For this month, I have been asked to go back to my own beginning, my awakening, some 16 years ago to bring out some of the first material I ever channeled. I was told that it is of particular relevance at this time. There was a period when I would be asked to write a quote or verse across the top of a blank piece of paper, then sit quietly and wait for the information to begin to flow through me. Though these writings didn't make much of an impression on me then, somehow they do now. I offer you this piece for your consideration. May you find something of benefit in it for yourself.

PEACE IS NOT JUST SOMEWHERE WAITING FOR YOU,YOU HAVE TO CREATE IT.
J.B. PRIESTLY

It has often been said that peace is an unattainable goal for the creatures that inhabit this place. I am here to tell you, all of you, that this is not so. The truth of the matter is, you have within you the power to create, the power to manifest all that it is that is bright, all that is good, all that is of the highest value to your immortal soul. You know in your heart of hearts what it is you must do to achieve that final, blissful state of peace. You must decide, on a conscious level, to make it so. You must take the necessary physical-plane actions to ensure that your life, individually, is focused upon that goal; and that you acknowledge your desire to attain it on a daily, even hourly, basis when needed. Allow me to clarify for your understanding what is meant by the word PEACE. Such a state of being is a state of awareness of the interconnectedness of all things, and your acknowledgement that you have a vital role to play in the weaving of the fabric in progress the purpose of which is to clothe the entire Universe in radiant Light. The Light of the Eternal One. The Light of the One which is composed of the Many. You are the Many. Too long have you languished in the Darkness. It is time now to stand up and take your rightful place among the peoples of the heavens. The signs have been posted. You have but to follow them.

Allow your heart to guide you, for it will never lead you astray. Remember that the reason you came to this place was a noble one. Remember that you are a miracle in the making. Remember that each day, through your own efforts, you will be moving one step closed to the place from whence you came, back to the place you long to be. I cannot tell you that it is an easy thing to do. I can tell you, however, that many who watch you in your struggle are amazed at the strength, the determination, exhibited by the valiant souls striving to be free of the shackles of the human form. Long enough have you worn the dirty rags of human foibles. Long enough have you stumbled around wondering what it is you were supposed to be doing. Long enough have you wondered why you were here.

We have come to help you remember why it is you had to take upon yourselves this enormous task. Your brightness would not allow you to turn away from the challenge. There are those of us who did not have the courage to follow your lead. It is only of late that we have developed the strength to come this far to assist you. No longer can we merely sit by and watch. In order for the task to be completed, all of us must work in concert to compose the Celestial music that will at last, finally and forever, bring us together again.

We send you the Love, the Light, and the Hope of the universe. You are the final arbiters. You hold the final decision-making authority in your hands. We cannot influence, for good or not, the outcome of this aeons-old project. Your Will be done. Think it. Live it, and it will be so. Only you hold the capability of such
magnificent manifestation on your plane. The reason you had to remain so long here was that through experiencing this place, you would be able to, when the time was at hand, to bring this place with you when you begin your long return Home. It has begun. We await your safe arrival.
