“The peace of God is shining in me now.”

What a wonderful realization it is to see that the peace we may have been seeking has always been right here within ourselves, waiting for us to discover it. This peace of God is ours now and always. To recognize this fact is the meaning of enlightenment. We needn't seek for ways to change ourselves in order to experience this light! Where we stand right here and now is sufficient. We're not being asked to change anything, to do anything differently, but only to see Truth. If things need changing in our material existence, then so it shall be. I have a dear friend who recently moved to a remote area in an idyllic setting. There she sat herself down and read through the Course in Miracles book, in its entirety, three times! As I spoke with her on the phone recently, I felt a softness about her which has been growing for years. Its appearance isn't indicative of enlightenment to something new, but of knowing the Truth of her own Self. Some days I feel this same knowing about myself. Others it seems impossible to climb out of the busy-ness which can hide this reality. One thing is for sure, laughter and joy are the keys to opening the door. The more joy which is shared, the more laughter we give to ourselves and others, the easier it becomes to express the qualities of God, which come flowing through us with our recognition of what we truly are -- Love!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Truth and Love enlighten the understanding, in whose "light shall we see light;" and this illumination is reflected spiritually by all who walk in the light and turn away from a false material sense.”
