Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:
“Being aware of love’s presence is our lesson.”
“Many situations in life seem unloving. A hateful reply to a question, for instance, never feels loving; nor does a reprimand. Subtle slights from friends, like unreturned phone calls or frowns instead of smiles, belie their claims of love. With so many examples of seeming lovelessness, how can we grow more aware of love’s presence?”
“The Course tells us that every expression one makes in life is either love or a cry for healing and help. Learning to identify love is perhaps easier when we are able to recognize its opposite. Just knowing that every action is one or the other clarifies our understanding.”
“If what we experience from another person doesn’t feel like love, it probably isn’t. What it is, however, is an opportunity, always, for us to offer love in the form of forgiveness anyway. It’s not difficult to do so, except at first. The rewards we’ll reap will strengthen our desire to make the decision on a regular basis. Best of all, we’ll be showered with more love from others.”
“Looking for signs of love or appeals for healing and help
will inform all my experiences today.”
Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “To know the real truth about anything is to know the truth about everything. In learning the principles of ministry, we learn the principles of success, regardless of what form our ministry takes.”
Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “Peace dissolves the grip of time. The busy mind is focused on how much is accomplished in time. The peaceful mind is focused on how much of the timeless is experienced this instant.”
Wayne Dyer: “If there is only one creative truth behind the universe and you accept the devil as this truth you are then required to believe that hatred, violence, ugliness, prejudice, disease, poverty, and chaos are manifestations of this truth. And all love and goodness are false.”
Paul Ferrini: “The cause of human conflict is simple: people dehumanize each other. Each side sees the other side as unworthy. As long as people who disagree perceive each other this way, even the simplest details cannot be negotiated.”
Unity’s Daily Word:
“In a spirit of love and understanding,
I forgive.”
“We may have m any opportunities to practice forgiveness throughout our lives. Just when we think we have learned all we need to know about being forgiving, another opportunity to forgive appears.”
“Forgiveness is not always easy, yet from the love and understanding of God in our hearts, we can and do forgive. We forgive because we love. We forgive because we understand that all people – no matter what their ages may be – must have the freedom to find their own way and make their own decisions in life.”
“Forgiveness leads us to accept each person as the beloved child of God that he or she is. We understand that each one is a unique individual who is on a sacred and personal journey – just as we are on our own sacred and personal journeys.”
A Course in Miracles: Lesson 139
“I will accept Atonement for myself.”

Lesson 139
“I will accept Atonement for myself.”
The Atonement – the correction of my error of thought – necessary for me to have in order to extend love to others. I can not help another unless I have helped myself in my corrections first. I accept – I gladly accept the Atonement for myself – I gladly accept the correction of my thoughts of who I think I am as a body. I gladly accept the truth of who I am in the Mind of God. And with this acceptance I can and will move toward others sharing my gift with them.
