Calla Lily by Lynda Siciliano
"Calla Lily" by Conference Call attendee Lynda Siciliano

"He is the Prime Creator because He created His co-creators. Because He did, time applies neither to Him nor to what He created. The "last step" that God will take was therefore true in the beginning, is true now, and will be true forever."

INSIDE THIS ISSUE
Now a Bi-Monthly eMagazine

~Communion of Souls~
           The Bi-Monthly eMagazine has finally taken shape, having been born at the perfect time! The Course in Miracles tells us that there are no accidents and encourages us to accept all things exactly as they are. Today we see the perfection of all things.  
                
           This year a DAILY CONFERENCE CALL was formed by Reverend Pamela Whitman and Reverend Reja Joy Green to give themselves and other ACIM Students the support they need in doing the lessons daily. People from all over the country have been dialing in every day to: read the lesson; do the lesson; and share the experiences they are having in doing the Course. One person in particular, Bryce Boyd, has been a faithful attendee and has submitted an article for this issue. Bryce shares with us his very personal journey of healing which has brought him to the Course in Miracles and to the Daily Conference Call in his article: "Destined to Find the Course".  
 
            We also have another participant on our Daily ACIM Lesson Conference Calls, Rosemarie Souders [Rose],  who is sharing her heartfelt poem "Give Me Love".

          In every issue, the CIMS eMagazine contains several article SERIES which are: "Dare to Be Happy" by Rev. Daniel Tipton, a "Questions and Answers" section and "Guidance from Elder Brother" scribed by Sun~Rose. We are continuing those series AND we are adding a few NEW sections! 

          One of the NEW sections is called "Spiritually Minded Movies" which was a suggestion by one of our Daily Conference Call participants, Carl Lammers. Carl is the main facilitator on the Sunday Conference Call and a regular participant on the weekday calls. The first movie, suggested by Carl for this month, is: "The Game" with Michael Douglas. After we all view the movie, we can go onto the Facebook "ACIM Lesson and Text Call" GROUP to discuss which aspects of A Course in Miracles we see illustrated and why. 

          Another NEW section of our eMagazine is our VIDEO Showcase. This was also an excellent suggestion by Carl Lammers who wanted to share a video interview of Carol Howe by Kenneth Bok. Carol was a close friend of Bill Thetford, who was the co-scribe of A Course in Miracles and she is author of the book, "Never Forget to Laugh: Personal Recollections of Bill Thetford". Carol has recently produced a fantastic Video Series to help ACIM students understand the concepts and principles of A Course in Miracles called:   "See How Life Works" The 4th Video of the series will be available this month!               
 
          The DARE TO BE HAPPY series by Rev. Daniel Tipton has an excellent article called:  "Bite-Sized Inspiration" Rev. Daniel is a member of Course in Miracles Society [CIMS] and occasionally attends the ACIM Study group at Unity of Omaha on Sunday mornings facilitated by Rev. Reja Joy and her husband Chris. 

            
           The Question in the Q and A section in this issue is "I've been doing this work for years, and honestly I've seen no major results apart from short glimpses. Am I doing it wrong?" This excellent question is answered by David Hemphill who is a regular participant of the Weekly TEXT Conference Call  every Wednesday evening.  

             

            Elder Brother offers us some insights on "How are we Co-Creators?" in the article: GUIDANCE from ELDER BROTHER  scribed by Sun~Rose.  

 

           As a REMINDER, we have DAILY scribing by Sun~Rose of GUIDANCE from Elder Brother on each and every DAILY LESSON, appearing on our Web Site, on our Blog and emailed each day to Course students who have joined our email list.    

 

          The  Daily Lesson Conference Call, is a tremendous success. Two ministers of the Community Miracles Center, Rev. Pamela Whitman and myself, Rev. Reja Joy Green,  are hosting the DAILY LESSON CONFERENCE CALL which is open to everyone. An average of 20 people join together  every morning to do the Daily ACIM Lesson together and share their experiences. Some of those who are on the call choose to just listen; Some choose to participate in the reading aloud of the Lesson and some share their experiences and any questions they may have. The call is FREE and available to all. Come join us!  610-214-0000 Code: 320134#   Past recordings are here

 

           We are also continuing to publish information regarding our TRANSLATION PROJECT.  If you are inspired to give a tax deductible contribution to these efforts Please Click Here.  

 

          MAILING LIST CHANGES: When it is noon in New York, it is already the NEXT morning in Australia and the day for the ACIM students in New Zealand starts about 17 hours before the day starts for students here in the USA. That is why, this year, we are mailing the next day's lesson at noon Eastern Standard Time. These students  now receive the lesson at the start of 'their' day.

Destined to Find the Course
By Bryce Boyd*
Destined to Find the Course  

The first time I saw that blue book sitting in the bathroom of my new acquaintance's home, I was intrigued by the title, A Course In Miracles.  It was unusual for me to think of miracles as anything that could be studied and learned, but rather a mysterious gift that was rare and suspect to fraud.  I grew up in the 1960's in Tulsa, Oklahoma where "signs and wonders" where something those charismatic folks needed to help them believe, but we Baptists were told that miracles were no longer necessary after The Bible was completed.  We didn't need miracles to know that God was real, faith was enough.  Yet by 2005, my faith had morphed into an insane belief system, formed from what I thought were truthful rigid ideas presented in The Bible, but it was no longer setting me free as it promised. It was gripping my mind with confusion and fear. Perhaps this miracles book was some kind of way out of my confusion I wondered?

 

I remember opening the book and scanning its pages.  I remember trying to imagine how miracles might help me believe in a more loving God.  Nothing made any sense to me as I read the pages.  It seemed almost like it was written in another language, total nonsense, so I thought at the time, and within a couple minutes dismissed it as impossible to help me with the separation that I felt from God. I totally missed that this idea of separation was the very thing it was offering to heal.  I was looking for knowledge on how to become something better and blind to the possibility that I only needed to remove the blocks.  It would be several years later before The Course would find me ready to receive it.

 

I was deeply disturbed most of the time and had developed a secret life of addiction that would provide brief moments of relief from my insane thoughts, followed by a growing terror that an ending to my life might be the only relief from my insanity.  I had quit attending church services, and bible-study-prayer-groups because of my guilt and denial that I was going to find anything else within The Bible or wisdom from any "believer" to relieve my growing self-hatred.  I really struggled with the conflicting messages and had many times imagined that I was going to hell because of my inability to find any permanent solution to my addictions.  I had imagined that I must be damned because I was not able to receive any kind of transformation experience promised for "those that believe". As my addictions continued to rob me of any hope of change, I developed a need to imagine a more merciful future for those of us who had lost hope in The Message.

 

I began searching for signs of mercy from my spouse by admitting my need for a different idea of hell.  I started searching for different interpretations and for writings to support a more acceptable future for myself.  I discovered one modern brave church leader, Carlton Pearson, who had recently exposed his doubt in the existence of hell as a place of eternal torment. Because of his confession, he had been declared a heretic by his peers and abandoned by most of his congregation.  I remember wondering if this would become my story.  Although I found other books and churches to support my need to reject the idea of an eternal hell, I couldn't sway my wife to follow my lead to research this with me further.  

 

I started attending various liberal minded churches trying to find a place where I could feel at home, but continued to experience tremendous anxiety from feelings of separation. I needed help breaking free from wanting to change how I believed others in my special religious relationship circle were thinking about me. I imagined their judgments and retreated into my addiction.  As my isolation grew, my addictions grew worse. I think I unconsciously used my addictions to hide my fears and excused my addictions as a way to solicit pity rather than to face their judgments.  In my insanity, I ....

Give Me Love
By Rosemarie Souders*
Give Me Love
                                                                       Back to Top 

Give me love beyond my thoughts, and hope beyond my seeing...


For the eyes I have cannot compare to the beauty of my vision...


I know not what I'm doing or what I now can see,


For all of life has come and gone but remains for me to see...


I hold the Truth within my heart, I hold it for you too,


Take my hand, allow me to give this love to you....

"Through learning from ACIM, I've learned what love can be and that is what I want to Rose share with others. Knowing Rev. Pamela and Rev. Reja Joy and all the others from the Conference Calls has helped me tremendously to awaken to the beauty of what the Course teaches.  I've learned that I am NOT the teacher but always the student."

Storyline

Nicholas Van Orton is a very wealthy San Francisco banker, but he is an absolute loner, even spending his birthday alone. In the year of his 48th birthday (the age his father committed suicide) his brother Conrad, who had gone away a long while ago and had surrendered to addictions of all kinds, suddenly returns and gives Nicholas a card giving him entry to an unusual entertainment service provided by something called Consumer Recreation Services (CRS). Giving up to curiosity, Nicholas visits CRS and the GAME begins.

Join in the discussion on our "ACIM Lesson and Text Call" Facebook Group about which A Course in Miracles principles this movie demonstrates.  

        

Lying: 

We lie to ourselves every day. Isn't that what ACIM is telling us? "Stop lying to yourself". When I think about it, who am I kidding? Certainly, I am not fooling God. In fact, I am only fooling myself. Isn't that a little insane? How appalled are we when we catch somebody lying to us? Yet, we deceive ourselves on a regular basis. ACIM is teaching is to stop kidding ourselves. This is not a condemnation. It also tells us we can laugh at ourselves a little. When we are "kidding", it's like we are joking. Laugh at the little idea the ego made up and remember the unwavering truth of our nature: we are as God created us.

 

Symbolically, Adam (man) believed the first lie, which was from the serpent (ego). He then fell into a deep sleep from which he is yet to awaken. We are hypnotized by our own lies. It's time to wake up.

 

"When the "lies of the serpent" were introduced, they were specifically called "lies" because they are not true. When man listened, all he heard was untruth. He does not have to continue to believe what is not true unless he chooses to do so. All of his miscreations can literally disappear in "the twinkling of an eye" because they are merely visual misperceptions. Man's Spiritual eye can sleep, but a sleeping eye can still see. What is seen in dreams seems to be very real. The Bible mentions that "a deep sleep fell upon Adam," and nowhere is there any reference to his waking up." (OrEd.T.2.13)

 

Assertiveness:

Assertiveness is a trait I would like to foster and ACIM is giving me the foundation of truth from which to stand upon. With ACIM behind is, we can speak our minds, knowing we have God's full support. Yet, I am afraid of saying the wrong thing or hurting somebody's feelings. I am in school to be a counselor and I find that assertiveness is actually helpful to people, most of the time. We do not help people by reserving our truth out of fear. In fact, we may have something to say that a person has been dying to hear for a long time. How many times have I walked away from a conversation, wishing I had said what I really wanted to say, probably what was needed to be heard by both of us. Putting those "controversial" words out there is certainly scary, but what's the worst that can happen? On the other hand, what's the best that can happen? The potential would certainly be increased. Let's do something crazy and speak our minds a little more...correction: speak our hearts a little more. Speaking from the heart is an act of love. The result may not always be what we want or expect, but it's not our job to decide that anyway.

Questions and Answers
In Light of ACIM 
By DAVID HEMPHILL*

Questions and Answers  
                                                                         Back to Top

QUESTION: "I've been doing this work for years, and honestly I've seen no major results apart from short glimpses. Am I doing it wrong?"    

 

ANSWER: The most prevalent thing here is noticing. Sometimes it's heart breaking to be buying into my thoughts - especially when my thoughts start talking about my failure in ACIM, awakening, and failure to live an exuberant life all together. I can start seeing failure everywhere; I begin to project it on to everything. I watch myself buy into my ego knowing I should be in Holy Spirit. I watch myself read a piece of material - I become frustrated, I thrash around, apply myself, and end up quitting because I don't understand. I begin to see failure everywhere, and in my experience, It doesn't go away no matter how hard I push it out of my mind, no matter how many quotes of ACIM I push into it - no matter how many sleepless nights I play my failures over and over in my head, they just don't seem to go away.

My next step here is beautiful; I just have to notice. It's so, so important to recognize the beauty of my journey. And part of that beauty is recognizing the Ego. The ego is not bad, misjudging, unloving, uncaring; the ego does not bring bad thoughts into my mind, does not instill fear into my body; the ego simply speaks, and it's from not noticing that I begin to experience pain and failure. Byron Katie calls this an unquestioned thought, Jesus in the Course of Miracles calls this lack of vigilance, and I'm going to call it not noticing.

Notice when ego is speaking. Notice when ego says "You fail!", and simply hear it. Normally when I hear the ego telling me I've failed, I go in every direction to find Holy Spirit - I search for serenity, I repeat a mantra - I find a way to block the ego so I can hear Holy Spirit. And in case I haven't figured it out yet, it doesn't work. But, I don't ever take advice from anyone; I always test it for myself. And in my experience, when I am depressed and failing, whatever it is I'm doing isn't working. Pushing my ego away, "surrendering", to the Holy Spirit isn't working for me. Am I doing it wrong?

It's impossible to be doing it wrong. But again, don't take it from me, test this for yourself. In the meantime, there are ways I can discipline my mind that lead me to a joyful experience. There are ways to discipline my mind that open the blocks to love, and allow Holy Spirit - allow clarity; Gently, I can train my mind to allow my inner guide, intuition, and True Self to lead me. The very next step is the only step; my entire salvation - the next step is the same as the first step. Just notice.

The ego says "You fail!". Imagine for a second what happens, how you experience life after that attack. I can spend all night agreeing with the depressing experience, but it's time for a change. Let the ego say "You Fail!" and stop the story there. If I really can't let go of the story right now, and I just need to experiment on why this is or isn't true, that's fine. I'm not ready yet; I've had plenty of times where I wasn't ready, and I feverishly bought into my story. I've picked every side of my scab, and I've ran a movie of failure in my mind over and over. Just let me notice I'm not ready, and I guarantee I'll be ready when I'm ready, and not a moment sooner.

If I've experienced this scenario enough, I might

Guidance from Elder Brother
"How are we CO-Creators"?
As Received and Transcribed by Sun~Rose
Co-Creation

                                                            Back to Top  


TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE:  In His Guidance, He has asked Me to capitalize the pronouns You and We as an acknowledgement of the Divinity of All of Us, an acknowledgement of Equality, an expression of His Love and respect for You.  

  

BROTHER: "In the beginning gods" - those Sons of God - who thought they were rebels - created the Heaven and the earth: i.e. the separation. All there is is Heaven. "Earth" is but a dense- and quite defended - experience of Heaven. Experience the Course aims to undo. A dream that seems to be Reality, and yet it isn't.

 

"Let us today be truly humble, and accept what we have made as what it is The power of decision is our own. Decide but to accept your rightful place as co-creator of the universe, and all you think you made will disappear. What rises to awareness then will be all that there ever was, eternally as it is now. And it will take the place of self-deceptions made but to usurp the altar to the Father and the Son".

 

Belov�ds, choose again for Your Right Mind. Then will Your mind become once more as God.

 

SCRIBE: So what is it that You're saying here? What does this mean Brother?

 

BROTHER: First and foremost, Our Oneness with Our God. For what God is, We are. And when I say "We" My meaning is the entire Sonship, awake and asleep, even unKnowing. As God moves, We move. As God is Spirit, We are Spirit.

 

As God is Love, We are Love, et cetera. We are not like God, yet separate. We are One as God. We All are identical to God in quality, His Infinite Expression. God is Source; and We are just as Our Source, flowing forth as joy, quite Infinitely. Feel Your connection: how much God Loves You, how precious to Him that You really are.

 

As God is Be-ing the Universe, so too is all Creation One as He, as His very Be-ing.

 

I'll clarify this: Let Us once again go back to the sun as Our example: the central point - the Source - the local idea of Light for those caught in the dreaming.

 

As central Source the sun sends forth Light as rays streaming forth illumination in the darkened dream. Yet is it hampered by the seeming solid earth that hides its Light from all those dreaming. What makes the earth seem solid but the self-centered and dense thinking of the ego.

 

Would You wish to be this when Christ calls to You to choose again? Why do I call but for You to regain Your rightful sense as the Illumination of the Father.

 

Where is the Light within the dream when the Son of God has so become self-centered? So contrary to the Father's Love for His belov�d Son. Could We understand the Sun if the Rays refused to shine? Can We comprehend Our good God - understand Ourselves- when We refuse to be as He?

 

The act of One affects the act of All, We're so connected. Each One of God makes up the Son of God.

 

Herein lies the importance of the act of "co-creation", which is quite simple. What God is are We. To co-create is to be the presence of God's Qualities. Life, Truth, Love, and Spirit, Mind, and Soul. We, too, are all of these Holy Qualities.

 

When I say "We", I speak for Every One of You, not just for Me. "In the beginning gods" that is what it says. And it speaks not of Our Father, but of the separation; and this must be repeated till it be understood.

 

God and His Son have always been, as They will forever Be. There is just Heaven; "Earth" is but a dense -and quite defended - experience of Heaven.

 

I will repeat this till it's understood: "In the beginning gods" - those Sons of God - who thought They were rebels - created the Heaven and the earth: i.e. the separation. Yet They but dreamed an idle dream

 

All there is is Heaven; "Earth" is but a dense- and quite defended and so limited - unreal experience of Heaven.

 

My belov�d Sisters and My belov�d Brothers, listen to Me carefully: As God loves universally, this Love so too need We be. As God is Life, We need not die; and to demonstrate this is but co-creation: to presence His constant Life - which is Ours as well unchanging. Gratitude to God for Eternal Life.

 

Since God is Truth and Principle, We must honest be, and this most scrupulously. And through this authenticity do We find Our own wonderful Reality.

 

Co-creation is to be just as He.

    How many times have you said to yourself that you wanted to start A Course in Miracles Daily Lessons at the beginning of the year?

    Now there is a way to do that and with the company and support of fellow students.

    Rev. Pamela Whitman and Rev. Reja Joy Green experienced incredible insights while participating in the Community Miracles Center [CMC] Ministerial Program. Each day for a year they met with a lesson partner to practice the lessons together.

    The experience was so helpful and was such a powerful way of integrating the A Course in Miracles Lessons, that they decided to continue into the New Year. In order to do this, they developed a way of not only continuing but of sharing it with anyone who would like to join them.

    Rev. Pamela Whitman* and Rev. Reja Joy Green* are facilitating a Daily Lesson Conference Call which began January 1, 2013.

    The Call is at 9 am EST every morning. Rev. Pamela is Facilitator on Mon, Wed, and Sat. Rev. Reja Joy is Facilitator on Tu, Th and Fri; Sundays are facilitated by Carl Lammers.

    On the Call everyone will:  

  •         Open with a Guided Centering
  •         Read the Lesson for the day
  •         Do the lesson which includes meditation
  •         Read a Commentary from various sources
  •         Guest Speakers from time to time
  •         Share our experience
  •         Close with a Guided Centering 


    GUEST Speakers will be invited to attend and all participants will be encouraged to share their favorite commentary. 


    Number to Call: 610-214-0000
    [Long Distance charges may apply]
    Code: 320134#


    When the number is dialed, the system will ask for the CODE to be entered. Once you are on the call, the automated attendant will ask you to 'Please announce yourself' which you may or may not want to do. It is totally up to you.

    To eliminate background noise, please MUTE your phone when you are not speaking. You may use the MUTE button on your phone or press *6. To un-mute, just press*6 again.

    Bluetooth on your mobile is fine but Internet callers may not have clear reception.

Rev. Reja Joy Green *Reverend Reja Joy Green is one of the founding members of the Course in Miracles Society [CIMS]; She is the CIMS webmaster, eMagazine editor and producer of the Daily Lesson Mailings. Rev. Reja Joy facilitates the Course in Miracles study group in Omaha and was recently ordained as a Community Miracles Center minister. 
  As a registered Yoga Instructor, Rev. Reja Joy teaches through her RejaJoy-Yoga-Studio from the perspective of A Course in Miracles and hosts several social media groups for those who share this journey. Rev. Reja Joy currently resides with her loving husband Chris Green in Omaha, NE.   

Rev. Nyki Dobson *Reverend Nyki Dobson experienced a spiritual opening in 2002. She says her emotional pain got so severe that she became willing to be shown another way. At this time she heard a friend's tape of Marianne Williamson. In it she spoke about "the Peace of God" and kept referring to ACIM. Although it was an uncomfortable path of looking with Spirit at beLIEfs & concepts she stayed consistent at her willingness to see differently. Eventually, The Peace of God became her only goal. 
People that know her, say that she walks her talk. She continues to be vigilant about questioning her false perceptions. Those that have watched her transformation say that she is a different person than she was a decade ago.  
When asked about her transformation her husband said the change was indescribable. The differences are as strong as the difference between Chaos and Peace. He said that she had moved from a destabilizing energy to one that transmitted a calming feeling to those around her.
