Today’s teaching is a powerful unraveling of the Illusion. A Course in Miracles invites us to see that the thoughts we think we’re thinking… are not real. They are shadows. Echoes. Conditioned impressions layered over pure consciousness.
This isn’t to shame the mind—but to free it.
The truth? Most of our thoughts are not based in love - or truth. They’re recycled patterns, old programs, loops of fear disguised as logic.
Our thoughts are far less stable than we believe. The forgetting curve, first introduced by German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus, reveals that we forget approximately 50% of new information within an hour, and up to 90% within a week, unless it is deliberately reinforced. Memory, once thought to be a reliable record of reality, is now understood as a reconstructive, highly malleable process—constantly edited by emotion, expectation, and context.
And when we realize our thoughts mean nothing, we begin to feel a spaciousness.A softness.A silence.
This is where the miracle begins. In the space where meaning is emptied… so that true vision can be restored.
Repeat throughout the day:✨ These thoughts do not mean anything. They are like the things I see in this room. ✨
We are unlearning the false to remember the true.
