Lesson 338: I Am Affected Only By My Thoughts.

🌟 A Course in Miracles (ACIM) Daily Lessons & Insights with Hope Johnson

Send Hope a Text

What if the most liberating truth is also the simplest: I am affected only by my thoughts. We read Lesson 338 from A Course in Miracles with Hope Johnson and use it as a doorway from fear to love, from projection to peace. Instead of rehearsing the old script—blaming the world, the news, or the past—we take a clear, compassionate look at cause and effect and place cause back where it belongs: in the mind.
We unpack how victimhood dissolves the moment we recognize that our thoughts, not circumstances, generate our feelings. That recognition is not about blaming ourselves; it is about reclaiming the power to change. You will hear how to spot the subtle move from they hurt me to I frighten myself, why you cannot follow fear and love at the same time, and how to consciously exchange fear thoughts for loving ones. Hope reframes the crucifixion as a symbol of self-attack and shows how redemption unfolds when we see separation as a dream and choose peace instead.
To make this real, we share a simple daily rhythm: a morning practice that affirms inner safety, an all-day check-in that invites love to replace mistaken beliefs, and an evening review that proves to the mind that thought precedes feeling. As projection withdraws, the world appears softer because perception follows healed thinking. The ego insists you are at the mercy of the world; the Holy Spirit reminds you the world is at the mercy of your thoughts. Let this conversation guide you toward the instant of recognition that only love is real and only your thoughts can touch you.
If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs relief today, and leave a review to help others find the practice. Then try the hourly reminder: “I am affected only by my thoughts,” and tell us what shifted for you.
