Volume One
Chapter Eight — The Gift of Wisdom
June: Peace
1. The soul is serene and offers this gift to the character, as an offering prior to consumption when it becomes a way of life. The same can be said of all twelve strands of wisdom, but none as important as the one for the month of June, which is peace. Peace is the opposite of conflict, and war is an extreme form of conflict. War is always a possibility with ego-led characters. Conflict can get violent rapidly among individuals or groups and can become violent slowly over time with entire nations of individuals. The gift of peace is the manifestation of serenity, which is an internal quality of the soul. Peace is an external quality when the soul has consumed the form it is operating. The body becomes incapable of acting on the ego's violent and aggressive tendencies.
2. Soul-driven characters are peaceful and not involved in conflict. The same cannot be said about ego-driven characters who are soul emergent. Walking away from an argument or fight means that steps were taken towards an argument or a fight. But souls only love, so they would not have engaged in the precursors. Souls don't feel like there is anything to defend, because love does not need to be defended. Everything else stems from the ego and the illusionary identity of being solely human, where property ownership and philosophical beliefs need protection. Having internal serenity and external peace are both gifts that lead to longevity as a human. Both are priceless.
3. Guidelines:
Readers should delve directly into the "Gift of Wisdom" after completing all of the "Steps to Authenticity." Simply find the appropriate starting date on the calendar and begin there. Each month of affirmations centers around the theme and each theme is an aspect of wisdom. At the conclusion of this second year, the gift of wisdom will be yours. These exercises will facilitate soul growth by quieting the mind and retraining it to be in service to the soul and not strictly to the ego. Godspeed to all those who tread these waters to refine their authentic selves into shimmering gems.
