Where is God When Disaster and Misfortune Strike? | ✨ A Course in Miracles

"God did not create a meaningless world." – A Course in Miracles Workbook, Lesson 14

What if the distress we feel about the world’s horrors isn’t rooted in divine creation but in the ego’s projection of fear and separation? 

In this episode of Love & Learn, we explore Lesson 14 from A Course in Miracles Workbook, diving into the discomfort and resistance that arises when faced with letting go of deeply ingrained meanings. 

Key Insights on Lesson 14:

1. God’s Creations Are Eternal: This lesson reminds us that what is real and meaningful is eternal and unchanging. Anything that causes fear or distress stems from the ego’s illusions. By repeating today’s mantra—“God did not create a meaningless world”—we affirm that divine truth is not shaped by the fleeting or painful aspects of the physical world.

2. Letting Go of Meaningless Thoughts: When distressing thoughts arise, they often stem from the meanings we have projected onto the world, reinforced by collective socialization and indoctrination. This lesson teaches us to observe these thoughts, label them as illusions, and release their hold on us, opening the way for divine love and peace to flow in.

3. Practicing Specificity and Awareness: With eyes closed, bring to mind a specific fear or distressing situation.

• State clearly: “God did not create [specific situation], and so it is not real.”
• Repeat: “God did not create a meaningless world.”
• This practice helps us confront our personal and collective “repertory of horrors” with compassion and detachment, reinforcing the truth of God’s eternal love.

Resistance is natural—observe it without judgment and return to the practice when ready.
