Seeds for the Garden of your Mind

October 24

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“All relationships can be holy.”

“We are involved in many relationships: co-workers, neighbors, family members. Some relationships are more enjoyable and nurturing than others, but that shouldn’t surprise us.

What makes some of them good and some not so good? The level of quiet peace we feel while in the presence of some people is a strong indication of which are good. We feel in tune with some people, not competitive, mistrusting, or superior to, but rather warmly alike. We have decided, consciously or unconsciously, to join with those individuals and thus are walking a common path.

What the relationships in which we feel trapped? We can’t switch jobs, perhaps, or move to a new neighborhood. How can we tolerate the seemingly harmful relationships? The Course and our Teachers suggest we seek points of commonality with the people in those troubled relationships. They are there, we’re assured, or they wouldn’t be on our path.”

“I can do my part to create a holy relationship today
where one didn’t exist yesterday.”

Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “You ask yourself, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.”

Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “There are many ways to a peaceful mind. Difficult situations are made more difficult by ruling out the small steps that could help. Today I will neutralize my desire for complexity by acknowledging the obvious. I’ll not hesitate to look straight at what usually happens that upsets me. Whatever the difficulty, there is a way past it – that is, there is a way for me to have peace. Actually, there are many ways, and I will see at least a few of them if I will set aside my self-imposed restrictions, take time to look at what is going on, and not be too picky about which means I use to put the problem behind me.”

Wayne Dyer: “Practice the art of being an eternal optimist.”

Paul Ferrini: “All creation is really co-creation. You determine what you want, commit to it and move toward it, and the opportunity you need to realize your goal come your way.”

Unity’s Daily Word:

“This is the day a new me is emerging.”

“I may have wondered what it would be like to be someone else – to experience a life that is completely different than mine, to have a new name of my own choosing.”

“Yet in my heart of hearts, I know who I am – a beloved child of God who is living a life so filled with possibility that a new me is continually emerging. Each day I am made anew. Each moment of the day is an opportunity for me to learn and to grown in my awareness of God. Every experience of my life is a transformative experience – one that reveals more of the new me that is emerging.”

“I am a different person today than who I was a child, and I become a new person with new outlooks and attitudes with every experience. Every day is an opportunity to reveal the new me that is emerging.”
