There is a short time between lives when you rest and when you take stock of what you have learned and where you are. But true peace is within you now. And if you do not realize it, it is not because peace does not exist. It is because you have closed yourselves off from peace, and joy springs out of peace. Joy cannot come from unease and dissatisfaction. You will not find peace after this unless you know peace within yourselves now. The kingdom of peace is not on some planet, not four blocks down and three blocks across, not a million light years away and miraculously will you find it. The kingdom of peace is within each of you now and if you realize this, then indeed you dwell in peace and from peace comes your security and confidence and joy.

There is no end. This does not mean that there is no peace, for peace is within you now. If you would but realize it, it is within you. It is closer to you than breath. It is closer to you than your own pulse. It is as close to you as air.

You are co-creators. What you call God is the sum of all consciousness and yet the whole is more than the sum of its parts. God is more than the sum of all personalities, and yet all personalities is what He is. There is constant creation, but peace is to be found in creation. There is a force within you that allows you to breathe. There is a force within you that knew how to grow you from a fetus to a grown adult. This force is part of the innate knowledge within all consciousness and it is a part of the God within you.

Now, Ruburt and I banter, we banter back and forth and I am a rare one and he is a rare one, but all of this is based on spiritual understanding and on peace, and joy do you have. You may cough. Have a good one. Do you have any idea of the energy it takes for me to speak to you in terms like this or the degree of manipulation which Ruburt needs and I need? For indeed I have no wish to burst his lungs apart. Yet I tell you that this bit of energy is minute and nothing in comparison to the energy that is within each of you now and that you are not using. The energy that you are not using and the abilities that are yours.

[...] If you believe there is no peace in your world, in your private world, there will be none. If you want peace you must insert the belief in it and then your experience will justify it.

You cannot say to yourself twenty times a day “There is no peace,’’ and at the same time expect to find some, with any possibility of achieving anything but conflict. [...] Keep your cherished beliefs in conflict, but you will not find peace.

[...] Some paint living portraits of themselves in peaceful times and places. [...]

[...] You can be surrounded by some noise (as Seth, Jane pointed to the ceiling; someone was moving into the apartment above us) or traffic, and feel its great synthesis with the vitality of life, and it can be conducive to peace. [...]

When every young man refuses to go to war you will have peace. As long as twenty men insist on fighting a war you will not have peace. As long as you fight for gain and greed you will not have peace. As long as one person commits violence for the sake of peace you will have war. [...]

You cannot pay lip service to peace while you are violent. [...]

[...] To refrain from argument while simultaneously and deliberately forcing thoughts or pictures of peace, represents a positive action. The intensity of the peaceful images or thoughts unfortunately rarely match the intensity of the bitterness, you see. Thoughts of reconciliation or peace actually and practically do their bit to destroy the causes of war. [...]

[...] When this realm is peaceful there are no wars. [...]

[...] To desire peace strongly is to help achieve it. [...]

[...] The approach should not be fear of war but love of peace; not fear of poor health but concentration upon the enjoyment of good health; not fear of poverty, but concentration upon the unlimited supplies available on your earth.

[...] Beauty, love, peace, and abundance are mine. [...]

[...] She is relaxed and at peace, poised, balanced, serene, and calm. [...]

[...] She is now open and receptive to the healing currents which are flowing through her like a river, restoring her to perfect health, harmony, and peace.

(All distortions and ugly images are now washed away by the infinite ocean of love and peace flowing through her, and it is so.

[...] And when I come pussyfooting into this room, it is also to remind you that there is peace within you—expect it and look for it—it is there. And peace is not a dead thing. Peace rings with the vitality of the universe. [...]

[...] I give you then all the peace and joy that you can hold. But you cannot hold peace and joy like a stone in your hand. [...]

[...] So lo—your joy and peace—and let it be with you in the old ways of these days, realizing that these days are always—and yet that there are more days than these, and other times and other places. And so peace and joy be with you in all days. [...]

[...] Use them in peace and joy. [...] Peace to you and forget your demons. [...]

[...] Peace can be excitement but turmoil can, now, be dull. Do not equate turmoil with excitement and peace with turmoil for these are also conventional habits of thought that do not necessarily apply. [...]

Realize that peace—you may use the word quiet—peace or quiet can also be exhilarating and that outward motion need not be, it may be. [...]

[...] There are instead most beneficial groups in this country and abroad, who actually, actively, yet peacefully join together to work for worldwide nuclear disarmament, and also to tackle such questions as nuclear waste. [...]

Again, the end does not justify the means — so no amount of war is ever going to produce a meaningful peace.

I bid you a fond early evening, and accelerate those forces that quicken your peace of body and mind, and release the healing processes.

(To Ned.) Behind me, this fellow behind the rocker, you mark my words and guard your vitality and the love you have of life and of your wife and of your child and the new life you see beginning in him and do not let the other emotions destroy your peace of mind. Now, peace is not a dull thing. Peace does not mean a sober face and dull thoughts. Peace is truly joyful and exhilarating and it can be as good and better than any trip, so if you are going to trip, then trip through the good green grasses that grow in the sod. And trip also through your own vitality and through the bright green forests that grow in your own mind and derive your strength and peace from these. [...]

[...] Peace—now you may all take a break. [...]

[...] The father’s shell will feel pushed out initially, but then will find peace and contentment, for it is passive, and has been pushed to exhaustion. [...]

[...] What is left will enjoy the sunlight and green grass, and be peaceful. [...]

[...] Betts and Loren must help others, for they cannot find peace within themselves otherwise.

[...] They are not developed enough to have peace within themselves. [...]

What peace! Yet in the peace, what power! [...]

[...] When the volcano itself, ceaselessly erupting, wishes for peace, the spirit of the first island thinks of its own quiet home shores. [...]

[...] I will go to your land and prove it, and you can stay here and partake of the joys of my peaceful existence — and, I hope, learn the value of austerity.”

So the spirit of Island Four journeys to that other reality, where all kinds of life swarm over shore and mountain, and the spirit of the third island visits a world of such peace that all motion seems stilled.

[...] So accept your feelings and then send your thoughts of peace. Actively wish peace for the person involved. [...]

[...] Send, then, thoughts of peace towards the person involved, that their problems may be solved. [...]

([Mark:] “Peace be with you.”)

[...] Now, peace. [...]

This civilization, therefore, left the natives that surrounded them in peace. They did send out members of their own group, however, to live with the natives and intermarry, hoping peacefully to thus alter the physiology of the species.

[...] With them, the desire for peace was almost what you would call an instinct. [...]

[...] But because their purpose was so single-minded — the avoidance of violence — rather, say, than the constructive peaceful development of creative potential, their experience was highly one-sided. [...]

The idea of being at peace in the present is vital. [...]

[...] Those who believe in peace will find it, and a world in which peace reigns. [...]

[...] I have a symphony on the radio; am typing James—which is so good—and feel peaceful. [...]

[...] Young people in particular are needed to work for the promotion of peace and nuclear disarmament, to take up the tasks of deregulating and redistributing food sources, and of encouraging nations to join in such a creative venture. [...]

Once again, I activate those coordinates that promote your own peace of body and mind, and quicken the healing processes — and I bid you a fond good early evening.

[...] These physical changes will make your life more peaceful and set you both at peace in various ways.

[...] In view of the subject matter that did develop, rather to our surprise, let me note that since late last week President Carter, President Anwar Sadat of Egypt, and Israel’s Prime Minister Begin have been meeting at Camp David in pursuit of peace for the Middle East. The conference has been called crucial to peace in our time, etc. [...]
