Giving Thanks for Miracles

by Rev. Barbara Kraetsch, O.M.C.

When I let go of the past, I can come to forgiveness now. How often the past wants to assert itself. Here comes the memory of our failure to be open and giving. Here comes the memory of our quiet resentment or anxiety. Here comes the memory of our judgment against our brother, maybe it was unspoken verbally, but it was there in our attitude and actions. We distanced ourselves from others.

From Fear to Faith and Love

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

During the month of October and into the first weeks of November, I noticed I have been gripped by more fear than usual. It’s not surprising when I realized I had been watching more TV than usual and listening more to National Public Radio, ego’s boom boxes for gloom and doom. News about the flu vaccine shortage, the war in Iraq, cancer scares, ads for new drugs that would first promise cures and then kill you from the side effects, and electioneering all flooded my mind.

Freedom

by Rev. Erin Whitney Lawson

True freedom is the “Freedom of eternal Truth” and as we all know, God is the Author of Truth. God created us in His image and likeness. He created us in His Reality with His Divine attributes. We, as His children in Truth, are blessed with His attributes, one of which is unlimited freedom. To know and experience our freedom in Truth, we must first realize and accept the Truth of God as our existence now. Once we have accepted the undeniable Truth, we then devote ourselves to living in a way that honors Its expression in all that we think, say and do. This is the way of Christ.

The Bottom Line

by Rev. Mary Manke, O.M.C.

These thoughts came to me after reviewing the daily lesson of “I seek a future different from the past.”

The bottom line is that in my insanity I’m trying to make separation real. This endeavor puts my mind in conflict, trying to use two opposing belief systems. There is only one Will, and my true will is in accord with the Will of Love. In my insanity I think that my will can be different then God’s Will. I mistake my insane thoughts for truth. I think that separation happened, so I am condemned by a vengeful god. The insane mind scrambles to try and keep itself intact. It tries to direct every thought, belief, and action; it grasps tightly to its dream images.

An Orientation

by Rev. Phil Manke, O.M.C.

It is a wonderful time to be! A wonderful day for wonderful relationship with All That Is!

The deer hunters have gone for the day. The solar projects have been put on hold for the day. The worn car does not need to function for today. The kitties are playing in the sun in the yard. A perfect reflection of joy in life. A simple choice.

Sin and Judgment

by Rev. James Ramelis, O.M.C.

Acting on an inspiration that I assume came from a divine Source, I have been reviewing the Workbook lessons in Part II of A Course in Miracles. I have really been savoring them and they are opening new dimensions of understanding for me. Lesson 259 — “Let me remember that there is no sin”— brought a major revelation and spiritual breakthrough. I stayed on the lesson for a few days and had tremendous feelings of relief knowing that all of my phony petty “sins” amounted to nothing at all and how we really do imagine them as keeping us from God.

Seeking and Finding

by Louis Bourgeois

Understanding spiritual truth within the context of the illusion requires that we embrace a paradox. In the world of form, seeking and finding are directly linked by our actions. For instance, if I feel hunger and I seek out food to satisfy this hunger, my seeking will yield a surcease to my hunger. Temporarily, at least, I feel satisfied. I am no longer hungry.

Ocean of Love

by Rev. Petra Sundheim, O.M.C.

E- motion, energy in motion

Is like the ocean

Unruly, untamed, fearful to behold.

To impress, I stress

And push down my feelings untold

What a mess!

Hijacked!

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

I had been so excited for a couple of weeks as I anticipated a wonderful week at Pathways. I was co-facilitating 920: Being a Miracle Worker with Rev. Barbara Kraetsch.

I was so pleased to be working with Barbara and was looking forward to seeing some old friends and making some new ones. It took some doing to get my work schedule arranged so that I could take off some time for this, especially since I was taking off a couple of extra days. I didn’t really need those extra days, but I really wanted them. I love being at Pathways, and always come back renewed and ready to tackle anything.

Surrounded by Love

by Rev. Deb Frantz, O.M.C.

As I write this, I am working on Workbook Lesson 264: “I am surrounded by the love of God.” What does this mean to be surrounded? For me, as it is still early in the morning, I think of warm, snuggly covers and the feeling it inspires. It is a feeling of warmth, a feeling of security, a feeling that I am comfortable where I am in the moment. That is the same with the Love of God.

Healing Is Coming Home to God

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

Over the 4th of July, I attended a six day course at Pathways of Light titled, 905: Holy Relationships vs. Special Relationships. One of the issues I have been working with has been the special relationship I have created with my body. For most of my life, I have been identified with my body through sickness and pain. I am learning through the Course that, “The body is the ego’s home by its own election. It is the only identification with which the ego feels safe since the body’s vulnerability is its own best argument that you cannot be of God.” (T-4.V.4:1-2)

Ode to Holy Spirit

by Rev. Barbara Kraetsch, O.M.C.

I rely on You, Holy Spirit. You are my strength and my Light. I totally trust in You. I see the illusion but I do not trust it. I trust only in You to be my guiding strength. You lead me into peace. You lead me to the still waters of my mind where I can see reflected the truth of what is. I can give my life to You. I do not know the way or the meaning of the illusion and so I give it all to You.
