The peace in which we dwell is invariable. This invariable peace is within us. This just is. Nothing can change this. Only our denial of the peace in which we dwell can block it from our awareness. Peace is still within us. We have chosen to believe that the battles within our minds are real instead. The power of our belief in unreality blocks our awareness of the peace within us in which we dwell. Because we believe there is an opponent threatening us, we engage in a battle in our minds and even seek escape from those battles to preserve our peace of mind. We have denied the fact that our peace of mind is real and thus indestructible. There is nothing that can harm the peace within us. And this is what we forget or deny.
The One would not have us embattled, so our perceived enemies are totally unreal. We are trying to escape a war that doesn’t exist. It is gone. We have heard the song of freedom rising to Heaven through the Spirit’s Voice, bringing our release from that which is not real. We open our eyes and see with the eyes of Spirit. What we believe we value, and as long as we value what is not real, that unreality will be what we see.
When we are all united in Heaven, you will value nothing that you value here. For nothing that you value here do you value wholly, and so you do not value it at all. Value is where the One placed it, and the value of what the One esteems cannot be judged, for it has been established. It is wholly of value. It can merely be appreciated or not. To value it partially is not to know its value. In Heaven is everything the One values, and nothing else. Heaven is perfectly unambiguous. Everything is clear and bright, and calls forth one response. There is no darkness and there is no contrast. There is no variation. There is no interruption. There is a sense of peace so deep that no dream in this world has ever brought even a dim imagining of what it is. T-13.XI.3.1-13
We can rest in this assurance. We are one with the One. We are inseparable from that essence that we are and have always been, rooted in peace. This essence is indestructible. And though it may appear to be otherwise in this world while we still abide here in our minds, it is not real. Our minds may be darkened by doubt and guilt, but we are given the Holy Spirit whose mission it is to remove all doubt and every trace of guilt that we have laid upon ourselves. Whatever our reaction to Spirit’s voice may be, to whatever voice we may choose to listen, or whatever strange thoughts may occur to us, we will find the peace of Heaven in which we dwell. This is as invariable as the peace in which we dwell and of which Spirit reminds us.
Then what are we doing now?
You will not remember change and shift in Heaven. You have need of contrast only here. Contrast and differences are necessary teaching aids, for by them you learn what to avoid and what to seek. When you have learned this, you will find the answer that makes the need for any differences disappear. Truth comes of its own will unto its own. When you have learned that you belong to truth, it will flow lightly over you without a difference of any kind. For you will need no contrast to help you realize that this is what you want, and only this. Fear not the Holy Spirit will fail in what you Creator has given It to do. The Will of the One can fail in nothing. T-13.XI.6.1-9
Welcome all that comes your way on your journey. Each experience and each encounter are the contrasts we need on our journey to the remembrance of the peace in which we dwell. Only by releasing our attachment to the guilt and doubt we value so, will we allow Spirit to guide us to the freedom from that doubt and guilt to the awareness of the peace in which we always have and always will dwell. Be the peace you are right now.
