Peace
Pilgrim became one of my role models early in my ministry. I was packing a friend’s books for moving in
early 1990 and was drawn to “Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Times In Her Own Words”
(Copyright 1982 by Friends of Peace Pilgrim).
The friend had two copies of the book and gave me one, commenting that
she had made the connection in her mind that I (as a “traveling angel”) was
following a path like Peace Pilgrim. From 1953 to 1981, when died in an
automobile accident, Peace Pilgrim served as an ambassador for peace across the
USA. She spent many years walking with just the clothes on her back. However,
as she became a much-admired-and-sought-after speaker around the country, she
had to begin accepting rides. She died in an automobile accident. At the time of her death, Peace Pilgrim was
crossing the country for the seventh time.
I
came across a document of my favorite Peace Pilgrim words recently (with which
I resonate, obviously), and I will share them here.
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.
I always have a feeling of awe and wonder at what God can do—using me as an instrument. I believe that anyone who is fully surrendered to God’s will can be used gloriously—and will really know some things—and will probably be called self-righteous. You’re called self-righteous if you are self-centered enough to think you know everything—but you may also be called self-righteous [or told you have a big ego] by the immature if you are God-centered enough to really know some thing.
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.
God’s guidance can only be known from within.
Real intuition is a spiritual receiving through the Divine nature, but I realize that psychic receiving is sometimes referred to as intuition.
Spiritual truth should not be sold, lest the seller be injured spiritually. You lose any spiritual contact the moment you commercialize it.
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.
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.
No one is truly free who is still attached to material things, or to places, or to people.
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.
When you approach others in judgment, they will be on the defensive. When you are able to approach them in a kindly, loving manner without judgment, they will tend to judge themselves and be transformed.
When you look at things emotionally, you will not see them clearly; when you perceive things spiritually, you will understand.
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.
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.
Pure love is a willingness to give, without a thought of receiving anything in return.
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.
There is never really anything to be discouraged about, because difficulties are opportunities for inner growth, and the greater the difficulty, the greater the opportunity for growth.
Worry is not concern. Worry is useless mulling over of things we cannot change.
Many people who say they have financial problems really mean that they want more than they need.
Financial problems come to teach us that our concentration should not be on material things, but spiritual things.
When you have spiritual security, you have no more feeling of need for material security.
Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens. If you have them, you have to take care of them.
People have had to make up for their spiritual impoverishment by accumulating material things. When spiritual blessings come, material things seem unimportant. But spiritual blessings do not come until we desire them and relinquish desire for material things. As long as we desire material things, this is all we receive, and we remain spiritually impoverished.
Some people seem to think that a life dedicated to simplicity and service is austere and joyless, but they do not know the freedom of simplicity.
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.
Meet every situation with love, and you will be able to handle it.
. . . 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.
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.
Remember where it [in The Holy Bible] says there shall be prophecies and they shall fail? Why is it? Because all you can predict is the trend of things. You can never say what the outcome will be, because we are constantly able to turn that prediction in another direction, in a positive direction if we get together on that.
