Seeds for the Garden of your Mind

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“Miracles can happen on a regular basis.”

“We may often say, “ I could sure use a miracle.” How many times a day do we wish for something different to be happening? We want the miracle of winning the lottery, perhaps. Or the miracle of the perfect spouse or job or boss. Waking up with a different body would seem like a miracle to many of us. So would developing the perfect golf swing. The actual miracle is that we can have any of these. We can have all of them, in fact. But how?

We learn from the Course that miracles are as plentiful as we make up our minds they are. What brings them about is our willingness to change how we perceive the job, the boss, the body, the golf game. Miracles reside in our minds. They always have. The wonderful part is that we can have as many miracles as we truly desire.

If a situation is bothering us, could it be that there’s a different way to see it? We’ll discover, just as quickly as we try, that nothing looks the same once we ask the question and free our minds for the real answer.”

“I can have as many miracles as I want today.
Feeling only love and joy is possible if I change my mind.”

Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “The world changes when we change. The world softens when we soften. The world loves us when we choose to love the world.”

Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “God knows the way to my heart. God is not nearer because we think about God. God could not be nearer. God’s strength is our strength. God’s life is our life. God’s happiness is our happiness. We are each made out of God. Even now, God breathes into us our purpose, our motivation, and our fulfillment.”

Wayne Dyer: “When a person is talking to you and you are slipping into the mode of feeling angry about how you are being talked to, you can remind yourself in that instant to abstain from thinking harmful or angry thoughts.”

Paul Ferrini: “Surrendering to me is unlike any act of surrender you can know in the world. For the world would use your surrender harshly to control you, but I would use it gently to release you from falsehood and give you back your true Self.”

Unity’s Daily Word:

“I am being transformed by the renewal of my mind.”

“The thoughts I hold in my mind are my ongoing conversation with God, and my thoughts help to define my experience from moment to moment. The way I think right now not only creates my view of the world – my current reality – but it also shapes my future experiences.”

“As I entertain thoughts of abundance and peace, I am inspired to speak and act in thoughtful ways. I am willing to examine my thoughts and to implement divine guidance in my everyday life.”

“Through inner guidance, I discern the thoughts that reflect Truth – what is good and acceptable and perfect – from the ones rooted in misunderstanding or fantasy. I am transformed by the renewal of my mind.”

A Course in Miracles:
Lesson 32

“I have invented the world I see.”

I have invented the world I make with my imagination – with my thoughts. This world is my world alone. Yes, I share it with others, or so it seems, but it is all a world that I have made. Realizing that, I have to ask myself this – is this as good as I can make – or can I improve on what I see? .”
