11. HOW IS PEACE POSSIBLE IN THIS WORLD? P 4
4 Peace is impossible to those who look on war. Peace is inevitable to those who offer peace. How easily, then, is your judgment of the world escaped! It is not the world that makes peace seem impossible. It is the world you see that is impossible. Yet has God’s Judgment on this distorted world redeemed it and made it fit to welcome peace. And peace descends on it in joyous answer. Peace now belongs here, because a Thought of God has entered. What else but a Thought of God turns hell to Heaven merely by being what it is? The earth bows down before its gracious Presence, and it leans down in answer, to raise it up again. Now is the question different. It is no longer, “Can peace be possible in this world?” but instead, “Is it not impossible that peace be absent here?”

Journal
Is peace possible in the world? It depends on what we choose to see as the world. The world that we see with the body’s eyes is a world of war and cannot be anything else. But in T 5:V, Jesus says: “You keep an ancient memory before your eyes. And he who lives in memories alone is unaware of where he is.” What we see with our eyes is just an ancient memory and it is a memory of hell. We are no longer there, we are in Heaven now, but we don’t know we are because we keep the memory of hell alive in our mind.

We can stop believing what our eyes show us and instead ask the Holy Spirit to show us what is really there. Jesus said that God redeemed the world and that it is now peaceful. It has been turned from hell into Heaven by the presence of a Thought of God. Are we not Thoughts of God? Just by being what we are, we transform the world. And yet, we choose to deny our true Self and to dwell in hell a little longer. This can and will change, why not now?

The only thing that keeps this world before our eyes is our desire for it to exist. There must be something of this world that we value or we would have already turned from it as others have done. Let those ideas rise up in your mind so that you and the Holy Spirit can look at them together and see that they have no value after all. As you let them go, the real world, the world that is actually here now, will be revealed.
