Peacemakers

Peacemakers: 

not even Christian and I'm drawn to the Beatitudes, especially the directive of peacemaking, that this responsibility falls solely upon ourselves to see the world only through the eyes of love. It's here that we find the role of faith reversed, we are asked to do nothing that is beyond our capabilities and Jesus believes in us so deeply as to declare that this is our one true function. 

blessed are the peacemakers.

we are the children of God, each of us, and that's central to forgiveness. What we're asked to do is beyond the illusion of appearance, to touch upon the formless soul that resides within us all, and to invoke this presence to bear light upon the world. This is the essence of offering the salutation Namaste, seeing the divinity within others and acting from that recognition. We make peace through continuous forgiveness, remaining solely within our ever present innocence and meeting all others here as well.

seeing each as children of God...through all our distressing disguises.

the philosopher Spinoza declared that peace is not the absence of war, but a virtue, a state of mind arrived through its continuous practice. We practice peace - and every moment, situation, and event gives us ample opportunity. This also eliminates our every complaint. Our only responsibility is peace and that doesn't lie in the outer world but always within us, being every present, and right now, whatever occurs, is our call to remember this. To think of as a practice eases any burden - we're not meant to always have a perfect response, but only to correct a single faulty one...however often needed. 

so in truth, we don't make peace, 

we just practice being who we truly are.

continuously.
