Seeds for the Garden of your Mind

May 4

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“Others’ faults inform us of who we are.”

“We resist the idea that the traits we abhor in others are our own. They simply can’t be! But the wiser ones on this journey say, “Think again.” The fault in our thinking comes from believing in separation. As long as we see other people as having separate bodies and separate minds, we will not understand that who we see is a reflection of some aspect of ourselves.

Being convinced, finally, that we are One comes from our willingness to suspend our disbelief. Accepting this as truth comes more easily with even a little effort.

Faults exist only in the ego. They have no life outside of that. They are illusory, absolutely. But they seem so real, we think. How cunning is the ego. Fortunately its strength doesn’t match the strength of the Holy Spirit, whose perception wipes out all the strength of the Holy Spirit, whose perception wipes out all illusion. Going to It for help is the only requirement for eliminating faults, ours and those we imagine others to have.”

“I must remember that I am who I see today and everyday.”

Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “Our purpose on this earth is to be happy,” and it is the Holy Spirit’s function to help us achieve that. He leads us to whatever material abundance supports us in standing forth joyously within the world, without binding us further to it.”

Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “I am not healed alone. Our potential as a healer has no point beyond which it can’t go. To be kind to those around us and devote ourselves to their peace will do far more than makes us happy. It will help release the world from pain and begin turning hell into heaven for every living thing.”

Wayne Dyer: “When you judge another person you do not define them. You merely define yourself as someone who needs to judge.”

Paul Ferrini: “Make others equally important. Do not sacrifice for them or ask them to sacrifice for you, but help them when you can and receive their help gratefully when you need it. More than this is too much. Less than this is too little.”

Unity’s Daily Word:

“My time alone with God renews,
Replenishes, and restores me.”

“At times I may need to renew my energy and recharge my body, mind, and spirit. Whether I attend a spiritual retreat or simply take a walk in nature, spending time in solitude, away from my everyday life, is a sacred part of my spiritual practice.”

“My time alone is not spent in being concerned about myself or about expectations, judgments, or worries. It is a sacred time to grow spiritually in my relationship with God.”

“Time alone with God renews my spirit. My energy is replenished, and my strength is restored. My mind is refreshed, and my thoughts are enhanced. I have fresh enthusiasm for life.”

“Now that I am renewed, I return to my everyday life refreshed and invigorated. I am ready to share my newfound inspiration with others in caring, helpful ways.”

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 124

“Let me remember I am one with God.”

Namaste – Ron


Lesson 124

“Let me remember I am one with God.”

And let me always remember that I One with God. This is what I keep forgetting when I believe I am this body – this separate form of nothing. I AM One with God and I shall forever be One with God. As God Is, I AM.
