Peace of mind is clearly an internal matter. It must begin with your own thoughts, and then extend outward. It is from your peace of mind that a peaceful perception of the world arises. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.34.1:2-4)
By being mindful of our level of peace, we establish a “peace meter” which lets us know whether we are following the ego or the Holy Spirit as our Guide. The ego is the denial of peace, being the denial of Love. Any lack of peace is a sure sign that we need to choose another Guide. When we feel at peace, we are following Love’s lead, which is always peaceful because the strength of Love is invulnerable.
When our peace meter indicates we are following the ego’s lead, we always have a choice. We can stay on the ego’s path or we can pause, step back and open to the peace within. As we let our focus be on peace and welcome it in our minds, we open to the lead of the Holy Spirit, our true Self. The more we practice this, the more our peace meter will stay on the side of peace instead of conflict.
Today we dedicate to paying attention to our peace meter.
