Seeds for the Garden of your Mind


May 4

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“Others’ faults inform us of who we are.”


“We resist the idea that the traits we abhor in others are our own. They simply can’t be! But the wiser ones on this journey say, “Think again.” The fault in our thinking comes from believing in separation. As long as we see other people as having separate bodies and separate minds, we will not understand that who we see is a reflection of some aspect of ourselves.

Being convinced, finally, that we are One comes from our willingness to suspend our disbelief. Accepting this as truth comes more easily with even a little effort.

Faults exist only in the ego. They have no life outside of that. They are illusory, absolutely. But they seem so real, we think. How cunning is the ego. Fortunately its strength doesn’t match the strength of the Holy Spirit, whose perception wipes out all the strength of the Holy Spirit, whose perception wipes out all illusion. Going to It for help is the only requirement for eliminating faults, ours and those we imagine others to have.”

“I must remember that I am who I see today and everyday.”

Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “Our purpose on this earth is to be happy,” and it is the Holy Spirit’s function to help us achieve that. He leads us to whatever material abundance supports us in standing forth joyously within the world, without binding us further to it.”

Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “I am not healed alone. Our potential as a healer has no point beyond which it can’t go. To be kind to those around us and devote ourselves to their peace will do far more than makes us happy. It will help release the world from pain and begin turning hell into heaven for every living thing.”

Caroline Myss: “The soul and the spirit exist in two different realms. The human spirit represents the self’s – the ego’s - sense of the divine in the world; it is an expression of one’s personality and rational mind, whereas the human soul is the essence of divinity itself.”

Eckhart Tolle: “The unchecked striving for more, for endless growth, is a dysfunction and a disease. It is the same dysfunction the cancerous cell manifests, whose only goal is to multiply itself, unaware that it is bringing about its own destruction by destroying the organism of which is a part.”


Unity’s Daily Word:

“The energizing life of God is flowing throughout my being.
I am whole.”

“A gentle, flowing waterfall invites me to meditate on the healing energy that is always flowing within me. Just as flowing water washes away debris, this healing flow within me washes away all impurities and tension, restoring my body and mind.”

“Just as easily and naturally as that water flows over the fall, God’s natural healing energy flows over and within me. This healing flow is moving throughout my body, washing away any thought of illness or pain, and leaving only my natural state of health and energy.”

“Healing is an ongoing, flowing process within me. In an ever-increasing awareness of this healing flow, I am energized, relaxed, and restored. I am healthy and whole.”

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 124

“Let me remember I am one with God.”


And let me always remember that I One with God. This is what I keep forgetting when I believe I am this body – this separate form of nothing. I AM One with God and I shall forever be One with God. As God Is, I AM.

Namaste - Ron
