I cannot be a victim of this world. Our mind is the mind of God.
Therefore, we cannot be victims of this world. We can’t.
It’s not possible. It’s just a trick of the mind to think that we’re victims.
Victim consciousness is extremely popular. It is so popular that people will absolutely try to coerce us into going along with it because they want everybody to think like them, right?
“Oh, look, I’m driving this car. Don’t you want to drive this car and validate my choice? Oh, I’m thinking this thought. Don’t you want to think this thought and validate my choice?”
Here’s what I’ve learned: We can say no to that invitation.
We don’t have to join in the victim story – even when everyone around us is telling it.
A Course in Miracles is so clear: “I am not the victim of the world I see.” (Workbook Lesson 31)
When we really get this, our life changes.
Not that the thought of victimhood never comes up – but it’s instantaneous that we notice it doesn’t feel good. And so we don’t hold on to it.
This way of living and thinking and being just gets stronger and stronger. And so there’s more happiness, more Peace, more Love, more Joy, more of the fullness of God’s infinite magnificence as our day-to-day experience.
Now, I wouldn’t say we’re living in La La Land. We’re very day-to-day – cooking the potatoes, walking the dog, shoveling the snow. But nothing feels like a burden anymore.
Some things feel like, “Oh, on one level I’d rather not have to deal with that.” But on another level, we know we’re going to bring benefit by dealing with it. So, yeah, we’ll deal with it. Because more Love will come. More Peace will come. More Joy will come.
And we’re interested in seeing just how wonderful this life can be.
That’s what we practice in my Masterful Living Program – recognizing we’re not victims, not of anything. And from that recognition, life becomes more beautiful than we ever imagined possible.
We can do this!
When we’re willing, Spirit leads us.

NEW ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: The Christmas Darkness That Haunted Me for 40 Years in this episode of A Course in Miracles: Living the Love, Walking the Talk, I share something too personal for my daily blog—how Christmas brought crushing darkness for 40 years until last winter’s breakthrough. From my morning in Maine, I reveal the 1985 trauma I finally connected to this pattern and the surprising Chapter 31 principle that dissolved it. You’ll discover why I’m experiencing the reverse this December and the misunderstood truth about “100% responsibility” that changes everything. If holidays haunt you, this holds unexpected keys.
