That moment when you want to say something… but you swallow it.
Because you’re afraid it might sound silly or you fear someone might reject you or you think there’s something wrong with you.
And that’s exactly the voice of the ego…the one that wants to keep you small and convince you that love isn’t meant for you.
Shame whispers: “Better not say it. Stay quiet. Don’t let anyone see who you really are.”
And so, we close our mouths.
But in that silence, the feeling of being disconnected often grows.
As if there’s a wall inside us,
when really… that wall is made entirely of thoughts.
Sometimes, this feeling shows up even on the spiritual path.
There are people who study A Course in Miracles in silence, not because they don’t believe in it, but because something in them whispers:
“What if I share this and they think I’m strange or worse ‘mad’?”
“What if they start asking and I don’t give the right answer?
“What if they start laughing about me?”
But this, too, is just another veil.
You don’t need to speak perfectly, or convince anyone.
Even the desire to express what’s true is already a spark of awakening.
And you can trust that when the moment is right, your words will come gently, honestly, without shame.
A Course in Miracles invites us to look right through the shame.
Not by pushing it away, but by seeing it for what it is: a simple mistake in perception.
We confuse a fleeting thought or a moment of behaviour with who we really are. But who we truly are cannot fail, cannot fall short, and has nothing to be ashamed of.
Think of a child learning to walk.
It falls. It stumbles. It tries again.
No one says: “What a failure! How embarrassing!”
On the contrary, we laugh. We cheer.
That’s how the Holy Spirit sees us: with kindness, no judgment, and a gentle smile.
So shame is really just a veil we pull over our own light.
A veil that hides nothing… except in our perception.
And once we’re willing to step back and let Him lead the way
we’ll see that there was never anything wrong.
Our words, our actions, even our “mistakes”…they were only
dream-attempts.
They don’t touch our True Self.
And maybe we can even laugh about it.
Because shame is really the ego’s biggest joke:
pretending that Light could ever hide.
As if the sun should feel embarrassed because clouds drift by.
So the next time shame comes knocking, smile at it.
Say: “Thank you, but I am not a mistake. I am not a problem. I am Light. And Light has nothing to be ashamed of.”
With love and light,
