“When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter.”
These words from A Course in Miracles used to feel like pressure to me. Now I see them as pure freedom.
I confess—I don’t carry this awareness into every encounter yet. I’d like to, and I’m setting that intention. I carry kindness, compassion, generosity of heart. But taking it as “ah, this is a holy encounter, this is my chance”—that’s what I’m working toward.
Your Power and Glory Are in Them
Here’s what the Course teaches that inspires me: “Your power and glory are in him because they are yours.” The ego tries to find power and glory in yourself alone because it doesn’t know where to look.
Higher Holy Spirit Self teaches us something radical:
If you look only at yourself,
you cannot find yourself
because that is not what you are.
We are one with all.
We are one with the all in all.
I had to go back to the unity, the oneness of all life, to find what I was looking for.
The Prescription for Waking Up
We say we’d like to wake up from the dream of separation. Here’s the clear prescription: Whenever you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. As you see him, you will see yourself. As you treat him, you will treat yourself. As you think of him, you will think of yourself.
Never forget this. For in him, you will find yourself or lose yourself.
Our Practice This Week
Every encounter—the barista, the challenging coworker, the family member who pushes your buttons—is another chance at salvation.
Not because they need saving, but because in recognizing their holiness, we remember our own.
“Whenever two Sons of God meet, they are given another chance at salvation.”

LATEST ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: In this episode, God Doesn’t Punish You (You Do),I reveal how the belief that God punishes us is completely false—it’s our own projection of guilt and shame that creates all punishment in our lives. I share my decades-long pattern of using alcohol, food, and other self-destructive behaviors to keep myself feeling guilty and reinforce the belief that I was fundamentally bad and sinful, a pattern I finally recognized came from centuries of religious teaching about being unworthy sinners. Through A Course in Miracles teachings from Chapter 3 and Lesson 189, I explain the “law of seeing”—that we perceive outside what we feel inside, so when we feel God’s love within us, we see a loving world, but when we feel self-hatred, we see only fear. As we complete this 9-year cycle, I’m inviting everyone to join me in releasing these ancient patterns of guilt and self-punishment before we begin fresh in 2026.
