Subject: Break the Illusion of Ego Control - A Course in Miracles Insights - Updates 11/21/25

November 21, 2025

Hello, My Mighty Companion,

The ego loves to pretend it’s in charge. It wants to be the planner, the fixer, the one who makes things happen. And for a while, it looks like it’s working, until exhaustion sets in. That’s when we realize control isn’t power, it’s pressure. The Course teaches that the ego’s control is an illusion. You can’t guide what you don’t understand, and the part of you that’s afraid doesn’t understand anything real. Spirit does. Spirit doesn’t take your power away; it frees it from fear.

When we stop trying to control outcomes, we start to experience guidance. Life begins to move through us instead of against us. What was once a struggle becomes a flow. If you’ve been feeling tired from managing everything, maybe it’s time to break the illusion that you were ever meant to. Peace doesn’t come from control; it comes from trust.

If you’re looking for deeper support, the Mighty Companions Miracle Community is a space for those walking this path together.

Stop Controlling Everything: Let Spirit Take the Lead | A Course in Miracles Lesson 155

Closing the Year with Clarity

As we come into the final months of the year, this is the moment to pause and look at what the year has shown us. Every shift, every pattern, every breakthrough is guidance if we’re willing to see it. And the clearer we get now, the stronger we walk into what’s ahead.

I’ll be straight with you: 2026 is going to be a doozy. Not something to fear, but something to prepare for. It’s a year that’s going to ask more of your awareness, your willingness, and your commitment to peace. That’s why now is the time to deepen your insight and clear out what you don’t want to carry forward.

I’m here to help you do that. Everything I offer is meant to strengthen your connection to your Inner Teacher and help you choose peace faster and more consistently.

Here are ways we can keep growing together:

Thank you for walking this journey with me.

Stop Controlling Everything:
Let Spirit Take the Lead

For those of us who’ve been on the spiritual path a while, the temptation to manage everything ourselves is strong. Even with the best intentions, we often end up trying to control life, fix people, and figure things out through sheer effort. And yet, if we’re honest, it rarely brings us peace.

A Course in Miracles offers us a different approach in Lesson 155:
“I will step back and let Him lead the way.”

This isn’t just a spiritual suggestion. It’s a practical instruction for how to end the cycle of stress, fear, and separation.

There’s a Better Way — And It’s Not Yours

In the lesson, the Course outlines three distinct paths:

Those who reject the world but still secretly believe it’s real — and suffer because of it.
Those who chase only the world, relying solely on what they can see, touch, and control — and suffer even more.
And then there’s a third path, the path we’re on. A path led by Spirit. A path where we step back and allow the Truth, Love, or God within us to take the lead

🌕 Cosmic Reflection: The Sky’s Invitation to Surrender
(November 21-28, 25)

This week, Spirit gives us a cosmic mirror. The Sun moves into Sagittarius, calling us out of Scorpio’s deep waters of control and into the freedom of trust. The ego wants to manage what it feels, to dig, fix, and figure it all out, but this sky reminds us that revelation doesn’t come from control. It comes from release. The Scorpio New Moon just cracked something open in you, and now the Sag light says: let it breathe. You don’t have to understand the transformation. You only have to allow it.

The grand water trine continues to ripple through the cosmos until mid-December 2025, bringing a wave of emotional clarity and spiritual flow. You may feel everything more deeply this week—joy, grief, tenderness, even relief. Don’t resist it. Emotion is movement. What rises now is being released, not renewed.

Jupiter expands the emotional field so you can see love’s possibilities more clearly. Saturn adds grounding and structure, helping your insights take practical form instead of washing away in waves of feeling. Neptune opens the spiritual current, softening boundaries and inviting forgiveness, imagination, and communion with higher truth. Together they create a rhythm between faith, form, and flow—Spirit’s perfect choreography for healing.

Mercury remains retrograde in Scorpio through November 29, stirring up inner conversations, emotional reviews, and opportunities to rewrite old stories before speaking new ones. Saturn stations direct in Pisces on November 27 and will continue in this sign until February 2026. Its message is simple: integrate what you’ve learned and begin to move with purpose again.

When emotions swell or uncertainty rises, remember this simple truth: You don’t have to know the way. Love already does.
