Seeeds for the Garden of your Mind

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“The memory of our “home” never left us.”

“Not all memories give us pleasure, and we sometimes dwell on those that injured our bodies or our spirits. It’s never beneficial to dredge up the painful past because it distorts the present. A good habit to form is whenever we think about yesterday or before, give the moment, instead, to thoughts of God. We’ll feel instantly healed of the past trauma if we refuse to lets it memory linger.

There is one memory that never hurts us. That’s the memory of the Real World, a place of love, peace, and joy presided over by God. Fortunately, we can’t forget this memory, not for long anyway. The ego tries to damage it, but our ties to God’s world, through the Holy Spirit in our minds, can’t be severed completely. Knowing that the Holy Spirit is always there waiting for our safe return softens the blows we encounter in this world.”

“I will remember “home” today if trouble begins to brew.”

Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “Part of working on ourselves, in order to be ready for a profound relationship, is learning how to support another person in being the best that they can be. Partners are meant to have a priestly role in each other’s lives. They are meant to help each other access the highest parts within themselves.”

Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “I alone choose to look at what ‘has my attention,’ and to look away from everything else. The ability to decide is merely the ability to give attention. Whether or not I acknowledge it at the time, I compile the evidence that makes my decision logical. The happier approach to life is to notice where the simplicity lies and to walk in that direction.”

Wayne Dyer, “…your job is not to say how, it is to say, ‘Yes!”

Paul Ferrini: “As soon as you give up the need to control, any work can become spiritual. As soon as you try to take charge, the most spiritual projects begin to fall apart.”

Unity’s Daily Word:

“Immersing myself in the beauty of nature,
I experience the omnipresence of God.”

“The beauty of nature is everywhere. Such beauty is found in small spaces, like a rooftop garden or a backyard pond. And, of course, nature is alive and abundant in the immense display of towering forest or in the subtle quiet of a field of grass.”

“Whether I am at the beach or in the mountains, in the desert or in the plains, when I am in close contact with nature, I am aware of being surrounded by and enfolded in the very life of God. Spirit’s breath is in the wind; Spirits substance is in the soil.”

“In nature, I see, hear, and respond to the omnipresent spirit of God in all its diverse expressions. I experience the glory of God pouring forth from every tree, from every flower, from every brook.”

A Course in Miracles: “Lesson 284

“I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt.”
