Q: What does Peace look like?. A: When I talk about Peace, I’m always speaking in absolutes: total and complete Harmony, with nothing to oppose it. It can only happen in the now. You cannot accumulate it or protect it. You can only decide, NOW: my mind is void of harm.

RT @SayItValencia: 'Trying' isn’t necessary. Bypassing isn’t necessary. Only willingness - to let Love take control. Then you don’t strive….

Sometimes you think everyone is asleep in their beds, but no, love is still awake, laughing and playing outside. I blessed them as I walked by. Beautiful inspiration.

I was walking slowly around my neighborhood when I heard a woman laugh. When I looked up, I saw her hijab dancing in the wind as she kicked a soccer ball with joy. Her husband stood before her, both cheerleader and goalie, every move of his tuned to her delight. Made me happy.

RT @GnothiSea: When we turn the mind inwards, God manifests as the inner consciousness. Ramana Maharshi.

It was never about gaining material riches for me, but about gathering the tools needed to live this life peacefully first: love, forgiveness, and knowing my true nature in God. Now I can carry them through the rest of my days.

Peace is. Now.

*See 'soul betrayal' as a simple expression, a way to map a painful feeling. In Truth, you can’t betray Love. The ego can obscure it, yes, but obscuration never means absence. There’s nothing you can do to mess this up. You can't betray what you fundamentally Are.

It's like soul betrayal, not believing that at your core, you're truly Love. "I'll appear this way and it will mean I have it (this tone, spiritual authority, this light. ) I'll reign over my brothers, I'm at the top.". No. Bliss doesn't look like this at all.

You can't wear anyone's spiritual wisdom like a costume, thinking it will make you gain something in the world, that's just another delay - not speaking directly to God, to Love, not being Spirit. Be You.

'Trying' isn’t necessary. Bypassing isn’t necessary. Only willingness - to let Love take control. Then you don’t strive for perfection, .you allow His perfection to shine through. Surrender. That's the key.

It's not a matter of perfection, 'trying to be spiritually perfect,' but surrendering. Completely. Once you surrender, all there's left to extend is His Love, and His Love is excellent. Perfect. At that point the ego has already left the stage.

'Valencia, you've lost your mind!'. Good.

'But how?'. Drop every narrative right now. On the spot. Dare to do it. (This is for those who want quick. Simple. The wrestling will come from the ego though, not Love.).

'But how am I going to live? Poor? Impoverished? Everyone is going to mock me? Think I’m naive?'. No. Rich in Spirit. At rest in His Love as your love - continually. Seeing not shadows and projections, but your freedom, paradise, His creations, innocence, perfection. His logic.

How do I say this condensed, as clearly and truthfully as I can, without scaring you?. God is. Love - nothing else. You are cherished beyond measure. He loves you. But you can only know this if you choose Love fully, giving nothing, not even 0.01%, to anything else.

Love is complete. Not becoming, not waiting - it is the Alpha and Omega. All there is. Already done. Here. Eternal. Unchanging. It waits for you to see it.

Love always wins. It already has.

Community. I'm ready.

Whoever I'm talking to, I want my mind and heart at rest. Whatever I'm doing, I'm at rest within. Incredible harmony. All the Harmony He offers, because I'm not saying yes to anything else. You understand more than you think. Now keep going. Talk to Him.
