The stillness of the peace of God is mine.
I am happy to know about the immediacy of salvation. There is nothing to worry about. There is nothing to fear. If you look carefully you will recognize that what is happening now has been played out before in repetition, throughout history, over and over and over, and is now playing itself out again once more.
So why be concerned??
We know the outcome.
My friend Evan sent a great email to me this morning:
According to Edward Gibbon, author of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, here are the five reasons that Rome fell. Any of them sound familiar?
Five reasons for the fall of the great dynasty.
Yes, this all sound familiar. We are repeating history. If it seems like history keeps going around in circles it is because YOU keep going around in circles in your own personal life.
Knowing this, you can make a decision to stop participating in the insanity. You can make a decision to STOP what you are doing, get off the rat wheel, and see something brand new.
These are exciting times indeed!!
A game is being played out. It’s gonna get ugly. It’s already a huge mess. It was a lose-lose situation from the start. If the $700 billion bail-out plan was passed in the House, it would have been a disaster. And now that $700 billion has been rejected, it’s gonna be a disaster. Now matter which route was taken, it was doomed to fail. Why? Because this already happened. The whole charade already fell apart.
And this is how it happened.
Now you can rest and relax. The world is like a 3-D movie being played out on a big screen. You’re an observer, and if you don’t participate in the illusion, it plays out faster.
But because it’s happening all around you, you think it’s real. But it’s not real. It’s just a movie. Let everything be exactly as it is, and let yourself enjoy the show.
Perhaps we are now ready for a day of undisturbed tranquility. If this is not yet feasible, we are content and even more than satisfied to learn how such a day can be achieved. If we give way to a disturbance, let us learn how to dismiss it and return to peace. We need but tell our minds, with certainty, “The stillness of the peace of God is mine,” and nothing can intrude upon the peace that God Himself has given to His Son.
Father, Your peace is mine.
What need have I to fear that anything can rob me of what You would have me keep? I cannot lose Your gifts to me. And so the peace You gave Your Son is with me still, in quietness and in my own eternal love for You.
I woke up this morning thinking of Lesson 129. Beyond this world there is a world I want. The lesson states that our emphasis is not on giving up the world but on exchanging it. I really feel that if enough minds come together and pray, visualize and intent the “Real World” into being we can cause the exchange that ACIM is speaking about. To me the Real World is a place where there is health, happiness, and peace for all. It’s a place where everyone you see is a dear friend. It’s a place where everyone does what they love every day. A place where everyone is fulfilled. It’s a place where there is no lack. It’s a place where money has been transformed and is now clean and new and no longer a source of pain for anyone. After I read your wonderful post today I think the time is now for minds to join and create this change. The power is within us as we are all aspects of God. I don’t know if you read Greg Braden but he states that the most important part of prayer is to feel in your h eart the change that you desire as already accomplished. And in David Hawkins book “Power verses Force” he states it only takes 8000 people on the planet to affect a change! So what if we do an experiment, what if we all came together at the same time, no matter where we are for a few minutes and created the Real World in our hearts and minds. I bet we would see a change in the world very quickly. Maybe we can do this at 12 noon EST everyday for the next two weeks and see what happens.
Love to all
I am with you Angel! There is a group praying now for all the same things
you mention, which by the way you stated beautifully!! They pray @ 9 pm on Mondays. I agree, with all of us coming together, for the same purpose, we are
the saviours of the world!!! Yes, we are all here for one purpose, and coming together
NOW at this moment is POWERFUL! Lisa has put it perfectly in this lesson, for all
of us doing ACIM to KNOW exactly what is needed to do what we shall:-)
Lisa, Thank you for your sharing in your special way, to help us see the light
that is guiding us to our Source, our Love, our Creator! You are awesome! I feel
all the warmth coming from your words, that are from the heart, the heart of Love.
Which is ALL there truly is! God Bless All, who are coming together to create the real world, within us ALL! Love, Debi
That’s beautiful Debi, I really feel this is an exciting time to be alive!
I’m a little late for today’s exercise, but let’s bend time with my intention to join you starting right now. I’m with Angel. I’m with Lisa and the rest of the people in the world who agree. We CAN expedite the inevitable exchange if we join our minds and hearts with the same intent.
Thank you! Let’s observe with curiosity what’s going on around us, knowing that it’s all proceeding according to Plan, and never give in to the illusion of lack and distress.
We’re privileged to be here, on Earth, right now!
