When we’re completely ok with what is, then unfathomable peace arises. We can still attempt to change what needs to be changed; but if we must maintain that peace then we can’t be attached to the outcomes of our efforts. Peace is an inside job, it’s really quite simple.
Reality surrounds us. It is us. Very accessible and always present. It’s quite ordinary and special at the same time. It’s here, now, in the silence, that is us.
Only God’s will is. Yes even the seemingly unsavory stuff that happens is God’s will, unfolding. One solitary and separated mind, which is us, can never know what’s good for the entire universe. Which is why not all our dreams will come true, we simply don’t know what’s good for us and everyone around us. Only God’s will is.
We are God’s own creation, within and without. All that we see, experience and are, is God’s stuff. If we can buy this idea, then what can we be afraid of? We’re here on a grand adventure that takes us all the way home. And we get closer to the Truth when we can banish fear and become love. That’s when the adventure can truly begin!
Teaching something in the Course’s lingo means to model and exhibit that quality. Teaching love means to become love, which is our very essence. And when we ‘do’ that, we awaken the love-filled center of the ‘other’. The torch of love is thus passed on limitlessly. Turns out, that’s our only real purpose here on earth, to teach love, to become it.
Life means for us to just be happy. And what better way to be happy than by just laughing? Laughing boosts our immune system, relieves pain, reduces depression and lengthens our lives! More importantly while we’re laughing, we’re not generating thoughts and therefore are fully present in the here and now!
We’re distracted by our creations that surround us. While it can be fun and games, it’s also a house of cards, it’ll eventually all come crashing down. So how do we seek and become the permanent, that which always is? How do we come back home? By only seeking and putting our constant attention on that which is, here and now.
