Lesson 346: Today The Peace of God Envelops Me, And I Forget All Things Except His Love.

What if peace isn’t something you learn, but something you remember the moment you set down your mental clutter? We open a clear path to calm by practicing “sacred forgetting”—letting grievances, control, and fear fade so love can take its natural place. The invitation is gentle and practical: breathe in love, exhale peace, and let miracles quietly reorder your perception until time seems to step aside.

Across this conversation, we explore how peace dawns when you stop adding and start releasing. You’ll hear how a single judgment about someone becomes an opportunity for blessing, why love’s “law” gives without loss, and how small acts of willingness create big shifts in how the day feels. We map out a five‑minute morning alignment—imagining a field of light that recognizes peace in everyone you meet—and an evening wind‑down that watches thoughts turn luminous without getting pulled in. Along the way, we examine those “foolish toys” of control and ambition, noticing how quickly serenity rises when they’re named and set aside.

This is a story of perception gently reorganized. Miracles aren’t fireworks; they’re subtle correctives that return you to the simplicity of heaven within any circumstance. By blessing anyone who crosses your mind, you forget the stale script about them and remember what’s true in them and in you. The result is a lived sense of timelessness—ordinary moments touched by a calm certainty that doesn’t depend on outcomes. If you’ve been craving stillness that isn’t brittle, confidence that isn’t loud, and love that doesn’t keep score, this guide is for you.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who could use some quiet, and leave a review to help others find this space. Then try the practices today and tell us: what grievance did you trade for peace?

Opening Prayer And Theme

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Aloha, this is lesson 346 from a course in miracles with Hope Johnson. Today the peace of God envelops me, and I forget all things except his love. Father, I wake today with miracles correcting my perception of all things, and so begins the day I share with you as I will share eternity, for time has stepped aside today. I do not seek the things of time, and so I will not look upon them. What I seek today transcends all laws of time and things perceived in time. I would forget all things except your love. I would abide in you, and know no laws except your law of love, and I would find the peace which you created for your son, forgetting all the foolish toys I made as I behold your glory as my own. And when the evening comes today, we will remember nothing but the peace of God, for we will learn today what peace is ours when we forget all things except God's love. And that concludes the text lesson three hundred forty six. Today the peace of God envelops me, and I forget all things except his love. Ah holy simplicity,

Peace Through Sacred Forgetting

SPEAKER_00 2:02

simply letting all of our distractions fall away until only peace remains in the present. Peace is remembrance. See that? So peace dawns on your mind not through adding anything, but through forgetting. I forget all things except his love, God's love. Letting every false pursuit in the world fade. This is what allows the remembrance of love. It's not erasing your memory, it's allowing your awareness to rise above illusion to the truth. I forget all things except his love. You can perceive his love, remember his love. This is how you perceive it, because it's reflected right back to you. Remember his love within all things, within all beings, within all things, within all circumstances. It says, I wake today with miracles correcting my perception of all things. That's part of the prayer. Miracles correct our perception. So we're able to experience peace in the midst of all things. A miracle gently reorganizes our vision, reorders things for us. It shifts from this perceiving of fear's distortion to the simplicity of heaven, to experiencing the simplicity of heaven, of love within any perception. You're willing to see through illusions, the clarity of miracles just shines right through you. Time has stepped aside today. Another quote from the text.

Miracles Reorder Perception

SPEAKER_00 5:28

This is how you enter the timeless instant. Peace and eternity are the same exact conditions. They're changeless. So here in dreaming, eternity is expressed as peace in the world. Part of the prayer, I would abide in you and know no laws except your law of love. That's because love gives without loss. It joins without any effort. And it knows no opposite. I abide in you, capital Y, God. I abide in you, God. God's law of love is constant. Your willingness may not be constant yet. That's why there's this practice. I would abide in you and know no laws except your law of love. You're going to do this. Everyone's going to do

Living By The Law Of Love

SPEAKER_00 7:00

this if you're not already. To live by this law of love is just simply to rest in certainty that transcends all circumstance. That's what it is. Doesn't mean you have to go into a cave and keep your eyes closed forever. Forgetting those foolish toys that it talks about in the text. That's releasing attachments that seem meaningful to you. Control, ambition, fear. You recognize them as playthings of a mind that sleeps. As these things are laid aside, seen as foolish toys. This is like, for instance, a thought that comes up, and she shouldn't have done something like that. There's a foolish toy. As these are laid aside, peace rises. It's like it makes a vacuum, and peace rises within that. Takes the place of grievances. So it's like you fill your mind with peace instead of grievances. It's like an it's kind of like an exchange. Here, take this grievance, I'll take peace instead. So we're forgetting all things except God's love today and letting peace envelop us completely. Again, breathe this in. Remembering love on the in breath. And exhaling peace. Yeah, we can change it up every day if we want. Uh whatever works for you. Mm-hmm. So for the

Releasing Foolish Toys And Grievances

SPEAKER_00 9:20

alignment in the AM upon rising, five minutes will be sufficient. You can do it as long as you want. Imagine a light surrounding you. Not like a shield, but a field of recognition. Everything you meet is already here within this peace. And let me see peace. Ask to see peace, only peace today. When distractions or worries come up. Remember, time is stepped aside. Only love is here. There's nothing but love. Let yourself expand in that stillness. Notice your expansion in your body's energy field. It may be centered at the heart. Just recognize the flow, the energy in the body's energy field. That'll show you. It's a signal. It's giving off signals. At the day's end, notice how it feels when you lay down and you watch. Thoughts about the day probably coming up, maybe what you're going to do tomorrow, and just watch. Notice this is noise. What remains when that stuff is forgotten? Let your mind be quiet no matter what kind of disruptions you notice in the body's energy field. They'll calm down as you breathe.

Breath, Presence, And Energy Awareness

SPEAKER_00 11:20

Don't need to strive for this. Let yourself recognize the peace rise in you. There's a part in the text where it says, When the evening comes, I remember nothing but the peace of God. So feel that. Feel the day dissolve into this awareness. Where memory just becomes luminous. It's like, oh, there's just memory passing by. It's luminous. It's not something to fight. Notice the effects in the body's energy field. Notice how much power you have. Peace isn't something you earn or learn. You can't learn how to be peaceful. It's something that's revealed when all the other goals of the world fall away from your mind. You can say this is sacred forgetting. It's not careless as the ego would have you believe. To forget illusions is to remember reality. You know, it's like when your mind lands on another individual, let's say, in the world, notice what it does. What does it do? Where does it go with that? Does it worry? Does it seek to control something? You know, just watching. And then that allows any time anyone crosses your mind to be blessed by you. Because, and basically that's being blessed by God, because it's God's blessing that you're extending. That's the only blessing that can be extended. When anyone touches your mind, you notice anyone touches your mind, be sure to extend the blessing. And really, that's forgetting everything that's speaking, all these, all this memory that's speaking about them. It's forgetting, and that's how the blessing extends to them.

Evening Practice And Luminous Memory

SPEAKER_00 13:40

And that's really a blessing to you because as we've been learning in these lessons and through these lessons, there's no one but you. That thought seeming to be about that person is perfect for bringing exactly the healing that you need in the moment. So when you're not seeking these things in time, time steps aside, and you actually enter eternity with that person, inviting all of the sonship to join you there. You're remembering eternity, and that's shining through a peaceful mind. Today, the peace of God envelops me. I forget all things except His love twice today, and whenever it's needed, have a beautiful remembrance. I love you. A hooe ho!
