The Path from Turmoil to Peace of Mind

I could see peace instead of this.

Peace of mind is clearly an internal matter. ³It must begin with your own thoughts, and then extend outward. ⁴It is from your peace of mind that a peaceful perception of the world arises.

⁴It is your inner world to which the applications of today’s idea should be made.

²Search your mind for fear thoughts, anxiety-provoking situations, “offending” personalities or events, or anything else about which you are harboring unloving thoughts.

…whenever you feel your peace of mind is threatened in any way… the exercise should take this form:

⁴I could see peace in this situation instead of what I now see in it. (A Course in Miracles, W-34.1:2-4;2:4;3:2;5:1,3-4. See also ACIM Lesson 34 Insights.)

This is a valuable practice that can accelerate our release from the ego’s bondage. The ego is an attempt to limit the Son of God in order to achieve special status.

God gives all of Himself equally to all His Creation. Special status or differences are inconceivable to God. Peace is automatic in the oneness of His Love. When we remind ourselves in any moment we feel disturbed that we could see peace instead of this, we open our mind to welcome God’s gifts.

God has given us His Voice to guide us on the path that leads us Home to Him. But while our mind is preoccupied with judgments, we are not at peace and cannot hear His Voice. Today we choose peace by reminding ourselves that we can be aware of it in the midst of turmoil.
