Seeds for the Garden of Your Mind

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“Giving up what we don’t know isn’t easy.”

“Our possessions and friends, jobs and dreams, aren’t so easily given up. Not all of them have to go. As we become more willing to experience the depth of the Course’s teaching, however, and acknowledge the presence of those who have gathered to teach us, we’ll realize that changes are happening in our lives, changes we hadn’t counted on. Even changes that worry us initially.

Developing trust is a process. We get ample opportunities to practice it. The losses that come to us, the dreams that vanish, the friends who leave are unsettling. These experiences are necessary though. Their time has come and gone. What comes our way now is what we are ready for. Again and again, we have to remind ourselves that there are no accidents. All experiences are meant for our good.”

“Today I will welcome unexpected experiences.”

Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom:     “To say, “In the name of God, Satan, get thee behind me!” means “Through the power of all that is beautiful in human beings, let all that is ugly go back to where it came from.” And what you have to do after you say this is truly, truly mean it.”

Hugh Prather, Morning Notes:          “Happiness begins with increased awareness of others. Pet owners who ask the question, “What doe this animal’s behavior say about me?” are capable of insensitivity and sometimes cruelty toward their pet. For example, they may demand that a dog be absolutely obedient and loyal to them yet see no reason why they should have a lifelong commitment to the dog. Likewise, I am acutely aware of other people’s attitudes toward me, yet I am not consistently conscious of my attitude toward them.”

Wayne Dyer:          “The hatred you see directed outward toward you is actually pain being exposed by the person who is experiencing it. When the hate is dissolved the pain loses it horror and torment.”

Paul Ferrini:          “If you want to change the criminal, you must stop punishing him and begin to love him. Nothing else will work.”  

Unity’s Daily Word:

“With God, I am successful.”

“I feel the rush of excitement when I reach a goal. It’s as if I have broken through the winner’s tape as I cross the finish line at the end of a race.”

“Reaching a goal is fulfilling; however, it is often what I learn along the way that enriches my life. These moments are when I express strength, knowledge, and patience that I never before realized I was capable of expressing.”

“The success of any of my endeavors is not just about me. It’s about what I believe I can accomplish through God’s spirit within me and then my willingness to act on this belief. My success is about matters great and small that I must sometimes reprioritize. I understand that everyday matters can be as important as the challenges I once thought were more significant. With God, I am successful.”

From A Course in Miracles:          Lesson 156

“I walk with God in perfect holiness.”

Lesson 156

“I walk with God in perfect holiness.”

I walk with God as God created me, in perfect holiness. Walking with God, I walk in the truth of who I am and what I am, and that is perfect holiness. It matters not at all how hard I try to be anything else, what I am in truth – perfect holiness – cannot be changed. When I am aware of this holiness, I am also aware of “walking” with God.
