Peace is known only by experience and so one has to be Peace in order to experience it. Peace, the absence of mental stress or anxiety, can not be bought at a price, because Peace (of mind) is priceless! What has yet to be understood is, because Peace is a gift from God for the mind, it, Peace, is priceless and so is Life. What is of God can not be bought at a price and all the money in the world wouldn't even come close!
Contrary to what many believe, it's the mind that controls the body, of which is unfunctional on its own, without the brain; not the other way around. "Well," you might say, "what about if/when someone is fighting a cold (that has gone on for weeks!) aren't they more susceptible to fall into a depression? Or "what about those that have lost a limb (either in an accident or to survive and/or save a life?") "Is it not the change in the condition of the body that affects the mind?" The answer is an absolute, No. It's the thoughts about the condition of the body that effects the mind. This explains "be careful what you think because your thoughts run your life." (Proverbs 4:23)
Because you have forgotten who you are, a Spiritual/formless being, briefly occupying a temporary physical body (form,) you believe you are your body. This very way of thinking is the underlying cause of all the hate, hurt, anger, fear shown every evening on the news. You've forgotten that Peace can only be experienced in the Present moment considering Peace is a state of being. Because Peace is of the mind (thoughts,) they either free or imprison the mind. Choose to be the Peace you pray every day and night for! How? By not giving anymore energy to the already negative and toxic energy that seems to be suffocating the human population.
Western Society, in particular, is lost in believing how one looks (on the outside) is what matters and yes, that too explains "stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly." (John 7:24) The correct way to judge is to not judge at all but give all doubts, questions, fears, concerns, worries, etc., over to the Holy Spirit, by being still, for only then will the answer be correct and given freely. The answer is always the same. It always was and it will always be. The answer is always Love.
Until it is recognized and understood that we, the human race, are not the body, what we look like, and/or seem to be (different from one another by either race, religion, political party, sexual preference, gender, age, etc.,) Pain and Suffering are to be expected because our origin is the same (Human) and that too will never change. Do not let thoughts cost you what no money in the world can buy and that which you are born with and no one can take from you. Peace
