A seed from nature
In the mind of man
Under the ray of light
Sprouts a bush in thought
With bud of one rose
Unfolding natures purpose
Her soft pedals undaunted
As her contemporaries trespass
Reflecting the light of God’s sun
Through her beauty in scent
And splendid tenderness in sight
Nothing to learn she already knows
Given to one in return for one
Balanced to be as it was intended
A course in miracles
As illusions go, this book is not a book. It is an experience; rich in philosophy yet simple in message. The best way to read this book is one “thought” per day. Each two to three pages may require 30 minutes as you read each paragraph twice to add to the fullness of its meaning. You discover your creator in nature, and as well as your place in mankind. Closing each reading with a time for purposeful thought allows for a gradual transformation in how one sees the world. You will remember the passage where the miracle occurred for you in just an instant. You will be forever transformed. Your reward a year later is a profound sense of peace; in knowing it is what it is and nothing more or less.
You will first lose all sense of fear, especially the death of your body. You will find complete confidence in who you are and what your purpose is. You will welcome that who you are is found not in the mirror but in the face of your brother. As you cast the light of your newfound peace, you will find a reflecting spark of light in your brother’s eye, making our journey with mankind a journey of One. All this is found by simply making up your mind to do so.

Inner peace is an interesting idea: is an unconflicted soul a living one?
I belive your soul conflicted or not, is essentially formless but can find a "house" to rent for what we know is a life time of a human.
TJ,
I wrote a book with this as the opening. It was inspired by A Course in Miracles
The following is a quote from the bible, perhaps one of the most contested pieces of literature ever written, by myself included. Amidst the foul behavior of the outward antics of too much in religion is hidden the conscience of “One Man.” You might say outside of religion; in government, business, science, social circles, there are also the same foul traits. Yet in all of us there is good. The question is how to find it, or better said how to see it.
Have a look. If these following words jump off the page and into your heart, if these words open your eyes to the world as it is then simply close the book. You are done. You are a complete and whole person. If there is any margin of doubt I offer you a progressive blooming of thought in the following pages that was inspired in me as I read A Course in Miracles. I recommend you read them as I wrote them; one day at a time. In between each reading meditate on each thought and let love’s flower blossom in your heart. To steel and old phrase, go with God’s speed.
A New Commandment
First Letter of John
Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment
that you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word
you have heard. Yet I am writing you a new commandment that is true
in him and you, because the darkness is passing away and the true
light is already shining. Whoever says "I am in the light", while
hating a brother or sister, is still in the darkness. Whoever loves a
brother or sister lives in the light, and in such a person there is no
cause for stumbling. But whoever hates another believer is in
darkness, walks in darkness, and does not know the way to go, because
the darkness brought him blindness....
Do not love the world or the things of the world. The love of the
Father is not in those who love the world; for all that is in the
world - the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, the pride of
the riches - comes not from the father but from the world. And the
world is passing away, but those who sow the will of God live forever.
