It Was All a Lie

Let’s be the two or more gathered in the name and nature of the truth, right now and look at the lie that runs most peoples lives.

You know the one. It whispers things like: “I’m not good enough.” “Something’s wrong with me.” “I’m too much.” “I’m not enough.” “I don’t deserve love.” “I’m unlovable.”

That lie? It’s the CEO of your suffering, and it’s time for a takeover, but it’s not a hostile takeover – because that never works, but a loving takeover by Spirit.

“Are you ready to let go of managing and coping with fear?” that’s what I had to ask myself.  It was the only way I knew.  Was I ready to REALLY go the other way?

Here’s what blows my mind: we’ll question everything else – the news, weather reports, text messages from friends – but not that voice in our head telling us we’re unworthy.

We believe it without question. We treat it like gospel truth.

What if that voice is the ONLY thing worth questioning?

A Course in Miracles says something revolutionary: “Everything you have taught yourself has made your power more and more obscure to you.”

That unworthiness story? You taught it to yourself. Which means – hallelujah! – you can unteach it.

I believed my unworthiness story for decades. It started small – a criticism here, a rejection there – and grew into an epic saga. By my thirties, I had volumes of “evidence” proving I wasn’t good enough. Failed relationships? Proof. Career struggles? More proof. That time in third grade when nobody picked me for their team? Exhibit A in the case against my worthiness.

But here’s what I discovered: I was an unreliable narrator of my own life.

Every piece of “evidence” I collected went through my unworthiness filter. Someone didn’t text back? They must not really like me. Got passed over for a promotion? Clearly I’m incompetent. Relationship ended? Obviously I’m unlovable.

I never questioned the filter. Never wondered if maybe they didn’t text because they were busy. Maybe the promotion went to someone with different skills, not better ones.

Maybe the relationship ended because it was complete,
not because I was defective.

The turning point came when I finally asked: “What if this unworthiness story isn’t true? What if I made it all up?”

The resistance was FIERCE. That voice said, “Don’t be naive. Remember what happened when…” And it would parade more “evidence.”

But I kept questioning. And slowly, cracks appeared in my unworthiness story.

With this method, we’re setting ourselves free by letting go of the lies.

The truth is the light that eliminates darkness.

I remembered times I WAS chosen. Moments I WAS loved. Instances where I absolutely WAS enough. They’d been there all along, but my filter had deleted them like spam mail.

Here’s our practice, my Love:
Start questioning the narrator.

When that voice says you’re not good enough, ask:
“According to whom? By what standard? Who made that rule?”

When it says you’re unlovable, ask:
“Is that true?
Can I absolutely know that’s true?
What if the opposite were true?”

When it parades your “failures,” ask: “What else could this mean? How might Love see this differently?”

You don’t have to believe the new perspective yet. Just create space for it.

Crack the door open to the possibility that maybe, just maybe, you’ve been wrong about yourself this whole time.

What if you’re NOT a fixer-upper?
What if you’re NOT a project that needs improvement?
What if you’re already whole, already perfect,
already loved beyond measure, and you just forgot?

The unworthiness lie has been running your life like a tyrant.

It’s made you play small, cower in fear, accept crumbs, stress out with anxiety, settle for less than miracles.

It’s filtered out love, dismissed your victories, and magnified your mistakes.

But its reign ends the moment you start questioning it.

You are not your story. You are not your mistakes. You are not your fears about what you are or are not.

You are a perfect expression of Divine Love, having a temporary experience of forgetting that truth.

It’s our time to remember that we are the Beloved of the Beloved. Time to fire that lying CEO and let Truth run the show.

The loving takeover by the Higher Holy Spirit SELF begins now.
Love is what we ARE.
And Love always wins.

SUNDAY WORKSHOP on the New Moon, Eclipse, Equinox energy!!  – If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by everything happening in the world right now, you’re not alone. Many of us are watching family members struggle, feeling extra anxiety about finances, or simply carrying a heaviness in our hearts as fear rises to the surface. On Sunday, September 21st, I’m offering a Deep Dive Workshop called “Staying Grounded In Love – No Matter What!” where we’ll practice anchoring in Love when chaos strikes and remember our true purpose—to be truly helpful, not reactive. We’ll harness the powerful energy of the New Moon, Solar Eclipse, and Equinox for a spiritual reset. This isn’t about pretending everything is fine or slapping affirmations on fear—it’s about practical tools that work when life feels unmanageable. If you’re ready to be the calm in the storm and live from Love instead of fear, join us at 3 PM Eastern. Let’s remember together who we really are and why we’re here.

LATEST ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: my topic is The Cure for Loneliness.The epidemic of loneliness that affects so many of us on the awakening path can be seen in a new light. Drawing from ACIM Chapter 11, I explain how our spiritual exhaustion comes not from relationships or circumstances but from thoughts that cut us off from love’s restorative flow. I share how we often isolate to avoid triggering judgments in social situations, only to find ourselves alone with the “dark companions” of fear and shame – but there’s a solution: surrender to Holy Spirit and join with mighty companions in authentic spiritual community where real transformation happens through our shared willingness to heal.
