Let’s get real. You’re not seeing the world. You’re seeing your wounds. Your past. Your pain—projected like a movie onto every person, moment, and mirror.

🎭 That argument?

💔 That disappointment?

😤 That trigger?

You wrote the script. You decided this matters and that does not.

ACIM Lesson 2 is the moment you realize:

“I have given everything I see all the meaning it has for me.”

💥 Translation?

That betrayal you keep replaying...That judgment you made...That memory that still stings...

You assigned the meaning. Which means—you can unassign it too.

👁️ That’s power.

🧠 Schemas

We’re all walking around with old emotional software—called schemas.

🧠 Schemas = deeply held beliefs from early life that shape how you see everything now.

Some popular hits:

“I’m not good enough.”
“People always leave.”
“I have to earn love.”

These stories play in the background and color your reality without your permission.

ACIM says: 🌀 “The world is neutral. It's your mind that assigns meaning.”

🧘🏾‍♀️ Today’s Practice

Pick anything—a cup, a person, a comment—and say:

✨ “I gave this all the meaning it has for me.” ✨

Let it land. Let it feel weird. Let it break the illusion.

⚡️ Integration Challenge

The next time you get triggered, anxious, or judged:

💭 Pause.💬 Say this:

“This might not mean what I think it means.” “I’m the one who gave this its meaning—and I can choose again.”

Forgiveness is the rewrite. ACIM is your pen.

💬 Affirmation for Lesson 2

“The meaning I gave this isn’t serving me. I forgive it. I choose to see with Love instead.”

💣 Final Truth Bomb

Your ego will fight this.

It’ll scream: “But it DID mean something! Look what they did!”

Let it scream. Then smile. Because now you see the game—and you’re done playing.
