“The peace of mind which the advanced teachers of God experience is largely due to their perfect honesty. (M12)”
Affirmation: “May I have peace of mind by my honesty.”
Reflections:
Perfect honesty, as explained later on at this point, really means “consistency.” We don’t say or do anything that contradicts the love that is in our hearts. We therefore do not know conflict, but instead perfect peace of mind.
Are all of us advanced teachers of God? Not yet, but we are destined to become that, once we have gone through the workbook, as well as studied carefully the other parts of the Course. We will know the peace of mind that is reserved for those who have walked the full pathway.
This is a glorious promise, one of the best in the Course. Surely we will do our part to bring about this Heaven on earth of peace of mind. No one can ask more of us, and Jesus assures us elsewhere that it is easy. We may find this hard to believe, even after years of studying the Course, but easy it can become for us when we turn to the Holy Spirit for all of our answers.
Prayer:
Dear Father/Mother,
I long for peace of mind above all other joys. And I recognize that it is joy that this peace gives to me.
May I be perfectly consistent in my thoughts and behavior, and may I realize that this is what honesty actually entails. Please stay by me.
Amen.
