A Course In Miracles Lesson 289

I notice how often I leave the past behind in time while continuing to carry it completely intact in my mind.

Lesson 289

The past is over. It can touch me not.

🌿 The past does not have to be happening now for me to keep experiencing it.

I can replay it, judge through it, defend against it, and use it to decide what the present means before I have actually seen the present at all.

Forgiveness allows the past to be finished.

Today I'm paying attention to where I am looking at something that is no longer here. I'm choosing to let the present stand on its own instead of asking yesterday to tell me what I see today.

The past is over. It can touch me not.

I am MovingStill.
