For the Peacemakers, Blessed be | Steve Beckow

What would world peace look like?

Immediately, upon asking the question, I’m filled with peace.

If I were telepathic, I could flash you an experience of it and you might say, “Wow, I’ve never experienced a state of wellbeing and security as profound as that. That’s wonderful.”

Most of us may not have experienced it – or if we did we may have passed it off. I certainly was totally unaware of what “peace” was before I found myself in it one day. (1)

And before I go there, I feel the need to differentiate between a feeling and a divine state. A feeling is experienced as happening within us. We’re immersed in a divine state.

As with all divine states, there are no words to describe it. What we end up doing is describing how we feel when in a divine state like peace.

In this state of peace, I feel absolutely safe. Inexplicably so because the world is erupting around us.

I feel safe and there’s no reason for it. Nothing tangible or material can explain it. Paul called it the peace that passeth understanding. And it is.

Once again I see that I can breathe peace up from my heart.  Add that to the list of divine states that one can do that with.

The safety I feel in peace is different than the safety I feel in love. This safety feels like granite, not soft and gentle.

If I were to be as peaceful, say, as Gandhi, I think I’d feel immovable. It would allow me to visit British Viceroy and harijan (the excluded of society) and feel comfortable either place. It’d be quite clear to me that home is wherever I am.

I can’t believe how palpable peace is. Unlike bliss, which lifts me up, peace grounds me.  But grounds me for what? War? Aggression? Rule by force?

I don’t want to risk trying those states of consciousness on for fear I’ll lose this peace!

Zen masters have shown that peace is compatible with defending oneself. But there are clear limits to the space we can be in and still also be at peace. And I don’t want to explore them now, I’m so thrilled to be re-experiencing this state.

Bliss just arose with my last breath but even it could not stir me from this peace.

I’m going to associate this peace with the Father.  But it’s more than just stillness, more than just emptiness. It’s a solid foundation from which to come into the world and reduce the temperature of events, call a halt to fighting, or negotiate in good faith to bring an end to hostilities.

I’m a lightworker. I’m not here to quickly ascend and away I go. I have a job to do.

Bringing peace to the world is not a task set out for me, but for the peacemakers, blessed be.
