Today’s question comes from a Course student named Mark who joins my Text class on Tuesdays.
🎧Click here to hear the audio version.
Here is what he asked:
QUESTION:
“The world looks like it is going to hell. Is peace even possible here? And if it is, is there anything that I can do about it?”
The deeper core of Mark’s question is about hope. It’s about truth.
It’s about how to live and alignment with God’s will when chaos seems to be screaming louder than peace.
Also to be clear, this question isn’t about the world out there. It’s actually about our inner world and how we choose to respond to what we see in the world.
So today I’m going to help you to see why the chaos is here and what it’s trying to show us.
Heaven on Earth is not only possible, but inevitable when we shift the way that we think.
Is Peace Even A Possibility For Earth? How Can I Help?
MY ANSWER:
So Mark’s question again is: the world looks like it’s going to hell. Is peace even possible here? And if so, what is my part?
And yes… it really does look like chaos is everywhere right now.
We see war, division, violence, social collapse, and so much inner turmoil. Fear and blame are running the show.
And if you’ve ever thought, “Are we in hell right now?” you’re actually more correct than you realize.
Because A Course In Miracles teaches us that hell is not a place we go after we die. Hell is a state of mind that you live in when you forget what is real—when you forget who you are, and why you are here.
When we believe we are separate from God and from each other, we fear… and fear becomes our guide.
Fear becomes projected as defense, attack, blame, shame, and hate. And when fear guides instead of love, the outcome will always be hell.
But this is a mindset, my friends.
Hell is a mindset of fear, division, attack, and guilt. It’s the ego’s projection. And the world is reflecting a collective mind that is still trapped in separation.
So we have to start here:
The world looks like hell right now because minds are still consumed with thoughts that come from a hellish perspective.
And undoing that thought system is how peace can be remembered instead.
So, The World Isn’t Falling Apart… But Falling Away?
But here is the miracle.
This hell that we see on earth is not permanent.
The world isn’t even really falling apart. It’s falling away—falling away from old perception, old beliefs, and the false idea that we could be separate from God or from each other.
The illusion is crumbling. The old operating system based on fear, separation, and control is being shaken at its roots.
And this is necessary.
Because what rises from the rubble is Heaven on Earth. Peace on Earth. And this is not a fantasy. It’s not just a pretty spiritual idea. It’s reality.
A Course In Miracles tells us that God’s will is Heaven on Earth—peace on Earth. And what is God’s will is guaranteed.
This chaos is not God’s will. It is the projection of ego consciousness and fear.
But the will of God for you is perfect happiness, not suffering. God’s will is freedom and peace—not war and pain.
If Peace Is A Possibility… What Do I Actually Do?
Here’s the thing:
Peace doesn’t drop from the sky. It emerges through us.
Heaven on Earth is not something we wait for. It’s something we anchor with our minds, our hearts, our thoughts, and our actions every day.
And even though it may seem like a massive task to “save the world,” it’s actually far more simple than it looks… because each of us has a part to play.
Think of it like a puzzle. You don’t have to place every piece.
You just have to place yours.
My Only Job: Mastering the Mind with the Holy Spirit
So what is your part?
Rule your mind.
That’s right. The cause of the chaos we see “out there” is in the mind. And if we get stuck blaming the world, we forget the source.
The world reflects attack thoughts, blame, judgment, hate, and division that have been carried in human consciousness for far too long.
And we won’t change what we’re seeing until we change our minds about what we’re seeing.
My Reacting Is The Thing That Keeps It Going?
So the next step is this:
Stop reacting to the world as it is, and start responding to the voice for God within you.
The ego wants you hopeless, angry, blaming, defending.
But the Holy Spirit whispers:
“Peace. It’s possible here. You are safe. There is another way. Follow my voice.”
So let’s be really clear: You are not here to save the whole world.
You are here to remain stable inside yourself… and be a kind person.
That may sound small, but it’s everything.
To stay grounded in love.
To respond with patience.
To be a safe space in a chaotic world.
To be the light in the darkness.
What Would Love Have Me Do Right Now?
We can’t keep reacting to fear, drama, and headlines.
The world will show you pain, war, and death… but it is asking for love.
So instead of joining the attack, we pause and listen inwardly:
What would you have me do?
I’m open and available.
I’m here to be an anchor of peace.
You are an extension of God’s love. And if He loves all His children, so must we.
So when you feel tempted to judge or withdraw, pause and ask:
How can I show up with love right now?
And love will guide you.
Forgiveness Is How I Stay Free?
And finally, we forgive quickly, completely, and constantly.
Yes, we will slip into mistakes. But we lift ourselves out of attack by letting go of what is not love.
Forgiveness is the miracle. It returns us to the memory that we are all God’s kids. It’s not saying what happened is okay.
It’s saying:
What I thought happened has no power over me anymore.
I will not let evil take my peace.
Peace is a power, and peace will undo fear every time… if we keep choosing it.
Who Would I Be If I Saw The Innocence Instead?
So we are not here to condemn people. We are here for the people.
And as we move through the world, we practice remembering:
- This is a child of God who forgot who they are.
- This is not about pretending behavior is okay.
It’s about refusing to make guilt real in your mind. It’s about overlooking the ego… to see the innocence that still remains.
And it’s time to unlock the power and peace inside of you—not by effort, but by remembering who you are.
By choosing love over fear. By choosing Heaven instead of hell.
Peace Starts Inside My Next Thought?
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being willing.
And remembering this: The peace we want on this planet starts inside our mind.
So moment by moment, we choose peace. We give peace. And in giving peace, we receive it.
This is how we rise.
Not by changing everything in the world… but by changing our mind, and being that kindness when it matters most.
What If I Let God Use Me?
And Mark, I want you to know this:
You are not alone.
We are in this together.
We are rising above the battlefield.
We are forgiving false perceptions.
We are choosing the world we want to see.
This is miracle working.
Choosing love when our physical eyes don’t see it. Choosing peace when everything feels like chaos.
So we ask:
Jesus… God… what would you have me do?
Where would you have me go?
What would you have me say, and to whom?
Use me. Use me.
