February 2026
February 2026 is a month in which we are called to learn all about love in its many forms. February can go beyond the forms of human love such as romance, sex, affection, devotion and other aspects commonly perceived as love. Of course, they all can be aspects of love, but in order not to get stuck in disappointment that comes from a lack of love, it is crucial that we heal our painful experience and emotions and aim toward something higher, such as remembering ourselves as love and a Child God. We can aim for a holy relationship that goes beyond bodies into the mystic. There are so many ways that can be vehicles of love as we are evolving toward transcendent love beyond form and the body. In other words, we are healing the separation that is the opposite of love and keeps us weak and cut off from ourselves and others, so that we might discover joy as a way of life. To accomplish that we are called to look beyond ourselves into another with loving eyes. All service, healing and bridging lead to greater wholeness that comes through recognition that we are one. We are evolving in peace and helpfulness. In such times as when the world is going through a dark passage as now we can make the most soul progress by helping and forgiveness
The insanity we see in the world is our own. The outside world reflects what is hidden inside our mind. What is inside us we have projected outside. Where we missed the chance to heal another, we feel we have failed them. We think we hate others because we think they caused us pain but actually, we hate them because we feel we failed to save them, thinking they failed us.
Coming back to the present is another way to free ourselves as the present holds only that which is forever true. If we lived with another in the forever present there would be no past and no grievances only the renewed joy as we meet everyone in the present moment with openness and delight.
Are you holding the past against the people around you? If you hold something against anyone you hold it against yourself and everyone. We’ve hidden our gifts that were available to heal in our painful situations by being right and using what was occurring to separate rather than helping and loving as we could have. We chose the ego path and separation instead, by such mistakes and suffered for it. Where we suffered shows where we believe we’ve sinned and the suffering was our just self-punishment for separating and the guilt that came from it. We began to believe in sin as a result and it seemed we were caught in painful patterns of perception. Our mistake was a choice for hell and the ego rather than healing and helping.
With the tumult that is possible in February and for the whole year and beyond, something more is needed to get you through the month, the year and your life. What happens negatively in February shows our hidden tantrum we have not yet let go of. The key principle this month is to rest in God for peace, safety and happiness among all the clashing dreams of the world. Though we may face danger, resting in God is the safest place there is.
It has the power to wake the sleeping truth in us that we are all the same in spite of appearances. We are one mind, one love and one spirit. This principle can carry us through pain, loss and misery. It can take us through conflict and even facing death. It can take us back to the certainty of God. Resting in God can end the suffering of the world. There is no suffering that it cannot heal. Even as the world still remains torn by the winds of hate, we can remain completely undisturbed. We rest in truth and Love and what we see can be turned to truth by our vision as we rest in God. Our peace calls to others to join us in our rest and our rest makes an irresistible truth, inexorably drawing others out of their pain and conflicts. They will not hear another voice because as we give our voice to God and rest in Him, He rests in us. As we rest in God we give Him our voice and His Voice will speak through us. As a result all our cares and worries will evaporate. There will be no burdens and no anxiety, no pain or worries about the future or past regrets. In God, we rest in eternity while the world goes about its way without its darkness upon us, for our rest cannot change in any way at all.
Every time you rest in God, you will feel such deep respite that the fevered dreams of the world and its frantic fantasies dissolve. Be still and receive the grace. When you rest in God, no more fearful dreams can come because now you are held in God’s embrace. As you rest in the peace of God today the world begins to unbreak itself and return to rest as hope is restored. The world is closer to waking each time you rest in God and weary minds too tired to carry on find respite and comfort.
In your rest you call upon your brothers to join you and you will be answered. You can rest today quietly and unafraid. You can give this gift to those who came before and to those who will come after. Time does not bind you. Every time you rest in God you remind all of their resting place also. By resting in God, you become a protector and provider for the world.
All problems stem from the past and in the past the root that was the cause of the problem was the desire to be independent and do things your way. Independence is a dissociation that blocks receiving and doesn’t allow partnership. Problems are a defense against the ego’s desire to block the present. The defenses blocks your awareness of the gift underneath that would have resolved any problem had you realized it was there to share. It is this separation that built the ego as the principle of separation. Yet, it was also this separation that gave us needs, addictions and idols. We think we want these so called answers which the ego tells us relieves the pain and hunger of separation believing that they would save us. Because of our ego we believe these needs, if fulfilled, would make up for our past wounds that come from separation. This becomes a vicious circle of wounds and needs. We believe idols would fulfill us if we could only possess them and satisfy ourselves. This leads us to seek outside for what we thought would save us and it is the seeking outside for these attachments that the Buddha said led to suffering.
What is outside us is what we judged, fragmented, repressed and projected as something we don’t want inside. So, what is in the world as we perceive it, is what we didn’t like in ourselves. We are thus caught in a vicious circle of resistance and desire. No wonder there is difficulty in achieving the goals we want.
We pretend what goes on around us is not connected to us and this denial hides our participation and responsibility in everything that goes on in the world. It also distracts and hides the way to transform our heartbreaks and guilt of the past. We can transform the past by taking total responsibility for everything that happened to us in the past. This includes every dark circumstance we underwent. Our responsibility banishes the guilt-blame cycle that we use to attack others for. It is what we set up and blamed others for so that we could either be independent or run from our purpose or both. The subconscious shows that what we blamed others for was what we were doing.
Denial and dissociation run rampant in our lives. In A Course in Miracles it states that we have even denied Heaven Itself. We use the past as our excuse to be independent and do things our way because of what was done to us that we actually set up subconsciously. We chose the incidents in which we were victimized and missed the opportunity to free and heal another. Instead we blamed and used others for our excuse not to live our purpose, following the ego in order to leave Heaven’s path of peace that heals ancient insanity. The violence, greed and corruption we witness in the world are the old or ancient mistakes we made before we learned a better way. Yet, we judged these mistaken parts as guilty and sinful, fragmenting them and pretending we had nothing to do with such low behavior. These were then projected to become part of the world we made. Forgiveness and integration of fragmented parts returns them to wholeness, peace and a new level of confidence.
Take any mishap or any symptom of an illness or problem and dwell on it. It will soon give up the situation or layer feeding into it. This will show the loss or pain you suffered. While just by re-experiencing what was going on, it is helpful as some of the pain will melt away. In re-experiencing painful parts, it gives you a chance to correct it by simply having the Holy Spirit or Quan Yin dwell within you there and see it all through a higher perspective. You can have your mind rewired now through forgiveness, bonding or by sharing the gift you had come to give in that situation that was lost. To heal old pain, give up all sense of ego privilege or entitlement until you feel free of your expectations and demands that things should have gone your way. Everything is unfolding in the highest possible manner given what needs to be healed. The bigger issues that have occurred in our lives are soul lessons whose symptoms will keep showing up in our life until we learn the lesson involved.
February 2026 will provide the opportunity to correct your whole life back bringing freedom and love, especially if you take advantage of all the signs and symbols showing where something needs correction. It may be the smallest upset or thing that goes wrong but we can use it as a way to look within. The ego tells you not to look within because you will find darkness and sin but the Holy Spirit says to look within through His eyes and correct the mistake.
You wrote all the scripts of your life, including the heartbreaks, the illnesses and the accidents that weren’t really accidents. Everything that seemed untoward in your life will serve either a purpose for the ego identity you built or it will serve the Holy Spirit’s purpose. The ego’s purpose is guilt and suffering in order to keep control of your mind. The Holy Spirit’s purpose is freedom and correction, not the constriction and guilt leading to sacrifice. You get to choose which path you follow. In each incident or issue that comes up you could repeat over and over again, “I could have peace instead of this”. (A Course in Miracles) You could look at any darkness through the Buddha’s eyes, who knows it was all a dream projected on the world. Through the Holy Spirit’s eyes you will see your soul lesson and that what happened was a mistake on your part that came about by siding with your ego. You could look at every incident through Quan Yin’s eyes and see everyone innocent, deserving of Her mercy and compassion through you. You could look at each incident through Christ’s eyes and see that others didn’t need to do it your way for you to be happy. Instead you could bring Heaven’s Love through to free everyone in past situations, including you.
February is a month of practical love that comes about through healing. Wherever you were wounded in any way, you began to live a life of control and revenge whether you were aware of it or not. These brought about the very things you didn’t want to happen. Go back to where your revenge began and use Heaven’s Presence that brings healing rather than your own misinterpretation that caused you pain and as a result built your ego’s identity of separation that holds someone else to blame. You used this misinterpretation to free you of any responsibility but this independence comes at a price. These are places you buried caches of guilt and beliefs in your weakness and helplessness where you think your hurting and attacking yourself would pay off the guilt. It didn’t It increased it. You also then blamed others, to prove your innocence and their guilt.
If you forgive yourself. You find it easy to forgive others realizing it was all a big mistake. What you see outside you is what you have on the inside. Healing unifies your mind and also helps the world to greater unity and the freedom that comes from it. Your guilt has led you to hate others that you feel sinned against you. This is a defense to hide the deeper guilt that you had inside where you felt you had sinned against some others.
As A Course In Miracles states, to save the world is but to change your mind about yourself. Your path to happiness comes through peace, faith and wholeness. It won’t come from belief in sin which looks for enemies. You will either put your faith in truth and happiness or in fear and revenge. Many of these patterns began and are hidden from us by ourselves to keep our ego safe. Many of these problems have ancestral or past life patterns. We have Heaven’s help to find these caches of guilt and the source where revenge began that now can be released as a mistake.
The more there is a feeling of deadness in your life, the more you have a conflict within. The deadness comes from your defense and desire to compensate to hide it. The conflict shows the desire either to die out of disappointment in life, relationships and yourself or your fear of life. The fear of death is a thin defense over your fear of life which is your fear of failing once again. The more you have a sense of failure in your life, the more you want to escape its pain by running from your life. In the “Dead Zone” people either give up and die or find the way out through means of equality, partnership and the desire to live your purpose.
The following are helpful hints for February and the months to come.
- You are entitled to miracles. (A Course in Miracles) Miracles are acts of love and faith on your part and Divine Love on the part of Heaven. Faith is looking beyond the fear and the illusion and seeing truth as Heaven sees it. Any symptom is an investment in fear and the ego instead of love and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit’s vision is the truth. All the rest is an investment in the ego. It’s what you made together with the ego to keep you small, run from your calling and not know your true identity as a Child of God.
- Everything rests on your identity. It is not a matter of choice. You can’t change how you were created but you can willfully cover it over, believing you made yourself. This limits you to your body and your ego as separate from others. Your beliefs are powerful as they determine your perception. You see what you wish for. Ask for and receive what you really want and deserve.
- When you are feeling bad know that the ego has you caught in the prison of its beliefs and the emotions that come from them. If you enjoy the path of reason you will find truth. You can examine what you must believe to have this perception, experience and this emotion. And you can choose again if you don’t want to invest in it.
If you are feeling bad the ego has isolated you with self-attack and you are making what is happening all about you. This totally constricts your perception and personalizes everything which is quite a painful misinterpretation. At any time you can choose to give love to another by stepping through your malaise. You can do this as many time as needed until the darkness has disappeared and the light has come. - Grievances begin with self-judgment projected on the world. We have projected onto the world our self-judgment and hatred. Compassion for ourselves and others is the answer. We can even have gratitude for others who are showing us our dark and hidden beliefs, the ugly parts of us as we have defined ourself. Our forgiveness of others is our forgiveness of ourselves. To forgive is to seek and find the truth about both of you. At the root of every problem there is a grievance. At this time, ancient guilt is feeding the grievances that make a world of separation and pain. You can do your part to help the world through the healing gift of forgiveness. Start with those closest to you. Free them and yourself. Forgive someone every day. If you judge someone you are hiding a gift within that would free you both. Know the gift by seeing their need. What need of theirs reflects the gift you have within? Open your gift and give it to God to be multiplied ten thousand times. (A Course in Miracles) Receive it back and share it. Then share it with your brother.
While there may be layer after layer that has made a darkened perception that patterns your life, you can keep repeating these Words of Power with strong intention “I will forgive and this will disappear.” (A Course in Miracles) Forgiveness changes perception. - Ask to see each upsetting moment through the eyes of the Holy Spirit Who unfolds things in the highest possible way according to what is needed to bring about final joining and spiritual restoration.
- We are responsible not just for our actions but also for our thoughts and perception and experience which are the cause of our emotions. As you take full responsibility for every situation you regain your power and remembrance of who you are. You have the power of God’s Child. You were given God’s power at creation when you were created in His image. Nobody did anything to you that you didn’t happen to choose.
After five decades of exploring the subconscious mind, I have found these principles to be true. What happened to us was all our choice influenced by the ego. On the other hand, the ego attempts to turn our responsibility into guilt. We have all made mistakes and we are all here for learning to correct old and ancient mistaken investments. If we are responsible we can learn the lesson, correct the mistakes we made that we have blamed on others. We can heal not only ourselves but also a whole network of victims and victimizers of which we are a part. If we are a victim we will directly or inadvertently pass it on to others unless we heal. If we realize what happened to us was not personal against us we can help heal the whole network of thousands of people through our forgiveness and the gift of miracles that brings redemption. Otherwise as a victim we pass on, either directly or indirectly, how we were victimized. Choose your gifts and true power rather than control or domination which comes from fear and a belief in yourself as weak. A Course in Miracles puts it this way in clear fashion:
I am responsible for what I see.
I choose the feelings I experience and I decide upon the goal I would achieve and everything that seems to happen to me.
I ask for and receive as I have asked.
(A Course in Miracles)
This may seem unbelievable at first but it is what I discovered in close to twenty thousand healing experiences. As we become accountable and understand what was going on that we hid from ourselves we find both others’ innocence and our responsibility. Accountability gives you power to correct, heal and empower others. You can reflect on the past with this principle. To repeat it over and over again begins to give you your power back. It’s truth releases your power and brings meaning so you can change perception and release suffering. When it is complete the situation is healed, the heartbreak and self-defeat are gone. You are free, confident and at peace. Everyone’s innocence has been uncovered. With innocence we find everyone was doing the best they could, given inner and outer circumstances. When everyone is innocent, no one is guilty, not even you. In this way the world is freed of darkness. The world is brighter and the light has come. Be a herald of the light in this dark year by releasing yourself and others from your past, especially your childhood. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood or happy past relationships.
February 2026 is a month of love. Give it your all. Leave nothing on the field. Love the pants off your life. Yippee!
