Seeds for the Garden of your Mind

June 16

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“A healed mind is always peaceful.”

“We have so little patience with ourselves and others. We want perfection, from everybody, in every situation. What should be apparent is that none of us defines perfection in exactly the same way. The result is anxiety, agitation, and struggle. We can’t control others, no matter how hard we try or how right we think we are. We are left with only ourselves to control and change and we’re not all too eager for that.”

“What we have is a troubled mind, one that’s controlled by the ego. What we need is a mind that functions free of the ego. It’s available to us when we take the hand of God, which we have dropped along the way, allowing the ego to capture us. The Holy Spirit is always reaching out to us, but it offers peace, not the assurance of being right. Of course, the ego can’t give us that assurance either. When we turn away from the Holy Spirit, it’s because we think we need to be right. Being right is not like being peaceful. We can’t be both.”

“Do I really want a healed mind?
I’ll have many chances today to take the hand of God.”

Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom:     “The miracles worker’s goal in every circumstance is peace of mind.”

Hugh Prather, Morning Notes:               “I see the reality that most interests me. Seeing the divine is a matter of focus. It is not that difficult to find because it’s everywhere I look. But the images of malice, war, superficiality, death, insensitivity, and disease are also everywhere I look. My deeper interest determines which ‘reality’ dominates my mind and the one I pass on to others.”

Wayne Dyer:          “Everything you have ever done for which you may carry around self-contempt is in the past.”

Paul Ferrini:               “Only one who knows and accepts herself can find equality with another.”  

Unity’s Daily Word:

“I am a radiating center of life, love, and understanding.”

“If I ever find myself momentarily focusing on a negative aspect I have perceived either in me or in another person, I remind myself to turn the focus toward the presence of God, which is our true nature.”

“Concentrating on God – the good, the Truth, I turn any confusion I may have had into clarity. I release any judgmental tendency I may have entertained and remain open to understanding  and love.”

“I focus on what God has already done in and through me. I concentrate on the love I feel for others and for myself. I meditate on the light and power of God within me, the energy in my body, and the joy in my heart. Focused on the presence of God, I am a radiating center of life, love, and understanding.”

A Course in Miracles:               Lesson 167

“There is one Life, and that I share with God.”

Lesson 167

“There is one life, and that I share with God.”

This life I dream now is just that, a dream – an illusion. In truth I have never left God and will forever be One with God. I share that with God, as God shares that with me because we are but One. My life – my truth – my reality – is with God. There is no life apart from God.
