"Inner peace will allow
you to show unconditional love
for your fellow man" |
|
 Inner
peace is the first and, for most people, the hardest lesson to learn.
But, it is also the most important since everything else is based
upon it.
To illustrate how difficult inner peace is to achieve, I'll give you
an example from my own life.

"Shortly after meeting Alexander Everett,
himself a spiritual master, I believed myself to be on the correct
path to achieving inner peace.
I loved my fellow man unconditionally. I accepted their weaknesses
and failings since I had previously exhibited many of the same
ones myself.
 I
remember a time, after one of my awareness classes, I was having
dinner with friends, and was lamenting the fact that I had been
not allowed to see my children for several months. Sad to say,
I played the hurt divorced man blaming his divorced wife. I
had very few good words, for my former wife Patricia.
My friends had to explain to me even with all of my training
that, for all of the love and joy that I was feeling for the
world, there was one area where I wasn't applying it. They quickly
noted that I did not view her with this new found unconditional
love, that I was seeing everyone else in the whole world with.
That night I drove to my wife's house and parked in front. It
was about 10:00 pm. It was a cold night - just beginning to
snow. I sat in front of the house and conjured up all the love
that I could. It was hard at first, but failure meant not seeing
the children, I tried to 'center', and to check in to my higher
power. I wasn't having a lot of luck. The anger was still playing
a loud song in my head. So, I created a diversion.
 I
thought only of little Greg and precious Heather, my kids. The
love began to swell my senses. I started to play with this incredible
energizing love force. I envisioned it like a giant ball of
light. I saw it hovering just above the truck. I could feel
it connecting and energizing every cell in my body. I was real,
I knew it. Then, just as I heard a message saying "send this
love into the house, the light streaked off, straight up in
the air, and directly in through the top of the house.
The excitement woke me out of this dreamlike state. There was
about 4 inches of snow upon the ground. I realized that I had
been there a long time, engine running. Panic swept through
me as my watch now read 2:00 AM! I'd lost four hours. I put
the truck in to gear, scanned the house and drove off in the
snow.
The next morning, the phone rang at 6:00 AM! It was Patricia,
she simply asked me to come and pick up the kids now, and hung
up the phone. I raced to pick up my precious cargo, my mind
whirling. With what had just happened. "Love works!"
was all that I kept hearing in my head. Then it comes to me.
It is the conscious mind that determines the fate of your living
existence. You decide!" |

Only after you have achieved inner peace, as I eventually did with
Patricia that night, can you take the next important steps to spiritual
health and a meaningful life.
