"I Do Not Know What Anything Is For."A Course in Miracles Workbook, Lesson 25


Have you ever been so certain about something, convinced it was "good" or "bad", only to realize later that you misunderstood its purpose entirely?


In this episode of Love & Learn, we explore Lesson 25 from A Course in Miracles Workbook for Students. This lesson challenges us to step back from our assumptions and recognize that we may not truly understand the meaning of what’s happening in our lives.


By surrendering the need to know, we create space for a deeper wisdom to emerge—one that serves our highest good, even when we don’t yet see how.


Key Insights from Lesson 25

The Ego’s Assumptions Are Not Reality: The ego thrives on certainty. It clings to labels, judgments, and familiar narratives because they provide a sense of control. But the danger in this is that we end up seeing what we expect to see, rather than what is actually there. We misinterpret situations, project old wounds onto new experiences, and resist change because it threatens the framework we’ve built in our minds. Instead of saying, “I already know what this means,” we begin to ask, “What else could this be? What might I be missing?”


Meaning Emerges When We Let Go: Trying to control meaning keeps us trapped in a narrow, ego-driven perspective—one that filters everything through past experiences, fears, and personal expectations. When we cling to our own interpretations, we block the possibility of seeing things differently. By surrendering preconceived notions, we create space for divine wisdom to flow in. Letting go doesn’t mean becoming passive; it means shifting from force to faith, from grasping to allowing.


Personal Interests Can Mislead Us: The goals we set for ourselves are often shaped by fear, ego, or external expectations rather than what truly serves us. When we cling to these personal agendas, we may overlook a greater path unfolding for our best interest. This lesson encourages us to recognize where our desires might be misaligned and to open ourselves to a deeper, more meaningful guidance.


Reflection Questions

  • Where in my life am I assuming I already understand something’s purpose?
  • How does my attachment to specific outcomes affect my ability to trust life’s unfolding?
  • In what ways have my personal desires or interests misled me in the past?
  • What might shift in my experience if I fully trusted that everything is happening for my highest good?


Press play to explore how letting go of rigid expectations can lead to deeper clarity, trust, and transformation in your life.
