Subject: Before you make another resolution, read this - A Course in Miracles Insights - Updates 1/2/26

January 2, 2026

Hello, My Mighty Companion,

So many people start the year full of good intentions. Resolutions. Goals. A plan to finally get it right. And by the end of January, most of that energy has already started to fade. Not because people don’t care or aren’t serious — but because most of us are taught to make change from the belief that something’s wrong with us. That’s not true. In this week’s class, I focused on A Course in Miracles Lesson 94, “I am as God created me.” That’s not just a concept. It’s your foundation. You were created perfect, whole, and innocent. That hasn’t changed. You don’t have to improve to be loved. You just have to remember who you are.

As we move into 2026, that remembering is going to matter more than ever. This year carries strong energy for big change — both astrologically and numerologically. It’s what we call a 10 year, a reset point, but on a higher level. That can bring real momentum, but also real shakeups. Old patterns that you’ve outgrown will become harder to carry. Roles you’ve been playing may not fit anymore. Life is going to ask for alignment — not perfection, not performance, but truth.

If you’re feeling that, this is a powerful time to go deeper. A Clarity Session is a way to see what’s really unfolding in your life and how to respond from a place of purpose. It’s also an opportunity to look at how the Course applies to what you’re going through right now. And if you’re ready to go further, I invite you to work with me more closely. I offer coaching & mentorship for students who want to live these teachings, not just study them. You don’t need to be fixed. You just need to be reminded of your value. I’d be honored to support you in doing that.

If you’re feeling the pull to go deeper, the Mighty Companions Miracle Community is here for you. Members receive a weekly Study Guide Journal, the ACIM Language of Love Glossary, unlisted YouTube playlists, and invitations to members-only workshops. Extended opportunity - due to technical challenges, we're offering one more week of the $97 Lifetime Membership. Starting January 10, annual membership will be $108. Because we’re creating a strong, stable container for real transformation, monthly membership is not offered. This community is for devoted A Course in Miracles students who are ready to commit to the journey — not just visit it temporarily. We’re building something lasting, and that requires presence, not just participation.

Please come out and join the community.

Sunday at 1:00 pm MST.
Unity Temple | 1555 Race Street, Denver
(Doors open at 12:30 PM)

If you can't join in person, join us on Facebook Live and YouTube Live

We meet to remember that no one walks the way alone.

With love and appreciation,
Earl

The Ego Becomes Irrelevant When the Truth of Love Is Accepted | ACIM Lesson 94 | Earl Purdy

Enter the Year with Clear Intention

As we begin a new year, this is the time to pause and pay attention to what life has been showing you. Patterns don’t repeat to punish. They repeat to reveal. The more clearly you see them now, the more ease you’ll experience as things begin to shift.

2026 brings strong momentum for change. Not chaos, but clarity. But only if you’re willing to release what no longer fits. From a numerology perspective, it’s a 10 year. Not just a new beginning, but one that comes after experience and learning. A chance to start again from a higher level of awareness.

If you’re ready to get clear about what you’re building next and how to move forward from alignment instead of exhaustion, now is the time. A Clarity Session offers real space for that, along with a deeper application of Course principles to what’s unfolding in your life right now.

Here are ways we can keep growing together:

Thank you for walking this journey with me.

True Self-Love Means Accepting the Divine Truth About Yourself

If you’ve been trying to improve yourself spiritually or working hard to fix what you think is broken inside, this is your reminder: there’s nothing wrong with you. You’re not broken. You’re not behind. And you don’t need fixing.

True self-love starts the moment you stop trying to change yourself into something better. According to A Course in Miracles, Lesson 94 says: “I am as God created me.” That means you are already whole. Already worthy. Already love.

What is true self-love and why doesn’t it require fixing yourself?

The world tells us that self-love is about affirmations, boundaries, bubble baths, or building confidence. Those things are fine, but they’re not the real deal. Real self-love isn’t a feeling. It’s a fact. It's the truth about who you are, underneath all the stories and struggles and fears.

And here’s the truth: You are as love created you. Not someday. Not once you’ve healed. Right now.

So why don’t we always feel that way? Because we’ve forgotten. That’s all. We forgot the truth and believed the ego instead.

What does it mean to accept the truth about yourself?

The Course tells us that self-love isn’t something you achieve. It’s something you accept. Self-love is not a feeling. It’s a fact. It’s the divine truth of your being.

✨ Astrological Insight: Creating Clarity for the New Year

The first days of 2026 carry strong energy for reflection, direction, and emotional honesty. We’re stepping into a Universal Year 1, which means a new cycle is beginning. January 1 opens a 1-1-1 portal, and that kind of alignment brings momentum. But momentum without clarity can turn into pressure. This is a time to slow down, set clear intention, and let Spirit lead the way.

On January 3, a Full Moon in Cancer brings emotion to the surface. Cancer energy brings us inward, back to what feels like home and what we’ve been carrying. You might notice old emotional patterns rising. That doesn’t mean anything is wrong. It just means something is ready to be seen and released.

At the same time, several planets are gathered in Capricorn, asking us to commit to what matters. Not out of force, but out of focus. Capricorn helps us get serious about what we’re building, but that only works when it’s rooted in what’s real. Take your time. You don’t need to rush to figure it all out. Just stay honest about what’s working and what isn’t.

The energy this week is about clearing space. Emotionally. Mentally. Energetically. Make room for what you want to grow.
