Seeds for the Garden of Your Mind

July 3

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“Seek peacefulness, not specific answers.”

Because we think we need to know exactly how to proceed in all areas of life and because we harbor particular wants and desires, we seek complicated, detailed solutions for every situation that surfaces. We muddle our minds with worry over how we should do our part in whatever circumstance beckons. Considering the strength of the ordinary ego, that’s not surprising. The ego wants what it wants when it wants it!

There is another way to do our part, however. We can dispense with the idea  of detail all together. That may seem unusual but only because we are so accustomed to letting the ego run our lives. Seeking no answer, no solution can be refreshing. Desiring peace rather than a complicated agenda of activities is so much less burdensome. We’ll feel like new people, as if a miracle has occurred. And indeed it has. Changing our minds about what to seek changes everything about what we get.”

“What I seek, I will find. I will quietly remember this today.”

Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom:     “The angels are calling us up. We are meant to fly, and with our spirits, we can. We are meant to ascend, to transmute the negative mass of the world’s corrupted thought forms.”

Hugh Prater, Morning Notes:          “A state of longing blocks the experience of wholeness. A life well lived is not consumed with one futile search after another – as all searches for what I believe I don’t have must be. A life well lived is consumed with present discovering and present finding. It is a movable banquet, a deep and ongoing commemoration of what I possess in Truth, regardless of my circumstances or the vagaries of fate.”

Wayne Dyer:     “When you think that something is impossible your give more power to the thought of it being impossible.”

Paul Ferrini:          “…choose a partner who does not push all of your buttons at once. Choose a partner who desires a conscious relationship and is willing to take responsibility for facing his or her fears. Choose a partner you like and respect, a partner who can hold a safe, loving space for you. Do not settle for less.”

Unity’s Daily Word:

“Divine order is established in my life and in my world.”

“I behold divine order in the world around me. If the affairs of humankind tempt me to think otherwise, I pause and look beyond those situation to see a world that functions according to divine law.”

“The stars remain in their ordained places in the heavens. Earth revolves in its orbit each day. The moon shines forth in its fullness, reverts to the darkness of the new moon, and then in time completes its cycle.”

“The shell of an egg must crack in order for the fledgling within to come forth and continue the cycle of its life. The breaking of the shell is part of the orderly routine of life as the chick pecks its way free and learns to fly.”

“I give thanks that my life, too, is governed by this same divine order.”
