Seeds for the Garden of Your Mind


February 22

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“In our memory lies the Truth.”

“No matter what religion we were raised with, we no doubt were told we had never been forsaken by God. A Course in Miracles concurs with that idea; however, it expresses it a bit differently. In its pages we learn that God and all spiritual truths exist within our memory even though we are not conscious of them – unless we specifically seek to remember them. It’s comforting to be reminded that God is always present.

Perhaps we’re confused about our lack of memory of God. There’s an explanation. When the ego split off from the Whole of Creation, it immediately and intentionally forgot from whence it came. But God, being love and only love, didn’t forget the ego. It placed in its mind, thus all of our minds, the Holy Spirit as the memory of Him and our real home.

What value does this memory have for us? It’s able to remove the sting of the situations we project, providing we tap into it. How? By allowing us a perspective other than the the one we’ve created. God answers all our requests every time. We simply have to call.

“I’ll have the option to remember God in the midst of turmoil today.
It will change what I see absolutely.”


Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “In asking for healing, we are not just asking for our own health, but rather we are asking that the idea of sickness be removed from the mind of God’s Son.”

Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “My mind is like a hand that can open or clench. The choice is mine. If I am capable of tightening my mental grip, I am also capable of loosening it. I am free to let go of wanting and getting, having and losing, worrying and denying, all of which require me to narrow my mind. A relaxed mind can’t sustain a fearful or judgmental focus. Today I will notice each time my mind tightens, for if divine is real, I can rest in the truth that there is nowhere else I need be and nothing else I must have.”

Wayne Dyer: “You must learn to increase your energy vibrations from the low range of anger, bitterness, and resentment to the higher ranges of kindness, love, and forgiveness. The moment that you no longer react with that low energy, the illusion of your problem will be disappear.”

Paul Ferrini: “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.”

Unity’s Daily Word:

“Through the transforming power of God’s grace,
I am wise, strong, and secure.”

“Through grace, God’s spirit within me energizes my mind and body without my having to request greater strength. God’s energizing spirit continues to fill and strengthen me at all times and in all activities.”

“I am open and receptive to the grace of God that is my divine inheritance. In any moment that I appear to be experiencing a lack of some kind, I gently return my awareness to God’s spirit – which surrounds, upholds, and sustains me. Through the transforming power of God’s grace, I am wise, strong, and secure.”

“I see the divinity of all people and with all the universe. Every tree that provides shade, every plant that provides sustenance, and every animal that provides enjoyment reminds me of God’s grace blessing all creation.”

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 53

“Review Lesson 11 – 15”
“My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world.”
“I am upset because I see a meaningless world.”
“A meaningless world engenders fear.”
“God did not create a meaningless world.”
“My thoughts are images that I have made.”


I am seeing a world without meaning because I am project my meaningless thoughts. And I become upset because I am seeing a world without meaning, and yet those thoughts are mine. The world I see, a world without meaning, is a world of fear. Fear is the opposite of love. God truly did not make the world of fear – the world that has no meaning. What I see is what I think I see from the thoughts I think.
