A Sunday Morning Call

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

I was gratefully and joyfully on the Pathways of Light Sunday morning call today. What a glorious blessing! How fortunate we are in this age of technology to connect in the comfort of our own homes. Robert reminded us in a beautiful meditation this morning of our connection to each other and to every brother and sister.  

During the call, many opportunities came up for me to “be” one of my brothers or sisters. One brother (Rev. Greg Hesch) spoke of how grateful he was/is that he was able to stay in peace when surrounded by seeming conflict among his neighbors.

The ego wants us to take sides so that we can project guilt and blame onto an “other.” He was able to see beyond this ego setup and remember that fear is controlling them. Fear makes us feel alone and separated from each other and God.

The political dynamics of this country are but a giant billboard of how we have chosen to believe in separation, that we need to “take sides.” He remembered to choose Holy Spirit as his Guide and not let the ego cloud his vision. He saw the conflict as a call for love. It is not that one side is right and the other is wrong. The real problem lies in believing that there is a “side” to take, that there is something, anything, other than the One Love we all are and we all share in every moment. He remembered this. He chose Heaven, now. Thank you, Greg, for sharing your practice of extending love.

I could connect and become one with Greg’s experience, as I can with every “story” anyone shares. This one was especially current for me, though. I have had some huge drama happen in my life in the last few years. Apparently, I needed the big hammer, because I didn’t go to Spirit frequently enough to hear the gentle whispering of guidance moment to moment.

With “big” lessons comes big opportunities for healing, though the Course tells us there is only one problem and one solution. But, in this “story” called Zen’s life here on this planet, I had a “big” one. So many gifts have come as I joined with Holy Spirit, over and over to let go of the belief that I have been harmed or experienced a loss, in any way.

As I opened to the Truth that I have always been safe in God’s love, as have the “others” in the story, who seemed guilty or hurtful. This was all a projection of the ego. I forgot for awhile. I forgive what never happened. Some neighbors have not forgotten what happened. They believe that they must keep their distance because they believe I am, by association, guilty. Greg’s story reminded me that I have had to choose love in this situation. I admit, I have been sad and hurt at times. It’s all a process, right? But then I feel bad.

God wants us to feel perfect happiness. The only way I can feel happy is to remember the Truth and choose to extend love. To see their behavior as a call for love and to return that call for love by extending the Love we all are, always. OH, it feels so good!

Another lesson came up too, after the call. I sat here, in my little dining room/office. I was blissed out with the lovely sharing of Love and Light on our call. After our talk, people offer their gratitude for the call and for each other. My offering was: I see us all in Love’s Oneness. Nice, hey? yeah, I sat here, extending love to ALL, even the POTUS… even Putin… neighbors, well, everyone I could think of. Extending Love, including all. Family members, naming each one, my greatest teachers.

Then it happened: a wave of pain and suffering caused by the previously mentioned “story.” A leftover belief that I have lost love, that I have been harmed. Yikes! It was a very strong emotion, sadness! So strong, after such a beautiful morning, the sun shining, the birds singing. Bam! back in suffering. Tears came, just a few, but they came. Even now, when I allow this story to take over, I am sad once again. Why? Because the ego still believes it was hurt, that I have lost Love. To lose love is impossible in reality. But the belief is set in deeply and must be offered up in forgiveness in every moment, in every form, in every image, in every thought.

So, now I must go to Spirit once again, again and again. As many times as is needed. It doesn’t matter how many times. I used to think it should end by a certain amount of times or in a certain amount of time. But it doesn’t matter because this is how many times is necessary, in order to let go of every lingering belief that I am anything other than God’s perfect Love. And so is everyone. Any lingering shred of belief in separation must come to awareness and be given over to Holy Spirit for transformation to Truth. Gratitude, not resentment, not frustration, or spiraling down into fear. Gratitude. I am grateful I am coming out of the fog and suffering of fear. I am offering fear to Holy Spirit and returning to the Light. Thank You God for Everything. In every moment, I choose Love.  

And so, I am blessed with seeing opportunities to extend and be Love on multiple levels. In the world, in my neighborhood, in my family and in myself. If I am to live in joy and peace, this is the only way. There is only one way to be in Heaven Now. I choose Love in every moment, and give everything else to Holy Spirit, forgiving this world, this body, this story.

We are One in Love, we are One in Spirit. I got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my soul.
