Let’s be honest—We think it’s what they did that’s hurting us. But ACIM Lesson 198 says:
“Only my condemnation injures me.”
You’re not suffering from their actions.
You’re suffering from your mental replay of what it meant.
🔮 Metaphysical Law: What You Extend, You Receive
This lesson is based on spiritual cause-and-effect:
Judge others → feel judged
Withhold forgiveness → block your own peace
Extend love → experience freedom
You think you’re punishing them, but you’re imprisoning yourself.
🧠Projection + Distorted Thinking
Judgment often isn’t about what actually happened.
It’s about what you believed it meant.
That’s projection.
“They always leave.”
“This means I’m not enough.”
“No one is safe.”
That’s not truth. That’s your story.
🧘🏾♀️ Practice:
Call one person to mind you’ve been judging. Say to yourself:
“Only my condemnation injures me.” “I set them free, and I set myself free.”
📝 Journal Prompt:
Who am I still holding in judgment?
What do I believe it protects me from?
What could I experience if I let it go?
💬 Affirmation:
“I release the judgment I thought I needed. I reclaim the peace I thought I lost. Love is my healing.”
Let it go. Not for them—for you.
