Review of Lesson 190
The Point — Choosing joy instead of pain means refusing to let suffering become the final statement about what you are. Within the Course’s framework, pain belongs to the dream of bodily identity; joy reflects God’s Will for His Son.
Where It Fits — The review statement supplies the basis for the choice, that the body’s experience does not define the Self God created.
The Takeaway — Choose joy by refusing to let pain tell you who you are.
