Finding the Peace We Seek

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.)

Everyone in the world is seeking for peace. Peace surrounds us in Reality. But it is nowhere to be found in the dream of separation.

To find the peace we seek, we step back from the busyness of the world to quiet our minds. A quiet mind is open to the Voice for God. As we are willing to listen, He will bring us a fresh perception that sees beyond images of differences to Love’s Presence lighting up the world. In this light, appearances that seemed to divide fade to reveal our unity with all in Love. In this unity we find the peace we seek.
