"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.
