You’re never upset for the reason you think! This is Lesson #5 in A Course in Miracles. For many of us it’s a real favorite because it’s SO helpful.
It helps if you’re willing to apply it. It helps if you’re willing to make a masterful inquiry into the reason why you’re feeling upset.
What I’ve learned is:
Whenever I judge someone, I feel upset.
Whenever I choose separation rather than Love, I feel upset.
Whenever I choose to think thoughts of limitation and lack, I feel upset.
Whenever I choose to believe that I’m separate from God, from you, from them, from anyone, I feel upset.
Why would I blame others for my upset when I’m the one choosing the thought of separation rather than Love? Blaming others only makes me more upset because in my heart, I KNOW there are NO others!
Because I’m interested in peace, I’ve decided not to upset myself anymore.
I AM choosing Love and I remember that Love has already chosen me!
