Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:
“To forgive is to know love.”
“Holding a grudge is so commonplace that we do it unconsciously. We imagine getting even, even for the smallest infractions. Why is this so important to us? There’s only one reason. We live, too often, from the ego’s perspective rather than the Holy Spirit’s, and the ego can’t perceive love in its many guises, or the appeal for healing and help. The Holy Spirit performs that miracles for us.
How do we go from holding a grudge to feeling forgiveness? The path is always the same. We can make this simple request: “Holy Spirit, please help me feel and see only love.” Making the request as often as necessary is the key to forgiveness. There is no preferred time line. Some days we’ll make the journey to peacefulness quickly and efficiently. At other times we’ll have to “change our minds” repeatedly.
It doesn’t matter how long it takes us to really know forgiveness. Once we do, nothing will ever look quite the same again. Nothing will ever feel quite the same either.
“I will reap the benefit of letting go of grudges and forgiving others today.”
Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “Love in your mind produces love in your life. This is the meaning of Heaven. Fear in your mind produces fear in your life. This is the meaning of Hell.”
Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “I will give peace with my thoughts and cause no harm with my words. We enter the awareness of many people in the course of a day. With each encounter there is little exchange, and we leave something behind. This trail, and not our individual accomplishments, is our legacy to the world. At the end of my life, what tracks do I want to look back and see?
Wayne Dyer: “Give up your personal history which is nothing more than low energy thoughts that you carry around about the way things used to be and why you are so upset today because they are no longer are that way.”
Paul Ferrini: “The truth, the path to the divine, the life of the witness runs through your heart. There is no way, no truth, no life, except through you.”
Unity’s Daily Word:
“God is bringing forth the new me
who is emerging now.
“God is the answer to every challenge in life. Whether a decision I am to make seems to be of greater or lesser importance, letting go and letting God is the surest way for me to make the right choice.”
“As I let go and let God be God in my life, I am declaring that I am not alone in making any decision or in taking any action. The very wisdom that created the universe is my guide. All that God is and all that God is capable of doing is here for me in every moment.”
“In letting go and letting God, I am releasing the thought that anything from the past can hold me back from living fully in the present. I let of a belief in limitation and let God show me the unlimited potential that is within me. God is bringing forth the new me who is emerging now.”
A Course in Miracles: Lesson 51
“Review Lessons 1 – 5”
“Nothing I see in this room mean anything.”
“I have given everything I see all the meaning that it has for me.”
“I do not understand anything I see.”
“These thoughts do not mean anything.”
“I am never upset for the reason I think.”
Only within the first 200 Lessons of the Course, are Review Lessons included. Review Lessons account for 70 of the first 200 Lessons. Yesterday we completed 50 Lessons and now the author is repeating those 50 Lessons over the next 10 days. We could all come up with ideas (thoughts) as to why the Lessons are repeated, but the very fact that they are shows me the importance of those first 50 Lessons.
This first review of Lessons 1 – 5 are seen by me in this manner: Nothing I see means anything to me other than what ever meaning I give it. If nothing I see has any meaning for me, then I surely do not understand anything I see. And these thoughts I am having about all this mean nothing as well. I am never upset over anything, but I am upset over nothing. Nothing is what I see.
