April’s Theme:
Seeing Differently: The Miracle of Perception
April invites us to explore the profound shift in perception that occurs when we choose to see through the lens of the Holy Spirit rather than the ego. A Course in Miracles reminds us that “Perception selects, and makes the world you see.” Through this month’s exploration, we will practice taking responsibility for our perception, recognizing that how we see the world is a reflection of the choices we make in our mind.
Week 1: Perception is a Choice: Taking ResponsibilityKey Idea: You are not the victim of the world you see—you are responsible for your perception. By accepting this, you reclaim your power and open the way for miracles.
This week, we are invited into a profound teaching that can feel both empowering and challenging: You are responsible for what you see. At first glance, this may seem overwhelming. Does this mean I’ve caused all the pain and chaos in my life? Not in the way the ego would have you believe. It’s not about blame—it’s about choice. What Jesus is telling us here is that we always have a choice in how we perceive what’s happening. We can see with the ego—through fear, judgment, guilt—or we can choose the vision of the Holy Spirit, which sees only love, innocence, and unity.
This week’s guided meditation, “Choosing to See Differently ” we find ourselves in a doorway with the ego’s perception on one side and the other is the Holy Spirit’s. The link to the meditation is included in the study guide PDF download available on our website and is shared at the start of the Sunday study group session.
