Reconnecting to Our Call

by Rev. Lorraine Merritt, O.M.C.

“Child of God, you were created to create the good, the beautiful and the holy.” (ACIM T-1.VII.2:1)

So what exactly is ‘a teacher of God’? What exactly is ‘our call’ to be a minister of God? What exactly is ‘reconnecting’?

A Course in Miracles tells me: “A teacher of God is anyone who chooses to be one. …. somehow, somewhere he has made a deliberate choice in which he did not see his interests as apart from someone else’s. …The Call is universal. It calls for teachers to speak for It and redeem the world. Many hear It, but few will answer. Yet it is all a matter of time. Everyone will answer in the end, but the end can be a long, long way off. It does not matter who the teacher was before he heard the Call. He has become a savior by his answering.” (M-1.1:1-2;2:4,6-9;3:7-8)

What Does Being a Teacher of God Mean?

by Rev. Linda Wisniewski, O.M.C.

Ever since I got ordained as a minister of Pathways of Light in 2005, I thought of myself as a teacher of God. But I was really focusing on the form and not on the true content.

I thought being a teacher of God meant having students and teaching them about the Course or teaching them about the Pathways of Light Practitioner courses. I thought being a teacher of God meant preparing others to become ministers.

Poem for My Star Child

by Rev. Helene Burke, O.M.C.

Inner child
hiding in the corners of fear,
Please look…
Nobody can hurt you here.

No harsh words
In any way,
Only kindness
And lots of play.
Oh, I see
You peeking out now!

The Power of the Inner Voice

by Rev. Patricia Black, O.M.C.

I was a determined, self-employed successful business woman, who for 25 years was highly driven to prove my self-worth in the world, taking financial business risks, making and losing money. I was steadily building a self-image from having a beautiful home, cars, clothes and expensive holidays. I believed that this would make me feel important and that this was my true identity. I entered into an intimate relationship, thinking that it would enhance my life even further as my partner held an important position in society. So wow! Life couldn’t be any better!

The Gleeful Ego

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

The ego gleefully loves to attack and does so constantly. We don’t notice it much because that is considered normal and expected. Someone told me: “If I don’t attack what someone says to me, I am considered stupid and gullible.” We support the ego in all kinds of ways.

This is what I found for myself: There is a part within me that likes to attack, even though in subtle ways. She gets satisfaction from this. Yet, when I look at this and feel this attack thought, I really, really don’t like the feeling it gives me. If I am not willing to tell myself to let it go, I distract myself quickly and don’t do anything about it. But I do want to change it. And I know I can.

You’re an Angel

by Rev. Christine Anderson, O.M.C.

Mother Teresa….”Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” My Pathways buddy, Rev. Debra Bredican, shared this quote with me.

As a member of Holy Spirit’s Awakening Crew, one of my assignments for several years now has been to sing a song entitled “You’re An Angel” to others, when guided by Holy Spirit. Charley Thweatt sings the song on one of his albums. Charley, along with Oman and Shanti, put words from ACIM to music in the 70’s & 80’s, and you can hear this song and others on YouTube. (Charley’s web address is musicangel.com)

Happy Mother’s Day

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

They say “Happy Mother’s Day” and I smile and say, “Thank you.” I think of my mother and I smile. I feel closer to her now. She has been gone for over 15 years. I have affection and appreciation for her. My mother is myself. My daughters are myself. My grand-children are myself.

What Is Joy?

by Rev. Barbara Goodman Siegel, O.M.C.

“What is joy?” A great question a friend of mine asked at a meeting where we were discussing A Course in Miracles. There were three of us at the table. I gave my definition which was that joy is being in peaceful happiness. The third woman gave her definition which was that joy was being in the present moment.

Neither answer resonated with my friend. She felt it should be more, greater than just happiness. After the meeting, the question kept rolling around in my head.

Book Review — Live Your Happy

Colleen Fee

Holy Spirit, I ask for your help and inspiration as I put into words how much I appreciate this wonderfully written book by Rev. Maria Felipe, Live Your Happy.
As a fairly new student of A Course in Miracles and support person for Pathways of Light, this book has made a perfectly timed (by Holy Spirit) and significant tool for my studies of the Course.

Why Allowing = Taking Action

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

Do you have a problem that you think about all the time? As soon as you wake up and while brushing your teeth, driving to work, having lunch and dinner, and finally lying awake in bed when you should be sleeping?

Rather than coming up with a solution, all you’re doing is reviewing the same worries over and over:

The Goal of the Owls

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

One of the great blessings in my life has been to be a coach of the Lynbrook Owls varsity lacrosse team. I now serve as a volunteer assistant coach on a lacrosse program with which I have been involved for 45 consecutive years. In 2008 I turned over the head coaching duties to my friend and colleague who had been my assistant for many years.
I certainly have a great deal of experience coaching high school boys in several sports since 1972. My role, however, has radically changed. It is simple but significant. I help the players and coaches to focus on the Shakti.

The Need to Know

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

I find that my mind really has a hard time letting go of the need to know answers.  My mind prefers to have a step-by-step playbook for how things should be moving forward and it experiences suffering when I don’t have one to follow.

I am at the stage in my awareness where I fundamentally understand the “idea” that I Am Spirit, that I have a mind but I am not the mind, but I still get pretty easily pulled back into identification with my mind.

What Am I?

by Rev. Maura Williams, O.M.C.

When I first started studying the Course, it turned my world up side down. I thought I knew exactly who I was and where I was going. I wasn’t very happy, but I wasn’t extremely unhappy. As I looked out at the world I knew, I figured experiencing ups and downs was just a part of our ever changing world. I could assure myself that not one person here is really happy. Our states of being seem to go up and down with the stock market, the weather or any other circumstance. This is the world of form.
