The Power of Stillness

Mary:  This morning we read A Course in Miracles Workbook lesson 124, “In quiet I receive God’s Word today.” This is a very powerful lesson on the power of opening to stillness and quiet listening. Giving this time to rest in God brings with it a deeper experience of peace. In this place of peace and stillness, the Holy Spirit has a chance to bring me the understanding I need in the present moment.

What seemed hard before now becomes simple. What seemed complex and unsolvable before now just falls away. The ego’s mountain of constant “problems” becomes a molehill that doesn’t matter. What is truly important comes to the surface to take its place. The feeling of peace, calm and that all is well pervades my mind. It is from this place of accepting peace and extending peace that I start my day.

I know that I will need to return to this place many times today to keep from getting off track and losing my way again. As I am willing to give it the time, peace, and the clarity that comes with it, returns and I remember that all is well in truth.

Robert: When I rest in God’s peace, it is easy for me to see the loving Son of God in my brothers. I feel safe. I feel the Love of God extending through me, joining with my brothers. Old patterns of judgment fade into the background. Everyone is my friend.

Right now, this is not an all day experience for me. Old triggers bring judgments out of the background to dominate my thoughts once again. But I am grateful for having had these moments of respite that have taught me I do not have to stay in judgment, with all the conflict it brings. I can return to rest in God, rest in peace. Today I am grateful for another opportunity to practice staying close to the center of peace in me, the altar of God.
