Seeds for the Garden of your Mind

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“What can I learn from this situation?”

“Everything that happens to us can be spiritually enlightening. Trusting this principle can lessen the trauma of any situation. The loss of a loved one hurts, but we remember that God never leaves us. The disappearance of a favorite possession may upset us, but we know possessions don’t love us and we can survive without them.”

“We’re moving along a learning curve, passing other students one day and being passed the next. Our destination is the same; we’re going home to rejoin God and forget this tiny, mad nightmare we have been living.”

“We find great relief in remembering that no experience is so big or so awful we can’t quickly decipher the lesson and move one. Not getting bogged down in trivia refreshes us.”

“Today’s lessons have my name on them.”

Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “We get in life that which we focus on. Continual focus on darkness leads us, as individuals and as a society, further into darkness. Focus on the light brings us into the light.”

Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “The easy way out” is to be mentally honest. If I don’t take responsibility for my attitude, my ego will simply play out its preprogrammed agenda. This would seem to be ‘less trouble,’ but it isn’t, because the ego’s agenda always includes turmoil and struggle. Today I will notice how hard it is to be at odds with everything – to feel superior, to be jealous, to be a victim, to judge – in short, how hard it is to be mentally dishonest.”

Wayne Dyer: “It is impossible for hope and despair to exist simultaneously, one simply cancels the other. Often it is despair that cancels out hope.”

Paul Ferrini: “The gifts of God do not feed your ego expectations. Their value is of a higher order.”

Unity’s Daily Word:

“The light of Spirit guides me to my highest good.
My life is blessed.”

“Each day brings questions about what are the best actions to take. Perhaps I have issues to consider about a family member or my work, and my thoughts seem to be taking me nowhere. Then I know to take time to stop whatever I am doing, quiet all my thoughts, and let the light of Spirit flood my soul. The light of Spirit then guides me to the highest good for all.”

“How wonderful it is to realize that I am never alone in making the simplest to the most complex decision. There is nowhere I can ever be where Spirit is not, for Spirit and I are ever one.”

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 251

“I am in need of nothing but the truth.”
