God said:
If you want peace, peace in your personal life, then make peace within yourself. When you are feeling intensely tense, it is your tension. This and that may be assaulting your mind and impacting you, yet your mind is confronting you with something within you. Your mind, at such times, is not presenting you with love. In flashing red lights with a loud siren, your mind is saying to you: "Alert, alert, alert, problem in front of you. Big problem in front of you."
When your mind says Alert! Alert! Alert!, your mind is saying: "Tense up! Tense up! Tense up!" Your mind is telling you, "Danger ahead! Danger ahead! Danger ahead!" And so, your mind tells you to watch out for what is outside you. Your mind doesn't want you to accept what you are bringing to the table.
I keeping saying your mind, and, yet, who is it that invites your mind to parry the real issues that are, ultimately, yours? Yes, you are. Of course, there are degrees of this. If someone holds a gun on you, there is not too much inner work you can fit in at the moment. The threat is right there outside you. And yet, and yet, no matter how innocent you may be, this is your responsibility now. For the sake of argument, let us skip that sort of emergency and talk about patterns of response that you are quick to choose and are of your making, these little triggers from outside that set you off.
