695.0. "Are you infected" by SALES::GKELLER () Wed Apr 06 1988 13:26

    			SYMPTOMS OF INNER PEACE
    			-----------------------
    
    Watch for signs of PEace. The hearts of a great many have already
    been exposed to it, and it seems likely that we could find our society
    experiencing it in epidemic proportions.
    
    Some signs and symptoms of inner peace:
    
    	1)  Tendancey to think and act spontaneously rather than from
    	    fear based on past experiences.
    
    	2)   An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.
    
    	3)   Loss of interest in judjing other people.
    
    	4)   Loss of interest in judging self.
    
    	5)   Loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.
    
    	6)   Loss of interest in conflict.
    
    	7)   Loss of ability to worry (a very serious symptom).
    
    	8)   Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
    
    	9)   Contented feeling of connectedness with others and nature.
    
       	10)  Frequent attacks of smiling through the eyes from the heart.
    
    	11)  Increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make
             things happen.
    
    	12)  Increased suceptibility to Love extended by others as well
             as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.
    
    If you have all or even most of the above symptoms, please be advised
    that your condition may be to far advanced to turn back. If you
    are exposed to anyone exibiting several of these symptoms, remain
    exposed at your own risk. this condition of Inner Peace is likely
    well in its infectuous stage. Be Forewarned.

    I sincerely hope that I, too, can "become infected" with this
    condition. I am doing my best to "expose" myself to others with
    this "disease".

695.2Open To Infection...:-)KRYPTN::GERTZBuTRflysRFreeThu Apr 07 1988 13:3310
    Has anyone seen the movie (it's kinda old) called "What's So Bad
    About Feeling Good?"  It starred Mary Tyler Moore and George Peppard.
    The movie is sometimes shown Sunday afternoons on TV.  It's about a 
    toucan who escapes from a Greek ship and begins to 'infect' the entire
    city of New York with "good feelings."  The chaos that happens is
    unbelievable.  So many people afraid of 'feeling good." 
    
    I hope I become 'exposed' to others with this 'disease' as well...:-)

I had a wonderful meditation the other day, that helped set straight a lot of 
things, and it was about Love.

Outer conflict brought inner conflict to the fore; for a few days, my 
intestines declared warfare on me; people were telling me that I had bags under 
my eyes and looked like I didn't feel well; my psyche was trying to make sense 
out of why I was taking things so hard; I felt self-alienated (as tends to 
happen before a *hard* lesson takes hold and is learned).  I knew that the 
outer conflict was a mirror for something inside, but I couldn't figure out 
what was the message, and my meditations did not come up with any instant 
answer; it took some time and work on the inner planes before the answer came.

My Inner Guide and I met in our usual place; in my mind's eye, he lives in the 
middle of a lush, green pine forest in the mountains (I think there are some 
aspens there, too?) and has soft hay in the "front yard" of his cabin.  He told 
me that today, I would be viewing my Ego in archetype form, although not the 
usual Empress (Libra; my rising sign) form.  We followed "her" the Ego around 
for a while as she dealt in passing with different people, all strangers to me. 
Although there was something that felt good about her, there were definite 
detectable walls and distance.

My guide explained to me that, along the way, because I had trusted in people 
who abused that trust to take what they could of me, I had put up barriers to 
my love, and was now reacting from a standpoint that love had to be earned.  He 
told me to approach the world with love, because (not his words, but mine) love 
is the common denominator in all people, and when I approach people with love, 
or when I let my love be close to the surface instead of burying it deep 
inside, I will see more of the best in people, and more of the best in myself. 
I felt so greatly relieved, and so happy, upon the completion of this 
meditation.  The first place I noticed the change in me was in my sweetheart, 
who himself became more loving, and since that day, we have been as happy as we 
were when we first realized how much we love each other.  Even though there are 
many changes in my life now, not all of which are easy, things have been better 
since I let down the barriers to love.  Love *is* the common denominator!
