Seeds for the Garden of your Mind

May 2

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“Joining with others is how healing occurs.”

“To take another’s pain away is not our assignment. That doesn’t mean we should turn our backs on those who suffer or judge them negatively for their struggles. The best response, the only loving response, is to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit in regard to the dilemmas of others: be a loving presence in their lives. Be with them where they are, nowhere else.

Joining with others in this way acknowledges our Oneness . When we see and celebrate this togetherness, we reduce the strife in everyone’s life. The Course tells us that none of us go home until we all go home. Bonding with all others speeds the journey home. But what does “going home” mean? It means being at peace, total peace, in the Real World.

Grasping the difference between the Real World and the one the ego inhabits is the door to a hope-filled, serene life. A mere nod in the direction of this door swings it open. The view is fantastic. So is our memory of it.”

“As one heals, we all heal.
I will extend my hand to a sister or brother today.”

Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “The evils of the world that confront me are a reflection of my own internal state, and no one can protect me from my own mind.”

Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “From my peaceful mind, I will speak gently to the fearful part of me. Monitor your willingness, and each time you feel strong enough, put aside the evidence of your guilt and the hopelessness of your condition. Quietly let fear pass from your mind. Be still and remember that God cannot lose sight of the beauty and strength placed in your heart before time began. You do not belong to your ego. You belong to God.”

Wayne Dyer: “When we put our collective energy on what we are for, bringing kindness and love to bear on our differences of opinions, the need to resist ends.”

Paul Ferrini: “As soon as there is the slightest perception of inequality between you and another person, you must understand that you have left your heart. You have abandoned the truth.”

Unity’s Daily Word:

“My faith in God is full and complete.”

“A career change, a move to a new home, a retirement, or a graduation may signal the end of one stage of life and the beginning of another. Before embarking on the new course my life is taking, I take a moment to reflect on the completion of this phase and on God’s spirit that brought me to this turning point.”

“I give thanks for the spirit of God that has been my guide and inspiration. I release the past, forgive where necessary, and rest in the awareness of God’s spirit within me.”

“It may seem that the experiences of life test how strong my faith is, but it is my assurance of God’s loving support that grows stronger each day. Bringing a segment of life to its completion ensures that I am ready for the next phase. My faith is full and complete.”

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 122

Lesson 122

“Forgiveness offers everything I want.”
With forgiveness, with a change of thought from fear to love, I have all that there is – I have love, I have my truth. With forgiveness I realize my truth and feel no need – no desire – no wants – just peace and joy that are mine in truth.
