Seeds for the Garden of your Mind

April 26

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“Unlearning lessons of the past is our challenge.”

“Whenever we learn something new, it changes ever so slightly how we view everything in our lives. Nothing that we hold dear and true is unaffected by the incorporation of a new idea. We are overwhelmed at first with the new information we encounter with the Course. Must we toss out everything and start over?

If we could, perhaps that would be easiest. However, we don’t have to. We simply need to acknowledge that the ego did most of our interpreting in the past and it didn’t serve our spiritual interests. The ego strengthen selfishness. We focused our attention on scarcity and blame, thus fear predominated. Our actions didn’t nurture our companions or ourselves. We learned so much that was “wrong.” Can we really unlearn it?”

“I will embrace the Course one idea at a time.
Today everything that happens is for my good.”

Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “Minds are joined, says A Course in Miracles, but bodies are not. The body of itself is nothing. It cannot forgive, it cannot see, and it cannot communicate.”

Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “Giving a spiritual gift proves to my mind that I already have it. I forfeit all spiritual gifts the instant I stop extending them to others. Any sense of discontent or emptiness that I may experience today will indicate the precise gift I must give to those around me. I ‘receive’ spiritual gifts only by giving them away.”

Wayne Dyer, There’s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem: “In meditation you go to the silence. The silence cannot be divided. Like zero in mathematics, it can never be cut up to be anything other than zero. And so it is with God. Only one. Indivisible.”

Paul Ferrini, Grace Unfolding: “When we rest in the heart, we do not act in compulsive ways. We do not act out our fear or indulge our desires. We recognize our fear and our desire and hold them with compassion. We sink down through the levels of emotional conflict or ambivalence to the place of acceptance. And there we stay until we know what we really want.”

Unity’s Daily Word:

“I thank God for you!”

“From the basic necessities in life to helpful conveniences, I enjoy a life built through the mutual support of many people. Today I may be served in some way by a professional assistant, a caretaker, a clerk, a postal worker, or by many others. These are individuals who contribute their time, skills, and energy toward the well-being of many in their homes, offices, communities, and the world.”

“What I have to give in return is my gratitude, a generosity that is not limited by finances or other circumstances. Being generous with my resources, compliments, and kindness, I pave the way for relationships to develop in ways that benefit everyone concerned. I am deeply grateful for people who are dedicated to making life easier, more comfortable, and safer for others.”

Lesson 116

Review Lessons 101 & 102
“God’s Will for me is perfect happiness.”
“I share God’s Will for happiness for me.”
Within this dream, I often times believe I am separated from God, that the experiences I am having are caused by a God distant from me. But God’s Will for me is perfect happiness – it is what God experiences with me. Who am I go against the Will of God? I AM but an illusion I believe in! Within me is my truth, and my truth is known to me in the silence – I go there and know that my will and God’s Will are but One Will. Happiness is mine because I am One with God. Unhappiness is a thought offered me by ego as substitute for the Love of God.
