Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:
“The body is the ego’s projection.”
“Many of us are critical of our bodies. We perceive ourselves as too tall or too short, too fat or too thin. The list goes on. What we think, however, is what we get: our bodies reflect the message the ego dictates.
This can be confusing. But remember, we tend to focus on our imperfections, and the attention we give them strengthens them. So while we claim to want a better physique or a healthier body, we dwell on how our bodies disappoint us. In the process, we manifest those disappointments.
Stopping a particular thought pattern takes willingness. We need to change our perspective intentionally and radically and stop lecturing ourselves about how we should look. Aligning with the Holy Spirit rather than the ego diminishes the importance of how we look. The miracle is that how we look changes also.
“My body is only as real as I make it today.
I am free to think only love.”
Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “In asking God to heal you, you are committing to the choice to be healed. This means the choice to change.”
Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “Today I will see through the eyes of Love. I am called to a great wedding. I am asked to embrace Life everywhere I look. Life’s vision sees the threads of innocence woven through all people and things, like a shaft of light falling across treasured objects long hidden in darkness. Because I am real, and because Life is real, I must already be a part of Life, and it a part of me. There is a place in me so harmless and still that all fear has dropped away. As snow unifies a landscape and moonlight transforms it, today my vision will arise from this place, and it will blanket the world in peace.”
Wayne Dyer: “We are eternal, spiritual beings disguised as fathers, spouses, managers, proprietors, and owners. When we know our true divine nature, we stop taking everything personally, including our own live.s”
Paul Ferrini: “When you acknowledge the spark and nurture it, the light within you grows. The more attention you give to it, the more it expands until your whole being is surrounded by light.”
Unity’s Daily Word:
“All is coming together for good
as my life unfolds in divine in divine order.”
“Looking at the tapestry that is my life, I understand that divine order is always present and active. I see the desires of my heart creating my life as it evolves in greater purpose and meaning.”
“Who I am and what I am contributing for the good of all are woven into the tapestry of my life. I hold my thoughts and actions up to the light of my inner vision to evaluate them. God is good and good is my heart’s desire.”
“I am aware that the universe responds to my conscious and unconscious requests. Therefore, I desire the insight to recognize that the good I have affirmed could appear wrapped in a package that looks different from what I expected. I understand that, as I express gratitude for my good, I open a doorway ever wider to even greater good.”
A Course in Miracles: Lesson 58
Review Lessons 36 – 40
“My holiness envelops everything I see.”
“My holiness blesses the world.”
“There is nothing my holiness cannot do.”
“My holiness is my salvation.”
“I am blessed as a Son of God.”
In my world, I often use the word “holy” or “holiness” to indicate a state of being God-like. But what I feel is a state of being “whole” or “complete” as God is. My wholeness blesses my world and there is nothing that I cannot do in remembering this. This is my salvation. In my completeness – my wholeness – my Oneness with God is All That Is. I am the Son of God – I am as God is – I am the image and likeness of God. I AM THAT IS.
Namaste - Ron
