At the Erasmus Foundation, the Spiritual Teaching and Healing Centre based in Laxfield, Suffolk, Great Britain, which I discovered while living in England and continue to attend through zoom meetings, we once had a lecture called “P. E. A. C. E.” offered to us by a Spirit whom we know as Catherine, from Home, through our medium.
This lecture, among others published in the book New Horizons, by Ruscora Publishing, explains that humans search everywhere for peace while they actually have it inside themselves, in their own spiritual mind.
In her talk, Catherine takes the letters of the word “PEACE” and she suggests: “Should we apply something to each of them? Should we say that -p- stands for patience, -e- for endeavour, -a- for acceptance, -c- for concern and -e- for the absolute ecstasy which fills the being when all of these have been achieved?” And she then develops each within her talk.

Now, today, according to what I witness around me, I can see that acceptance is a very difficult step to achieve, especially with the multiple crises we are now facing with wars, earthquakes registered with incredible tremors, drought affecting more and more countries due to global warming causing famines in more and more areas across the world; economic difficulties with runaway inflation; and the development of illnesses with the emergence of new viruses. Life on Earth is incredibly difficult indeed.
While watching recent events on TV, seeing people suffering through war, earthquakes and tornadoes, often destroying people, their homes and their towns, a question occurred to me “Is the unbearable acceptable? How can one find acceptance living with such disasters?” Of course, the first reaction is emotional; still we can witness some being very resilient while many blame God among those who have lost dear ones, as well as their living environment and livelihood.
I am not sure of all the reasons why people blame God, but perhaps if they have followed the precepts of their religion well, attending the church they might belong to, or their mosque, or their synagogue, or whatever, doing well their prayers, perhaps they believe that nothing too bad should happen to them? And when a big difficulty or test arises in life, they are but lost, perhaps having not got the spiritual knowledge that could help them understand the meaning or purpose of a difficult time in life? Perhaps having been told that punishment is for sinners, or whatever name is used, they then ask “Lord, what have I done to cause you to send me such hardship?” and they might blame Him because they do not believe that they deserve this, and do not understand why God allows such tragedies to occur on Earth. Now, thinking of it, we can wonder if perhaps some of the tragedies that take place at present on Earth could be rather due to Mankind’s behaviour, which does not respect the Natural Law in so many fields?
Now, in the light of our spiritual teachings, at the Erasmus Foundation, we know firstly that this Earth is a University of life, a place where we, as a Spirit, come to learn and go through experiences -and some of them can be very, very painful- to help the process of our spiritual evolution. We have been told, and I agree by experience, that pain is a spiritual elevator and is necessary to help us change and develop spiritually. Very, very difficult, yes, but there lies the reason why we come here, because those painful experiences, sometimes seen with the eyes of Earth as unbearable, we cannot go through them at Home, our true Home, where Spirits live, which is a peacefully ordered place.
So, a Spirit at Home needing to evolve in that way goes to the special place where Spirits go when they want to live a life on Earth for the reason of their evolution, and there they are shown by an older Spirit some Tapestries of life, they are as blueprints. And, very important to note, the Spirit chooses the Tapestry they want to live. They can see on this predestined frame of life the main events of that life, the birth and parents living in a particular country with a particular social background; the tests are already there as well and the Spirit knows, at that time, if it suits them according to their strength and their desire or need to evolve. A life that is too easy would not be worth living and, knowing well their abilities, a Spirit would not choose a life that is too difficult either; so they choose the life that is just matching with them at that time.
Now, at the time of birth, when the Spirit enters that little baby’s body who breathes for the first time, all that is forgotten, the spiritual memory is enclosed in the physical shape as a closed memory box in the mind.
In this light, perhaps people could come to understand that the difficulties and tests they are living are firstly not a punishment put on them and they could get rid of any feeling of guilt, they could then start to feel better about themselves, and see the trials rather as spiritual elevators that they have chosen themselves when they signed for that Tapestry of life. Yes, it is not easy to accept at first sight and it takes time to get to that point, a very long hard time seen with Earthly eyes, but deep inside we know this to be true because it is the Natural Law and we are completely part of that Law even if our brains have become so physically developed whereas our minds are sometimes so well enclosed and almost forgotten. Also, pain does not last forever, we have times of happiness and joy, for the Tapestries offered to us by the Great Mind have balance in their frame.

Now, for those who return Home, it is the end of their Tapestry, they die of the Earth, be it of illness, accident, murder, battle, violence, natural events or even suicide, it is their key to return Home. This too was predestined on the Tapestry they chose before coming to the Earth. Therefore, if on the one hand they have accepted their own death as a means to return Home and on the other hand we know that the “Homecoming” is a very happy event for a Spirit returning Home, should we not try to accept it too? Yes, this as well might be difficult and take some time and endeavour, but is not time here to be well used?
Spirit tells us, when a tragedy occurs on Earth bringing great sadness, that it is understandable when people feel anger, which is human. I am sure that the Great Mind and Spirit have great concern for us, they know that all this is part of the process of growing, and then with time, meaning patience, with positive efforts, meaning endeavour, perhaps people can one day find acceptance and concern leading to PEACE; and when people are at peace with themselves they can be at peace with others.
Also, something important to mention here is that Mankind has some freedoms of choice on their tapestries, not all is predestined, and when people of the Earth might understand they have got a responsibility and accept their responsibility for many things done that were and are still perhaps in error and against the Natural Law, they could then start to put things in the correct way and put them right as they should be, and this is something that we are told will happen, a good reason to have faith in men’s and women’s abilities to adapt and turn to the right direction.
At present, Mankind is going through the storms of the end of this 5th civilisation, a particularly difficult time to live on Earth, an experience that will be ours forever, for eternity, offering us here great opportunities to evolve and perhaps prompting us to search for Peace in the right place; and that is inside us.
