ACIM Lesson 338 Contemplation

"I am affected only by my thoughts."
This lesson reiterates that our experiences are shaped solely by our thoughts, and nothing external can truly affect us. It teaches that by recognizing this truth, we can release ourselves and others from fear, understanding that no one frightens us and nothing can endanger us. Our thoughts may still frighten us, but since they belong to us, we have the power to change them, exchanging fear for love and peace.
