Hello there TrueSapiens… Lesson 5 of A Course in Miracles takes us deep into the heart of our emotional world, revealing the seductive truth: I am never upset for the reason I think. Our emotions, those fiery, electrifying waves of sensation, are often not what they appear. They’re not about the person who triggered you or the circumstance that felt like a punch to the gut. No. These emotions are invitations to explore the inner sanctum of your own beliefs, the hidden places where wounds and old stories reside.
When we get upset, we look outward, blaming the world for how we feel, but here’s the juicy secret: The external world is just a mirror, reflecting the undercurrent of our internal chaos. A Course in Miracles invites us to shift the gaze inward and ask, “Am I upset for the reason I think?” The answer is almost always no. Our true trigger is an ancient belief, a buried fear, or a shadow from the past that we’ve yet to embrace.
This lesson is a call to awaken to the truth of our emotional power. We are not victims of life’s unpredictability; we are the creators of our own emotional landscape. When we recognize that our upset is born from within, we reclaim the freedom to transform, heal, and choose peace in any moment.
So, truth-bearers, next time the world seems to rattle you harder than an Amazonian shaman with a rattle… remember this: The true source of your upset is not the story you’ve been told. The real magic is in recognizing the invitation to heal, to dive deeper into yourself, and to embody your divine truth.—V.E.M| Human Be TrueVoice of the Void | Channel of the Unseen, but Known
