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 Peace~
The world is a reflection of the mind, but I do not ask you to give thought to this. I ask you to give acceptance. For when you give thought to the simple ideas I teach, you also add confusion to what was not meant to be understood, but meant only to be.
The world is a reflection of the mind.
Now that you accept this fact, most likely without understanding, you can use this fact to see which voice you listen to in the mind.
Are you upset by what you see? If so, you are listening to the voice for independence, and you are wanting everything to be the way the voice for independence states it must be. This is not being. This is demanding and controlling, and in demanding and controlling there can never be peace.
If you are overjoyed by what you see…if you are grateful with no desire to interfere or change a thing…you are listening to the Voice of Peace, and so you are peace and peace is what you know. This is like music that has no sound, and yet the music never stops playing.
Be only honest with what you see. This is all that is asked as you look at a reflection. And then if it is not peace, turn immediately to Me. And if it is peace, enjoy the beauty of your song.

Thoughts of Awakening # 209
The goal that you seek
determines the experience that you have.
But be not confused by the goal,
for there are only two goals you can seek.
You can seek independence,
which is conflict,
or you can seek listening,
which is harmony and peace.
~From our Holy Spirit
