Peace
August 15th, 2007 by Pete
If I am perfectly contented now, it is because I have ceased to be any kind of Container at all, but instead am content with my content.
Peace is our very nature, not something we come across. It’s where we are, nearer than all else. We don’t come to it; we come from it. To find it is to allow ourselves to go back to the place we never left.
At the Center is always perfection … off-Center is always imperfection. One thing alone can be relied on through all circumstances, and that is their Core of Peace.
The seer may often find himself in a tragic and sad and puzzling and troublesome world, but he never (so long as he’s seeing) lacks peace of mind. His basic anxiety has gone. Seeing that he is indeed Peace Itself, he is at rest.
