Rev. Tim Lesley
PO Box 8788 Albuquerque NM 87198
505-266-4852 send e-mail   

Minister modality:
As a minister in the Eternal Life Church my main focus is on being a facilitator/participant within the studies of A Course in Miracles.  I help the participant in discovering the Holy Spirit, the inner teacher within them.  This involves leading participants through reading and discussion, as well as, facilitating experimental processes through meditations. I am developing and maintaining such qualities as kindness, unconditional love, trust, patience, defenselessness and following the guidance of the Christ Mind within.  Developing these qualities empowers by demonstration.
If you would like to join one of our groups, please feel free to contact me by telephone or e-mail. All of us have times when we feel anxious, fearful, tense or angry and cannot seem to break loose from these feelings. When you find yourself caught up in a scenario or perspective that you know is destructive or unhealthy it may be helpful to work with a counselor to help you access your inner wisdom. As a spiritual counselor I can help you get insight into the situation so that you can see it from a higher perspective. This spiritual counseling is inspired by the spiritual psychology of A Course in Miracles which allows you to take a look at the collection of beliefs which are causing your discomfort. After this is brought to full awareness, I will help you reconnect with your inner peace which opens the door to let your inner wisdom help you see the reality surrounding the fear, tension, anxiety or lack a peace. With the help of your inner wisdom, your perception is healed. You are able to see clearly again and able to break through the self-created barriers and take an important step in your healing process. Individual counseling is available in the Albuquerque area, telephone and internet counseling is available for everyone. All counseling is FREE and donations are also excepted.


Rev. Helen Stewart

 send e-mail   www.drhelenstewart.com

Ministry Modality

With an unusual blend of simple gift and formal training, Helen explores present and future potentialities for companies and individuals very quickly through an intuitive process she calls Seven Second Decision Making. A typical consult is straightforward and to the point, covering an extraordinary range of subject matter.
This work is supported by Helen’s underlying belief that the best of humanity is an impulse, a motivation for service through fulfillment. With intuition as a tool for authentic collaboration and service, we discover true global community. At last we know who we are! Businesses, too, have identity and seek fulfillment, which in that context can be described as the optimal blend of creativity and service.
· Helen’s ministry helps individuals and companies bring the whole self to life and work and to the experience of fulfillment:
o uniting head and heart, reason and intuition
o balancing creative imagination and unique expression with responsibility to universal community
o expecting and assuming good intention
o living in a both/and universe
o remembering that grace is birthright, the gift to all life from a loving presence known by many names, including God, to represent All That Is.
· The essence of this work is counseling at a deep level. The counseling occurs through spiritual and secular consultation, public speaking, personal and professional training, and ongoing CEO support in the U.S. and abroad. Fulfillment can be described as simply as finally “knowing one’s name,” or discovering the fullest expression of unique identity.

Ministry modality:
Weddings, Vow-Renewals, Writing

Rev. Rahmaneh Meyers
Santa Fe, NM
505-913-1904 send e-mail   www.aramaicjesus.net

Minister modality:
I learn, sing, teach, and delight in the words of Jesus in his native Aramaic. Since Hebrew and Aramaic are sister dialects, the same concepts that Jesus shared, show up in Hebrew; so we get to experience the heart of Judaism, as well as pre-church Christianity. And since Arabic came out of Aramaic, the same teachings once again come forth in Arabic and offer us the life breath of Islam. I love sharing this material, both for personal joy, healing, and integration, and well as for group enlightenment and human healing. I especially look forward to sharing with young people, so their innate knowing of sacred Unity can be verified by the gifts our ancestors gave us. I also cherish sharing how the Divine Feminine is flowing strongly through the heart of all three Semitic religions, and how that stream of revelation continues to be available for us all, all the time. Shalom, Shlama, Salam.
