My children
Did
you not like the words I gave you last time
Did
they not offer you hope
Are
you so certain that people will not respond to them
That
you are discouraged to even bother sending my words out
to the world
Forgive
me my children
I know
not what words to use
The
answer has been given and given and given
Throughout
the ages it has been given
And
there is only one answer my dear children
Peace
in the individual’s heart and in his life
That
IS the answer
That
is the foundation for world Peace
Peace
in the heart of each individual
Any
and all other attempts at world Peace
Are
built on false and shaky foundations
The
structures collapse at the slightest provocation
Spread
the message to each individual
And
it is a message of hope
For
it is the answer
All
the individual has to do is completely within his or her
own power
You
are not dependent on governments nor on kings
You
are not even dependent on the people on the other side of
the globe
If you
want world Peace
You
know what you must do
You
must achieve Peace within yourself
That
is your 1st step
It is
an essential step and cannot be overlooked
It is
the stepping stone
That may become
the builder’s stumbling block
Should
you, in your mad scramble for world Peace
In your
hurry
Omit
this 1st step
Achieve
this Peace my children
Learn
to reach and
feel
and maintain Peace within yourselves
Then
and only then
Do you
go to the 2nd step
But
you have not yet accomplished the 1st
And
you complain that I repeat myself
I repeat
myself and repeat myself and will continue to repeat myself
Until
you have heard me and have shown me that you have heard
me
By living
Peace
By being
beings of Peace
By holding
nothing but Peace within yourselves and with each other
Only
then will you hear new words from me
For
then you will be ready to hear what the 2nd step
is and then the 3rd
But
for now dear children
Do not
criticize that my counsel is too simplistic
Achieve
this simple counsel
And
then, turn to me for more
This
simple concept
Peace
within the heart of each one of you
And
yes, you are only responsible for
YOU
Achieve
Peace within your heart
Peace
toward yourself
Peace
toward your brethren – all of your brethren
Peace
toward Life itself
And
then my dear ones
Come
to me
And
then I will tell you NEW words
Until
then, read and re-read the words that have already been
given to you
Read
and understand the lives that have been lived for your edification
Understand
how simple it is
And
how Peace and Love operate – one individual at a time
And
you are the individual who needs to become Peace
You
be the Peace that you wish to see manifested in the world
Do this
1st and simple and profound step
And
I will delight in telling you new words that describe the
2nd and 3rd steps
Do this
my children
I promise
you that I will deliver further and specific instructions
If you
individually become beings of Peace
Again,
do not concern yourself with whether your brethren are or
are not
Also
doing the same
You
be Peace
You
be a model for Peace
You
radiate Peace
And
Peace will surround you
It must
for it will extend outward from you
And
all who come within your vicinity
Will
feel this Peace and it will affect them
And
then it will be their choice as to how they will respond
But
you will have shown them a higher way
And
they will have hope
You
will have given them that hope
For
you will be living that hope
You
will be living what they dare not dream for
You
will be living beings of Peace
I hear
your impatience
I sense
your frustration at my simple words
You
want complicated solutions
You
want organized and mass movements
You
want political overhaul
All
sound and fury my children
Amounting
to nothing
Achieving
and accomplishing nothing
But
perpetuating and even increasing the flames of war
Peace
must start at the individual level
That
is the only place it can start
And
it must start with you
Drop
your resistance; drop your anger; drop your fear
Breathe
Be still
Breathe
some more
Be still
yet
And
ASK
Gently,
calmly ask
For
the gift of the Spirit of Peace to descend upon you
And
then sit still
And
wait
And
be silent
And
breathe
And
sense the Spirit of Peace as it enters and fills your being
Acknowledge
its presence
Give
thanks to it for responding to your request
And
Feel
Feel
the Peace that has entered your being
For
it is a palpable thing
You
will feel different
You
will think differently
Your
emotions and your body will be stilled
Luxuriate
in that stillness
Enjoy
the Peace that you feel
Do this
meditation often
Once
a day would not be too often
And
observe with delight
As you
are able to maintain your equanimity
Even
as you go out there in the world
Even
as you leave the sanctuary of your room
And
go out there
Where
there is so much loud noise and so much chaos
And
everything seems to be happening at an ever accelerating
pace
But
you dear one
You
my special dear ones
Who
have listened to my simple words and have implemented them
You
will maintain your Peace
Peace
will maintain its envelope around you
You
will continue to be suffused and surrounded by Peace
You
will continue to radiate Peace
You
will continue to touch others with Peace
And
Peace will spread outward from you
From
you to your neighbor
From
your neighbor to his neighbor
In an
ever widening ripple
You
speak of the 7th degree of separation
It is
more true than you realize
So the
Peace that you receive, and are, and live
May
and will affect others in an ever widening circle of individuals
touched
Thank
you my children for listening to me
I thank
you for your patience
And
I wish you every success
For
you see it is up to you
Do not
cry and wring your hands and look up to the Heavens
And
cry out “Why God Why?”
Because
you know why
The
outer reflects the inner
Do not
lead mass movements and organizations of protests
Surely
your history has taught you that the most innocent of beginnings
Can
culminate in disastrous results
The
outer can not lead
It can
only follow
The
outer can only manifest what lies within the heart of man
All
the best laid plans and theories fail
Due
to the hardness of man’s heart
That
is why, dear children, and yes you are my children
Please
do not take offense at this word
For
to me you are but little ones
Scrambling
about this way and that
Uncertain,
fearful, and stubborn in your determination to go it alone
To go
without God
And
you are free to do so
God
will not interfere
God
can not interfere
Unless
you authorize him to
And
do remember that God must respect each individual’s free
will
God
is limited to the level of the individual
Do you
understand now dear one
Why
it is so important that Peace be attained by the individual
For
God will not violate any one person’s free will
God
will not
And
neither should you
Do not
force Peace or democracy or war or religion or anything
On another
For
you are then doing what God himself does not do
Be the
Peace that you seek
It will
accomplish far more than any of your other ideas
None
of your complicated stratagems will work
Not
over the long-term
Be the
Peace that you seek
And
then turn to me
And
then turn within
And
then in stillness, listen
In stillness
listen
And
in stillness hear
And
know
And
then you can act in supreme confidence
Sure
of your step
Certain
of your way
Leading
your fellows, one at a time, to Peace
And
with these words I leave you my children
Please
I ask you to give them due consideration
Do not
so quickly discard them
Read
them and allow them to sink into your being
Consider
the possibility that I might be right
Consider
the possibility that if you do what I say
Then
I will also do what I have promised
And
continue to show you the subsequent steps necessary
To achieve
world-wide Peace on a real
And
therefore permanent basis
Consider
all these my children
Do not
feel that your intelligence is being insulted
I recognize
your intelligence
I also
recognize the predicament you are in
And
I also recognize the direction you are headed in
Even
if you do not
Consider
my words
Listen
to them
Hear
them
And
BE
the
PEACE
that you would offer the world
I love
you my children
I love
you with a mother’s love
And
my heart cries for you
For
what you are currently creating for yourselves and for your
children
And
I beg of you
Please
heed my words
Please
heed my words
Please
heed my words
