A Course In Miracles Lesson 171

I notice how quickly I forget that I have a choice in how I experience my life.

Lesson 171

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

🌿 There are times when life feels like something happening to me.

Circumstances appear.

Conversations unfold.

Challenges arise.

And before I realize it, I've accepted a story about what it all means.

The lessons I am reviewing today remind me that I am not merely reacting to the world.

I am participating in how I experience it.

More importantly, they remind me that the one making those choices is not separate from God.

🧩 (151) All things are echoes of the Voice for God.

I often assume meaning comes from the outside.

But this lesson invites me to listen more carefully.

What I hear depends on which voice I am willing to follow.

The voice of fear tells one story.

The Voice for God tells another.

🧩 (152) The power of decision is my own.

This lesson reminds me that I am not powerless.

I may not control every circumstance, but I am never without the ability to choose again.

That freedom reflects something fundamental, not only about who, but about what I am.

Both lessons point beyond perception to identity.

If I can choose, then I am not trapped.

If I can hear the Voice for God, then I am not separate from my Source.

The ability to choose and the ability to hear are reminders of something far deeper than the situations I face.

They point back to the Self that remains connected to God.

Today I'm paying attention to where I forget my own participation in experience.

Where I act as though I am trapped inside circumstances, reactions, or old interpretations.

Not trying to force a different experience.

But becoming more willing to remember the Self that can always choose again.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

I am MovingStill.
