The separation never occurred.40. Our thoughts are all that can hurt us.41. Remember that the Holy Spirit, the Voice, is the Answer, not the question.42. The Holy Spirit will take what the ego makes and transform it into a learning opportunity.43. The ego was made without love. The Holy Spirit knows only love.44. Our willingness to join with others reduces our fear and gives inner peace a chance—the peace that will eventually change this planet.45. As egos, we see only what we want to see.46. Christ's vision allows everyone who is willing to see others without judgment.47. The Holy Spirit translates the laws of God.48. To have peace we must teach it. Only then do we learn it.49. God did not leave us comfortless even though we “chose” to leave Him and our home in Heaven.50. No call to God will ever be unheard or unanswered.51. We do not walk alone. God's angels are hovering all around us, now and forever.52. You will be told what God wills for you each time there is a choice to make. Go in peace from this moment on.Concluding ThoughtsAcknowledgments
