Seeds for the Garden of Your Mind

January 29

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“The spirit, not the body, is what’s real.”

“Everything that we look at and touch affirms that our bodies are real. We check the mirror each morning and see our reflection. We do push-ups and leg lifts to tighten and strengthen our muscles. We bump an elbow and screech in pain. Department stores attract us like magnets with the latest fashions to adorn our bodies. Yet the Course teaches us that our bodies aren’t real!”

Anybody who has ever had a blister, a broken arm, a sprained ankle resists the information that the body isn’t real. The pain certainly felt real enough. Perhaps it’s easier to take on faith that our bodies are vehicles for learning. Outside our minds, our bodies don’t exist. That still isn’t easy to grasp, unconditionally, but we may have discovered in Course groups that others have come to believe it. For now, let’s follow their example.”

“Some things I will have to accept on faith for a time.
Making the decision to do so is the only hard part.”

Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “The path of healing is the path of the pilgrim. At a certain point, the seeker becomes a pilgrim.”

Wayne Dyer: “Your highest self only wants you to be at peace. It does not judge, compare or demand that you defeat anyone, or be better than anyone. It only wants you to be at peace.”

Paul Ferrini, Miracle of Love: “It is not necessary to seek God, because God is already the essence of who you are. To connect with God, simply remove all judgments and thoughts that do not bless you and others. These are not your essence. They are false ideas that you carry around. They are the veils, the illusions that appear to separate you from your own heart and the heart of God. Remove the illusions, lift the veils and you will rest in the heart. Rest in the heart, and God will abide with you.”

Unity’s Daily Word:

“I rejoice in the diversity of humanity
that is enriching the world.”

“Looking through the glass of a hospital nursery at babies who are only a few hours old, we understand that each one is unique, yet each carries the divine spark within.”

“The Christ Presence is within every newborn. Each has the divine potential to grow into countless combinations of abilities, given and developed. Before us may lie a future athlete or scientist, teacher or physician, builder or playwright.”

“The world is blessed by the diversity of its people – people of every color, creed, age, and gender. Each is expressing different talents and skills. Each inhabitant of earth has great potential from the Christ within and is a beautiful, unlimited, and holy being.”

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 29

“God is in everything I see.”

Comment; There is nowhere that God is not and there is no place that I see that God is not. God is ever present. There is no place God is not. What I see I see in Love – therefore, what I see I see in God. When I look upon another, I can see the God in them as well. The God in me sees the God in them.
