Peace is possible

There is One Life, One Intelligence, One Infinite Presence expressing Itself as all creation. That Life is wise. It is whole. It is not divided against Itself.

I recognize that this same Divine Intelligence lives within every nation, every leader, every citizen. Beneath fear, beneath reaction, beneath history and hurt, there is a deeper current of wisdom seeking expression.

I affirm that Peace is not fragile. It is fundamental. It is woven into the fabric of reality itself. Where there has been retaliation, I know there can be reflection. Where there has been aggression, I know there can be awakening. Where decisions have been made in haste, I affirm clarity, accountability, and alignment with higher wisdom.

I declare that leadership guided by conscience, courage, and compassion rises now. Voices of reason strengthen. Paths of diplomacy open. Hearts soften without losing strength. The Infinite Mind knows how to harmonize what seems fractured. The Divine Order is not lost. It is unfolding. I claim hope as a living force. Not naive hope, but grounded hope. Hope that steadies hands. Hope that inspires wise action. Hope that reminds humanity of its shared destiny.

Peace is possible. Peace is practical. Peace is present as a potential in this very moment.

I trust the deeper current of Good moving through our world, even now. And I align my own heart, thoughts, and actions with that Peace.

And so it is.

Release the past and live now

One Life in and through each and every moment. One Infinite Presence enveloping all, including everything and everyone – excluding nothing and no one. A Presence that is Love, Wisdom, Connection, Joy – the very Source of all. This One Life is eternal and is always present in all circumstances and life adventures. It is the flow of Good that creates and blesses all creation. 

And I share in that Life. The One Life includes me. As the realization of God’s Life flows through me, and as I open to It, the love, wisdom, joy and reality of connection with all things become evident to me. It is what I am.

I am open to the guidance that Love inspires in me. I open to wisdom to guide me through this release and forgiveness. I open to the realization of the essential connection that I have with all that has ever occurred in my life and all that has not. Each and every experience of life has shown up at exactly the right time to be the unfolding of my spiritual evolution. I am grateful for being exactly where I am right NOW.

I am deeply appreciative of all who share this Now with me. I am grateful for any and every event, conversation or circumstance that has brought me to a deeper understanding of God as my life. This love, wisdom and connection is God acting through me. I cherish the understanding that I have the power to choose the fullness of being and with that comes Joy. Willing to release any ideas of past hurts or judgment, I claim my freedom from any thoughts or memories that may obstruct my view and experience of my Good right NOW. I choose to be right here, right now in the very heart of my heart’s desire.

The breath I breathe right now feels like a blessing of gratitude. So I give great thanks for that which brings me back to realizing my connection with All That Is.

Going forward now, I release this Word, letting the Infinite Presence as the Law manifest that which is spoken in faith and intention.
