Subject: What “My Salvation Comes From Me” Means for Your Peace (ACIM W-70) | Earl Purdy

April 18, 2026

Hello Mighty Companion,

“My salvation comes from me” can sound like a big spiritual statement at first. But when you let it become practical, it begins to change the way you look at peace, happiness, and where you think healing comes from.

In A Course in Miracles, salvation can be understood as peace, forgiveness, innocence, and happiness. So this lesson is not pointing you toward some outside rescue. It is pointing you back to the mind and asking you to consider that what you are seeking may not be outside you at all.

That is what makes this idea so helpful. Instead of waiting for other people to change, circumstances to improve, or life to finally settle down, you begin to question the belief that peace depends on any of those things.

This teaching opens the door to a very different kind of freedom. It invites you to notice how often you look outside yourself for relief, and how gently you can begin to bring your attention back within.

As you sit with this teaching, you may find that real change comes through steady practice, shared reflection, and a place to keep returning when old patterns come up. That is what the Annual Membership offers. These member-only resources include live gatherings, weekly Study Guide Journals, unlisted ACIM playlists, the Language of Love Glossary, and exclusive workshops to support you in applying the Course and experiencing more peace now.

There won't be A Course in Miracles Class on April 19. Join us in person on April 26.

Sundays 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

With love and appreciation,
Earl

How to Find Inner Peace: My Happiness Comes From Me | A Course in Miracles Lesson 70 | Earl Purdy

On the LIGHT side

When something in your life feels stuck, your first impulse may be to push harder, fix it, or figure out how to force a change. But the real shift does not come from strain. It begins when you start to discover the light of who you are. As that light comes into your awareness, you begin to see differently, respond differently, and open to possibilities that were hidden when you were looking through fear, confusion, or self-doubt.

A Clarity Session is a focused conversation where we gently look together at what feels heavy, unclear, or blocked, so you can begin to uncover the light that is already present in you. As your perception shifts, even a little, you may find that what seemed impossible starts to soften. What changes first is not always the situation. What changes first is your awareness, and that change in awareness begins to illuminate a new way forward.

For those of you who want to go deeper, coaching and mentoring offer ongoing support in living from that light more consistently through the teachings of A Course in Miracles. This is where insight becomes practice and where remembering the truth about yourself begins to shape your daily experience. With more than 50 years of studying and living these teachings, I bring that experience into each conversation.

Here are ways we can keep growing together:

Thank you for walking this journey with me.

How to Find Inner Peace: The True Meaning of Salvation (ACIM)

In Lesson 70 of A Course in Miracles, you are told, “My salvation comes from me.” That overturns the ego’s whole strategy, because the ego wants you to believe that something outside you will fix you, complete you, or make you happy.

A Course in Miracles defines salvation as forgiveness, innocence, peace, and happiness. So if your salvation comes from you, then your peace comes from you too. How to find inner peace starts there, with the recognition that your mind shapes your experience more than the world does.

Why You Cannot Find Peace Outside Yourself

Most people look for happiness in relationships, money, work, approval, bodies, or outcomes. That search keeps you chasing peace everywhere except the place where it can actually be found.

Lesson 70 reverses that pattern. Your peace is in your mind, your happiness is in your mind, and your innocence is in your mind, so “nowhere else” is not a loss. It is a relief.

When you ask how to find inner peace, you are usually trying to solve an inner problem by rearranging outer conditions. This lesson tells you to stop searching outside and start noticing what your mind is doing.

What this lesson asks you to remember:

Your happiness does not come from other people.
Your guilt does not come from the outside world.
Your peace is in your mind.
Your healing appears where the problem appears.
Your salvation does not depend on changing the world first.

✨ Astrology: Bold Moves, Grounded Choices

This week carries a strong Aries charge. Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and Neptune are all in Aries, while the Sun remains in Aries on April 18 and then enters Taurus on April 19, shifting the tone from urgency and action toward steadiness, embodiment, and what can actually hold.

On April 18, Mercury sextile Pluto supports deeper thinking, more honest conversations, and the ability to get to the heart of something quickly. Around April 20, Mercury moves into a tight alignment with Saturn and Mars in Aries, which can make communication sharper, faster, and more decisive, but also more pressured if you rush.

Late on April 23, Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus brings a different kind of movement. This can show up as a surprise in relationships, money, values, or creative direction. It feels liberating and alive, but not especially predictable, so it is better to stay open than to force certainty.

The deeper theme of the week is courage with restraint. Aries wants direct action, clear speech, and forward motion, while Taurus asks whether the next step is sustainable, grounded, and real. That makes this a strong week for initiative, honest choices, and breaking old hesitation without confusing speed with wisdom.
