“Since we are the living Soul, we stand behind the mind, and if there is a time when we try but cannot meditate, we can gently address our mental state from this altitude of “I and my Father are one.” We can say, “My Peace give I unto you, my mind. Receive God’s grace. My Peace give I unto you, my mind.”
We do this just as we would reassure a little puppy dog, “Peace, peace, lie down, rest, nothing will harm you be at peace.” Then the mind settles down: “Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation,” now are we children of God and the Kingdom of God is within us. We need not fight; we need not struggle, but just be at peace.
Finally, we see that like the little puppy, the mind finally gets the message, becomes quiet and then there is that stillness. When this occurs, we know we have exercised our God-given dominion over our thoughts and our mentality, and our soul is at rest.”
