Seeds for the Garden of Your Mind

May 30

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“Thoughts are everything.”

“What we see or feel is only what’s in the mind because thoughts are everything. We are responsible for our world, of course, and everything in it. Most of us aren’t so eager to accept all of that responsibility. The turmoil and “bad luck” can’t be our fault every time.

Even though this set of beliefs forces us to give up blaming others, it also empowers us. Our journey to real happiness can be made more quickly when we accept our rightful role. It’s really quite fun to realize that we are who we want to be; we think only what want to think. We can speed up or slow down our journey at will.

The problem is, how do we first understand and then get comfortable with the idea that thoughts are everything? It helps if we share our observations of experiences with others. We’ll see how differently each of us catalogues and interprets events. That, in turn, reveals how our thoughts manage us.”

“I don’t need any thought I don’t want today. I’m in charge.”

Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom:     “Your personal power is not something that is going to reveal itself at some later date. Your power is a result of your decision to reveal it. You are powerful in whatever moment you choose to be. The choice to be used as an instrument of love, right here, right now, is a choice for personal empowerment.”

Hugh Prather, Morning Notes:          “To learn something new, I have to resign as my own teacher. Life doesn’t select particular lessons for me to identify and learn. Nor does it whisper instructions that I must hear and interpret correctly. All it asks is that I not be my own self-appointed guru. Today I will practice making no assumptions and drawing no conclusions. If I do this, Life itself will take care of everything else.”

Wayne Dyer:          “The common belief of those who are hateful is a firm conviction that life does not love them. Hate is their response to feeling hated.”

Paul Ferrini:               “…it is not the man who pulls the trigger, but the boy. It is the boy who is overwhelmed and scared. It is the little one who does not feel loved and accepted. It is the wounded boy who strikes out, not the man.”

Unity’s Daily Word:

“Living from spiritual principles,
I express true spiritual freedom.”

“Freedom of the soul is an inner condition that I can reach through the discipline of spiritual practices. Through prayer, reading, and interaction with supportive people, I grow in awareness of my own strengths and of the activity of God in my life.”

“Although it may appear at times that freedom lies in being rid of spiritual discipline, this is an illusion. By living from spiritual principles, I am free from thinking or saying anything negative or limiting.”

“By engaging in spiritual activities, I build a foundation of awareness that frees me to grow and evolve fully. Each moment of prayer enhances my relationship with God and brings me true freedom.”

Lesson 150

Review Lessons 139 & 140

“I will accept Atonement for myself.”
“Only salvation can be said to cure.”

I gladly will accept the Atonement for myself, and in my healing, others are healed as well. My errors are corrected as are theirs. I see Love as they see Love. I extend God to them and they extend God to me. Such is my salvation. Such is my cure for any fear in my world.
