Meeting at Namaste Village | Lesson 234 From A Course in Miracles

Send us a text

Hope Johnson guides us through a profound exploration of ACIM Lesson 234 – "Father, today I am your son again" – inviting us to remember our true identity beyond the illusions of this world. This seemingly simple declaration opens a gateway to understanding our unbroken connection with the Divine.

The conversation unfolds around a radical perspective: nothing we perceive in this world can disturb our peace unless we allow it to. When feelings of regret or unworthiness arise, Hope suggests an immediate pivot toward gratitude rather than dwelling in sorrow. This shift isn't spiritual bypassing but rather a recognition that beneath every experience lies an opportunity to remember who we truly are – perfect extensions of God's love.

One of the most liberating insights shared is about releasing our need for others' approval. Many of us unconsciously structure our relationships around validation-seeking, creating cycles of dependency and disappointment. Hope offers a refreshing alternative: "Don't try to get other people to see you differently. You want to see them differently." When we stop making others responsible for our sense of worthiness, our relationships transform from possession to freedom.

The discussion takes a fascinating turn when participants share mystical experiences of light and oneness, glimpses beyond the veil of separation. These experiences point to what the Course describes as "the holy peace we never left" – the reality that exists beneath our dream of exile. As one participant realizes, even her concern for leaving loved ones behind dissolves in the recognition that "all the children of God, all the sons of God, we will be there, connected in that light of happiness."

This episode doesn't shy away from addressing how we can extend forgiveness to seemingly "unforgivable" acts in the world. Hope challenges us to recognize that maintaining any exceptions to forgiveness keeps us bound to the very separation we seek to transcend. The pathway out of suffering isn't through fixing the world but through changing how we see it – recognizing everything as either love or a call for love.

Join us for this transformative conversation that illuminates the journey from the dream world of separation to the real world of unity consciousness, and ultimately to eternity beyond all form. Your peace is waiting to be reclaimed, right now.
