When we hold onto blame—when we attack, resent, or judge—we’re not hurting others. We’re hurting ourselves.
💭 The Illusion of Protection
Your ego says: “Hold onto that memory.”
“Keep that anger.”
“Don’t let them off the hook.”
But the Course reminds us—what you project onto others, you’re reinforcing in your own mind.
Every judgment becomes a prison. Not for them—but for you! You become stuck in the past. Bound to the offense. Restricted to victimhood. Not good!
🔥 Metaphysical Truth:
Here's the truth - there’s only one Mind. When you send an attack thought outward - "They should pay for what they did!", "I can't stand them",....That thought isn't going anywhere. It's staying right there within YOU. Shaping your experience of the world. It's time to wake up and realize we can't give what we don't have. In order to give it - we must have it first. You give hatred, you got it first. We keep it.
But we choose to no longer self-hurt......
What Does It Look Like to Not Crucify Yourself Anymore?
Letting go of the story that keeps you in pain
Choosing peace over the need to be right
Forgiving—not for them, but to set yourself free
This is radical love. And this is how you come home to yourself.
💡 Today’s Practice:
When a blame thought rises, ask yourself:
“Do I want to be right… or do I want to be free?” "What can I do to love myself in this moment and not play victim?"
Then breathe. Let it go. Return to peace.
You don’t need to crucify yourself with old pain. You can choose a different teacher today. You can choose Love.
✨ Wherever you are on your journey, there’s a space for you in this sacred community of truth, healing, and remembrance.
