Summary
"What I See Is a Form of Vengeance." – A Course in Miracles Workbook, Lesson 22
Where in your life do you feel like the world or someone else is against you?
In this episode of Love & Learn, we explore Lesson 22 from A Course in Miracles Workbook, which teaches that the way we see the world is a direct reflection of our own inner fears and attack thoughts. The word vengeance comes from the Latin vindicare, meaning to punish or claim justice—but in spiritual truth, the only thing being punished is ourselves when we hold onto attack thoughts.
Key Insights from Lesson 22
1. We Project What We Fear: If you believe the world is harsh and unforgiving, you will find proof of it everywhere. Our perception is not neutral—it reinforces what we already expect.
2. The Vicious Cycle of Attack Thoughts: When we see the world as full of threats, we live in defense mode, which fuels more conflict and suffering. This lesson invites us to break the cycle.
3. There’s a Way Out: The most freeing truth of this lesson is that what we fear does not actually exist—except in our minds. By choosing to see differently, we reclaim our peace.
By practicing this lesson with openness, we begin to release the illusion of attack and step into a reality shaped by love instead of fear.
Press play to explore how shifting your perception can free you from resentment, conflict, and the weight of seeing the world through a lens of vengeance.

| 0:13.0 | I'm your healing friend and host, Jessica Flint. If you're like me, you know what it's like to carry a trauma-shaped hole in your heart, a longing to |
| 0:22.0 | be held, cherished, valued, and adored. Over the years, you may have tried to fill it with |
| 0:27.6 | relationships, work, alcohol, weed, diets, you name it. Together on Love and Learn, we're |
| 0:33.1 | healing core wounds of unworthiness, powerlessness, and shame, and discovering new depths of self-acceptance |
| 0:39.8 | in inner freedom. Each week, we dive into popular books by leading experts in psychology, neuroscience, |
| 0:45.8 | and spirituality, integrating key insights and tools to support deep and lasting healing. No matter |
| 0:51.8 | your age, you are designed to liberate your brightest, most authentic |

| 1:04.4 | Welcome back, my loves and happy Soul Sunday. Today we're exploring Lesson of a course and miracles workbook for students. |
| 1:14.7 | And this lesson builds on last week's theme, challenging us to recognize that the way we see the |
| 1:20.1 | world, our perception, is a projection of our own inner fears. And in this case, what we'll be |
| 1:25.4 | exploring is our own attacking thoughts. Now, if we believe |
| 1:29.6 | that the world is against us or there's people in our lives that are against us, we will see |
| 1:33.5 | vengeance everywhere. But this lesson is an invitation to question that perception and to ask |
| 1:38.8 | ourselves, is this really the world I want to see? And as always, our Soul Sunday flow includes a brief update at the top, |
| 1:47.3 | a reading of today's lesson, reflections on how to integrate its wisdom, |
| 1:51.3 | and then some improv and Oracle cards with my orphan kinbrother, Miracle, Mike. |
| 1:56.5 | And of course, let's revisit our essential permission slip from the course of Miracles for Book, Book for Students' introduction. |
| 2:03.4 | And it goes, quote, you need not believe the ideas, you need not accept them, and you need not even welcome them. |
| 2:09.6 | The power lies in the practice itself, regardless of whether you fully understand or agree with the concepts yet. |
| 2:16.3 | End quote. |
