A Course In Miracles Lesson 93

I recognize how deeply I have believed that something is fundamentally wrong with me.

Lesson 93

Light and joy and peace abide in me.

🌿 Today’s lesson confronts that belief directly.

It suggests that the self I condemn is not the Self that exists.

The idea that my sinlessness is guaranteed feels almost impossible to accept at first.

Not because I do not want it, but because I have invested so much in the opposite story.

With a felony background, shame can feel like evidence.

Records, memories, consequences.

All appear to confirm a flawed identity.

But the Course is not denying mistakes.

It is denying that mistakes define reality.

It introduces a different foundation: light and joy and peace were placed in me by God.

They were not earned.

They cannot be lost.

This shifts the task from mere self-improvement to recognition.

Instead of managing a damaged identity, I am invited to question the belief that I was ever damaged to begin with.

I am learning to let go of the self-image I constructed.

Not replacing it with a better image.

But realizing that what I am does not need repair.

Light and joy and peace abide in me.

I am MovingStill.
