From Restlessness to Peace

Robert:
The body’s eyes can only show us images. Images have no meaning of their own and they have no substance. With every image the body’s eyes present, we have a choice. We can interpret the image based on the past or we can let our true Self interpret it with Christ’s vision. Since the past is always a repeat of the thought of separation, it will interpret every image as a demonstration of separation in some way. But since Christ’s vision sees only oneness, it will look past the form of the image to see the Love or call for Love that are the only meaningful options. Both Love and the call for Love inspire one response — the extension of Love.

My prayer today: I open my mind and heart to Christ’s vision. I would see past all images and join in Love in each moment. I would see my brother as my Self reflected. Hold my hand today, dear brother, that I may remember we are one in Love and thus remember our one Self.

Mary:
This morning I noticed that I felt restless and I remember telling Robert about this restless feeling I had. I mentally laid this sense of restlessness on God’s altar. With this, I mentally said, “I choose once again, and this time I choose peace instead of what I chose before.”

An image that I thought of as myself, walked down a corridor of peace that appeared before me… As I continued to move forward in this corridor of peace, the restlessness that I felt before started falling off like barnacles off a ship… As I continued on, I realized that to go further, I needed to let go of the image that I saw as myself… It needed to fall away… I asked for help… And the peace corridor responded by moving into the space I left open…

My mind feels quiet now… The stillness and completeness is evident… I rest in the gentleness and fullness of peace… I feel gratitude for the gift of peace… I realize that it is not a small gift… I realize that peace is mine to choose eternally…

Today it is my opportunity to choose the gift of peace… I hand the dream story to peace… Peace is what I want… I accept peace today.
