Seeds for the Garden of Your Mind

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“Forgiveness is the path to peacefulness.”

“Coming to believe that all disharmony may be the result of even a single, still-harbored resentment gives us a refreshing new look at our lives. We are only as upset as our willingness to let old memories control us. We can be free of them – now! It’s a decision to let the past go. It’s a decision to ask the Holy Spirit for a new perspective. It’s a decision to ask, again and again, if we fall into the old, more familiar pattern of disharmony.

Who among us would admit to preferring agitation to peacefulness? Few at best. However, many of us live as thought that’s the case. We get mad and stay mad. We argue and then relive the tension for hours and days. New experiences with unsuspecting companions carry the stamp of earlier encounters that left us furious. We can change all of this. It’s not so very difficult, in fact.

The Holy Spirit is always with us. Of course, so is the ego. Which one we honor will determine our level of peacefulness.”

“I will be as peaceful as I decide today.
Getting free of resentment through forgiveness is the key.”

Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “It’s not what we think that transforms us, but how we think. The principles of miracles become “mental habits” in our “problem-solving repertoire.”

Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “The moment before and after a miracle is no less miraculous. Love works miracles. Yet what do I choose to emphasize – the miracle of the Love? If I shift my attention to the miracle, I look away from its Cause. What happened may be wonderful indeed, yet Love is still present, still here, still holding me and everyone in beauty.”

Wayne Dyer, Your Sacred Self: “Bliss is a state of grace, and a state of self-sufficiency. It is a connectedness to God, a connectedness to the universal truth. Your bliss provides you with the sense that you are “on purpose.”

Paul Ferrini, Grace Unfolding: “As we practice acceptance and dwell in the silence of our heart, what we really want becomes clear. The more we dwell in this place, the more our thoughts, feelings and actions become congruent. We become more honest, more authentic, more compassionate with ourselves and others.”

From Unity’s Daily Word:

“God inspires me to be creative in all my responses to life.”

“In the parable of the sower, Jesus taught about the creative power and the abundant return for the one who sows seed in a fertile field of good soil.”

“My thoughts are seed ideas that I sow in the fertile soil of my mind. When my mind is open and uncluttered, I am creative in my responses to life and in all my interactions with others.”

“To clear my mind and prepare it to receive, I spend time in meditation and prayer. Here I release preconceived notions and attachments that things have to go one way. Instead, I let an awareness of God grow within me so that an abundance of creative thoughts develop and mature into reality in my life.”

“God, being Love, is also happiness.”
“I seek but what belongs to me in truth.

God is happiness. Love is happiness. I am happiness. God and I are One. I seek only that which is within me, my truth. I seek only that which I am and will forever be. I seek only in my world, for in reality I AM.
