Peace is also one of those things that requires patience and persistence. We make so much progress against old habits and thoughts and false beliefs. Then we take a couple steps back. It's then we need to remember that the lessons, the journey and the process are just as important as the goal.

When I enter in to a struggle with someone, I inevitably loose contact with my sense of inner peace for a time. When I steadfastly refuse to engage, I am able to maintain a balanced peace.

As excruciatingly difficult as it is to face the beast sometimes; the feeling of freedom and peace afterwards is well worth pursuing the release. The beast is sometimes old brainwashing. The resulting feelings, while real, may not be current. Sometime it's just the shadows of memories that need to be updated. We have the power to change our memories.

We overcome a particular consciousness. As we overcome this consciousness, we become the open door for light to stream through to help others trapped in this consciousness. We have the right to call for the source of this consciousness to be removed from this planet.

(Quoted from Master Keys to Spiritual Freedom by Kim Michaels)
"I have said that a Christed being goes into the world to give people a real choice between the reality of Christ and the illusions of anti-Christ. Yet you cannot make people understand the difference through intellectual reasoning, so you must demonstrate the difference. One way to do this is to demonstrate that you do not react and respond to life and other people in a dualistic manner. You do not allow outer circumstances or other people to take away your peace of mind, your inner oneness with your higher being...In order for you to be in a state of mind in which you are not tempted to respond dualistically, you must enter into a state of perpetual and unconditional forgiveness."

We each have the power to choose. Free will enables us to have that power. We each need to determine to choose to change how we act, how we respond, how we think, how we feel. We need to remember we are loved.

How do peace and healing relate? Is peace a component or the actual journey? Does one need to consciously move into greater depths of peace in order to heal? Is it interactive, meaning that levels of healing allow one to move deeper into peace?

Mother Mary says when you are ready to surrender something, you'll drop it like a hot coal. After looking for the cause of a specific feeling, I received the thought: Why don't you surrender that core feeling/belief? Oh my! The immediate flood of freedom and love was extraordinary.

I stepped into fear yesterday. At least, I called on support from my family and friends. With their help the fear receded enough for me to see that events were being perhaps divinely orchestrated for the good. If I can see a pattern of the divine, then there must be little reason for the fear. And so I move from fear back into trust and feel a warm calm again.
I forgot to be firmly devoted to peace. I forgot to attune myself to Jesus Christ and to Gautama Buddha. How could a person just forget? My word, how silly. Started focusing on the problems in the world and just forgot. What a subtle invasion.

Beloved I AM Presence, Please give me the wherewithal to trust you implicitly, thru intense personal emotions, thru family emergencies, thru difficulties at work, thru all of it at once. I love you.
