All that will happen when you renounce conflict completely is that you will leave separation from God forever.
The dream cannot hold you captive if you refuse to live by its terms.
Peace is the home of those who love God and would extend that Love to their brothers.
Love follows peace as surely as fear follows conflict. When peace fills your heart, there is room for Love only; conflict will not find a home there.
I can never escape the effects of what I do for cause and effect are never separated.
The mind devoted to peace as its goal becomes a beacon of light. It shines upon its brothers, helping them to return to peace.
Always and only it is myself I attack and nothing is gained thereby, for only loss results.
What I do to my brother, I do to myself.
Peace begins with the recognition that my brother is myself, that only one of us is here.
With that understanding, I begin to see that all conflict starts and ends with myself.
Anger is always the desire to attack, and what you fear you will hate.
Hate perpetuates fear and attack, and the cycle continues without end as long as fear and separation rule your mind.
All conflict has its origin in the state of mind where fear prevails and your brother is seen as separate and unrelated to you.
Fear leads easily to hatred and anger.
Peace is more than the absence of strife.
True peace is a condition in which the thought of conflict cannot arise for its cause has been healed.
The din arising from the battlefield that is worldly life has drowned out every call for Truth.
The sounds of conflict will always obscure the still, small voice of Spirit.
Love’s call will reach you if you let it.
This call has gone on unceasingly since time began. Yet you have not heard it because you have not been listening.
When Love rules your mind, you will be helpful and kind at all times and in all circumstances to everyone.
No child of God will ever be forsaken by His Father or by his brothers, for it is Love’s function to join with and include always.
Only through the total transformation of all your relationships, will your life be transformed into the expression of Love.
Love is expressed in many ways, through thought, word, and action. It is the action of Love that heals and helps those in need.
The real purpose of all relationships is to bring you closer to God through the opportunity they provide to love and forgive.
If you use them for this purpose, they become holy and lead you back to the holiness that lives within you as you.
If you were to love your brothers totally, asking nothing in return, all your relationships would be transformed.
Holy relationships contain only Love and follow no laws but God’s.
There is no compromise between Truth and illusion. Where one is, the other is not.
No matter what the cost of Truth, you will gladly pay it when once you realize its inestimable value.
If you could instantly withdraw all investment in the illusions which so fascinate your mind, they would disappear forever, leaving you in a state of Grace.
The withdrawal of allegiance must be total for one illusion contains all illusions. Heaven cannot be reached while one illusion remains to limit your mind, for Heaven is a state of limitlessness and Unity.
Only the blocks to the awareness of God’s Presence within you keep you a prisoner in a world of separation.
Remove them and you would immediately find yourself in Heaven and realize you never left.
What is the best thing you can do anywhere, at anytime? Remember your Father.
If you are constantly remembering your Father’s Love for you, you will discover your great Love for Him, and this Love will clear all obstacles between God and your awareness of Him.
To Love God is to Love His children. It cannot be otherwise.
Unless you love as He does, you will not know God. The quickest way back to your Father is to abandon yourself to Love, for God is Love.
The only way to accept your Father’s Love is to love your brothers as He does.
Your brothers are a part of God; they share His Being as do you.
How do you live surrounded by the chaos of separation, yet be unaffected by it?
Live in a state of true consciousness with Love as your guiding Light, and all darkness will be shined away until you see the Truth reflected everywhere.
If you turn over decision making to the Holy Spirit, He will guide you out of chaos. You need not live in that condition though your feet still walk the earth.
Through the recognition of Truth and the undoing of false mind, you may transcend its effects and live in a state of Grace where that which lies beyond illusion becomes available to you.
Decisions made with the ego’s help are themselves an expression of chaos. They are an attempt to manage chaos by introducing more chaos. This will obviously lead to the continuation of chaos and strengthen the need to manage and control it.
Chaos does not need to be controlled; it needs to be recognized as nothingness.
Certainly it does not seem as if you are choosing life or death with every decision you make, yet that is exactly what you are doing.
Your unawareness of this fact affects it not at all. Decisions arise from the necessity of choosing between alternatives presented you by constantly changing circumstances and events. They are at once both a response and an attempt to control the chaos of life and make it manageable.
Your decisions stem from the belief in separation and all that entails, or they rest on Truth and move you in Its direction.
Decisions are always made with the guide you have chosen. Each decision is a choice for the ego or the Voice for God.
Who is the one who makes decisions for you? Is it the ego, the illusory voice of separation, or is it the Holy Spirit Who speaks for God and Truth?
Decisions are never made alone. They are always made in collaboration with the voice you are listening to; they always proceed from and uphold the thought system your guide represents.
God’s Grace is all encompassing; It cannot be put into words. By Grace you live, by Grace you are released. By Grace you give, by Grace you will release.
All that is given by God must be shared, that It extend to the whole world and beyond. The Grace and the Love of God is the greatest Gift that can be given or received.
God’s Grace is given to those who have chosen Love in the midst of darkness, forgiveness in a world of conflict.
His Grace is available to all, but It cannot be received by a mind dedicated to attack. Love opens the door that Grace may enter. Grace accompanies Love as surely as sorrow accompanies hatred.
Let your Love for your brothers pervade all that you think, do, and say.
When Love rules your mind and directs your life, you will bring the blessings and Grace of God to all you know or meet or see.
True forgiveness is itself a miracle that blesses giver and receiver.
Let all help be given you that you may be able to help those sent to you for healing.
