Inspiration Flows from the Center of Peace

Mary:
We all have within our minds a place where peace abides. In this place of inner peace we find simple, uncomplicated Love. When the world seems complicated and hectic and frustrating, it is time to return to this inner place of peace for mind healing.

I find that this is done by simply relaxing and letting every thought that does not come from peace to simply pass by. I don’t need to grab hold of these thoughts and carry them with me. I can let them go. I remember that I only want the peace of God and that what I want in my heart of hearts I receive.

This practice of letting everything go to be replaced by peace is very important to my awakening to the truth. The truth lies beyond all illusions. And I have to let the illusions go, because I can’t have both illusions and truth at the same time. Today I have another opportunity to allow the Holy Spirit to bring me to the sacred place of peace within. This is my practice for today. Here I am inspired in how to be truly helpful.

Robert:
The ego is wholly committed to separation. Its sole purpose for the body and its senses is to bring messages that confirm separation is real. So when something seems to go “wrong” in the world, it is just a pictorial representation of the ego’s commitment to separation. In every moment I have the choice for how I will interpret the appearances in the world. If I align with the ego, the interpretation will affirm the reality of separation. If I align with my true Self, the interpretation will come through looking past the appearances to the truth of changeless Love. Those are the only two options.

Right now there is a strong temptation to buy into the ego’s interpretation because, in working with upgrading the web site, it is now at a point where much of it is unavailable to the public. If I use this situation to stress myself to try to fix it in a hurry, I simply reinforce the sense of being alone, separate and weak. The ego smiles at this, happy that its core belief in separation is affirmed.

But I am grateful that I have a Helper That sees the situation as an opportunity to remind me that I am not a body. I am free. I am still the oneness of Love, as Love created me. I am still centered in peace. From that center of peace inspiration can use the circumstance to heal my mind and, through that healing, bless the world. I am willing to accept this healing today.
