In his letter
to the group at Phillipi, the Apostle Paul gifted them with a greeting that
invoked the “peace of God that passes all understanding," which gives us some
good things to think about: 1) Peace is a divine quality. 2) Peace is not legislated, not calculated. 3) Peace is not delivered through reason, especially if it is beyond understanding. I agree…with one small deviation. I believe that when inspiration and reason are moving in the same direction, peace can absolutely break out at any time.A Gift of the Spirit...
Peace may naturally be lodged within us as a Gift of the Spirit, and it may appear for no apparent reason at all, but it is not necessarily devoid of reason. Peace is not the cessation of war or the absence of hostilities; it is a part of our being and may appear independent of what external situations may be taking place around us, and I believe that when there is an opening within us, peace appears, which may be accompanied by human reason and understanding, even if this is rare. The more we know about ourselves, the more expectations we can set for ourselves. The more we engage in spiritual practices, the clearer and sharper the track through our mind may be.
Heightened human intelligence...
To enjoy peace does not mean we must be stupidly unaware of what we have operating within us. Heightened human intelligence can only accelerate the mode through which divine qualities come forth. It is true that we may never fully understand how, why or when peace appears to manifest, but we may revel in its magnificent characteristics and recognize how much meaning and latitude a clear mind can give it.
Every day experience...
If we truly understand who we are as spiritual beings living in the world today, we can expect deep and great peace to grace us as a natural, every day experience.
