Many think that true peace is impossible to find,
\ngiven the state of human beings today.<\/p>\n
And yet the source of peace is right at hand.
\nIt lies in the absence of fear, and the replacement
\nof fear by LOVE.<\/p>\n
This love already dwells within you.
\nIt is part of the great Ocean that you are part of.
\nTherefore, the one that seeks peace
\nhas a place to go to find it, and a way to eliminate
\nfear from the heart.<\/p>\n
What is it that human beings fear?
\nThe list is long:
\nrejection, disapproval, loneliness, helplessness,
\nphysical assault, emotional assault,
\nloss, emptiness, meanginglessness.<\/p>\n
It is a long list, based on separation from one’s true self.<\/p>\n
Peace can only come as this separation ends –
\nas the sense of safety that is founded in love
\nenfolds every aspect of the heart so that the
\nentire being feels safe.<\/p>\n
Before then, it is hard to find peace.<\/p>\n
The door is open for this joining with love now,
\nknowing that love’s joining takes one into the arms
\nof the Divine, the arms that are forever present
\nif one seeks them.<\/p>\n
How can we put aside fear and embrace peace?
\nBy finding the Divine source of love within
\nand allowing it to grow.<\/p>\n
The place of fear rejects this answer.
\nIt anticipates its own powerlessness and believes
\nthat counter-force is the only means of protection.<\/p>\n
Counter-force is not protection.
\nIt is a temporary sollution to the problem of helplessness.<\/p>\n
All who seek true peace must find a new basis for safety.
\nThe old ways clearly do not work,
\nand yet they are clung to.<\/p>\n
As individuals and as a people, defenses are what
\nwe have grown up with and what we know.<\/p>\n
To find peace, we must begin with the source
\nof safety within us – the everpresent love which
\nenfolds all things.<\/p>\n
This love IS PEACE.<\/p>\n
Love allows us to see others not as enemies
\nbut as souls,
\ncreated with the same essence,
\nstriving for the same things.<\/p>\n
Love is the single most powerful force that can
\novercome the darkness that occupies men’s minds.<\/p>\n
This darkness cannot be overcome by might.
\nMight only makes it go underground, not disappear,
\nwhereas love and light dissolve the darkness.<\/p>\n
Do you wish for peace?
\nThen become a force for love on the Earth –
\npart of the great Ocean of love.
\nBe willing to find a new solution to your fear.<\/p>\n
Release the view of others as ‘enemies’ and find
\na new way of conceiving of the darkness that can
\ninhabit the human heart.<\/p>\n
Join your life with the Divine within you.
\nLet this be your new foundation.
\nLet this sacred relationship BE the foundation
\nfor peace.<\/p>\n
In love’s presence all fear dissolves,
\nthe Divine is joined with the human,
\nand the heart is set free to create peace.<\/p>\n
May all beings be blessed by your peace.<\/p>\n
You are the Love within you.<\/p>\n
Let this Love create a world of peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
