Seeds for the Garden of your Mind

August 24

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“The opportunity to be healed and to heal others is ever present.”

“Nearly every day we are confronted by evidence of someone’s illness. As beginning students of the Course, we often resist the idea that people want to have cancer or diabetes or worse. But they do.

Some students walk away from the Course rather than try to accept what they don’t understand. Those of us sharing these words have chosen the alternative. That doesn’t mean we won’t struggle against some ideas, but when we do, we can repeatedly ask the Holy Spirit for help in seeing the truth. There is no magic in coming to understand the truth, but there is freedom – freedom from anxiety, guilt, illness, and pain. And when we become free, we are examples that others can emulate.”

“I will look at the sick today as being well.
How I see myself is how I will see others.”

Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “The world is healed one loving thought at a time.”

Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “God gave us our mind to make us happy. We are free to misuse the gifts God gave us, or at least to imagine that we have that power. We can dream of a world where there is no real evidence of the divine, where all things live off the death of something else, and where everything, even the stars and their constellations, eventually end. But the smile of God, which knows no time, hasn’t vanished simply because we fantasize it has. We are free to misuse our mind, but we can also use it kindly, peacefully, and generously, which allows us to experience its divine origin and partake of its true power.”

Wayne Dyer: “Make an effort to refuse to keep any problem in your thoughts for more than a few moments.”

Paul Ferrini: “If you want to discover your integrity, you need to stop pretending to be a victim. You need to stop pretending that you weren’t given the right tools. You need to take the clay and work with it.”

Unity’s Daily Word:

“Through the grace of God,
I live a wonder-filled life.”

“Jesus is a shining example of divine grace in expression. His miraculous birth, His ability to heal, and His dedication to teaching showed others how to let God work in and through them. Jesus showed us how we, too, can experience the wonder of God.”

“Everything we do with a dedication to putting God first is an acknowledgment of divine grace. Whether we are trying to help a loved one or a stranger, the love of God blesses us and blesses them.”

“Our expressions of joy at the wonder of God all around us are also expressions of our appreciation of God’s grace. Through grace, we are able to live our lives to the fullest and to enjoy our lives as they were meant to be lived – all according to a divine plan.”

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 236

“I rule my mind, which I alone must rule.”
