In Times of Trouble, Think Peace, Sing Peace, Be Peace

Heaven and the Divine never fail to support us with instructions, if our hearts and minds are open to receive.

Tonight I received a most astonishing message in the form of a song.  I was in Master William and Master Alma's  Thursday evening class, attending remotely.  At the end of their classes they often offer a treasure, like the Crown Chakra blessing, to one of the students in class, chosen at random (by Heaven) as a gift.  Though one precious student was chosen to receive this blessing, I believe that all of us received some level of blessing through this powerful treasure.  It was a huge treasure to re-balance all of the soul houses, or major chakras, in the student's body.

Sitting many many miles away, I experience the wave from that Crown Chakra blessing, and recognized via direct knowing that Guan Yin, known as the goddess of Compassion, was administering this blessing to me.  I could see Guan Yin's pale and slender hand over my head.  Then came the message: Peace I give to you oh Lord.  The message -- delivered as a packet of thoughts -- suddenly unpacked itself as a song. 

I have spend the rest of the night chasing down that song.  It is Peace, sung by the monks of the Weston Priory, Weston, Vermont.

Peace I leave with you, my friends,
peace the world cannot give.
Peace I leave with you, my friends,
so that your joy be ever full.

I do not know exact where I heard that song before.  Perhaps it was in a folk mass, and I have a dim recollection of going to the Weston Priory, but the memory was buried so deep it did not appear again until tonight.

You will find and may order the monks beautiful music here.  I will also add a sample to my website soon, so you can enjoy the rich melody and the words.

What is astonishing me more is that the song is from John 14:26-28 (21st Century King James Version):

26 But the Comforter, who is the Holy Ghost whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, ‘I go away and come again unto you.’ If ye loved Me, ye would rejoice because I said, ‘I go unto the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.


I think there is a message here for many people.  Let us celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, the Christ, by sending forth the message, song and essence of Peace.
