The stillness of the peace of God is mine…
For the longest time, I just wanted to get to that place… the place my mind imagined ‘the stillness of the peace of God’ to be.
Yet, try as I might, it seemed to continue to elude me…
Then periodically it would sneak up on me seemingly of its own volition, and I would notice that I was feeling a deep abiding peace. And that it had been with me for some time.
When and how did it get there?
Beneath the shrill blare of my insane thinking, planning, regretting, etc. was a still and peaceful mind observing...
That stillness; that peace of God seem to find me…
Here’s what finally awakened in me… You can’t get what you already have… The stillness of the peace of God is mine…
Sit with that…
Always, just beneath the surface, stillness rests undisturbed by the mind-body dance. No matter what seems to be going on, no matter the form or order of thought, the judgment of value within the drama of my so-called life, just beyond, just beneath, I rest undisturbed and complete in the stillness that is God forever one with me.
In the dream, I had just developed the bad habit of believing that illusions were reality and therefore focused my attention on myself as a character of the dream.
Once this is questioned from every possible direction; turning every belief-stone, probing and forgiving all that wasn’t love, its solidity crumbles… disillusioning the falseness of the body-mind reality.
It is merely a matter of developing a new habit; the habit of engaging with God~ being present to the relationship with the Source.
This is simply pulling the focus inward and placing attention on what was always, already there…
The touchstone thought for this practice is ‘what do I value and how much do I value it?’…
Love is what I value… The stillness of the peace of God is what I value… And it is mine…
The undisturbed tranquility the lesson speaks of, it is within, always.
Today, let’s dismiss the old habit of focusing on the impermanent; the false feelings that disturb…
Together, let us focus-up, focus-in, and rest in the stillness of the peace of God… that is our own…
Thank you ~ I love you.
