Finding Peace

Nothing lasts forever—not good times or bad.  Remember this when you are joyous or distraught.  Why?  Because joy and despair are merely opposite experiences along a spectrum you call human life.  If you can recognize that these changing states are reflections of your humanness, then you can recognize that there is another aspect of yourself.

Picture three points of a triangle.  Place joy at one point, perhaps the lower right, and despair at the opposite point on the left, and another point between the two but high above.  That point represents the place of peace.  Now cast a three dimensional sphere around that upper point.  It encompasses both the joy and the despair and all points in between and around.  That sphere represents the possibilities of all human experience which are yours to enjoy or not to enjoy.When you are ready for some peace, return to that upper point of the triangle, which you can see now is also the very center of the sphere.  It is there at the center of you.  So now we must modify our initial statement in light of this new understanding.  Nothing lasts forever in the human experience except the eternal point of peace at the center … which is the center of Consciousness … the eternal I AM.
