Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”
'in Me' you may have peace ... where is this 'in Me'? Is it a fleeting mood, a fickle thought, an opinion, a guess, a physical location, something in an assumed future, a childhood memory?
'In the world you will have tribulation' ... certainly; what is the world? Is the world circumstances, or our attitude? Like little children, know your words and don't be afraid to ask: 'ask and ye shall receive'.
Truth is an activity in our own consciousness; truth is not the 'right' answer, but knowing beyond doubt, knowing beyond our conditioned thinking mind; intuitively, effortlessly.
