Robert: If I want the peace of God I must be willing to look past all the forms of the world. I need to recognize that no form in the world has value or meaning. The ego calls this sacrifice because, ultimately, it is the end of the ego. To want the peace of God I must value God’s Love and peace and nothing else. That means giving up believing that there is any reality in the forms of the world.
I am free to hang on to belief in the value of any form. But as I am willing to let the Holy Sprit teach me where real value lies, where real meaning lies, the forms of the world will have less and less appeal and their seemingly temporary benefits will be replaced by the experience of the eternal blessing of Love. Eventually the value of Love will have more appeal than the images I made up to take its place.
Today I choose to hold my mind open to the Holy Spirit’s gentle teaching that will help me recognize where real value and lasting peace lies.
Mary: Today is an opportunity to practice taking many intervals out of my activities, stepping aside to join with the Holy Spirit. Today is a day to practice letting myself be led by my inner Teacher. Today is a day of receiving and extending the Holy Spirit’s gift of peace. This is my practice today.
