Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:
“Fear may come and go.”
“Fear visits us when we forget our union with all others and with God. Why is it so hard to remember that we are One, joined for all time with our Creator? It’s hard because the ego doesn’t want us to remember that. The ego wants us to think we are separate, unequal human beings. The ego wants us to fight with others, to be uneasy with others, to fear the presence of others. The ego is nourished by the insanity that makes us feel separate.
Fortunately, we can turn away from fear every time the ego snares us. Its hold on us is caused by our own unwillingness to ask the Holy Spirit for help, for a different perspective, for even a little awareness of the love that’s always present. When the struggle is great, the best we may be able to do is seek some peace a minute at a time. But that’s a beginning.
Peace is elusive, but it doesn’t have to be. The Holy Spirit is only a tiny thought away. In an instant, we can have the peace and joy we claim to want. This gift awaits us.”
“I am as free of fear as I want to be every day.
Today beckons.”
Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “When we think with love, we are literally co-creating with God. And when we’re not thinking with love, since only love is real, then we’re actually not thinking at all.”
Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “I put myself in a position of weakness when I cherish a grievance. When I hold onto resentment or bitterness, I can’t help but see myself as a victim, because I have put someone else in control. And as long as I think of myself as a victim, I have nothing but weakness to extend to others. Thus a victim self-image is not only damaging to me but to the people I love.”
Caroline Myss: “Silence is the soul’s oxygen, ‘the true friend who never betrays,’ wrote Confucius: ‘the one and only voice of God,’ according to Melville. In silence, you can hear your soul’s guidance.”
Eckhart Tolle: “All that is required to become free of the ego is to be aware of it, since awareness and ego are incompatible. Awareness is the power concealed in the present moment. This is why we may also call it Presence. The ultimate purpose of human existence…your purpose, is to bring that power into this world. And this why becoming free of the ego cannot be made into a goal to be attained at some point in the future. Only Presence can free you of the ego, and you can only be present.”
Unity’s Daily Word:
“I am happy, whole, peaceful, and secure.”
“My Spirit-centered attitude shows in the positive way I feel emotionally and physically. Communicating with an attitude enriched by divine love, I speak words of kindness, comfort, and cheer. Positive energy reverberates within me and flows out from me as happiness and peace.”
“I don’t dwell on why things are not going according to my plan. I look for the common ground that I share with all other children of God. Working together, we dissolve any misunderstanding and bring about the perfect plan.”
“My prayers are affirmations of health and wholeness of mind and body. I am happy, whole, peaceful, and secure.”

“By grace I live. By grace I am released.”
“There is no cruelty in God and none in me.”
“God is but Love, and therefore so am I.”
