There is no peace except the peace of God.
It cannot be stressed enough times – there is nothing in this world worth cherishing for even one minute. There is no peace except the peace of God.
The only peace you will ever find is by shifting your thoughts away from your problems to thinking about the light, your grace, your holiness, the peace of God.
It’s the only way.
While you are thinking about your body and how to heal it, you are trapped in a nightmare.
Bastiaan said a great thing yesterday – “A miracle is a miracle because it’s a shift in perception.”
Ha. That’s it! Thank you for the reminder. It doesn’t take time. You keep shifting your perception AWAY FROM the body, and you focus your thoughts on God. That’s it. A miracle is a miracle because it’s shift in perception. It doesn’t take time.
This world is not where you belong. You are a stranger here. But it is given you to find the means whereby the world no longer seems to be a prison house or a jail for anyone.
What does forgiveness do? In truth it has no function, and does nothing. For it is unknown in Heaven. It is only hell where it is needed, and where it must serve a mighty function.
Every day my function is to keep my mind aligned with truth. Which means I have to continually shift my thoughts. It doesn’t take effort or time, and it’s really easy, but I am aware that I do it. The #1 thing I do in the course of every day is watch my thoughts … and if a thought is not bringing me peace, I choose again. I change my mind. I align my mind to think with God.
Yesterday I was listening to someone teach a class, and I started thinking about a person who has been causing drama in my life. I was having a conversation in my mind with this person (things I wanted to say to this person, perhaps in an hour) and within a few minutes I caught myself. I sat up in my chair and thought “What the hell am I doing??”
I said in my mind “No! Out!” and the thought and darkness disappeared, and I was happy again.
I recognized this thought as dark energy, which is dragging me down. Carlos Castaneda calls it “foreign energy.” He says there are forces all around us which are constantly trying to steal our energy and power. You have to be vigilant to not let the energy accumulate. It will slow you down. You’ll start to feel depressed and tired. There is never another person who is causing drama in my life. It’s just me, making up stories to feel conflict and drama. That’s all.
When you begin thinking of people and events as energy (as opposed to thinking of people as people who are doing things to you) this journey will become a lot easier for you. You’ll start to notice when energy is being sucked out of you. You’ll start to notice when certain situations & people drain you.
You’ll also start to notice what invigorates you and energizes you.
As you start being quiet and listening, you’ll be told specifically what you need to do. You have a Teacher and a Guide within you Who will tell you exactly what to, where to go and what to say.
All that is required is a willingness to listen.
“Let us not lose our way again. We go to Heaven, and the path is straight. Only if we attempt to wander can there be delay, and needless wasted time on thorny byways.”
I love that. All my thoughts about my problems are nothing more than an attempt to wander and this is “needless wasted time.”
In that same exact space (where I am thinking about my problems), I could be communicating with the Holy Spirit. I could be flying. I could be in Heaven. I could be experiencing the peace of God.
Now is there silence. Seek no further. Look up and on toward Heaven, with the body’s eyes but serving for an instant longer now. Peace is already recognized at last, and you can feel its soft embrace surround your heart and mind with comfort and with love.
Peace be to us today. We have found a simple, happy way to leave the world of ambiguity, and to replace our shifting goals and solitary dreams with single purpose and companionship.
There is no peace except the peace of God.
And I am glad and thankful it is so.
We feel you thru your words . All blessings to you
