PEACE, THE MIRACLE WORKER - Emmet Fox
REGENERATION MEANS BUILDING A NEW MENTALITY; that is, creating a new soul in place of your present one.
It does not mean merely improving your present self - it means producing (through the power of God, of course), a new self.
If you do this, everything else in your life will rapidly change for the better. Your health will improve. Your appearance will improve because, as you know, the
body is but the reflection of the soul. The world around you will be changed because you will be seeing it through a new and better personality. Other people will become
much more attractive and friendly to you, and this will be because your soul will be filled with peace, and therefore you will radiate peace, and other people will
get it intuitively. Everybody likes peace and harmony and they are attracted to any source from which it comes.
If your heart really is filled with peace "nothing shall by any means hurt you." But, of course, your heart must be filled with peace and to bring this about you
must desire it more than anything else. This will mean forgiving everyone and harboring good will toward all.
Naturally you cannot radiate peace if you do not first possess it within yourself. You cannot radiate anything from the outside. To radiate any quality, that quality
must be within yourself. Hypocrites sometimes try to radiate qualities which they do not possess or feel, but they always fail to get results in a very short time.
True peace of mind is the short cut to regeneration which requires a fundamental change in ourselves.
The Master said, Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you.
THE TRUE LIGHT
Ella Knox
It is claimed that one match struck in a huge darkened auditorium can be seen by everyone in that room. If this is true, then surely one word of truth spoken, written, or lived by anyone should have its impact upon people. For this reason it is imperative that we watch that our thoughts, words, and actions are tuned to Divine Love. So often we let thoughtless criticism and personal judgment of others become our way of life. This is blowing out our light. Of what good are we if, having a whole book of matches at hand (truth teaching), we sit in darkness along with our fellowman? To continuously weep about the evils in the world only increases them. It is "better to light just one little candle than to curse the darkness."
Our happy task is to express joy and hope to the world. If we can keep our candle lit, others may be inspired to light theirs, and when all candles are glowing, the entire room (or area of consciousness) will be radiantly expressing God's Presence.
I am grateful for the task of keeping my light glowing, not only that I may see the way, but that others may benefit from it. To this end I continually seek the Divine Presence, the real Light of the world. This Light is around and through me, as me. I seek to see this same Light in each person I meet.
YOUR MIRACLE MENTAL SCREEN
Wilferd A. Peterson
BACK IN 1935, my friend Harold Sherman, pioneer writer of self-help books, brought out a volume entitled Your Key to Happiness, which has become a classic. In it he suggested that each of us should visualize a personal blank motion picture screen and should project on that screen mental pictures of our own health, success and happiness. TODAY our Giant Screen is being taken over by television, movies, and the printed word. Our minds are being saturated with an endless flow of mental pictures of war, violence, riot, hate, fear, despair and hopelessness. A half-hour newscast tells us of alJ the evil that is going on in the world and we have come to accept deep in our subconscious minds that this is the way it must be. WHAT BETTER TIME than the Christmas season to try to change your own mental picture?
THIS MONTH I suggest that we make an experiment. Visualize a Giant Screen on which we can project the longed-for Christmas dream of peace for the world. LET US schedule ourselves to devote fifteen minutes each day to projecting a world of peace on our Giant Screen. Go to a quiet spot and relax. Close your eyes and project thoughts of peace upon that screen. Here are a few suggestions; you'll think of others: VISUALIZE men at conference tables instead of on battlefields. See houses and buildings going up instead of being destroyed. See smiling men shaking hands instead of shaking fists. See the gathering of loving families. See safe and quiet cities. See beautiful parks and happy children at play. See churches full of warmly devoted people. See people of all races and creeds working together for peace. VISUALIZE on your Giant Screen God's goodness in action in the world. Believe it!
A MILLION PEOPLE projecting positive mental pictures each day during this Christmas season on their Giant Screens can work a miracle.

Live from within, if you would have power and peace.
The world, as never before, needs you and me. It needs our unwavering faith in
God. It needs our positive certainty of God-in-man -- the Christ. It needs our
steadfast love. It needs the power that comes to one - - who through faith and
love attains the Christ Consciousness. Let us radiate this consciousness at this
blessed season and throughout the year, and thus help bring greater light to the
world.

God dwells at the center of my being. God is Peace; this Peace enfolds me in Its
Arms now. There is a deep feeling of security, vitality, and strength underlying
this peace. This inner sense of peace, in which I now dwell, is the Silent Brooding
Presence of God. The Love and the Light of God watch over me, as a loving. mother
watches over the sleeping child. Deep in my heart is the Holy Presence that is my
peace, my strength, and my source of supply. All fear has vanished. I see God in
all people; I see God manifest in all things. I am an instrument of the Divine
Presence. I now release this inner peace; it flows through my entire being releasing
and dissolving all problems; this
is the peace that passeth understanding.
(Joseph Murphy ~ The Quiet Mind))

When You Want Peace
Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. Psalms 122:7
"When you want peace of mind-get away from things," counseled Emmet Fox, "and dwell upon the Presence of God instead."
Your palace is your own consciousness. The walls spoken of in this Bible verse are invisible, but just as real as any stone wall. Your walls are your convictions of
Truth which protect you from the negative suggestions that are broadcast all around you. Have a conviction of peace, entertain ideas of peace, seek to be a peace-giver
to your world. God does not withhold your good, but neither does He force any good upon you. Instead, you must cultivate within yourself the equivalent of what you desire to be made
manifest in your life, whether it is peace, joy, prosperity, health, advancement, or whatever good you seek. First, know that it is your birthright to claim your good. Second, prepare for that
good by building the equivalent of the good you seek into your own consciousness. Third, be grateful for the good you seek even before you receive it. As you practice
these steps, you will have peace and prosperity within the walls of your own consciousness. Affirm now with feeling: I prepare for my good by being grateful for it now.

Be Ye Transformed - Neville
To be transformed, the whole basis of your thoughts must change. But your thoughts cannot change unless you have new ideas, for you think from your ideas. All transformation
begins with an intense, burning desire to be transformed. The first step in the "renewing of the mind" is desire. You must want to be different [and intend to be]
before you can begin to change yourself. Then you must make your future dream a present fact. You do this by assuming the feeling of your wish fulfilled. By desiring
to be other than what you are, you can create an ideal of the person you want to be and assume that you are already that person. If this assumption is persisted
in until it becomes your dominant feeling, the attainment of your ideal is inevitable. The ideal you hope to achieve is always ready for an incarnation, but unless you
yourself offer it human parentage, it is incapable of birth. Therefore, your attitude should be one in which having desired to express a higher state - you alone accept
the task of incarnating this new and greater value of yourself.

Peace & Harmony Abound in our World!
Peace is at the center of everything: The eternal equilibrium of the universe is
never even temporarily disturbed; there is a place within us which is this equilibrium.
As we align ourself with the presence of God within, we re-establish inner peace.
When a disagreement, difficulty or personal drama arises, remember the stillness
at the core of your being. Rest in that stillness, even for just a moment. Allow
the presence of God to rise up in you. As peace soothes our mind you can return
to face the situation at hand, bringing along God's peace, and experience its transforming energies.
