Also, thought is not what you are. These statements are keys to finding the peace of God.<\/p>\n<p><em>The peace of God is not found in thought.<\/em> \u2013 If you observe thought, you will notice there are some joyful, peaceful thoughts, but those thoughts are not constant. All thoughts come and go. When attention is focused on the movement of thought, you experience change. If thoughts are currently joyful or peaceful, you have those experiences temporarily. However, when they are replaced by worrisome thoughts, thoughts of guilt or unworthiness, blame, annoyance, anger, etcetera, you experience loss of peace.<\/p>\n<p>The peace of God is constant. Since thought is not constant, the peace of God cannot be found in thought.<\/p>\n<p><em>Thought is not what you are.<\/em> \u2013 Today\u2019s workbook lesson says, \u201cIn peace I was created. And in peace do I remain. It is not given me to change my Self.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Peace is what you are<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Today, when you pay attention to awareness during meditation, notice it is perfect peace. Thoughts change, and thoughts come and go, but the awareness they arise in is perfectly open, changeless peace.<\/p>\n<p>Also, as you watch awareness today, notice that you are not thought. You are the perfectly open, changeless peace that thought arises in. If an emotion arises, notice you are not emotion. Like thought, emotion comes and goes; emotions change. But you are the awareness that is aware of emotion. You are the perfectly open, changeless peace that emotions arise in.<\/p>\n<p>To seek and find the peace of God is merely to seek our Self. To know the peace of God is to identify with our ever-present Self, instead of identifying with the moving show of thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please take time this morning to read, \u201cWhat is Forgiveness,\u201d to contemplate Lesson 230, and to spend time in meditation.
