Mother Teresa was once asked to join a march against the war in Vietnam. She responded that she wouldn’t march against war, but she would march FOR peace. I was reminded of this today when my favorite historian, Heather Cox Richardson, mentioned the monks walking across the United States for peace. They are not protesting the policies of the regime which is working to take over our country, or trying to rid our land of the masked goons who are ruthlessly abusing people, but rather they are reminding us that we have the seeds of peace in us, and that we have the keys to the future. She advises us to look to them as an example of what we can do. Pick one thing and concentrate on that. For example, choose one cabinet member who is particularly offensive in your view — for example, the wrestling woman in charge of education or the alien in charge of health — and write letters or organize others to work to remove them from their unelected positions. Don’t forget those wonderful seeds of peace in us which we can spread. And knowing we have the keys to the future is incredibly empowering in these times of extreme change.
“The unforgiving mind is full of fear, and offers love no room to be itself; no place where it can spread its wings in peace and soar above the turmoil of the world.”
A Course in Miracles W-121.2:1
“Glory be to God, and peace to the struggling hearts! Christ hath rolled away the stone from the door of human hope and faith, and through the revelation and demonstration of life in God, hath elevated them to possible at-one-ment with the spiritual idea of man and his divine Principle, Love.”
Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 45:16–21
