Can inner peace be found in the mind or must we go to the spirit? Maybe this has been debated for centuries. I have always been rather proud of my mind. I can even recall having said that "it thinks well". Thinking ahead has saved me from many catastrophes in life and I've held on to the idea that my mind will remain sharp even when my body corrodes. Of course, this is illusion. Or DElusion, depending on how you look at it.

I used to think that therapy was our  modern day confessional. I went, I talked about my problems and I talked about other people's problems as I saw them. As I thought about them. I can even say that my therapist has been a great influence on my life because she is wise. But I cannot find peace in my mind. My mind never stops thinking and creating stories. My mind can only separate me from others because it seeks to be special and to be noticed. There is just no peace there.

It isn't that I've "found God". After all, I, of all people, have known too many that have "found God". Finding god or even goddess at some point outside of yourself will never bring peace. Finding peace through the messages of angels or spirits will never bring peace. The quiet inside of me is becoming known. Its beyond my mind and exists as it will always exist without form, time or space. I am spirit, I am divine, I am peace. As you are. We are not separate. So I say for today......peace.
