Opening the Door to Peace

Robert: 
Peace cannot be found in the world. Peace can be experienced in the world, but it comes from within, not from a world outside. To find the peace that is inherent in What I am, I need to lift the veil of beliefs and self-concepts that hide it from my awareness. This is what forgiveness does.

I cannot let go of false beliefs without help from outside of the belief system I hold dear. I am grateful for the Voice for God in my mind That is there ready to teach me what is true and what is not. It is there to help me release what interferes with my experience of the Self that Love created.

Today I dedicate to practicing holding my heart and mind open to the Holy Spirit’s kind and patient teaching that leads me to the remembrance of the Love I am that joins me with all my brothers.

Mary:
When I open to the changeless Love of the one eternal Spirit of Love, I feel safe and patient. I know that everything is alright and that all is well. I feel at peace. When I forget this, I get caught up in the stories of suffering and loss, of guilt and death.

I can see the difference in how I feel with each state of mind. This motivates me to accelerate my willingness to consistently choose the peace that opens the door to the awareness of Love’s presence. As I let this habit become stronger, I am able to apply it to more and more situations. I am able to generalize accepting the truth of oneness instead of separation in more situations.

This is my practice today and every day. Do I want to continue with the ego’s false stories and feel the pain and stress that goes with it? Or do I want to accept the awareness of my true Self and the peace and understanding that goes with this? My true Self is always there ready to bring me the awareness of Love’s presence as I am willing. My practice today is to relax and follow Holy Spirit’s lead.
