Minister

Posted by Alicja Aratyn on 16th Sep 2015

Two weeks ago I have been ordained to become a Minister with CIMM, the organization is fully recognized by the Canadian Government. So, however I have been ordained and have had a title of a Minister from the USA for years, I have never fully felt it and did do much with it in my own country as it was not recognized here.

It took me years to come to the point when I was able to admit to myself that I am ready to take it to the next level. So I did. In the process I have taken a lot of time to think it over and over again. My question to myself was: what does that mean for me to become a fully operational Minister? So I have started from the beginning, as I normally do when I face new challenges. I go to the root and the history of it, in order to deeply and proficiently understand my next step.

The word Minister came out of a Latin word “mysterium”, which means “secret” and “sacred” at the same time. But even earlier it was known in Greece as “musticos”, which means “secret”. Greek secret rites were called “musterion”. That is how we got into “Mystery” – the word, which first appeared publicly in the 14th century England and relatively fast spread all over Europe. People began to use the adjective “Ministerium” to describe “service” or “occupation”. From there we came directly to today’s “Minister”, which in its essence means “servant”.

Minister or servant does not only refer to a religion aspect of service. It is about every minister or rather all ministers we have today in our government. It seems like they have forgotten it somehow, on the way up. Servant, someone of service – I don’t think anyone sees our ministers this way anymore.

I would like to be of service to people and I do think I am. For years my healing practice has been my service to people. My teachings and lecturing around the world is and always have been most of all service to fellow human beings. To me it goes both ways, I pass knowledge; they inspire me through their questions, problems, concerns. I give what I know; they push me to stretch my imagination, to reach further and go higher. It is a win-win situation. That is what I like about being a Minister. I hope that I will stay this way until the end of my time here.
