The War on Terror – The war against yourself is over. In this moment are you experiencing perfect peace? Are you perfectly happy and free from fear? If you are being honest with yourself, and if your answer is NO, the next question is this: IS THIS ALL RIGHT WITH YOU?
Is it all right with you that you are not in perfect peace? “What do you want?” You may, reasonably, admit that fear and conflict are not all right with you, and that you do want peace. To ask is to receive, and it must be that unless you are at peace, you have asked for war. Light or darkness, peace or war, the true or the false are yours, but not both. Opposites must be brought together, not kept apart. For their separation is only in your mind, and they are reconciled by union. In union, everything that is not real must disappear, for truth is union and union is peace. Do you want the end of conflict? Do you want peace? To know the truth about yourself? YES. We’re getting somewhere. Brother, the war against yourself is almost over. The journey's end is at the place of peace, and peace comes as you learn the truth about yourself. Peace requires the acceptance of but one thought: You are as God created you, not what you made of yourself. Whatever evil you may think you did, you are as God created you. Whatever mistakes you made, the truth about you is unchanged. Creation is eternal and unalterable. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. You are but trying to escape a bitter war from which you have escaped. The war is gone. You are the light of the world. This is the perfect answer to all illusions, and therefore to all conflict. It brings all the fearful images you have made about yourself to the truth, and helps you depart in peace, unburdened and certain of your purpose.
