Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:
“We are told all we need to know.”
“We often crave to know every detail of every moment of the rest of our lives, but we don’t need them. We couldn’t handle them, really. We are given all the information we need as the moments tick by. The Holy Spirit knows far better than we what we need to know, and when. And we’ll always find it out when the time is right.
When we grow in our acceptance of this principle, our lives will grow simpler. Our task is to turn to the Holy Spirit, not the ego, for direction. Our minds contain them both, of course. Recognizing their separate voices comes with practice and the willingness to be peaceful rather than “right.”
Our lives don’t become less exciting when we let the Holy Spirit be in charge. In fact, some might say that going along for the ride, rather than steering the car, offers us unexpected adventure and surprise.”
“Letting someone else decide the route
leaves me free to enjoy the many stops on the way.”
Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “Children are not children. They are just younger people. We have the same soul at 60 that we had at 40, and the same soul at 25 that we have when we were 5. If anything, children are wiser. They know more than we do, and have at least as much to teach us as we have to teach them.”
Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “Make the peace of God more important that daily tasks. It’s essential to plot a course, to set a purpose, to have a way. Within the bewildering array of concepts presented by the world, what will be my direction at the start of the day; what will be my path? This question addresses my heart’s purpose, not my to-do list of duties and chores. It is infinitely more important than brushing my teeth in circles, winning the war with my hair, eating a ‘good’ breakfast, exercising ‘long enough,’ rushing ‘to get ready,’ or any other priority I may habitually have upon rising.”
Wayne Dyer, Manifest Your Destiny: “Make your word law! If you say it, live up to it lovingly.”
Paul Ferrini, Enlightenment for Everyone: “You’ve probably heard people say they try to “go with the flow.” Unfortunately, they do so while standing on the riverbank. There is no way you can know what it means “to go with the flow” until you jump into the river.”
From Unity’s Daily Word:
“I express the freedom of Spirit within.”
“True freedom arises from within. It is not determined by status or wealth. It is the freedom of Spirit within that cannot be denied by any external limitations.”
“When I awake each morning, I have the freedom to choose how to greet the day ahead. My choice is to look forward to this day with joyous expectation.”
“I am also free to choose which qualities I will encompass throughout the day. My decision is that I am going to allow God’s presence to shine brightly through me today. And in this way, I am loving and compassionate in all of my activities.”
“My choices of expression are limitless. Thank You, God, for this joyous opportunity to express the freedom of Spirit within.”
A Course in Miracles: Lesson 102
“I share God’s Will for happiness for me.”
I share the Will of God in all things. I accept and am grateful for the happiness that is mine because of who I am. I share in God’s Will because God’s Will and my will are but One Will.
Namaste – Ron
