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.

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. |

Realization of Perfect Peace
Ralph Waldo
Trine -1897
Peace lies not in the external world. It
lies within one's own soul. We may travel
over many different avenues in pursuit of
it, we may seek it through the channels of
the bodily appetites and passions, we may
seek it through all the channels of the
external, we may chase for it hither and
thither, but it will always be just beyond
our grasp, because we are searching for it
where it is not. In the degree, however,
that we order the bodily appetites and
passions in accordance with the promptings
of the soul within will the higher forms
of happiness and peace enter our lives;
but in the degree that we fail in doing
this will disease, suffering, and
discontent enter in.
To be at one with God is to be at peace.
There are people I know who have come into
such a conscious realization of their
oneness with this Infinite Life, this
Spirit of Infinite Peace, that their lives
are fairly bubbling over with joy.
Then take the thought that you can, take
it merely as a seed-thought, if need be,
plant it in your consciousness, tend it,
cultivate it, and it will gradually reach
out and gather strength from all quarters.
It will focus and make positive and active
the spiritual force within you that is now
scattered and of little avail. It will
draw to itself force from without. It will
draw to your aid the influence of other
minds of its own nature, minds that are
fearless, strong, courageous. You will
thus draw to yourself and connect yourself
with this order of thought. If earnest and
faithful, the time will soon come when all
fear will loose its hold; and instead of
being an embodiment of weakness and a
creature of circumstances, you will find
yourself a tower of strength and a master
of circumstances.
The one who is centered in Deity is the
one who not only outrides every storm, but
who through the faith, and so the
conscious power that is in them, faces
storm with the same calmness and serenity
that they face fair weather, for they know
well beforehand what the outcome will be.
They know that underneath are the
everlasting arms. He it is who realizes
the truth of the injunction, 'Rest in the
Lord, wait patiently for Him and He shall
give thee thy heart's desire.' All shall
be given, simply given, to him who is
ready to accept it. Can anything be
clearer than this?

Metaphysics 101
Peace: Perfect harmony,
well-being. Peace is not an absence of
activity, but a very vital, vibrant quality
of joyous serenity, where everything is in
harmonious relationship. |

Happiness Is Within
Happiness indeed is relative to each one of
us. Certainly each of us expects to be
happy, and we will be as we continue to grow
and mature. Happiness is a reality that
exists within us right now. Wisdom and
understanding require that we expand our
awareness within the universe of our own
selves.
As we begin to realize the inherent good
within us, then we begin to see the inherent
good within all people. We are able then to
identify those aptitudes and qualities which
we seek to express. Since we have recognized
this goodness we can proceed to express it
through our personalities.
We pass beyond the bondage which sets limits
upon ourselves - for only we have created
this limitation. We are now free to live
with wisdom and understanding. We become
interdependent with life. We realize
peacefulness.
I recognize the truth of peace in God. God
is loveliness and peacefulness. Infinite
peace is given freely by the love of God.
This is Reality. I am happy right now. This
is true because I have become aware of the
greater happiness within myself.
I have unified with the Reality of God
within me. Therefore, I realize that I am a
co-creator with the universe. I create my
own laws of happiness. This is true because
I have uncovered the inherent goodness
within myself.
The possibility to expand is released into
being as I give thankfulness for life. My
word and my feelings are now released into
the tenderness of God. And I am happy. Glenn
Stanley Moran.

Treatment For Peace
"To the counselors of peace is joy,"
Proverbs 12:20
Peace is attained through quiet prayer that
attunes me to my Father-God. He fills me
with inner peace and frees me from inharmony
or disturbed thoughts.
I turn any distressing problem over to my
Father and I rejoice that He is at hand. Any
anxiety about any situation is released to
Him and His Peace reigns.
Today is the day to shed worry of every
sort. If I am concerned about my health, if
my finances need strengthening, if a loved
one is facing unpleasant circumstances, if
difficult decisions are before me, I turn to
my Father and release these concerns into
His Hands. I know He loves me and pours out
His Peace, causing any problems to melt in
His Presence. I feel His Peace beyond
understanding taking charge in my life.
In my peace I find great joy. I thrill to a
new rhythm as I discover my Father's
presence within my being. I am joyous in my
Father's presence, and all is well.
I am poised and centered in my Father and am
truly at peace with myself and the entire
world. I am filled with His Joy.

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.

Letters from the Heart
At this season of giving, I gave thanks for
all the master teachers who have opened a
path of wisdom for so many of us to travel
on. I feel so blessed to be open to Truth,
and to the teachings of Emmet Fox, who has
brought me through many of life's
challenges. I acknowledge all of your
wonderful efforts and your dedication to
keep a light for those of us who seek.
Please accept my gift of support and my
love. Pat C, New York City
I
have something wonderful to report. Through
applying the teachings of Emmet Fox, and
working with affirmations this year, I have
overcome a serious health issue and job
loss. With a clean report of health from my
doctor and a new job, I feel a sense of joy
that I have never felt before. Scientific
prayer is very powerful. I am so thankful
and happy.
Louise, J, Canada.
Emmet Fox was the "vehicle" that carried me
to the Science of Mind and eventually
through practitioner studies and licensure
as a spiritual counselor years later. What a
deep spiritual consciousness that man
had/has. Thank you. Eric
It
was about 65 years ago that I first learned
of Emmet Fox. Every Sunday my dear mother
would attend his services and I the church
Sunday school in New York City. Since then I
have studied his books and used his
teachings to raise my three children who are
all successful adults. A copy of "The Sermon
on the Mount" can be found in each
household. My grandson, has just begun to
read "Power Through Constructive Thinking."
Our family grew up with the wisdom of Emmet
Fox. My children achieved what Emmet Fox
hoped would be accomplished for all of God's
children - a good heritage of spiritual
Truth. Thank you for continuing his work.

Let us make this holiday season, along with
the outer activities in which we are
engaged, a time of re-birth of the Christ
Spirit of love in our heart and mind. We
return to God the priceless gift of our love
and gratitude when we make our life a
testimony of joyous and happy living. As we
enrich ourselves with the words of Emmet
Fox, and the other wonderful Truth teachers,
the Christ Spirit of love will be reborn in
us. Our gift of gratitude and love to Him
will then be returned to us as blessings. A
happy and blessed holiday to you and yours!
