Does the sun need to do anything to shine?  No.  Shining is its very nature.  Do you need to do anything to shine?  No, for the Light of God is who you are.  Does the river need to do anything to flow?  No.  Flowing is its nature.  Do you need to do anything to be at peace?  Merely recognize your own qualities as pure stillness filled to overflowing with love and peace.  If you cannot find these, if you are not aware of your Self as pure awareness, then cease looking outward at the distractions around you and see with the eyes of the soul into the soul, wherein dwell the qualities of pure awareness.  I AM can never die.  Only the story changes.  If your story is not brimming with peace, with love, with happiness, then lift the veil, for that is all the story is — a veil that disguises your true nature.  Seek and you shall find what was never lost, only veiled by ignorance.
