I could see peace instead of this. Peace of mind is an internal matter. It must begin with your own thoughts, and then extend outward. It is from your peace of mind that a peaceful perception of the world arises.
From Elena:
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself than you have built against it. It is not necessery to seek for what is true, but it is necessary to seek for what is false {and peel it ...out}." (T-16.IV)
This exercise requires complete honesty with oneself. If you are not aware of any unloving thoughts (anger, hurt, anxiety, guilt, grievances, depression, sacrifice, and etc) the idea of seeing peace instead of them does not have any meaning. You have to get in touch with these thoughts in order to let go of them and to heal your mind. You don’t need to go too deep inside to find one of these monsters.
