Prevention of the Ego from Attaining Control in Everything (Peace. I bet you never thought of the reality of the meaning of peace. This illusive thing that every one in humanity searches for or yearns for. Why is peace so hard to achieve? Perhaps because we over exaggerate things and rather than keeping things simplistic, we over complicate things to make us either look better, more knowledgable or to feed the Ego. However, peace is nothing more than a choice and its up to you to choose peace or not.
Why would you wish to stay in the energy of anger or resentment? Why waste your precious time in life feeding the ceaseless negativity that you cause yourself. Everything in life starts with a choice, you can choose what you eat or what you want to do during the day – to turn left or right or indeed what to wear. So if these choices are fairly simplistic and result in a form of contentment for that short time, why not choose to be peaceful. Surely it is better to live in an aura of happiness, than to have that negative cloud around you constantly raining negativity upon you.
When bad things happen to you in your life, ask yourself if they are really bad or is it merely the perception they are bad, which is a perception borne of your environment or circumstances caused by your choices. All that you experience in life is lessons that make you stronger, help you spiritually to advance and become the best you can be, but only if you embrace these tests openly and know that your mistakes are merely missed opportunities for you to grow spiritually.
There are those that find themselves the product of an environment that was not their own choice and so the perception is they are being persecuted as a result of someone else’s negative choice. In the darkness however, is always a blessing. Let’s look at the life of someone who experienced this sort of negativity because of the choices of someone else. Oprah Winfrey, Joyce Mayer and others who experienced so much heartache and sorrow in their lives, have used the lessons they have learned to touch many hearts and souls throughout the world. Perhaps then it was inevitable they had to experience the turmoil they had because their job was to save the lives of countless numbers of souls. They found their peace, they followed the divine plan that God had for them. Even in a tumultuous world, can we find peace and it starts with a mere simple choice to be PEACE and not to disallow peace.
Perhaps the next time you find yourself responding in an angry way, you could become more aware of how it feels to allow peace to give the answer. Nevertheless, how do you find that peace? It is easier than you think; I have a very good friend who sets an alarm on his phone to remind himself to give thanks to God during the day, this is one individual who learned from all his past negative choices but graciously accepted them as lessons. He woke up and now has found the beginning of peace. I myself use everything that I see beauty in, a flower, an animal, a child and then I breathe deeply and allow to breathe peace inside me. If I am in a situation that involves choosing a negative way to react or a positive way to react, I breathe deeply and allow peace to make the choice. I guess what I am saying is to allow peace to become you and you to become peace, then the choice becomes much easier to comprehend. Even when you are being attacked by others, you must realize that you are part of the divine energy of creation, you are also peace and therefore you can become peace and in the word’s of the great John Lennon “Give Peace a chance.”
