Knowledge, peace of mind and joy are available to you now. Anything real that has been obtained by religious leaders or spiritual gurus is also obtainable to you. In fact, knowledge, peace of mind and joy are not so much obtained as they are realized and remembered. All knowledge resides within you now. Nothing that is given to one is withheld from another. God does not play favorites. God’s love for you is in no way diminished by your perception that you are less than you are. God loves all, equally and always.

Love is all you are, it is your foundation. People are taught, and have the perception that they must build on their foundation to experience peace of mind, success and joy. How and what you build on your foundation is up to you, it is your free will. However, if you simply extend what you are, you will create more beauty than anything that could or has ever been built. My brother and sister, your base, your foundation, is perfect and you need not add or subtract anything from perfection.

There are many paths you may choose to take in order to realize knowledge, peace of mind and joy in the present moment. The journey will be as complicated as you choose to make it, or as easy as you allow it to be. You may choose one path now, or you may choose to follow several different paths at the same time. Look within, and move towards those paths that offer you peace of mind and joy, and are in alignment with your present values. Do not concern yourself with the paths others may be trying to force upon you, or what others say is the correct, proper, truthful or acceptable way to grow. Within your heart there lies a memory of your trueself. It is this memory you search for, and it is this memory you will someday remember. My brother and sister, all truth lies within you. You may have temporarily forgotten this, but you have now chosen to remember.
