Someone gave this list to me. Don't know where it originated.
In case anyone dreads reading some of my " mary sunshine"
mail, this will help explain my problem recently! *grin*
New Jerusalem Conciousness
Some signs and symtoms of inner peace:
1. Tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than
from fears based on past experience.
2. An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment .
3. Loss of interest in judging other people.
4. Loss of interest in judging self.
5. Loss of interest in interpreting actions of others.
6. Loss of interest in conflict.
7. Loss of abiltiy to worry.
8. Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
9. Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
10. Frequent attacks of smiling through the eyes and heart.
11. Increasing tendency to let things happen rather than try
to *make* them happen.
12. Increased susceptibilty to love extended by others as
well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.
When you start "suffering" from inner peace, it is much easier
to love your neighbor and yourself. *And* to want to help them
"catch" the disease.
Great to see so many people back!
Gentlepersons, let the games begin!:)
In His love,
Elizabeth

Kurt, It depends on what it means to you. I have always loved nature, mountains and sailing, etc. It is God's creation and I feel a part of it. Getting to know people spiritually has helped me really come to know agape love, therefore feeling a connectedness with the others of His kingdom. There may be something in New Age similar to this but so what? Maybe new age people say "I love you". So do I. It doesn't mean I will become warped and one of them. :) ( and Kurt knows this is a friendly reply and *not* a flame) In His love, Elizabeth Return Address......
