7/13/2008 4 Murders without corpses P.90.time at a different A Course in Miracles teaching facility called "Pathways of light." In the two days I spent there, I was struck by the similarity in approaches between the directors of the organization, Robert and Mary Stolting, and what I had heard about the Course's scribe, Helen Schucman.
When world had gooten out in the '70s that Helen was hearing the voice of Jesus, people would occasionally try to get her to ask him a question for them. Insteand of doing that, Helen would sit down with them and ask them to listen with her. As an alternative to haveing them rely on her to hear the Voice of God, Helen's idea was to empower them to hear the Voice for themselves. I found that this was also the approach at Pathways of Light. Instead of telling people what to do, they were into teaching people how to hear the Holy Spirit's Voice for themselves so they could be guilded by spirit without needing another human to mediate for them.
Of course, the best and fastest approach to making that happen in a permanent way is through the process of forgiveness, which undoes the blocks in people's minds to "hearing" that Voice. It's also wise to remember that the "Voice" can actually show up in many different forms, not just as a Voice.
I liked the Stoeltings very much, and I looked forward to returning to the Pathways of Light.
I was speaking someplace different in the country almost every week now, and a month later, in May of 2004, I made my first trip to Canada to do an appearance in Halifax, Nova Scotia. As a way of illustrating how little traveling I had done before the book came out, I had lived in New England all of my life and had never been to Canada! I loved the people in Halifax. After the workshop, they had a celebration with music, drinking, and dancing. I found it refreshing that they didn't think being spiritual and having a good time were mutually exclusive.
