Limitless power flows through you—not as something to possess or control, but as your capacity to serve love, heal perception, and extend peace. Lesson 320 from A Course in Miracles reveals the profound truth that your Father has "laid before your mind all the strength and love in earth and heaven," waiting for your acceptance.
The separation between your will and God's will is merely an illusion. When you align with divine purpose, your actions become effortless and sure. This lesson reorients our understanding of power from ego-centered aims like status and dominance to its functional purpose: furthering awakening. Your true happiness lies not in worldly achievements but in your ability to forgive truly—the kind of forgiveness that collapses time and creates miracles.
We explore the crucial distinction between power and force. As Thomas quotes from David Hawkins, "Power is from God, and force is our ego." Force attempts to manipulate and push, providing only pseudo-happiness that never satisfies the soul. True power flows when we trust rather than grasp, when we accept responsibility by recognizing that every circumstance—even challenging ones—provides the perfect means for awakening.
The practical application becomes beautifully simple: start your day in quiet contemplation, noticing which thoughts align with God's will and which come from ego. Throughout the day, ask yourself which choices extend healing rather than separation. End by reflecting on moments you allowed divine power to work through you. Remember: when acting from this power, you are "both a servant and a channel...small in your posture but vast in your effect."
