Finding Peace

Peace can be defined as a state of harmony and absence of hostility. Peace within is the same concept but within your inner-self.  It’s a feeling of contentment and faith in something beyond life here on earth.  Living with the knowledge that through God, anything is possible.  There is more to living than just surviving. There is a reason for being on this earth.

Simply put we are dual beings, co-existing in one body.  The spiritual being and the physical being. The spiritual part of us is our connection to God, our energy force, our subconscious link to our “real home”. Our spirit is in constant contact with the other side.  It is the part that keeps our hearts beating, our lungs pumping and our minds thinking. It’s our battery. Then there is the physical body, which is the house in which our spirit lives. To be able to live here on earth and have a connection to our surroundings we have to have a physical body. How can you feel textures, such as wood, fabric or the skin of a loved one without a physical body? It is the spirits avenue to connect, to feel, smell, touch and hear.  Once our body dies, the heart will stop beating, we will cease to exist on earth in the physical form.  However our spirit continues to exist. Flowing with the energy that God created us in. We are pure energy spiritual beings with a constant connection to God, because without God there is no energy then there would be nothing.  We would not exist.  We cannot exist without Gods energy.

To know and understand this means you have peace within.  All of us living on earth were once spiritual beings wanting to learn and grow.  Life in our “true home” is very perfect and glorious, but our natural curiosities do not diminish just because we are not human.  As spirits we want to grow spiritually. Spiritual growth lessons are like college courses, we choose what we want to learn and it could be anything from learning humility, compassion, struggle, the list is endless. 

God has given us the opportunity to learn through living on earth.  He also gave us free will.  So any choices we make on earth good and bad, is our own responsibility.  As spirits we know this and understand and appreciate the opportunity for growth. However when we are born into the physical we forget about our spiritual home.  We get lost in the pieces of living and forget about the big puzzle. We get so caught up in asking why we have to learn these lessons that we forgot we were the ones that chose them in the first place.  And the thing about learning lessons, they keep coming into our lives as challenges and keep repeating themselves, until we have learned the lesson.  Like repeating bad relationships over and over. It’s like taking the same test over and over until you get a passing grade.

Once we have learned all we wanted to learn here in the physical, its time to return to our “true home” and take the lessons back with us for our spiritual growth.  Once we return, we as spirits can move up a level in our spiritual way of life. We have knowledge we did not have before and are wiser because of it.

Sometimes though, for some reason, maybe because of someone else’s choice and his freewill, your time gets cut short through and accident or malice on the part of another human being. Or we just got so caught up in life, we didn’t learn.  We got stuck in pain, or struggle and couldn’t see the reason for living. We as spirits can choose to return to a physical body to either learn more or continue the lesson from before. We as spirits have lived many different lives, some more than others.  Trying on different life outfits to see what fits best. Have you ever met someone that seemed to have it all figured out? That person had a calmness and tranquility to them that echoed from them?  They seemed wise beyond their years?  Most likely they are old souls, returning for another lesson, but bringing the lessons from previous lifetimes along with them, tucked into their subconscious along with their spirit.

I am interested in hearing from anyone who wants to tell a spiritual story.  To tell the story, post it here.
