Seeds for the Garden of your Mind

May 12

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“Relationships signify our spiritual health.”

“We are in relationships with many people. Each relationship foretells the degree of our connection to God. We may feel more comfortable in one relationship than another; however, if we are not peaceful in one of them, we are not peaceful in any, even those that seem fun and easy.”

“But just as the weakness of one relationship signifies the weakness of all of them, wholly mending just one also heals them all, in an instant. The Course teaches that there is only one relationship. This relationship has simply taken many forms.”

“Looking beyond the characteristics of a single relationship to the spirit that abides within it allows us to join with everyone in love and gratitude. We will not feel tense. We will not entertain conflict when we appreciate the inner holiness of us all.”

“I only have to mend one relationship today for all of them to be healed.
Surely that’s possible.”

Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “God doesn’t get rid of all the drama in our lives. He just gets rid of the cheap drama. There is no higher drama than true personal growth. Nothing could be more genuinely dramatic than boys becoming real men and girls becoming real women.”

Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “I am not a victim of my childhood. The divine has no interest in interpreting childhood scenes of misery and imposing them on the present. What once happened is not responsible for what is happening now – I alone am responsible, because I exist in the present. Do I want healing and wholeness, or do I want to continue justifying my mistakes? My ego is already formed, but whether to express it is my own choice.”

Wayne Dyer: “By slowing your mind and freeing it from the endless chatter of thoughts competing against other thoughts, you allow the fastest vibrations of spirit to enter. That faster vibration is one of harmony, love, and peace.”

Paul Ferrini: “When you see your world in its utter neutrality, you will understand that it exists only as a tool for your learning.”

Unity’s Daily Word:

“I am open to a rich flow of divine ideas that prosper my life.”

“God has created a powerful, regenerating universe. For instance, a stream of water builds in volume and energy while flowing down a mountain. So, too, does the creative power of God build within me as I let it flow in my awareness.”

“I connect with God’s creative power by opening my heart and mind in prayer. In those still, quiet moments, I merge my thoughts with the creative power that energizes all – from tiny particles to large stars.”

“I may realize divine ideas of abundance and well-being in an instant or they may build over time. In whatever manner the abundance takes form, I am in the flow of the creative power that is active in the universe. I know that I am blessed.”

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 132

“I loose the world from all I thought it was.”

Lesson 132

“I loose the world from all I thought it was.”

Is this about surrendering or simply letting go of what I thought my world is? This is about changing my thoughts from fear based to love based. Changing my thoughts changes my world and I all I think it is. My world is still one of illusion, but at least now I see my illusions in the light of love.
