Whenever you are tempted to undertake a useless journey that would lead away from light, remember what you really want, and say:
The Holy Spirit leads me unto Christ, and where else would I go? What need have I but to awake in Him?
Then follow Him in joy, with faith that He will lead you safely through all dangers to your peace of mind this world may set before you. Kneel not before the altars to sacrifice, and seek not what you will surely lose. Content yourself with what you will as surely keep, and be not restless, for you undertake a quiet journey to the peace of God, where He would have you be in quietness. (A Course in Miracles, T-13.VII.14-15.)
Peace is our inheritance because we were created in peace. If we are not experiencing peace then we are simply denying the gift already given us. It’s as though we have taken our greatest treasure, locked it away in a dark room and forgotten where we put it.
This is the effect of believing that we are separate from our Creator. And so we go on countless journeys seeking for peace, having forgotten where it is. This need not be. We have a Thought within our mind that remembers where peace is and holds that memory for us, waiting for us to accept the Thought that would guide us back to our completion.
Today we would remind ourselves frequently to open our minds to the Holy Spirit’s lead and accept His guidance to the peace we have hidden away. Today we would welcome peace and accept the gift we have been given. And we would extend peace to our brother that we may know we have it.
