Walking the talk begins when we choose only Love and stop spiritualizing the ego's voice.
Hi Beloved,
This week's message is tender, direct, and born from my own experience of walking this path beside you. It's for all of us who have spoken Truth… and then caught ourselves judging others who seem not to.
We know better but still forget. We quote spiritual teachings but still separate. And sometimes, in our desire to awaken the world, we let the ego wear robes of righteousness.
Here’s this week’s theme:
When the Talk Becomes The Trap
ACIM Lessons 49 & 50: Listening to the Voice for God in a World of Noise.
A Course in Miracles tells us:
"God's Voice speaks to me throughout the day." (L49) But here's the paradox: so does the ego,
The ego, when spiritualized, gets tricky and velcro-sticky. It judges people for being “unawakened.” It corrects others in the name of Light. It hides behind the talk—while refusing to walk.
I’ve been there. And I’ve come to learn that every moment of judgment, even spiritual judgment, is a choice to follow egoic fear.
But there is another way.
As Lesson 50 reminds us:
"Put not your faith in illusions. They will fail you. Put all your faith in the Love of God within you: eternal, changeless, and forever unfailing. This is the answer to whatever confronts you today. Through the Love of God within you, you can resolve all seeming difficulties without effort and in sure confidence. Tell yourself this often today. It is a declaration of release from your belief in idols. It is your acknowledgment of the truth about yourself.
Our work is not to condemn what’s unfolding in the world.
Our work is to embody the Love of God within us—especially when the world feels upside down.
Natural disasters, wars, confusion, fear… these things will irritate and disturb our peace. But they are also our invitations to recommit, to realign, and to walk the talk—not from superiority, but from surrender.
Let’s be clear:
- Peace is not passivity.
- Love is not weakness.
- Choosing God’s Voice is the bravest thing we can do.
We are not here to fix others or to decide whether they are right or wrong.
We are here to remember—and become the lighthouse that illuminates the path where others may remember, too.
Now is the time to walk the talk.
To be the calm in the chaos.
To offer the miracle—not the analysis of the problem.
To stop spiritually bypassing pain with platitudes, and instead become conduits of God’s Voice in action.
This is what distinguishes those who walk the talk from those still talking.
Let’s stop spiritualizing the ego’s fear.
Let’s start living the quiet certainty of God’s Love as we walk each other home.
This is how we anchor the ascension energies.
Practice For the Week
“Choosing the Voice of Love”
This week, become the observer of your inner dialogue. Each time you notice judgment—especially the kind dressed in spiritual clothing—pause and ask:
Is this the voice of fear… or the Voice for God?
Then gently declare:
“I am sustained by the Love of God. I choose only Love now.”
Let this become your reset. Whether you're scrolling social media, watching the news, or having a conversation—practice choosing again.
And as often as you remember, speak this declaration from Lesson 50:
“Put not your faith in illusions… Put all your faith in the Love of God within you.”
Let this be the week you stop just talking about peace—and start embodying it again and again.

What Others Are Saying
"Laina, last night’s class was life-changing. For the first time, I was able to feel true compassion for everyone in the story—victim or bully—and actually see myself in their shoes. It opened something deep in me. This is the practice I want to commit to, because I know it will transform my life. Thank you for guiding us to understand projections in such a profound way.”

Closing Transmission
Breathe, Beloved… and receive.
You are the Light that does not flicker.
The Love that does not waver.
The Voice of God speaks through you—not just in holy stillness, but in every mundane moment where judgment tempts you, and peace calls louder.
You were not created to perform spirituality.
You were created to remember God.
And in your remembrance, the world is healed.
Let every disturbance become an invitation.
Let every judgment become a door back to Love.
And let your life become the miracle that proves:
Only the Love of God sustains you.
All else is illusion.
And you are free.
Walk gently. Walk boldly. Walk with God.
Lainaism of the Week:
“The ego can speak of God, but only Love can speak for Him.”
Choose truth over illusion and free your heart!
With fierce compassion and devotion to Truth,
