What the Course Means to Me

by Rev. Veronika Birken, O.M.C.

Rev. Veronika BirkenI have been asked about my relationship with A Course in Miracles. There are many sides to it but the one which has been most important to me was the discipline of practicing and applying the lessons. Reading books is a start, but only a start. Unless practice and application are added little progress or change can be expected. The one year of lessons are brilliantly designed to bring the student to the important awareness that his thoughts don’t mean anything, except what meaning he gives to them.

I had been trained in Christian Science, therefore to use the lessons of ACIM wasn’t difficult for me, though to do them really with full commitment and as indicated is very difficult. But this shouldn’t deter anyone. Even small steps show results.

I have also been given the blessing, through the work I have done with Pathways of Light, to find my own Inner Voice. This Voice the Course calls the Holy Spirit. To built this bridge is of number one priority, as then it becomes more and more obvious, when one is taken down the fools road by the ego voice. 

Rev. Veronika Birken is a Pathways of Light minister who lives in Merimbula, New South Wales, AU. Read her inspiring Healing Journal articles on the Pathways website. Email:RevV@trueimage.name
