Please read and contemplate the following commentary in the same way that you read and contemplate the Thought of Awakening. The commentaries are designed to enrich your understanding of the Thoughts of Awakening.
~Commentary on the Wish to be Independent~
The wish to be independent is the wish for “me” who is separate from “you” and whose key interests may be different. We may at times find similarities among our varied interests, but this is rare and never long-lasting, for always “my” key interest is to look out for “me.”
And can there be any question that this thought must eventually lead to conflict and to pain?
Yet this is the thought you listen to, and the choice you make, whenever you choose to worship the wish to be independent.

Thoughts of Awakening # 208
The choice for peace
sees the Heart.
This is how you know
you have chosen peace.
It is as if you see
the Heart in everyone you meet
and in everyone you think of.
It is as if you see
through the Heart
into the world,
so although the world has not changed,
you know only its Heart.
This way of seeing
is peace,
and it comes through your decision
to listen only
to the Voice of Peace.
~From our Holy Spirit
