As difficult as it can be to find genuine inner calm, it is the key to creating peace in the world as we know it. The world will not change until we do, and there is nothing the world can deliver to us that will give us the peace we crave. Peace comes not from the world, but from God.

Our divine perfection - not registered by the physical eye but only by the heart’s knowing - is who we truly are.

And it simply is not there.
