Peace: Element 3

The Spiritual Periodic Table of the Elements

Written by the Cat-scribe Ptahhotep. From a lost copy of “the Maxims of Wisdom.” The illustration is an unusually fine late medieval painting, probably executed in the Cistercian Abbey of Le Thoronet. The original version on earth was destroyed during the French Revolution.

Peace

Spiritual element 3

After Divine Love and Wisdom, The Peace of God arrives within all Being. This is the first and greatest gift of Love and Wisdom.

Peace is reassurance and companionship. It allows rest in the midst of activity, serenity in the face of trial, and equanimity in the resolution of opposing forces. Above all it creates a state of receptivity, preparing the rest of creation which follows to receive the All and Everything of what is called, by the Buddhists of earth, the Dharma.
