    Letting Go of Avoidance | ✨ A Course in Miracles

    “Above all else I want to see.” – A Course in Miracles Workbook⁠⁠, Lesson 27

    What if clarity was the highest form of self-care?
    What if vision—true, spiritual vision—could dissolve confusion, fear, and illusion?

    In this episode, we explore Lesson 27 from A Course in Miracles Workbook⁠⁠, a call to make spiritual sight your #1 priority. We unpack what it means to see beyond illusion—to shift from distorted perceptions rooted in fear to a clearer understanding rooted in love.

    You’ll learn how illusions like diet culture, people-pleasing, and perfectionism keep us stuck… and how committing to “seeing above all else” can set us free.

    We also explore the discomfort that arises when illusions fall away—and the blessings that follow when we choose to see ourselves, others, and life through a truer lens.

    If you’ve been feeling foggy, stuck, or confused—this episode is for you.


    Key Insights from Lesson 27

    ✨ Vision is a choice—and a priority: When we make seeing clearly our highest goal, the world begins to reflect our inner clarity back to us.


    ✨ Seeing through love is never a sacrifice: According to the Course, true vision has no cost—it can only bless.


    ✨ One sincere moment of clarity is enough: Even if you forget your practice 99 times, one honest repetition of today’s mantra can transform your day—and your life.


    Reflection Questions

    • What illusions or false beliefs am I willing to release?

    • What does spiritual clarity look like for me?

    • Where have I been prioritizing comfort over truth?

    • If I truly believed that vision could only bless, what would I choose to see differently today?

    I Am Afraid _________ Will Happen | ✨ A Course in Miracles

    “My Attack Thoughts Are Attacking My Invulnerability.” – A Course in Miracles Workbook⁠, Lesson 26

    Have you ever noticed how quickly we go into mental battle mode—criticizing, judging, or trying to control—when we feel unsafe, insecure, or vulnerable?

    This week on Love & Learn, we explore Lesson 26 from A Course in Miracles Workbook⁠, which reveals a powerful paradox: the more we attack, the more vulnerable we feel. And the more vulnerable we feel, the more we attack.

    In this episode, Jessica unpacks the concept of invulnerability not as denial, but as a spiritual remembering. We are reminded that our true Self—the part of us beyond ego and form—is incapable of being wounded.

    This episode also includes an honest reflection on how this lesson interacts with real-world threats, wealth inequality, and systemic injustice. Jessica shares her own perspective on discernment and how we can hold both spiritual invulnerability and human vulnerability at the same time.


    Key Insights from Lesson 26

    ✨ Every attack thought is an act of self-harm: When we believe we can attack others, we simultaneously believe we can be attacked. This mindset diminishes our sense of safety and erodes our connection to peace.


    ✨ Vulnerability is created in the mind—not the world: According to the Course, your true Self is untouchable, eternal, and safe. But when we choose thoughts of fear, judgment, or control, we forget that—and invite the illusion of threat.


    ✨ Only your thoughts can make you feel vulnerable—and only your thoughts can restore your invulnerability: You don’t need someone else to change for you to feel secure. You don’t need the world to be perfect. What you need is to notice the thoughts that create fear—and choose differently.


    Reflection Questions

    • Where in my life am I bracing for attack instead of standing in love?
    • What thoughts do I entertain that make me feel weak, unsafe, or small?
    • In what situations do I confuse fear-based control with protection?
    • How might my experience shift if I believed I was invulnerable—safe in my essence, no matter what?

    The Hidden Grace in the Highs and the Lows | ✨ A Course in Miracles

    "I Do Not Know What Anything Is For." – A Course in Miracles Workbook, Lesson 25


    Have you ever been so certain about something, convinced it was "good" or "bad", only to realize later that you misunderstood its purpose entirely?


    In this episode of Love & Learn, we explore Lesson 25 from A Course in Miracles Workbook for Students. This lesson challenges us to step back from our assumptions and recognize that we may not truly understand the meaning of what’s happening in our lives.


    By surrendering the need to know, we create space for a deeper wisdom to emerge—one that serves our highest good, even when we don’t yet see how.


    Key Insights from Lesson 25

    ✨ The Ego’s Assumptions Are Not Reality: The ego thrives on certainty. It clings to labels, judgments, and familiar narratives because they provide a sense of control. But the danger in this is that we end up seeing what we expect to see, rather than what is actually there. We misinterpret situations, project old wounds onto new experiences, and resist change because it threatens the framework we’ve built in our minds. Instead of saying, “I already know what this means,” we begin to ask, “What else could this be? What might I be missing?”


    ✨ Meaning Emerges When We Let Go: Trying to control meaning keeps us trapped in a narrow, ego-driven perspective—one that filters everything through past experiences, fears, and personal expectations. When we cling to our own interpretations, we block the possibility of seeing things differently. By surrendering preconceived notions, we create space for divine wisdom to flow in. Letting go doesn’t mean becoming passive; it means shifting from force to faith, from grasping to allowing.


    ✨ Personal Interests Can Mislead Us: The goals we set for ourselves are often shaped by fear, ego, or external expectations rather than what truly serves us. When we cling to these personal agendas, we may overlook a greater path unfolding for our best interest. This lesson encourages us to recognize where our desires might be misaligned and to open ourselves to a deeper, more meaningful guidance.


    Reflection Questions

    • Where in my life am I assuming I already understand something’s purpose?
    • How does my attachment to specific outcomes affect my ability to trust life’s unfolding?
    • In what ways have my personal desires or interests misled me in the past?
    • What might shift in my experience if I fully trusted that everything is happening for my highest good?

    Is That in Your Best Interest? | ✨ A Course in Miracles

    "I Do Not Perceive My Own Best Interests." A Course in Miracles Workbook, Lesson 24

    Ever feel like you're chasing outcomes that don’t truly serve you or end up leaving you unfulfilled and frustrated?

    In this episode of Love & Learn, we dive into Lesson 24 from A Course in Miracles Workbook for Students. This lesson invites us to examine our inner world and acknowledge that the way we perceive our needs and desires might not actually lead us to happiness. By opening ourselves up to honest self-examination, we can begin to learn what truly serves our best interests.

    Key Insights from Lesson 24

    1. Honest Self-Examination Is Key: Recognizing that we often misperceive what benefits us is the first step toward genuine change. By admitting “I do not perceive my own best interests,” we create space to learn a new way of guiding our actions.


    2. Conflicting Goals Cloud Our Vision: Our desires and expectations can be jumbled and contradictory. When we hold multiple, conflicting outcomes in mind, we miss the unified path to our well-being.


    3. Learning Begins with Letting Go: Repeating the mantra and examining our unresolved situations allows us to let go of the demands that don’t serve us. This process opens us up to receive clearer, more loving guidance on what our true interests are.


    Reflection Questions

    • In which areas of my life have I been pursuing outcomes that leave me unfulfilled?
    • Where might my goals be conflicting with what truly benefits me?
    • How can I open myself up to learning and receiving guidance that aligns with my genuine best interests?

    Defending Yourself Against Others' Opinions, Judgements, or Actions | ✨ A Course in Miracles

    "I Can Escape from the World I See by Giving Up Attack Thoughts." A Course in Miracles Workbook, Lesson 23

    Ever feel like you have to defend yourself against others opinions, judgements, or actions toward you? In this episode of Love & Learn, we dive into Lesson 23 from A Course in Miracles Workbook For Students. This lesson shows us that our inner world—the very thoughts we choose—creates the reality we experience. By releasing attack thoughts, we reclaim the power to see and live in a world shaped by love rather than fear.


    Key Insights from Lesson 23

    1. Attack Thoughts Create a Vengeful World: The world we see is a reflection of our inner thoughts. If we hold attack thoughts, we will see attack everywhere.

    2. We Are Not Trapped: We don’t need to change the world—we need to change our thoughts about the world. The shift happens inside us first.

    3. Freedom Comes From Letting Go: By repeating the mantra—"I can escape from the world I see by giving up attack thoughts about ___________", we learn to identify and release negative patterns, opening the door to inner peace and a more compassionate perspective. We don’t have to fight. We can simply step aside and choose love instead.


    Reflection Questions:

    • In what areas of my life do I feel attacked or hold attack thoughts?
    • Are these thoughts directed inward, toward others, or both?
    • Am I willing to release my need to be right in favor of inner peace?

    Press play to explore how shifting your perception by letting go of attack thoughts can transform not just your inner world, but the entire reality you experience.

    "What I See Is a Form of Vengeance." – A Course in Miracles Workbook, Lesson 22


    Where in your life do you feel like the world or someone else is against you? 

    In this episode of Love & Learn, we explore Lesson 22 from A Course in Miracles Workbook, which teaches that the way we see the world is a direct reflection of our own inner fears and attack thoughts. The word vengeance comes from the Latin vindicare, meaning to punish or claim justice—but in spiritual truth, the only thing being punished is ourselves when we hold onto attack thoughts.

    Key Insights from Lesson 22

    1. We Project What We Fear: If you believe the world is harsh and unforgiving, you will find proof of it everywhere. Our perception is not neutral—it reinforces what we already expect.


    2. The Vicious Cycle of Attack Thoughts: When we see the world as full of threats, we live in defense mode, which fuels more conflict and suffering. This lesson invites us to break the cycle.


    3. There’s a Way Out: The most freeing truth of this lesson is that what we fear does not actually exist—except in our minds. By choosing to see differently, we reclaim our peace.

    By practicing this lesson with openness, we begin to release the illusion of attack and step into a reality shaped by love instead of fear.

    Anger, Frustration, F*ck Off Feelings | ✨ A Course in Miracles

    "I am determined to see things differently." – A Course in Miracles Workbook, Lesson 21

    Where in your life have you justified frustration or anger, believing you were seeing things clearly—only to later realize your perception was keeping you imprisoned in pain?

    In this episode of Love & Learn, we explore Lesson 21 from A Course in Miracles Workbook, which challenges us to shift our perspective on situations, people, and emotions that trigger us. This lesson teaches that even the smallest irritations stem from the same root as deeper anger, and that true vision requires a willingness to see beyond our conditioned responses.

    Key Insights from Lesson 21

    1. The Little Annoyances Matter: Every frustration, no matter how small, is an opportunity to see differently. The practice of shifting perception starts in the smallest moments.

    2. Anger is a Veil Over a Deeper Wound: Our reactions are often disguising something deeper. Recognizing this allows us to move toward healing instead of staying stuck in blame.

    3. True Power Comes From Perspective: We may not control external events, but we always have the power to shift how we see them. Choosing peace over frustration puts us back in the driver’s seat.

    By practicing this lesson with determination and openness, we begin to free ourselves from the emotional weight of judgment and step into a clearer, more loving way of seeing the world.

    The Power of Determination | ✨ A Course in Miracles

    "I am determined to see." – A Course in Miracles Workbook, Lesson 20

    Where in your life have you been so sure about something, only to later realize you were seeing it through a clouded lens?

    In this episode of Love & Learn, we explore Lesson 20 from A Course in Miracles Workbook for Students, which invites us to step into the power of determination when it comes to shifting our perception. This lesson reminds us that true vision isn’t about our physical eyes—it’s about how we choose to see the world with our mind and heart.

    Key Insights from Lesson 20

    1. Determination Unlocks Vision: Your decision to see differently is the catalyst for transformation. When you commit to this shift, the path begins to reveal itself.


    2. Awareness Without Judgment: This lesson is not about forcing yourself to see perfectly—it’s about becoming aware of how often we see through the lens of past conditioning, judgment, and fear. Simply noticing this is progress.


    3. The Law of Cause & Effect in Action: Whatever you desire to see, you will see. When you commit to clarity and truth, the world begins to reflect it back to you.

    By practicing this awareness, staying open to new perspectives, and choosing love over fear, we create the conditions for deep personal transformation.

    Clean Up Your Thoughts and Boundaries | ✨ A Course in Miracles

    "I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts." – A Course in Miracles Workbook, Lesson 19

    What if every thought you have not only shapes your inner world but also ripples outward, influencing the collective energy around you?

    In this episode of Love & Learn, we explore Lesson 19 from A Course in Miracles Workbook, which teaches us that our thoughts are interconnected and extend beyond ourselves. This lesson encourages us to recognize the ripple effect of our thoughts and choose love over fear, not only for our own peace but for the collective good.

    Key Insights on Lesson 19

    1. Minds Are Joined:This lesson reminds us that our thoughts are not contained within us—they are part of a shared, collective consciousness.

    2. Private Thoughts Are an Illusion: There are no private thoughts. This realization can feel vulnerable but is also freeing, as it highlights the power of aligning your inner world with love.

    3. Responsibility Becomes Empowerment: Understanding that your thoughts impact others allows you to see this interconnection not as a burden but as an opportunity to create ripples of love and healing. This interconnectedness makes the practice of self-compassion essential. When we notice critical or judgmental thoughts—about ourselves or others—and choose to shift toward love, we heal not only our own hearts but also contribute to a kinder, more loving collective energy.

    By practicing this awareness, setting boundaries, and choosing love over fear, we create the conditions for profound personal and shared transformation.

    You Can't Hate Yourself Into a Version You Can Love | ✨ A Course in Miracles

    "I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing." – A Course in Miracles Workbook, Lesson 18

    What if the way you see the world not only shapes your reality but also influences those around you?

    In this episode of Love & Learn, we explore Lesson 18 from A Course in Miracles Workbook, which teaches that our perceptions ripple outward, impacting others because our minds are interconnected. 

    This lesson is a profound reminder of the shared nature of our thoughts and how choosing to see with love rather than fear creates positive effects beyond ourselves.

    This Lesson's Practice:

    • Recognize the Ripple Effect:
      Look around your environment and say:
      “I am not alone in experiencing the effects of how I see this ______.”
    • Expand Your Awareness:
      With eyes closed, bring to mind thoughts or situations and repeat:
      “I am not alone in experiencing the effects of how I see this ______.”
    • Practice Daily:
      Do this 2-3 times a day for about one minute per session, adjusting as needed for comfort.

    Key Insights on Lesson 18:

    1. Perception Extends Beyond Ourselves: Our thoughts and perceptions aren’t isolated—they contribute to the collective energy we all share. Recognizing this deepens our responsibility for how we see and respond to the world.
    2. Love Over Fear Creates Ripples of Healing: Each loving thought we choose sends waves of positivity outward, uplifting not just ourselves but also those around us.
    3. Seeing Through Love Strengthens Connection: A shift in perception toward love fosters a greater sense of unity and shared purpose, reminding us that we are not separate but deeply connected.

    This lesson invites us to acknowledge the interconnected nature of our thoughts and embrace the power we have to bring healing and love into the world through how we see it. By practicing awareness and choosing love, we can help create a more harmonious and peaceful reality for ourselves and others.

    When You Want a Result Badly: Why Impatience, Control, and Instability Hold You Back | ✨ A Course in Miracles

    "I see no neutral things." – A Course in Miracles Workbook, Lesson 17

    What if every thought you hold assigns meaning to the world you see, shaping your reality as an extension of either love or fear? 

    In this episode of Love & Learn, we explore Lesson 17 from A Course in Miracles Workbook, diving into the idea that no thought is neutral, and therefore, no perception is neutral either. This lesson challenges us to recognize the impact of our thoughts and take responsibility for how they color our perceptions, opening the door to transforming our experiences and moving closer to peace and love.

    This Lesson's Practice:

    Observe Your Perceptions:

    • Look around your environment with eyes open and say:
      “I see no neutral things because I have no neutral thoughts.”

    Assign Meaning Mindfully:

    • Rest your gaze on each object or person long enough to say:
      “I do not see a neutral [object/person], because my thoughts about [object/person] are not neutral.”

    Repeat Daily:

    • Practice this 3-4 times a day for a minute or so, or adjust as needed to remain comfortable. Use it whenever unease arises to bring awareness to the meaning your mind assigns to the world around you.

    Key Insights on Lesson 17:

    1. Thoughts Create Perception: Our thoughts come first, shaping how we see the world. Recognizing this gives us the power to change our inner reality and, consequently, the way we experience the outer world.

    2. Perceptions Reflect Love or Fear: No thought or perception is neutral. Each is imbued with either love or fear. By becoming aware of this, we can begin choosing thoughts rooted in love, bringing greater peace and joy into our lives.

    3. Awareness Opens the Door to Change: The first step toward transformation is noticing the habitual meanings we attach to the people, objects, and situations around us. Awareness helps us release fear and align with love and truth.


    This lesson reminds us that we’re active participants in creating the world we experience. By acknowledging the power of our thoughts, we can begin to break free from fear-based patterns and embrace a reality shaped by love and forgiveness.
