Lesson 281: I Can Be Hurt by Nothing but My Thoughts

Send Hope a Text

We explore Lesson 281 from A Course in Miracles, "I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts," revealing how our suffering comes from forgetting our divine identity rather than from external circumstances.

• Pain is always caused by our thoughts, not by outside events or people
• The cause of suffering is forgetting who we truly are
• Thoughts of unworthiness create the perception of being diminished by others
• When we rise in consciousness, relationships naturally shift
• Forgetting our divine identity is the root of all pain
• All judgment and grievance is self-harm, even when directed at others
• Our true self exists in perfect peace beyond all suffering
• Daily practice involves noticing painful thoughts and offering them for reinterpretation
• We are not fragile or vulnerable but "holy thoughts of God"

I no longer choose the thoughts that wound. Twice today, morning and evening, and every hour and any time hurt arises, remember: I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts.
