Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:
“To forgive, to heal, to love is why we’re here.”
“We want to believe there is a grand design for our lives. Many of us believe that God needs us and us alone to handle a particular job. If that brings us peace and security, it’s worth believing. But it might be simpler to believe that God just wants us to love each other. According to the Course, our careers or the tasks we’re working on are not as important as how we treat the people we meet each day.
It is never wrong to do whatever work we’re doing to the best of our ability. It may be that no person can do it quite as successfully. We all hope to end up doing work we can enjoy and that contributes to the well-being of others. But at the very least, we can still contribute to the well-being of others by treating them lovingly.
Believing that we are here, now, for the sole purpose of loving others means we can all do an excellent job, no matter our age, our gender, or race; no matter our present livelihood or our dreams for the future.”
“Today I can treat others with grace and respect.”
Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “A healthy, vital society is not in which we all agree. Where people are not free to disagree, there can be no democracy, since that is what democracy is.”
Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “The voice of the past is not the voice of God. For me to take from the countless contradictory experiences I have had and emphasize only a certain type of experience, and then install it as a guide for future action, is not self-trust, but a lack of it. I have never known anyone who had a completely balanced approach to life. Everyone overemphasizes something. Surely I’m not the exception! Our past self is in the past; our present self is in the present, and only in the present can it be trusted.”
Caroline Myss: “Coming to God is the soul’s task. And the awakened soul will agitate and pull at you until you wade in and begin to reach out to the divine.”
Eckhart Tolle: “At other times, the fault may be there, but by focusing on it, sometimes to the exclusion of everything else, you amplify it. And what you react to in another, you strengthen in yourself.”
Unity’s Daily Word:
“As an awesome creation of God, I am worthy of good.”
“I may look at a sculpture or painting and feel in awe of the masterpiece itself and also the artist who created it. I appreciate the wisdom and ingenuity that such work requires. Yet I realize how much more awesome each masterpiece of the Master Creator is: each person and all life from the seemingly simple to the most magnificent and complex.”
“I, too, am an awesome creation of God, deserving of the goodness my Creator has for me. This goodness includes unlimited life, wisdom, prosperity, and fulfillment.”
“As I live from the Truth of God as Master Creator and all creation as a masterpiece, I accept and give thanks for the good that comes to me and through me and all creation.”
A Course in Miracles: Lesson 151
“All things are echoes of the Voice for God.”
All things are echoes of the Holy Spirit – the Voice within us – the Self of us. What is an echo but a resounding over and over again of that which is said – in this case, said in truth. All that I look upon in my world, with the assistance of the Holy Spirit, are but echoes of my mind – projections of my thoughts I hold in love. When I judge, I judge based on what I believe the past was. When I call upon the Holy Spirit, I see clearly in the now – this moment – with no past to cloud my view.
