Chapter 10: Journey
"It is a journey without distance to a goal that has never changed." ACIM
I'm not sure when the importance of material things faded away. I'm not sure when it became OK to me that the weather and traffic be whatever they are. I'm not even sure when people, in whatever manner they appeared, became holy. Or, when the need to even have someone around left me. When I look back, I just notice that things I once held as so important no longer are. Sure, there are still attachments and specialness in my experiences. Yet I've learned again and again that the only path that makes any sense to me is the one that brings peace. To choose peace is to see God in everything and everyone. As Gandhi said, "Be the peace you want to see in the world." We choose it and bring it to our experience. It just seems to be the other way around. When I integrate the goal of peace into my everyday life, it soon becomes a beacon of light making the way clear. For me, this journey is a cleansing of the window to the Soul.
We are the Infinite Peace God. The Truth of us is like a pure and beautiful screen of Love. It is always innocent and peaceful and shines out from the mind embracing everything it sees. It brings me back to the home I've never really left. When I think of the many attractions of the world and all of its temptations, Peace is now the only one that draws me in. Nothing else makes any sense to me anymore. Peace brings with it the awareness of the Love of God. I am the perfect, loving, and unlimited extension of God. Only my thoughts and beliefs would convince me otherwise. I need only to stay in the peace and silence of this present moment. Everything else disappears from my awareness, and only the Peace and Love of God remain. They were always there, shining brightly as the background of my mind and no longer hidden by the meaningless thoughts and beliefs of a delusional mind. Don't let the clouds of delusion mask the Light of your Being. Just be the Light, for you are the Light that you seek.
"The journey to God is merely the reawakening of the knowledge of where you are always, and what you are forever. It is a journey without distance to a goal that has never changed. Truth can only be experienced. It cannot be described and it cannot be explained. I can make you aware of the conditions of truth, but the experience is of God. Together we can meet its conditions, but truth will dawn upon you of itself."
