Meditation for Peace

God is the only real presence and the only real power.

God is fully present at every point of existence.

God works through man, who is part of the Divine Expression.

God works through all men indiscriminately, and in His sight there are no distinctions of nationality or party, and no frontiers.

Therefore there can be no strife.

With One God there can be only one plan, God's perfect plan, and all men are part of that; so each has his own place in the Divine Scheme, and there can be no competition or strife.

God is all in all, and in Him all men live and move and have their being in perfect harmony and Love.

Emmet Fox
"Alter Your Life"

There is a simple test by which you can tell a true teacher from a false one.

It is this: If they point you to their own personality; if they make special claims for themselves; if they say that they have received any special privileges from God that are not equally accessible to the whole human race anywhere; if they attempt in their own name or in that of an organization to establish under any pretense a monopoly of the truth about God, then, however imposing their credentials, however pleasing their personality may be, they are a false teacher, and you had better have nothing to do with them.

If, on the contrary, they tell you to look away from themselves, to seek the Presence of God in your own heart, and to use books, lectures, and churches only as a means to that one end, then, however humble their efforts may be, however lacking their own demonstration may seem, they are nevertheless a true teacher and are giving you the Bread of Life.
Alter Your Life ~ Emmet Fox - 1933

There is one quality which pre-eminently distinguishes the man of Truth from the man of self, and that is humility. To be not only free from vanity, stubbornness and egotism, but to regard one's own opinions as of no value, this indeed is true humility.
THE WAY OF PEACE BY JAMES ALLEN (1907)

Alter Your Life by Emmet Fox

In 1932 Emmet Fox gave a lecture.

Of the Great Seal of the United States on coins the said:

"Of the obverse, metaphysically the olive branch stands for affirmations, the arrows for denial."

"Of the reverse, the unfinished pyramid, 13 steps, capstone not yet lowered into place and the ancient all seeing eye". All symbols of our relation to God.

The single eye Jesus spoke of " When the eye is single the whole body is full of light.".

The single eye stands for the Allness of God.

"When an individual or nation puts God first, it will be healthy, and prosperous.".

A new one dollar bill of paper containing these symbols was circulated after this lecture.

Elsewhere he states that since 1914 the end of the world had been forecast by doomsayers. Occasional groups had actually stayed up all night waiting for the end.

Nothing happened.

He also talks of the Zodiac and the bible (we're currently in Aquarius[2150 years of the Christ consciousness] the 12 lessons of mankind.

He even has a prayer for world peace.
