Inner Peace
Commentary by Peter Shepherd

“To achieve inner peace, we need to change our primary awareness from what is going on in our mind, with all its beliefs, fears and worries, to what is going on deep within us, with special reference to what we are feeling in our heart, and follow where this takes us.” ~ Wallace Huey
Wallace further explains, “As we practice this, our fear-based thinking mind - which was who we thought we were - will gradually dissolve and lose its power. Our love-based, heartfelt guidance will expand as the primary determinant of our behavior. As we do this our sense of identity will become less defined, more flexible and increasingly fluid. This is a transition that we will embrace with joy.”
“The practice of patience guards us against losing our presence of mind. It enables us to remain undisturbed, even when the situation is really difficult. It gives us a certain amount of inner peace, which allows us some self-control, so that we can choose to respond to situations in an appropriate and compassionate manner, rather than being driven by our disturbing emotions.” ~ Dalai Lama
Mindfulness is key to the ongoing evolution of humanity and the Dalai Lama teaches this practice well.

“All minds are joined. Therefore, all healing is self-healing. Our inner peace will, of itself, pass to others once we accept it for ourselves.” ~ Gerald G. Jampolsky
The world will never be peaceful to a soul not at peace. But if you’re happy in what you’re doing, and if you practice forgiveness, you’ll like yourself, you’ll have inner peace. In stillness you discover silence. In silence, peace.
“By being more self-aware, by responding rather than reacting, we can feel more inner peace and at the same time have more integrity - start to really be ourselves rather than meeting others’ expectations.” ~ Peter Shepherd
Inner peace comes about as you deepen your sense of surrender. Then your feeling life begins to blossom. Where before you may have ‘figured things out,’ now you feel what needs to happen.

“Never speak out of anger, never act out of fear, never choose from impatience, but wait... and peace will appear.” ~ Guy Finley
Inner peace is already there awaiting us, in our being, in our soul.
