I AM the world at peace.
While I’m looking at what’s happening in the world around me the same way we all are, the swing of my awareness comes back with astounding clarity and power to myself.
The questions arise for me, who am I in the ‘peace of the world’? Who am I to declare peace for all beings on this planet?
It’s an obvious fact that we share this planet among us, as our sustenance, as our environment, as our point of manifestation in form, as the collective world we live in. It isn’t, and can never be, ‘all about me’. All things, in a planetary sense, in a worldly sense, are shared responsibilities among all the beings who exist here.
What part do I personally play in coming out of war, chaos, and poverty, and in bringing in peace and prosperity for the good of all? This is where I come to rest in my own responsibility and my own ability to realize and to be the agent of change.
The change required, in my view, is a change of heart. The only heart I may choose to command a shift in is my own.
My own heart and my immortal spirit is tired of war, tired of violence in all forms, tired of lack and limitation too. I’m tired of carrying the helplessness and the hopelessness of it all, and drowning in the feelings of oppression and grief that arise from focusing on how I can do nothing to change it.
The amount of grief pouring out of my core over the consideration of all we know that’s going on which is harmful to all beings is immense and overwhelming, but without this outpouring of what is so painful, untenable, and unworkable, where then will be the space within me for peace?
Everything which has been done that’s harmful to life on all levels and in all forms on this planet begs me to cry out in anguish, and weep for the line up of victims that literally spans centuries. This line up of woe calls out in my very DNA. The DNA lineage I carry holds this anguish, and in this way, my body carries the pain too.
My own mind has carried the lies that have kept this cycle of violence alive, and my own emotions have created the drive to sustain more and more of what has plagued this planet in the form of human misdeeds done in unconsciousness, and in the darkness of unawareness.
Therefore, I ask myself, what will it take to eradicate the violence and harmfulness in me?
It’s from this stance that I can finally find some footing, the foundation where I can find some place to make a stand. Since I’m incapable of making this stand for anyone other than myself, I do what I can do from where I am.
The realm and kingdom of me is both my privilege and responsibility to command and be sovereign in. In this space of me, I find my own proper authority.
My intent is to look to how I, myself, am responsible for carrying into each moment (to moment, to moment, to moment) the violence, the chaos, the harmfulness that continues to exist because we, as a collective, are carrying it forward and recreating it as we go.
No matter what the past may burden me with on so many levels of my being, I now ask myself, where am I now, who am I now?
I rightly ask myself if I’m ready to BE the peace in the world, instead of being all the ‘reasons’ peace can’t happen.
I declare that my change of heart going forward will be a change from focusing on what is hurtful and harmful to what is compassionate and helpful.
I’m willing to abandon the past that hurts so much in order to lend all my heart and soul to a new way of loving and to compassionate truth in all my relations.
I step fully into my responsibilities about what I carry in our collective re-creation, in how we work together to build a future where such violence and harmfulness is no longer even thinkable, and therefore no longer possible.
I bring with me, in coming together with others to do our work, my personal access to divine intelligence, and my willingness to strive always for unconditional love for one another.
I bring with me my desire to work and serve together with my sisters and brothers in this world, cleansed of the need to force or harm anyone in order to claim for myself that which I may not be receiving when respecting the freewill choices of others.
I invite all lovers to join me in this looking more deeply at what we each personally carry forward with us into our collective future.
The power of love outstrips the power of hate. Where hatred has done nothing but create more hatred, LOVE in it’s myriad forms creates nothing but more love.
Just the act of sharing these thoughts with you has produced a noticeable shift inside my most private and sacred heart center. This is a feeling of union and solidarity in the deepest compassion I’ve ever felt in this lifetime, and I invite all to share this feeling with me in your own awareness.
Since this sacred heart center is the one spot we all share in the ONEness of our beings, I invite all to share this profound shift with me.
May this love in our ONE Sacred Heart rage forth like a storm throughout all hearts of all beings, in all times, and in all places.
May all hearts beat as one.
If, for even one heartbeat, this was realized among us, imagine the peace that would resound throughout, not only our beloved planet, but into the very heavens themselves!
I AM, with all my mighty love, the peace of the world!
