5-31. All of the comfort you ascribe to material things exists only in your mind. Your desire to acquire would be best used to seek Peace, for that is the only Gift you can give yourself that will never cease to be.
All that is material must disintegrate and dissolve back into the constituent components of base physical reality from which it was first formed and created, for all that is of the world of form is temporary and subject to the vicissitudes of temporality - nothing that is material can last for an indefinite amount of time, for that would be wholly without any value and such a state of sustainment and endurance would run entirely counter to the lessons that material items have to offer. They are all temporary because all that is of form is as that - minor accretions of usefulness that have value, in and of themselves, only with respect to the perspective of what it is can that be learned regarding the nature of form. Form alters continuously and endlessly, for it is but a substrate upon which growth can be effected, albeit to a limited extent when the utility of materiality has been exceeded by the natural transition back to formlessness and a focus upon all that is Eternal is entered into by a soul that desires to know more of what it is to be Loved by God than anything that the world of form can possibly offer or instruct. You are not blessed by God if you find yourself with a great accumulation of material possessions, nor are you derided and denigrated by God if you find yourself destitute and desperately disjoined from the normal levels of apportionment of material resources that your particular society has designated as appropriate or acceptable. That is a great fallacy, and it is one that has befuddled many to the bemusement of some that have recognized that it is representative of nothing at all, for the Love of God is not expressed in form - it is Remembered through the Awakening of a heart that desires to be shown what it was that was seemingly lost so very long ago that it must never have had any existence at all. That is not the Truth of Love, blessed and beautiful Child of God. Love cannot be constricted into any particular formulation, distilled into a singular expression or encapsulated in a method of representation that has any direct relationship to the material world, for that would be an attempt to limit that which is Infinite, and a folly of such great and abiding irrelevance that when it is seen for what it is - a meaningless attempt to define that which is All That Is, there will be no further contemplation of such conjectures, nor will there remain any desire to criticize yourself or others for what you or they believed might be possible, for the wealth of Peace that the Acceptance of the Love of God will entail for you will be so bright, so overwhelming and so amazingly Certain that no explanation of its Nature will ever be required or requested. All that is material is tempting indeed, when a perspective solely based within form is elected as being the final arbiter of all that is real or of any genuine value, for certainly there is much to be ascribed to physical safety and abundant resources that might appear able to assuage the troubled mind, for within high castle walls that safeguard vast larders, direct attack and immediate starvation are offset, for as long as such battlements and resources can be maintained. Yet all of those accumulations of wealth in physical form are but temporary, for they can all be removed, lost, claimed by others or redistributed through countless mechanisms of societal reapportionment. What is attempted to be conscripted into an army to stave off material threats is a belief that death can be defined as having any genuine reality, within a Creation that knows no discontinuity with Love. If physical death is a valid cessation of awareness, then its arrival is to be avoided at all costs, for all that was will no longer be and all that might arrive secondarily to the moment of liberation from this mortal coil remains wholly unknown and unforeseen, and certainly that is a terrifying proposition to any who wish to hold to this world of form as being the ultimate arbiter of anything at all. It is not. That is a fallacy, and it is a meaningless one at that. But that is not at all relevant to any who wish to believe that they are merely forms of consciousness that are created and sustained by bodies alone, for they will fear their eventual removal from this world of form, and they will do all that it is possible for them to do to be certain that their time here will be as pleasant and secure as it is possible for them to achieve. Yet there is another way - a new path that is actually older than time itself, but one that remains hidden and seemingly unachievable from the perspective that holds to the notion that physicality defines consciousness, when the Truth is the exact opposite. Peace cannot be found, recognized, uncovered or discovered through any physical process, for the Peace of God is not predicated upon the arrival or absence of anything at all that is of form. Such would be an attempt to limit that which is Eternal into a containerization of temporality, and that simply has no sustainable or arguable logic whatsoever. The Peace of God is Infinite for there is, in Truth, nothing to fear. Physical ailments and attack are possible. Death is certain. Discontinuity with God is not. That is all that need be accepted for all that is material to loose all of its lustre, for if there is nothing that is of form that can alter your relationship with your Creator, what value can it possibly hold other than to be a set of effective tools to be utilized within the interests of learning what it is to be free of materiality, so that you can Remember what it was that seemed so lost that you turned instead to form as a interpretation of reality that had no genuine value, but one that seemed to suffice for just as long as you wished to believe that you are limited by form, when in Truth, you are just as Infinite as your loving Creator. Peace does not arrive so much as it is remembered as having forever existed within the context and ambit of Love, for there is but an infinite sea of Love that you are both permitted and invited to dive into, one that has no limitations and an ocean of Truth that is so vast that all that was ever considered to be strident or dissociative with your own heart will be gently washed away and forever forgotten, for none of that was Real, and so it has never had any ability to restrict you from recognizing that because you were Created by, for and with Love, that all all that you have ever been, are now, or will ever be. The Peace that can be accessed and enjoyed is already present within your heart. It has not been forgotten, lost, stolen away from you or judged to be a “reward” that you are not worthy of receiving. It is not a possession, a bartering tool or a form of approval that is granted to some but revoked from others. It is ever-present and eternally accessible, but it will not be accepted when other forms of value are used or upheld in its place. It is all that remains once illusion is set aside in favor of the Love of God, and while that appears to be some form of loss to any level of awareness that remains predicated upon and focused within transactional formulations of reality, it is so much more than anything that is limited - it is Love, in Infinite measure, and it is the greatest Gift that God Eternally offers to you. You can give this Love to yourself through a process of acceptance that relinquishes all attachment to anything that is temporary, recognizing it as being but the capricious nature of materiality that has utility but no inherent value. Peace accompanies the acceptance of yourself as the beloved Creation of God, and from such a state of realignment with Truth and with your own True Nature, all that is besetting or beleaguering will be forgotten, for it was but temporary, whereas the Love that is yours to enjoy will never alter in any way at all.
