I used to be obsessed with revenge. The mental attraction to punishment, to bringing what I thought was “divine justice.”

But revenge never brought the satisfaction I craved. It never set me free.

A Course in Miracles teaches, “Come to someone else with righteousness. The unjust vengeance that you suffer now belongs to him. And when it rests on him, are you set free?” That’s the illusion—that getting revenge will free us.

What Redemption Really Means

Let me be clear about what redemption is NOT. It’s not someone being a sinner, then doing something to make up for it, and now they’re redeemed. That’s ego’s version.

True redemption is recognizing the wholeness, beauty, magnificence, and Christ light inherent in everyone.

It’s letting go of seeing anyone—including yourself—as unworthy, unlovable, or bad.

We’re redeemed in the mind. The sin seemed real in the mind, so redemption happens there too.

The Power of Witness

ACIM says, “The power of witness is beyond belief because it brings conviction in its wake.” When we witness healing in our lives, we see how powerful the mind is, how much transformation is possible.

What would you like to represent in this world?
Are you representing suffering and guilt?
Or healing and innocence?

Look at any illness or suffering you’re experiencing.
Are you holding in your mind that your sickness attests to someone else’s guilt?
That’s the pattern we need to heal.

Your Redemption Awaits

Think of the world’s “great civilizations” that pursued revenge—they aren’t doing so well. Look at current conflicts. If they continue these paths, the low vibration will manifest as more destruction.

But the good news? That effort to transform can be made. Right now.

In my Masterful Living Program, we learn to direct our minds toward redemption—for ourselves and others. Because true redemption comes through the power of love, not the pursuit of revenge.

Please take note:  I used to struggle, or maybe battle is the better descriptor, with obsessive-compulsive attack and defend thoughts that definitely included revenge in the form of arguing to win.  It was such a GIANT waste of my time, talent, energy and life.  It was exhausting.

If being free of that way of thinking were the ONLY benefit I’ve had from my spiritual practice, then every minute it of it would be worth it.  Whatever you plan to do with the rest of your life, make a strong and dedicated spiritual practice that is demonstrably effective an essential part of your life and you will ALWAYS be grateful you did.  I sure am.

LATEST ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: In this episode, How to Become the Spiritual Leader of Your Family I dive deep into Chapter 7 of A Course in Miracles, exploring how the extension of God’s love is our only function—we literally cannot contain the fullness of God, so we naturally share it! I share my personal journey from believing I was “fundamentally bad” and unworthy of joy, to discovering that judgment creates a split mind that blocks our joy and our function. The most beautiful revelation? I healed my entire family dynamic without talking about spirituality—no more awful arguments, just Peace—simply by doing my inner work. As we finish this nine-year numerology cycle, I’m inviting you to recognize that your willingness is all that’s required; your personality doesn’t have what it takes (and never could), but Spirit does, and Spirit only needs your willingness to extend love to everyone, everywhere, answering every cry for love including your own.
