PEACE — How Is It Achieved in the World?
As we begin this message, let us do so in unity—remembering that God is one of many names used for the Source of All Being. Names are not what matter. What matters is the peace we hold and the focus we choose within our hearts.
Let us come into remembrance and alignment with our living connection to Source, so that peace may be restored upon Earth and across all life.
To Bask in Peace
I awoke this morning with a deep sorrow in my heart, which I perceived as the sorrow of Lady Liberty—a symbolic and spiritual embodiment of freedom and refuge. She carries the essence of liberty and has long served as a beacon of hope: first within the harbor of the United States, and also in France, which is why the statue was gifted in the first place.
In this vision, I saw the inscription at her base beginning to soften and melt:
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…”
These words speak of our ancestors—the immigrants who founded this nation. They fled oppression, religious persecution, and the ravages of war in search of freedom and peace. They arrived poor, uncertain, and hopeful, as all who leave behind everything they know in order to begin anew.
The Teaching of Peace
Yeshua was asked:
“Master, which is the great commandment in the law?”
He replied:
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.”
“And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
(Matthew 22:36–40)
Years ago, I was shown in spirit that where we place our attention, intent, and focus—our mind—will ultimately guide our heart. When we place our focus outside ourselves, we hand over our creative power to whatever we are reacting to.
When, instead, we align inwardly with our I AM Presence—the living flame of Source within us—we are guided not by fear or scarcity, but by the highest possible good for all.
From this alignment, we need not fear lack. The resources of creation are not limited. When guided by the heart aligned with Source, there is sufficiency for all.
This is what Lady Liberty and the Flame of Freedom truly represent.
Yeshua also taught:
“Seek first the kingdom of God…” (Matthew 6:33)
And clarified:
“The Kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21)
Peace is not found somewhere distant. It begins within.
When the heart—aligned to truth—guides the mind, the mind fulfills its proper role: caring for daily life and protecting the body, not ruling through fear or control.
As Matthew wrote:
“If your eye is single, your whole body will be full of light.”
Love in Action
The second commandment—love your neighbor as yourself—is not abstract. Yeshua made it unmistakably practical:
“What you do to the least of these, you do unto me.” (Matthew 25)
Compassion, hospitality, care for the vulnerable—these are not optional virtues. They are direct expressions of divine love in action.
So what does all of this have to do with peace in the world?
The Song That Remembers
All morning, a simple refrain echoed in my heart:
Let there be peace on earth… and let it begin with me.
This beloved song, written by Jill Jackson and Sy Miller, carries a truth older than any melody: peace does not begin with governments, borders, or institutions—it begins with the inner alignment of each soul.
Peace Begins Within
Peace begins when we remember who we are.
When we align with our I AM Presence—our Soul, our Oversoul, our living flame within the Oneness of Creation—truth, compassion, and wise action naturally arise.
This does not mean ignoring injustice. It means responding from clarity rather than reaction. From this alignment, we are guided toward the right action for the moment: writing, speaking, prayer, service, peaceful protest, offering refuge, or simply standing as a calm presence.
Humanity is diverse by design. Creation chose to explore itself through infinite forms and experiences. Though we appear different, we are one life expressing itself in many ways.
As Yeshua prayed:
“Not my will, but Thy will be done.”
Not the will of ego, fear, or exclusion—but the will of universal Oneness, for the benefit of all.
A Time of Transition
There will be changes as institutions built on control and separation fall away, making room for those rooted in unity and care.
The Earth herself is also evolving. Lady Gaia does not wish to harm or distress her children, yet transformation is underway. When we become channels of peace, love, and coherence, we ease these transitions for all life—human, animal, plant, and elemental alike.
Do not fear. When aligned, you will be guided—step by step—toward what to do, where to go, and how to serve.
Remembrance
Remember: you are not separate from Creation.
What you think, feel, and choose matters.
Ask yourself gently:
What is my “god” in this moment?
Does it bring peace to the whole?
A Closing Blessing
Lady Liberty, we thank you for your long service as a beacon of hope.
May we now serve alongside you—
by aligning with the light within ourselves
and allowing peace and true freedom
to remember themselves through us.
May peace remember itself through us.
