Here is salvation accomplished. Here is sanity restored. (W-pI.94.1:3-4)

If you have been following my writings in Miracles News, you know I live in the foothills of Santa Fe, New Mexico. My husband and I tend a small farm which includes five beautiful chickens. In mid-May, one of our chickens suddenly became ill and within a day her body stopped functioning and died. We were quite sad, having grown very fond of all of the “girls” and their cackling. We were also very confused by her sudden death and concerned about the rest of the flock.

When Guilt Comes Up…

by Rev. Susan Comello, O.M.C.

Rev. Susan ComelloFor months, I tried to write the comprehensive article on guilt. I had a mountain and an ocean of guilt come up. When I tried to write about it, I kept feeling overwhelmed and could not finish it without resulting in jibberish and more guilt and confusion.

No wonder. I was trying to explain an insane thought system. I was using ego to try to make sense of things. Because I took on the premise that what I was experiencing was in any way possible or plausible, I kept wallowing in the quagmire of trying to make sense of what is not real.

Here is another attempt to write about it all. I was raised with guilt as my guide. I was told I would go to hell because I thought I was beautiful. So to be guilty was actually useful because it might keep me from going to hell when I die. (For much of my life, little did I know that guilt itself IS hell.)

Trusting My Own Experience

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

Rev. Larry GlenzThere are still some ACIM concepts to which I have resistance. Lesson 128 was my Workbook lesson of the day: The world I see holds nothing that I want. I would be embarrassed to tell any of my non-Course friends about this lesson. I feel like they would say, “Who would want to devote themselves to such a depressing concept?”

I have studied the Workbook many times over the last 20 years using different methods. This year I decided to do it with James Twyman and his Chorus of Miracles.

The One About Perception

by Rev. Stephan Mead, O.M.C.

Rev. Stephan MeadLast week, Nancy and I travelled across the country, Seattle to New York, to attend my nephew’s wedding. Nancy had never been to New York, and was excited about the trip. So was I. Several months ago we received the invitation, and from then on my “projector” was working at warp speed.

“Projection makes perception. The world you see is what you gave it, nothing more than that. But though it is no more than that, it is not less.” (T21.I.1-3)  About a year previous, I won a raffle, the prize being two Alaska Airline tickets to wherever they flew so all we needed was money for the hotel. (Thank you, Nancy!) We had many talks in the weeks before our trip, how fabulous it would be wandering the different sections of Manhattan, spending time at central park, riding the subways, and many more typical tourist activities. I was “projecting” good times only!

The Great Whisperer in Your Heart

by Rev. Michelle Rado, O.M.C.

Rev. Michelle RadoBelow despair there is a place untouched by human hands. This is the place where the voice for God lives within us and waits patiently for us to hear Its whisper.

A beacon of Love – this whisperer within us is constant, strong, unshakable, and eternal.  We do not hear it with our ears, but we feel it in our hearts.

While we often feel the whispers, we don’t always listen. We have been taught not to trust our inner knowing but rather that we should plot each step of our lives carefully and then resist any change that would challenge our well-laid plans as if we are here by ourselves doing this completely alone.

Releasing Resistance to Discover Peace

by Rev. Michael Graves, O.M.C.

Rev. Michael GravesDuring a recent Sunday ACIM teleconference study group (which I highly recommend) we were reading and discussing one of the lessons in the Workbook. As we read, we began sharing on a variety of different topics. You just never know what direction Holy Spirit will take a group of like-minded people. I think that is what I like most about these teleconference sessions. It is sort of like a weekly spiritual adventure.

As the session progressed, one of the participants asked a great question about the best way to access Spirit. Or as they put it, what are the “mechanics” of calling on Spirit when we need help. That question generated a lot of great shares and experiences on the subject. Then someone shared about how they had been “stripped” of almost all of their worldly sources of security and support they had relied on over the last thirty years. This lead to losing most of their material possessions and landed them in the home of a relative.

I Am Happy to Remember the Truth

by Rev. Peggy Rivera, O.M.C.

Rev. Peggy RiveraToday I feel so happy because I realize that no matter how often I get distracted and focus on things of this world, God is always waiting with loving arms for me to find my way back.

Recently I was ill and I decided to have a surgical procedure to relieve the symptoms I was experiencing. I prayed a lot about it because I was feeling fearful and was in a lot of pain. In my mind I tried to analyze why I had these particular symptoms and, in my haste, the ego gave me plenty of information.

I asked Holy Spirit for guidance and I talked it over with my mind healing partner. I believe when we ask we receive and we have to listen for whatever form that help comes from and make sure it is Holy Spirit and not our own ego thoughts.

At a Crossroad

by Rev. Kimberly Beck Visingarki, O.M.C.

Rev. Kimberly Beck VisingardiHave you ever stood at a crossroad in your life wondering, “How did I get here? What direction should I take?”

Sometimes the fork in the road is symbolic of taking the proverbial leap of faith and moving into a direction that looks like moving into the unknown.

There are research and studies that show over the course of our life we change our career a minimum of five times after we join the workforce. Sometimes those changes are a natural progression of changes from moving up the corporate ladder or longevity and experience leads to moving into leadership positions with more responsibility and higher income. While other times the change is moving into a completely new field.

A Prayer for All Solutions

by Rev. Joe Wolfe, O.M.C.

Rev. Joe WolfeDear God, I love You! You created me. I live in You and You in Me.

Only my own limited, unconscious guilt and belief in this ego, this false personality’s individual identity keeps me confused.
Thank You for everything You give me!

Grant me the power to live in your Presence, and to accept Your unconditional Love as I learn to forgive. Call me to remember that You are with me always, with every breath I take, in every movement, in all thoughts, actions and feelings.
