Into His Presence | June 23, 2026 | Lesson 174 from A Course in Miracles

Send Hope a Text“I’m not there yet” can sound humble, even spiritual, but we think it often hides a deeper choice: postponement. We take Review Lesson 174 from A Course in Miracles and bring it down to a single foundation that keeps repeating because it’s the only one that matters: “God is but love, and therefore so am I.” When we treat the Workbook as information to master, we miss what it’s for. This review points us away from concept-hoarding and toward direct experience, where fewer words and more quiet practice start to do the real work.From there we lean into Lesson 157, “Into His Presence Would I Enter Now,” as a practical rebellion against the ego’s favourite strategy. The ego demands a timeline, a process, and proof you’ve earned peace. The Course answers with the holy instant: if your identity is love, then God’s presence is not a prize at the end of self-improvement. It is available now, the moment you stop giving meaning to the thoughts that argue you are unworthy, unsafe, or separate.Then we connect Lesson 158, “Today I Learn To Give As I Receive,” to everyday life where the teaching either becomes real or stays theoretical. We explore how giving is not people-pleasing or material sacrifice, but the extension of innocence, peace, and forgiveness especially when annoyance, conflict, or fear shows up. Relationships, scarcity thoughts, and even big world triggers become the classroom: when we “give” truth, we realise we’ve already received it.If you want practical spirituality, real-time forgiveness practice, and a grounded way to stop delaying peace, press play and sit with the phrases in quiet.
