Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:
“To forgive, to heal, to love is why we’re here.”
“We want to believe there is a grand design for our lives. Many of us believe that God needs us and us alone to handle a particular job. If that brings us peace and security, it’s worth believing. But it might be simpler to believe that God just wants us to love each other. According to the Course, our careers or the tasks we’re working on are not as important as how we treat the people we meet each day.
It is never wrong to do whatever work we’re doing to the best of our ability. It may be that no person can do it quite as successfully. We all hope to end up doing work we can enjoy and that contributes to the well-being of others. But at the very least, we can still contribute to the well-being of others by treating them lovingly.
Believing that we are here, now, for the sole purpose of loving others means we can all do an excellent job, no matter our age, our gender, or race; no matter our present livelihood or our dreams for the future.”
“Today I can treat others with grace and respect.”
Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “A healthy, vital society is not in which we all agree. Where people are not free to disagree, there can be no democracy, since that is what democracy is.”
Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “The voice of the past is not the voice of God. For me to take from the countless contradictory experiences I have had and emphasize only a certain type of experience, and then install it as a guide for future action, is not self-trust, but a lack of it. I have never known anyone who had a completely balanced approach to life. Everyone overemphasizes something. Surely I’m not the exception! Our past self is in the past; our present self is in the present, and only in the present can it be trusted.”
Wayne Dyer: “Every single time that you observe anyone in the world demonstrating hate, know with complete certainty that this person feels hated. At the same time, know that this person is loved by God (since God is love).”
Paul Ferrini: “Let the boy or girl in you look out at the boy or girl in the criminal, the outcast, the homeless person. That is where love and acceptance begin. That is where forgiveness has it roots.”
Unity’s Daily Word:
“I expect and give thanks for the natural unfoldment
of God’s good in my life.”
“I am aware of and trust in God’s love, goodness, and generosity. I am never separate from the presence of God or the love-filled abundance that God is. As a child of God, I accept the blessings that are mine to receive.”
“Nothing can limit the blessings that God is pouring into my life. God is with me, so I know there will never be a path on which I will be alone. There will never be a turning point in life when I am on my own.”
“God guides me in living from the goodness, wisdom, and strength of my inner spiritual being. I expect and give thanks for the natural unfoldment of God’s good in my life.”
A Course in Miracles: Lesson 151
“All things are echoes of the Voice for God.”

Lesson 151
“All things are echoes of the Voice for God.”
All things are echoes of the Holy Spirit – the Voice within us – the Self of us. What is an echo but a resounding over and over again of that which is said – in this case, said in truth. All that I look upon in my world, with the assistance of the Holy Spirit, are but echoes of my mind – projections of my thoughts I hold in love. When I judge, I judge based on what I believe the past was. When I call upon the Holy Spirit, I see clearly in the now – this moment – with no past to cloud my view.
