The term “rest in peace” is usually said when someone passes from this earthly plane. It can also be the key to living free from beliefs and ties to past experiences. This clears the path to knowing Truth. To know Truth means to know ourselves, and to demonstrate divine Principle in our every thought and action. Although I find this form of spiritual practice invigorating, not everyone feels the same. Many people think they would be giving away their individuality if they let go of their personal history. I find the opposite to be true. When losing a sense of personal responsibility, when releasing beliefs about certain circumstances, there is a pure, empty space left in thought. This space allows a recognition of what has always been there: Love. Divine Love. This is our power: the ability to accept the good which is there for us, the ability to rest in peace. Namaste …
“This is the day of peace. You rest in God, and while the world is torn by winds of hate your rest remains completely undisturbed. Yours is the rest of truth. Appearances cannot intrude on you. You call to all to join you in your rest, and they will hear and come to you because you rest in God. They will not hear another voice than yours because you gave your voice to God, and now you rest in Him and let Him speak through you.
—A Course in Miracles W-109.4:1-6
“…when we realize that immortal Mind is ever active, and that spiritual energies can neither wear out nor can so-called material law trespass upon God-given powers and resources, we are able to rest in Truth, refreshed by the assurances of immortality, opposed to mortality."
—Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 387:8-12
