Some Core Stuff
| The following from John MacEnulty's Emanations.net |

"Inner peace is about more than being at peace all the time. It has to do with being able to confront and deal with situations and find the peace in that, satisfaction that we are doing the right things in our lives, being logical, making sense. A big part of that is not falling for the tricks that others may use, finding ways to make us feel wrong in order to win their points, invalidating us on issues other than the one at hand. We all have myriad vulnerabilities, things we have done wrong. When we are able to forgive ourselves then others can't use our mistakes against us. If we know that center within and can act out of that we stand a very good chance of being able to see the misdirected animosity for what it is, irrelevant, and move on in the honesty of our best and most healing and problem solving actions. I watch the world go around, go by. I'm in awe of the human situation, how we misunderstand each other, judge each other, create guilt by association. The sacred place has been misunderstood, assigned a value from neediness and scarcity. The very idea of divine wrath is an oxymoron. That is our perception of a war or an earthquake. Our words justify wars, anger, punishment. We may see them as necessary for love to exist when the truth is the opposite. There is a sweet spot deep within us where everything connects, loves, understands, forgives, boundaries and difference dissolve and we feel the common core. At the core of our being is the pure and inexpressible archetype of love. When we see from that place we see how the words have broken down, failed to communicate the inner essence time and time again. Any truly spiritual path leads us there, and leads from that place back into a world of peace and love, seeing the connectedness through the separations."
