As peace is established in the heart of the individual, ultimately, it will be established in the world: a peace that comes, not by the knowledge of man, nor by the wisdom or power of man, but by the Spirit of God functioning as the consciousness of man.
This illuminating Chapter 11 from The Government of Eden describes a resting from labor. Joel Goldsmith writes, “the movement, the transition from law to grace, is done by you, within your consciousness, at a specific moment.” The moment is one where the peace of awakening descends and becomes a life lived in freedom. The peace described in this compelling chapter is not the peace that we may have expected as it is not the peace the world can give. “When you feel My peace, you will feel it abundantly, permanently, joyously; a peace that passes human understanding.”
"The message of The Infinite Way revealed to me at the beginning that God does not set us free. It is the consciousness of God in us that makes us free. Where the consciousness of the presence of God is not, there is bondage; there is sin, false appetite, disease, lack, limitation, and man’s inhumanity to man. But where the consciousness of God is present—not where God is present—God is omnipresence. Where the consciousness of God is present, there is liberty, freedom, wholeness, completeness."
