Period of Achievement
And
finally, there is a "period of achievement."
It
is here that learning is consolidated.
Now
what was seen as merely shadows before become solid gains, to be
counted on in all "emergencies" as well as tranquil times.
Indeed,
the tranquility is their result—the outcome of
- honest
learning,
- consistency
of thought and
- full
transfer.
This
is the stage of real peace, for here is Heaven's state fully reflected.
From
here the way to Heaven is open and easy.
In
fact, it is here.
Who
would "go" anywhere, if peace of mind is already complete?
And
who would seek to change tranquility for something more desirable?
What
could be more desirable than this?

This is the
journey’s end. We have referred to it as the real world.
Chap
26 The Borderland
The
real world is attained simply by the complete forgiveness of the
old, the world you see without forgiveness... For
forgiveness literally transforms vision, and lets you see the
real world reaching quietly and gently across chaos, and removing
all illusions which had twisted your perception, and fixed it
on the past.... From the forgiven world, the Son of God is lifted
easily into his home.
Chap 17 the Forgiven World
This is the
question everyone must ask. Certainly peace seems to be impossible.
Yet the Word of God promises other things that seem impossible,
as well as this. His Word has promised peace.
How
is peace possible in this world?
