How Is Peace Possible in This World?

4

Peace is impossible to those who look on war.

Peace is inevitable to those who offer peace.

How easily, then, is your judgment of the world escaped!

It is not the world that makes peace seem impossible. It is the world you see that is impossible.

Yet has God's Judgment on this distorted world redeemed it and made it fit to welcome peace, and peace descends on it in joyous answer.

Peace now belongs here because a Thought of God has entered.

What else but a Thought of God turns hell to Heaven merely by being what It is?

The earth bows down before Its gracious Presence, and It leans down in answer to raise it up again.

Now is the question different. It is no longer,

"Can peace be possible in this world?"

But instead,

"Is it not impossible that peace be absent here?"
 

If you choose to see the body, you behold a world of separation, unrelated things, and happenings that make no sense at all. This one appears and disappears in death; that one is doomed to suffering and loss. Salvation is undoing of all this. ACIM Chap 31 Recognizing the Spirit

It is impossible the Son of God be merely driven by events outside of him. It is impossible that the happenings that come to him were not his choice...No accident nor chance is possible within the universe as God created it, outside of which is nothing. ACIM Chap 21 Responsibility for Sight

This is the only thing that you need do for vision, happiness, release from pain...all to be given you. Say only this: “I AM responsible for what I see. I chose the feelings I experience, and I decided on the goal I would achieve. And everything that seems to happen to me I asked for, and received as I had asked.” ACIM Chap 21 - Responsibility for Sight
