We Live Eternally in God’s Peace

⁵There is nothing else for you to find except the peace of God, unless you seek for misery and pain.

Yet you can ask as easily for love, for happiness, and for eternal life in peace that has no ending. ²Ask for this, and you can only win. ³To ask for what you have already must succeed. ⁴To ask that what is false be true can only fail. ⁵Forgive yourself for vain imaginings, and seek no longer what you cannot find. ⁶For what could be more foolish than to seek and seek and seek again for hell, when you have but to look with open eyes to find that Heaven lies before you, through a door that opens easily to welcome you?

Peace is the bridge that everyone will cross, to leave this world behind. ²But peace begins within the world perceived as different, and leading from this fresh perception to the gate of Heaven and the way beyond. ³Peace is the answer to conflicting goals, to senseless journeys, frantic, vain pursuits, and meaningless endeavors. ⁴Now the way is easy, sloping gently toward the bridge where freedom lies within the peace of God.

⁶For peace is union, if it be of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-200.1:5;3;8;11:6. See also ACIM Lesson 200 Insights.)

The peace of God is our inheritance as His one Son. There can be no conflict or differences in what is one throughout.

Our perception of ourselves as separate individuals is an illusion made by the wish for specialness. This wish needs to be forgiven for us to awaken to the truth of our Identity in God’s peace. We can be grateful that our mistaken wishes have not changed the reality that we live eternally in the peace of God.
