From Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:
“God is the ultimate Teacher.”
“The Course manual says that we are God’s Teachers. Perhaps we feel deficient in this role because of the mayhem still evident in our lives. Let’s not forget two things: People typically learn their most crucial lessons from watching others make errors, and mistakes are instructive if they are acknowledged.
We believe that God is the ultimate Teacher, but how do we actually learn from Him? It’s far easier than we might have imagined. When we watch friends or strangers behave caringly, not selfishly, toward others, we are seeing God in action. We can follow their lead. When we are faced with a situation that demands a decision or a response, we can quietly ask God to lend us a hand. We’ll ultimately feel the best answer from within.
The Holy Spirit, which rests in our minds, is God’s special tutor for our education here. We are never out of Its range when there’s learning to be done.”
“I will be attentive and loving to others today.
That is God’s key lesson for me and everyone else.”
From Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “No meetings are accidental. “Those who are to meet will meet, because together they have the potential for a holy relationship.”
Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “Because God is with me, it is possible to know peace wherever I am. Without using mental gymnastics and arbitrarily selecting data, I can’t construct a self-evident case that God is present. So unless I remain conscious, I reflexively drift back into acting as if I am alone and thinking as if my ideas are private. Nevertheless, external experience has to be given meaning, because each individual has a different take on the same food, fog, music, election, time of day, or lizard. This means that the day I experience is created by my mental state, which can acknowledge either nothing greater and more important than ‘me’ or it can acknowledge the kingdom of heaven.”
From Wayne Dyer, There’s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem:
“When you come to the realization that you can choose peace even in the most trying of moments you become an agent of God.”
From Paul Ferrini, The Silence of the Heart: “The more you claim your freedom to be yourself, the easier it becomes for you to grant others the same freedom.”
From Unity’s Daily Word:
“With spiritual vision,
I see a blessing from God within every happening.”
“Countless events will take place throughout my day. A few will appear significant, but most will see trivial. I could judge any of them as ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ However, my intention is to look with spiritual vision so that I see the blessing every happening holds in store for me.”
“It is easy to respond in a positive way when things seem to be going well. But if I feel unnerved by what I see with my physical eyes, I have the opportunity to see the bigger picture, using spiritual vision. Then I am able to see through the challenge to the blessing it offers me. A challenge always brings the gift of an opportunity to respond in more loving ways than I have ever done before.”
“As I use spiritual vision, I become stronger, more patient, more loving – a fuller expression of God in my life.”
A Course in Miracles: Lesson 108
“To give and to receive are one in truth.”
What can I possibly give and receive at the same time? Here is where ego will jump in with many arguments about my giving anything, for then I shall no longer have it. But, in truth, I can give only love for that is all that exists. In giving love, I receive love. This is a concept foreign to the ego, but natural to me.

That's true... being me allows me to let others be themselves.
