Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:
“Do nothing without the counsel of God.”
“When we take stock of our past, we recoil from many of the memories. In some instances, we felt victimized. In others, we were the perpetrators. Whoever was the culprit in each situation failed to seek the counsel of God. Had the voice of the Holy Spirit been sought, a hurtful act would never have been would never have been committed.
It’s possible that we can act I n a loving manner even when we fail to seek proper guidance. We can’t be certain, however, that we are doing so. Thus, the safest avenue is to ask for the Holy Spirit’s wisdom and then wait. It will always come, but not necessarily as quickly as we think we need it. That’s what often triggers the ego to get into the act. Its impatience moves us to force control, and unfortunate outcomes result.
God promises that we’ll move through our experiences safely and that we’ll learn what we need from them if we choose Him as our companion. Life can be satisfying when we journey in good company.”
“I won’t be faced with struggle or confusion today if I seek proper counsel.”
Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “As our thoughts rise, the worlds rises. This is the resurrection of the human mind.”
Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “Tolerance and understanding transcend ‘right and wrong.’ There can be no absolute right or wrong in a world of individuals. Reality is what reality is. Whatever it may be, it is so vast that no one person sees it all. There could be no more relationship standoffs if simply this much was realized: We are all looking at the immense reality – and each of us is seeing something. When I reject another person’s point of view completely, I am saying that he or she is not looking at anything. I already know what I have to say. Wouldn’t it at least be more interesting to hear what they have to say?”
Caroline Myss: “Once you have opened yourself to God, once God shines a direct light within your soul, your life becomes a journey of faith. Mysteries will seem to fill you to overflowing, but faith and prayer will help you face both the known and the unknown.”
Eckhart Tolle: “How do you let go attachment to things? Don’t even try. It’s impossible. Attachment to things drops away by itself when you no longer seek to find yourself in them.”
Unity’s Daily Word:
“God guides me through open doors to greater good.”
“Open doors are my opportunities to learn, grow, and improve. They lead me to corridors of life where I receive and contribute gifts of inspiration, talent, and physical substance. Open doors are part of the divine order in my life.”
“I have often heard the saying, ‘When one door closes, another one opens.’ Yet instead of waiting for another door of opportunity to open as in this analogy, might I actually find that a closing door is responding to the powerful draft from a door that has already opened? I expect doors of opportunity to be swinging on their hinges with the momentum of the powerful action of God’s good.”
“God leads me to and guides me through open doors to greater, more abundant good.”
A Course in Miracles: Lesson 136
“Sickness is a defense against the truth.”
When I see myself as “sick” I realize that I am not willing to see the truth of me, I am not willing to see me as the complete, whole, eternal Son of God. When I see myself sick, I see myself in fear – fear that I am separate from God – fear that I shall receive some punishment from God for the thoughts I hold while I am in this dream of separation. There is nothing in truth that requires any defenses.
