Peace Book This is how we shall learn. Go into your mind now. There is Peace there; find it. It is there; you will see it. It is part of you as it is part of me. There is in all of you a place of Peace. I have put it there. It is not hidden, but it is not clear to you that it is there. Seek it now. Here is the way. Listen quietly for my voice; it is in you even now. It has always been in you. Hear it now. The voice is a voice of calm; it is a voice of timelessness; it is a voice of everlasting good. It is your right; I made it for you. Listen for the voice. When you hear it, send it on to others. As you hear, so others will hear. Close your eyes and listen now. It is given to you to save mankind. He is your brother. He is your responsibility. He is you. Peace is among you; it is within you. It is your gift. Open it now. I have given you my name. I have given you my son. You are my son. All that follows is Peace. It is the time of Peace. Find it and share it. All the earth rejoices with you at your discovery. I have given you forests, animals, fish, birds, sun, and mountains. Enjoy them, for I have made them for you. I have made them with you. They are what we have created together. See the good and the beauty in what we have created. See it with your heart. What do you ask of me? Ask it of yourself, for the answer is in you. Do you ask for things which last but a minute? Do you ask for only selfish things? Ask for things which are of real value. Ask for Peace. Ask for truth. Ask for calmness. Ask for knowledge. Do not ask for judgement, for judgement is the root of the problem. You have judged others and you have judged yourself, by the standards you have used to judge them. It is a false judgement. With your judgement you have seen evil. You have seen darkness. You have made them, not just seen them. Is this so hard to see? Look at all war; it is a result of judgement that someone else is wrong. That someone else did something you judged to be bad. Do you not think the other party in the war saw the same thing? Do you not know that those on each side judged they were right in what they were doing? Your judgement has created the wars. It has created the darkness. See the beauty in yourself and in your brothers (male and female). See their side of the story. You have the tools to do it. Understand them and explain your views to them. There can be no war if you each understand the views of the other. So it is with each person. Look to see their side. Look to see the God and the effort in each person. Look to see that in others which is the same as you. Do not look to see what is different. What is the same is great and beautiful. What is different is infinitesimal. I will show you. Look at someone in your mind. How do you see them? Fat? Small? Bad teeth? Awkward? Do you ever see them as Human Beings? Do you see them as the same as you? When you see an ant, what do you see? Do you see big ones? Do you see small ones? Do you see some are more orange than others? Do you see some have longer antennae? No. You see ants. When you look at people, your brothers, what do you see? How foolish it is to see more commonness in ants than in your brothers. Try today, this day, to see one person as your brother. Male and female do not matter; see one person, one human being, as your brother. As the same as you. As similar as two ants. Look for the similar things: two legs, hair on top, arms, eyes, nose. All of this is the same, but it matters not. Look now for the spirit. It is truly the same as yours. For you are the same. Each day try to find one more human being who is the same as you. Soon you will see all of us are the same. On this day, we will all be the same and salvation will be here. You will have brought it with you. Bless you. How will you look back at the end of your life? Be sure that I am not your judge; you are. Will you say: “I am happy. I made a lot of money.”? Will you say; “I am happy. I became king over them.”? Will you be happy and say, “I am their master.”? No. You will not be happy if you say these things at the end. Happiness is within you. It is when you are one with your brothers. It is when there is Peace. Do you think there is lasting happiness for the victor in a war? Only fools go to war, and there is no happy victor. There is only sorrow and pain. Does even a warrior find happiness in those he killed, at the end? No. What happiness he finds comes from his friendships and his Peace in himself. Find your own happiness and your own Peace. It is within you. Do not let others lead you into the paths of their darkness. Your own light is the most powerful force for good that exists. Use it. Use your power for good. Use it for you. Use it for your brothers. Try today to bring one minute of Peace to yourself. Try also to bring one minute of Peace to another. The minutes will grow day by day. Peace will be your gift. It awaits you. How will you make a difference in the world? Can you force all people to see your God? Can you stop all the waste and the pollution? Can you stop all the fear in the hearts of the poor? Can you give Peace to all mankind? NO. You can do none of these things. But, you can bring Peace to all by finding the Peace in yourself. You are all connected in me. You can help others by finding the Peace in you. You can begin the process of ending fear and war forever. You can do it by finding the Peace within. Do you imagine a country can go to war if all of the individual people in the country want Peace? It cannot be so. YOU ARE BUT ONE VOICE, BUT TOGETHER, ALL OF MY SONS CANNOT BE DEFEATED. I do not send you forth to war or to battle. I send you into yourselves to find the senselessness of conflict. I send you into yourselves to find the Peace which is your right. I send you into yourselves to share the Peace with all your brothers. For as you find it, surely they will find it. And when all find it, there will be no need for war or poverty or pollution or crime or fear. You need these things to separate yourselves from me and from your brothers. They were made by you. They are legend. They are many. Do not let this deter you. They will all fail when they are exposed to the light within you. Shine your light on the problems in your mind. They will wilt. I will help you do it. Together we are invincible. I await your call. Lie down now. Lie down and rest. Let the thoughts of the world fade from your mind. Listen with a calm mind. Ask one question, only one, and then listen for the answer. We begin the Journey again. Where will we go now? How will we know the path? It lies before us. Why is it that we cannot see it? It is marked as clearly as anything in your world. Yet you fail to see it! Let me show you the path. The path begins with your beginning and ends when you decide to return to your home. Death, as you know it, is not the end of the path; it is but a step on the path. Some of you return home with your death; many do not. For these who do not, the Journey continues. There is no Hell. There is only more of the Journey. Some of you make the journey into Hell, but that is only of your own doing. In your youth, at the start of the path, you retain some of the knowledge of the truth. You retain some knowledge, but your world soon conspires to erase what you know and replaces it with fear. You are told what is right, what is wrong, what is good, and what is bad. You are trained. Through your remaining years you work to cast off this training and seek the truth. Often this search is postponed until late in life. At this point, many of you turn inward and ask, What was all this about? Seldom are answers found. You continue your Journey. But where will you go? Will you walk in circles? For that is surely what you do. Listen, be calm, and still. Listen and you will hear my truth. Turn inward and seek Peace and calm. We are one, you and I. We have come far together, yet your path will take you farther, if you will let it. You can choose the path into fear and hate or you can choose the path to me. Peace is my promise to you. It is here where I have kept it for you. Come with me. I will show it to you. Peace is a golden sunset. Peace is the safety a baby learns in its mother’s arms. Peace is a faraway place you yearn to go to. Will you go there now? Close your eyes, relax, let the world of today fade away. Think of Peace. Peace for you and for all people. Is it not a glorious thought? Can you hold onto this thought? If you can, you are on your way home. Not only do you come to me with your thoughts of Peace, you bring all of mankind one step closer to Salvation. Mankind is helped by your meager thoughts. Such is the wonder of the Kingdom. Bless you. The wind blows. Will you blow with it? Will you follow the wind or will you chart our own course? If you will be the master of your destiny, then where will you go? How will you go there, for surely the going is as important as the getting there. No one here, save one, has ended the journey. All are in the process of going toward the end. Think of the journey and the process. Think of how you will move through the journey. Do not be blown by the wind of this place. Choose your path as clearly as possible. Each action is a choice. Make the choices take you somewhere. Do not make the choices of the world; make those choices which will bring you lasting Peace and Joy. Not the Peace and Joy of the moment, but the Peace and Joy of tomorrow and tomorrow’s tomorrow and forever. The Process is that by which we learn. It is the way we prepare for the Change to take place. I have told you of the Goal. I have led you into the knowledge that you have a choice to make and you are the one who must choose. I have shown you the way. The way is within you. It is within all of us. It is you who must set out on the path and find your own way. Here you must learn to look within. You must learn to hear the voice for Peace in you. You must learn that you are the student and the teacher, all at once. You are the teacher because you are part of me and I know what is to be learned. I have placed it within you. It is a gentle message; it is not one of fear. It is a message of Peace and Joy. You must find the message within. It is there. Look for it. As you learn to listen more and more to the voice for truth in yourself, you will learn the lessons of Peace and Joy that are there. Thus, you are the teacher and the pupil. Place a time aside each day. Spend this time listening to the voice for truth in you. Try to take time in a quite place to listen. But, wherever you can listen, make sure you do it. Listen every day. Do not miss a day. Do not let the message slip from your grasp. The message of Salvation is within your grasp. Hold it tight. Spend a few minutes EVERY day to know the voice of peace and joy. Listen, and the Peace I have placed in you will spread over you. You will know from this that you are on the path. Listen and feel. As you come to know the feeling of peace and to hear the voice, then ask of me what you will. I will be there to answer. Do not ask for gold, for it is meaningless. Ask only for things of value. Ask for knowledge. Ask for the knowledge of the Truth. Ask for Peace. Ask to see the Self you and I made so long ago. Learn to ask and learn to listen. Then will I give you what you seek. I will give you the knowledge of the everlasting you. You will make my joy complete as I will give you the knowledge of your completeness. What joy we will have together. I will hear you in your moments of learning. These will be happy moments for me; they signal your coming. Take a small step this day. Come spend some time with me this very day. You will be rewarded a thousand times more than you can imagine. The time you give to me will be given to you again. Do not give time to me in large groups. Give it in small groups or alone. Give it in silence. Give it in Peace, and Peace will be returned to you. We have much to do. You are growing stronger now, but you have much to do yet. The real change is still to come. Go about your life in joy and happiness. Seek to find joy in everything and in everyone. Happiness is yours, now that you have the knowledge of the path home. Where will we go next? We will go further into you. We will go into your deepest self. We will go to the place where you started. You will find this place now. Listen. Listen for the voice of your beginning. It is faint, but it is there. Wait patiently; it will come to you. You will not see it with your eyes. You will not hear it with your ears. You will not feel it with your fingers, but it will be there for you to know. See the beginning. Know that we are One. Know that you have begun the Journey to your home. Many travel with you, but you cannot wait for them or follow them. You will help all with your own progress, but it must be your progress which brings you home. No other can do it for you. Not even I can do it for you. But once you begin, you will have my help, and you will feel the certainty of your task. The Truth shines before you. Do you see it? Close your eyes; it waits for you. I wait for you. |
