You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.
Peace can be threatening because peace is the absence of problems and conflict. ...You want peace. There is no one who does not want peace. Yet there is something else in you that wants the drama, wants the conflict.
Can you feel that there is something in you that is at war, something that feels threatened and wants to survive at all cost, that needs drama to assert its IDENTITY as a victorious character within that theatrical production (the scary movie)? Can you feel there is something in you that would rather be right than at peace?

The moment you become aware of the ego in you, it is strictly speaking no longer the ego, but just an old, conditioned mind-pattern. Ego implies unawareness. Awareness and ego cannot coexist. ~E Tolle
