Subject: Your Body Isn't Your Enemy - A Course in Miracles Insights - Updates 11/29/25

November 29, 2025

Hello, My Mighty Companion,

The ego has a loud voice when it comes to the body. It tells you that pain is punishment, that symptoms mean you're in danger, and that your value goes down as your appearance changes. That fear creates pressure to fix, manage, or control everything you feel. But A Course in Miracles invites a different perspective. It teaches that the body isn’t your identity. It isn’t the enemy. It’s a classroom, a space where your thoughts are reflected back to you, not to shame you, but to show you what you’ve been valuing and what you’re ready to release.

In Lesson 155, the Course says, “I will step back and let Him lead the way.” That includes how you interpret what’s happening in your body. Guidance doesn’t come from panic. It comes when you step back, pause, and ask, “Holy Spirit, how would You have me see this?” And Lesson 325 reminds us that “All things I think I see reflect ideas.” If the body is showing you something, it’s not random. It’s not personal. It’s feedback. It’s the curriculum of the moment, and Spirit will use it to teach you love if you let It.

If you’ve been overwhelmed by a health concern, feeling self-critical about your body, or afraid of what something might mean, consider this. Maybe there’s nothing to fight. Maybe this is just the next part of your learning. Healing doesn’t begin with fixing the body. It begins with shifting the mind. You are not your symptoms. You are not your fear. You are the student in a loving classroom. And your inner Teacher is very gentle.

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

Step Back, Release Ego's Control & Let God Lead | ACIM Lesson 155 (Part 2)

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.

Step Back and
Let God Lead: Applying the Course in Real Life

Let me tell you the truth about why I teach this stuff over and over again. It’s because there’s a part of us, the part we call the ego, that doesn’t want to hear it, doesn’t want to do it, and certainly doesn’t want to give up control. So what do we do? We repeat it. That’s how the Course says we learn, through repetition.

In this class, I’m talking about Lesson 155: “I will step back and let Him lead the way.” And listen, I know. On paper that sounds beautiful. But in practice? Whew. That brings up everything. The ego doesn’t like stepping back. It tells you that if you don’t take control, everything is going to fall apart.

And that’s the first lie we’ve got to stop believing. That surrender is loss.

Control Is Fake Safety

I used to think that if I let go, especially in relationships, money, or my health, I was opening myself up to being abandoned, broke, or powerless. But here’s what the Course helped me see. Control is the ego’s fake version of safety. Real safety comes from following guidance.

🌕 Full Moon in Gemini: From Insight to Clear Direction

This week brings a noticeable shift in momentum. With Mercury and Saturn both stationing direct, the energy begins to move from inward reflection to forward momentum. Where you may have felt foggy, stuck, or unsure over the last few weeks, a sense of clarity may now return. Decisions become easier. Communication becomes clearer. It's a powerful moment to take thoughtful action rooted in what you’ve been learning.

The Full Moon in Gemini on Thursday illuminates the mental landscape. Conversations, ideas, and connections come to the forefront. Gemini wants to explore and express. The Sagittarius Sun, on the other hand, asks us to rise above the details and connect with a deeper vision. Together, they challenge us to balance logic with wisdom, to speak clearly, but not without heart.

If you’ve been holding something in, this Full Moon could open the door for honest expression. If you’ve been waiting to make a move, you may feel the energy shift toward movement. Clarity doesn't always come with all the answers, but this week, it comes with enough light to take the next step.
