INNER PEACE

August 10, 2008 on 10:15 pm | In Uncategorized | No Comments

Real inner peace comes from the willingness to let go of the junk that has been in the way.  Inner peace is recognized when you can begin to do some real house cleaning in your thoughts. I find that inner peace already is…that it is the natural home you are born with.  The problem is all the negative thinking that occurs, and then all the negative behavior that follows. It takes courage to be able to take a good look at what I refer to as the ego’s thought system and be very honest about the motives behind that.  Most people do not want to do this, because it is indeed a purification process, and can be a dark night of the soul.  However, you can do the cleaning up now, or later…it will not matter, because all of us will get to it no matter what.   Once you are willing to go through the process, inner peace will absolutely shine itself into your whole being.  I hear many people say, “why can’t I just say I will let it all go, and let the SPIRIT heal my mind?”  Well, that is a good start, but it is not permanent.   In the 12-step recovery program, you are required to take a moral inventory of yourself and to admit to GOD, and another person, the exact nature of your wrongs.   This is big stuff, and not easy, but it works, and in my opinion, this can be a 100% recovery from life if you are, indeed, willing.   Once you can do this and learn how to forgive yourself, and all that you think happened, inner peace will be the result. Inner peace is an inside job.  Are you willing to do what it takes? Are you willing to surrender and die to your old self, so that your real self can emerge?   This is a transformation so worth going through, but I will not tell you it is easy.  It is not!  But the result is true inner peace…the peace of GOD.
BLESSINGS, LOVE, AND LIGHT,
