ANE: Peace of Self

Chapter 2: The Peace of God

The peace of God that Tolle talks about goes something along the lines of this:
You realise your true identity as consciousness itself, rather than what consciousness had identified with. That's the peace of God. The ultimate truth of who you are is not I am this or I am that, but I Am.
What arrogance and conciet! The peace of God that Paul is talking about is that which comes by trusting in God. The trust that is shown when we entrust Him with the things that we are anxious about, because He is capable of acting upon our prayers and does so often. Though more often than not, in ways we cannot fathom.
6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4
