One of my primary role models during the
traveling angel years (1990-2010) was Peace Pilgrim (1908-1981), who simplified
her life and began her pilgrimage in 1953, walking more than 25,000 miles across and around the
United States, spreading her message: "This is the way of peace: Overcome
evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love." During the
last years of her life, she had to accept transportation rather than walk
because she had speaking engagements all over the country. And that's how she
died--in a traffic accident. I am presenting here a few of my favorite words of
Peace Pilgrim. [FYI: I didn’t walk, and I prefer to use “Divine” instead of “God.”]
God
is a creative force, a motivating power, an overall intelligence, an
ever-present, all-pervading spirit—which binds everything in the universe
together and gives life to everything.
The
motive, if you are to find inner peace, must be an outgoing motive. Service, of
course, service. Giving, not getting. The secret of life is being of service. Forget
yourself, and concentrate on being of service as much as you can in this world,
and then, having lost your lower self in a cause greater than yourself, you
will find your higher self: your real self.
Serve as much as you can. Do as
much as possible to help others, for in this world you are given as you give.
I
always have a feeling of awe and wonder at what God can do—using me as an
instrument. When you become a channel
through which God works, there are no more limitations, because God does the
work through you. You are merely the
instrument, and what God can do is unlimited.
Live
to give, instead of to get. In this
world you are given as you give. You
must give if you want to receive. Let the center of your being be one of
giving, giving, giving. You can’t give
too much, and you will discover you cannot give without receiving. This kind of
living is not reserved for the saints, but is available for little people like
you and me—if we reach out to give to everybody.
No
one is truly free who is still attached to material things, or to places, or to
people. There is a well-worn road which
is pleasing to the senses and gratifies worldly desire, but leads to
nowhere. And there is the less traveled
path, which requires purifications and relinquishments, but results in untold
spiritual blessings. You have free will
as to whether you will begin the spiritual growing up. The beginning of it is the time when you feel
completely willing, without any reservations, to leave the self-centered life.
Anger-energy
should not be suppressed, which could hurt you inside, nor expressed, which
could hurt you inside and cause difficulties in your surroundings. It should be
transformed by using it for a task that needs to be done or a beneficial form
of exercise. There’s something to that
old saying that hate injures the hater, not the hated. Tremendous energy comes with anger. Do not
suppress it; that would hurt you inside. Do not express it; this would not only
hurt you inside, it would cause ripples in your surroundings. What you do is transform it. You somehow use
that tremendous energy constructively on a task that needs to be done, or in a
beneficial form of exercise. As you use the energy constructively, you lose the
anger habit.
The
medicine this sick world needs is love. When love fills your life, all
limitations are gone. If we fear nothing and radiate love, we can expect good
things to come.
When
you look at things emotionally, you will not see them clearly; when you
perceive things spiritually, you will understand.
Meet
every situation with love, and you will be able to handle it. Every experience
is what you make it, and it serves a higher purpose. It might inspire you, it
might educate you, or it might come to give you a chance to be of service in
some way. No problem ever comes to you that does not have a purpose in your
life, that cannot contribute to your inner growth. Problems are opportunities
in disguise. If you did not face problems, you would just drift through
life. It is through solving problems in
accordance with the highest light we have that inner growth is attained.
Worry
is not concern. Worry is useless mulling over of things we cannot change. Remember the power of thought, and think only
about the best that could happen. Dwell
only upon the good things you want to see happen. Remember, through thought you create your
inner conditions and help to create the conditions around you.
Only
those who are attached to God alone are truly free. The most important part of prayer is what we feel, not what we
say. We spend a great deal of time
telling God what we think should be done, and not enough time waiting in the
stillness for God to tell us what to do.
When
you have completely surrendered to God’s will, the way seems easy and joyous.
It is only before you have completely surrendered that the way seems difficult.
Note:
These are only a few words of Peace Pilgrim. An Internet search will reveal
much more, including a book or two about her life of service.
We are the Angel-Light Team—a collective of beings on mission to

instrument through the kindness and generosity of others. You may want to support our multifaceted
