The Silent Treatment

3/30/2014

0 Comments

 
Feel your power in patience. Enjoy the stillness in your soul. You need not always offer comment upon another's words or actions. Often the silent treatment is best. It allows the others words to hang unadorned in the air. There they remain bare, exposed for what they are. You can hear them and leave them alone. The other has said them and can own them or choose to atone.

New Found Peace

2/5/2014

0 Comments

 
Sign of peace, there shall be no real peace until each finds Peace within, within their heart and mind. And then their hearts and minds become at peace with each others. Then “new found Peace” is thrust into the outer manifesting peace with every breath. This is the breath of Life, the breath of Peace which God breathes into each, to be found, to be sought, to be claimed, to be proclaimed. Give each a sign of peace, a smile, a hug, a handshake. Peace be with you and with you.

Look Within

I am a drop of water in the ocean of life. A part of the whole, there is no separation. We are all One.

It’s easier to imagine Oneness with the analogy of being a drop of water in the ocean of life for you have touched and thus understood the physical form of the ocean. The body of Spirit, Spirit as One and you as an inseparable part of this, is a notion that escapes your mind. That is alright for your heart has this understanding. When you follow your heart and not your mind, you will always find your way home.

Give no mind to what you do not want for yourself or any other. Separate yourself. Raise your consciousness above the matters of matter. Here you will find peace for you, which is a peace so strong and lovely that it has the power to give peace to the all. When you recognize the ego you are giving credence to the idea of your separateness. When you deny the ego you are able to recognize the wholeness of life in Spirit and feel a part of such.

We know the power matter holds. It is full of energy, a force very strong. It bombards your senses. It says look here see what is wrong. And then it says look over here gain this, buy this and feel better, feel good. But no one tells you the good feeling is just for a moment for your eyes are so weak they can not stay centered on good, even if it is true good for only but a moment.

This is why we tell you to shut your physical eyes to the world and look within for strength and beauty. Here you will find peace and tranquility. Here lies God, your God connection to all. The more you can stay centered in this knowing, the more you will be God showing to all in the outer, for when the inner and the outer are the same you are whole and reside in Heaven.

Where is the safe haven I so desire?

10/11/2013

I want to run. I’m mad. I’m scared, but where to go? Where is the safe haven I so desire? “Shh, over here,” says my soul. “Shh, be quiet. Come inside. Shh, listen. Listen, hear. You are safe here now. This is the sanctuary of your soul. Where you heart lies peacefully in Love. Rest here for awhile, rest in Peace. It’s time to go higher than ever before. You have been with Me, at Peace, in remembrance of “Our Love” I ask you to be.”

I close my eyes and lose my place in this world, my place of confusion, my place of disagreement and enter into the Peace of my heart. “Thank you for coming,” says my soul. “It’s nice to have you present. Please feel free to show up more often.”

You don’t have to stoop so low. You don’t have to come to their level. Make them rise up to meet you. Raise the stakes of the games. Play by your own rules. You’ll be happier and so shall they. This is how the game is to be played. The first one to the top wins, but no one else has lost unless they choose to stay down. Look up, see where you are going. Be the cream. Rise to the top.

Take care of My people. Be My Love for them. Show them The Way, the Way I showed the world. Show again. Show the Way that is still there to here, to the Heart of God, to God’s Love and Wisdom. Be The Peace today. Stay with Me and live this Way.

Know this Peace and You Know Me

I want to share my story.

Your story needs shared. You can do this. You will do this. We are here, always here for you, to help you as you allow. Allow us to help you help others by sharing “Our Story.”

Don’t let it bother you, the mass and mess of confusion which you see displayed all around you. You can stand within the midst and be not affected. Stand with Me, stand within the sanctity of the One Mind of Peace. It is here. Jesus stood in mind, heart and soul as his physical form within a raging storm. But He called forth this Peace, this supreme inner Peace into the outer and all was well. Don’t allow the fears of others to be your guideposts. They know not.

You can know this Perfection and Peace within your heart as Jesus knew, Jesus as the Christ. Jesus Christ was the Presence of Peace. Just being in His midst brought comfort to others.


Were the others whom were around Jesus as well this same Peace? Did they as well know this Peace as did He?

No, they did not. Being the Peace that Jesus was did not depend on any outer, nor any other, manifesting this level of Peace. Their lack of Peace did not diminish His.

If you wait for peace in the outer before you know Peace in the inner, you will be waiting a long time baby. Most do not even understand that such Inner Peace is available, and is attainable in the present moment. They are so wrapped up, so all consumed, by the outer. But this Peace we bring to you, which is offered unto you, is the very Peace of God, the Kingdom of God, Heaven, Eden, the Holy Grail, the place within your heart in which you eternally know All is Well. This is the Eternal Peace of which all seek. Know this Peace and you know Me, God says.

Stay with Me

Do not fear. In this moment, We ask you not to fear.

What would you be fearing anyway, something that hasn’t happened? The unknown? You say you fear the known, for you feel you know what the future holds. And the picture you hold in your mind is grim and the longer you hold it in your mind the sharper the details become. Well, if you continue on this path you will surely reap the grim outcome you are predicting, or pre-dictating, or calling into existence. So stop right there, turn that switch off and turn on a different power for your life.

Look for God, your good, the goodness of your heart. Reach into the peace of your heart and pull goodness out and grab a hold of it. Do this with all your heart and mind. Hug the goodness. Pet and pat the goodness. Admire and love the goodness. Think of God and all God’s goodness. Think of a sweet new baby, a blushing bride, baby birds in a nest, a light spring shower. Think of how happy you are to be alive. Stay with Me now. Hold hope. Hold hope high like a banner. Fly your banner of hope into the sky. Make your hope into a kite and let it fly high. Let it come to Me. Let peace rain and reign in your heart. Dance with this peace. Sing the song of peace. Hum along with Me.
