Perception is Everything
There is no truth to anything, and everything is created out of belief. Perception is everything, and most of it occurs in the subconscious mind. There is no need to deny that anything is happening - indeed denial and repression only create more of what one is trying to deny or repress.
The key to using perception to create peace is acceptance of 'What is'. Acceptance is born out of the realization that everything perceived is the physical culmination of all thought energy that has been projected before.
The things that 'happen' are not really fortunate or unfortunate, they are a blessing of physical manifestation that precisely reflect back the states of mind that have been created by consciousness. The opportunity to create peace is in the moment of disturbing thought - where one can feel the emotion that has been evoked by perception, remember that consciousness is responsible for all that IS, and embrace their feeling with silence of thought.
This evokes God Consciousness (ie all encompassing love), which creates a wave of compassion in the body, immediately dissolving one's disturbing feelings. By allowing disturbance to be replaced with compassion, one's energy shifts from projecting for more dis-ease to projecting for love/peace/joy.
With practice and persistence, one begins to notice a more peaceful mind, and the more peaceful the mind becomes, the more peaceful the world becomes. After all the world is only a reflection of mind - there is only one mind - and the mind is not separate from who 'we' are.
My Own Authority
I speak only and always for the one that is my self. I cannot speak for anyone else, and I can only speak for the source through my own perception which is created by my own thought.
I cannot be the authority in anyone's life but my own, and while I don't need you to agree with me, I sincerely appreciate the part you play in the process of my unfolding.
Friends?
I don't want to be friends with you. My primary focus is upon supporting and uplifting my self - the only self I can know from this perspective.
If friendly relations emerge...fantastic! If they don't...fantastic! When they end...fantastic too! In any case, I have nothing but love for the Divine source that my perception of you represents.
Invocation of Presence
For the purpose of this article, "Presence" means conscious overview of the thoughts and feelings being entertained within your awareness. Your physical body can only be focused into a single location at any point in time, and when your Presence is focused there too, experiences are seamlessly digested and your perspective is advanced for the evolution of your world.
The only thing that prevents you from being fully Present is internal conflict which manifests as emotion. Emotion makes your thought based perceptions feel real, and the emotion you are feeling is an indication of how much Presence you are allowing around and between your thoughts.
Specifically, all thought is a patterned mental/emotional response, which leads deeper into unconsciousness in the absence of conscious overview (Presence). Presence directs your awareness toward those thought patterns that feel more closely attuned with your non-emotional yet eternally Joyful essence. In this regard, the closer your thoughts feel to contentment, the more presence you are allowing around thought - while less contentment means you are allowing less presence.
So the question then becomes "how can I feel contentment when I really hate what's happening?" The answer to that question is Acceptance and Appreciation - which “happens” within the remembrance that everything happens for you. That remembrance can be invoked by slow, deep breathing and the consistent allowance of silent space between thoughts.
It's futile to resist thoughts that you think you should not be having, because it's the having of those thoughts that inspires your creativity. Simply allowing Presence around and between thoughts leads your awareness to thought patterns that feel better, while resistance to your thoughts leads in the opposite direction.
Contentment is not a goal that you have to achieve, but the emotional direction in which Presence leads your thinking irrespective of circumstance.
All that you perceive is only a reflection of the feelings that you have allowed to take form through the focus of your thought, and your conscious aspect (Presence) feels like the ultimate bliss/pleasure/joy/comfort - transcending all emotion. Just by looking for things in your perception that please you, and/or imagining what would please you more, you are invoking Presence for the creation of more pleasure in your world.
Conversely, to the degree you are focused on things in your perception that evoke anger, worry, sorrow, desperation, etc. - you are resisting presence and relying instead upon Ego aka fear - which is only capable of offering thoughts that evoke more fearful feelings which are then reflected in your world.
The temptation to be driven by unconscious thought comes in the form of things and people (including yourself) that you don't like, or want to change. Your perception of such things immediately decreases your happy feeling because it shifts more of your awareness away from the moment and into the fear-based Egoic mind.
This is not to say the Egoic mind is a bad thing, or that feeling uncomfortable emotion should be avoided. This is about being aware of how much Presence is being allowed at any given time so that you can navigate your awareness back into alignment with 'who you are' when you're ready.
The more you practice allowing Presence, the easier it will come to you, and your world will evolve in a way that is ever more pleasing from your perspective. Amaze yourself by giving your awareness over to the only aspect of yourself that is capable of creating a world you might describe as "heaven", and exalt your material aspect in this very moment in time.
Experienced yet Innocent
Your story is unique to you, but like you, everyone in the world has judged themselves as being a victim at some point in their life. That self judgment, created through your perception of your experience, formed a belief that you need to be in control - which attached to your awareness through emotion (energy in motion).
Unpleasant emotional energy consumes a portion of your limited awareness as egoic mind endeavors to protect you from the feeling by controlling the specifics of your life. However, ego only knows your own beliefs, thus it consumes much of your precious energy trying to figure Life out from a very limited resource of information.
Every time you perceive that something went “wrong”, which causes you to experience uncomfortable or painful emotion, more judgments are created about the egoic "need" to protect you from people, circumstances and even yourself. In this way, it's natural to feel a greater need for control as you continue to accumulate life experience.
Just imagine if you could return to the innocence you were born with while still having the benefit of your experience for the adjustment of your perception. You can! And it starts with awareness of your perceived need to control anything, deep breath - and letting it go.
As you look for them, you will begin to see the self judgments that caused you to develop the perception that you "need" anything or that things "should" be different - and as you see, you are healed.
* Note: Ego is the master of illusion – it can hold many of your judgments and beliefs hidden beneath emotional layers that can divert your from the truth even as you are sincerely seeking it. If you are inspired to dissolve the trappings of mind, I encourage you to find someone willing and able to be your mirror for the purpose presenting you with what you are not seeing on your own.

The Mirror
Ego is a thinking process that's programmed to maintain your individual sense of self by creating illusion of the judgments you hold about you and projecting them into your outer world. In this way, your world is a presentation composed of people, things, circumstances and events that mirror what ego keeps hidden from awareness.
According to the feeling that you created for your self at the time you judged that you were subject to limitation, that feeling is triggered in you every time the essence of your held judgment manifests in your perception. What you perceive is only a demonstration of your beliefs, and when your awareness is absorbed by your dissonant feelings (instead of in observance of them), self pity prevents you from seeing the message being presented to you - by you - and for your own evolution.
Moreover, every time your judgment is made manifest and you believe the manifestation to be real, you are tempted by mind to create more belief that's logically associated with the underlying judgment - thus compounding your judgment's power of attraction.
Every feeling has meaning, and whatever you feel is a form of the emotion that binds your judgment to your self image for this life experience. When one exercises sufficient presence of mind to experience the feelings evoked by perception while observing the thoughts associated with those feelings, they allow the Light of Awareness/God/Source to burn through layers of delusion until the underlying judgment is also exposed and dissolved.
There is nothing else to do! All limitation is a phantom that dwells in darkness, and once exposed to the Light of your Awareness - it simply dissolves.
