Institute for Individual and World Peace

A Moment of Peace from John Morton, Spiritual Director, Institute for Individual and World Peace. "Even when we do our part, there's a point at which we let go. We realize that, regardless of outcome, we did what we could do at the time. We let go of thoughts that things should have been different, and we let God reveal the good in what is present. It is important to recognize and acknowledge the divine source and find value in what we experience."

"We want peace. God will answer that prayer. How much does it take? Enough is enough. Would you be willing to give all the peace that you have? If I'm not in peace and my friend here is in peace, and he's willing to give the peace to me, he may have to keep giving it in order for me to realize the peace. Living in peace takes great conviction and dedication." ~ John Morton, Spiritual Director of IIWP

"Spirit brings peace through your loving. Focus on loving, and you will discover peace." ~ John Roger, Founder & Spiritual Advisor, IIWP

From John Morton, Spiritual Director of IIWP: "When the worldly causes come whirling around and whipping about, we can choose to allow them to pass through us because there's nothing to take issue with. Peace is present. In making this choice, we begin to transcend the law of cause and effect and to suspend ourselves from being caught up in causes of opposition.... - John Morton, Spiritual Director, Institute for Individual and World Peace

"After years of piling up debt, the freedom that comes with the choice to let go can enable us to see the blessings of wealth that are already present. Letting go of judgments about lack and about being perceived as incapable or a failure can allow for our true wealth to be known to us. Every situation is a perfect teacher about loving our lives. Our challenge is to let go of negative fantasies that just end up limiting what can be changed for the better." John Morton... Spiritual Director, Institute for Individual and World Peace See more
