Dear Deb,

I would be honored to have you include in your blog
The Symptoms of Inner Peace  with the additional writings. 
Thank you for wanting to share them in this way. 
And, no, so far, I don't have a website of any kind, but I am getting close. 
It has been a wonderful experience  "meeting" people who do have
sites and  who have posted "Symptoms," and  the desire to create
one has been growing in me. 
Currently, I have a few priorities for my time before I can get to the site,
but I look forward to the day when I have one, and I
will certainly be happy to let you know!

Saskia

The Symptoms of Inner Peace

Be on the lookout for symptoms of inner peace. The hearts of a
great many have already been exposed to inner peace and it is
possible that people everywhere could come down with it in
epidemic proportions.
This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now,
been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world.

Some signs and symptoms of inner peace:

* A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than
on fears based on past experiences.

* An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.

* A loss of interest in judging other people.

* A loss of interest in judging self.

* A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.

* A loss of interest in conflict.

* A loss of the ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom.)

* Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.

* Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.

* Frequent attacks of smiling.

* An increasing tendency to let things happen rather
than make them happen.

* An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others
as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.
 
WARNING:
If you have some or all of the above symptoms,
please be advised that your condition of inner peace may
be so far advanced as to not be curable.
If you are exposed to anyone exhibiting any of these symptoms,
remain exposed only at your own risk.

History of The Symptoms of Inner Peace

The Symptoms of Inner Peace was written for a newsletter when I was
the Director of the Northwest Center For Attitudinal Healing. We were
providing peer support groups for people with life-threatening and
chronic illnesses and their family members.

May all the blessings that arise from the ground of Inner Peace be yours.
Sincerely,
Saskia Davis

Saskia's comment to an individual  who is on a spiritual path.
March 2007

As the author of the Symptoms of Inner Peace, I want to say
that it has been my experience that there are times in some of
our lives when we are growing spiritually, and things can
feel out of control, even good things like Inner Peace.
At those times, I have found there are a few things that are helpful:

(1) To find someone to walk with, metaphorically speaking,
someone who can either relate to what you are going through,
or if not, at least someone who will not judge you in a negative
way or develop fear. This might be a friend or a spiritual teacher
or even a spiritually oriented therapist, someone whose path you respect.

(2) Another thing that is really essential is physical work.
Work helps us to ground our new experience of self in the physical world.

(3) And, finally, a sense of curiosity and patience is required,
because when we are in the middle of transformation, sometimes
it is pretty difficult to see who we are becoming; and it takes a while
before it all begins to make sense. Meantime, curiosity can help keep
us out of fear and judgement against ourselves.

Good luck to you,
Saskia

Text: The Meaning of Life in 700 Words - by Story Waters

You are amazing. You are the creation of yourself. You are that which creates. You are the choice to experience existence – beingness. The only limit to what you can be is your self-belief and your imagination. To be born into this reality is to enter a wonderful, shared illusion that grants you complete free-will in the creation of your own personal reality; this is your creatorship. Within the illusion we believe that we are looking at a separate, objective world where we experience self and other; beneath this apparent separation we are unified; we are one.

Reality is a mirror of your being. You are creation exploring itself in a space-time mirror. Through what you choose to believe you create your reality. You change your reality by changing your beliefs about both it and yourself. The eyes with which you look actually shape what you see (this is now shown in quantum physics). Perception is not passive; it is an act of creation. Your choice of perception forms not only how you experience yourself, but your entire reality. Awakening to your creatorship leads your experience of reality to become more fluid and direct. This is to enter conscious creatorship where what you desire is quickly manifest.

The key to conscious creatorship is the allowance of change; the birthing of the unknown into the known. The basis of allowance is acceptance. To change your reality you must first accept it. As long as you reject what you do not like about your reality you are in denial of your creatorship, leaving you feeling stuck. To accept that you are choosing your reality, release attachment to any preconception of how life should be and instead love what is. This comes through the taking of complete responsibility for every element of your reality. This is to love your choice. It is to love yourself. You are the choice of yourself.

Release your fear. Fear is fear of the unknown, fear of being limitless. Fear creates limitation. There is a natural, beautiful unfolding to life that can only arise when you let go of the control that arises through fear. To face your fear is to allow yourself to be vulnerable and put down the shields you have used to protect yourself. All shields are a representation of a belief in danger and therefore lead you to the very danger you want them to protect you from. Whilst you are barricaded behind shields (fear) you will never truly feel safe. All that blocks you in life is the manifestation of your fear. The discovery of freedom is the realization that the only force pushing against you is you. You hold the key to any cage you may be in. To cease to judge and control your own being is to release struggle and enter joyful, effortless creation.

You are awakening to your creatorship and the nature of the illusion. This is a natural process and requires no more than fearlessly being yourself. This means opening and following your heart. This is your freedom: believe whatever your heart feels to believe. This is to live in the Now. It is to awaken to the equality of all beingness and release judgment of both yourself and the world. Ever changing truth is the reflection of the ever unfolding birth of beingness that is life. In this state there is no such thing as ‘The Truth’. There is no need of an answer for there is no problem. Just be. There are no limits to what you can be; you are infinite. The joy of this life arises through completely allowing your own being.

Within your heart is a dream. The meaning of life is to live that dream. You can only live that dream if you believe you can. Believe in your dream. You are free to be whatever it is you wish to be. You are an embodiment of all creation. The answer to every question you can conceive is within you, for you are both the creator and perceiver of all you experience. Allow your beingness to blossom without limitation or control and you will experience the limitless love and freedom that you are.

Sharing ~ Story Waters

I borrowed this info from the Meet Story Waters
area of his web site.
He has an enchanting and easy going style about him......

Story Waters is a spiritual author seeking to empower people to
experience the light within their own being. “The light to follow is the
light within yourself.” Through his writing he empowers people to
connect with, trust in, and follow their own spirit above any
external person, organization, religion, or dogma. He inspires people
to develop their own inner voice and to love and completely accept
their own being without limitation.

Story has adopted the term 'limitlessness' to describe the state
of being where spirit naturally resides. So rather than encouraging
readers to become 'other than they are' he empowers them
to realize 'All That They Already Are' through freeing the self
from the limited beliefs that it may have taken on in forms such
as fear, shame, guilt, and lack of self-worth. In Story's eyes
everyone is a uniquely special expression of God and he feels
that if we must name a purpose to life then it is to step into
the power of that realization, live in the love that is our being,
and to share that joy with the world. By simultaneously
experiencing our unity as well as our individuality, Story sees
the world transforming into a Unified Diversity where love is seen
as the natural state that occurs when we let go of fear.

Story was born in England in 1972. After studying
Clinical Psychology for five years he left university one year
short of obtaining his Doctorate knowing that it was not his path.
He started channeling his wider-self at the age of twenty,
developing a powerful connection to his spirit in limitlessness.
Though Story still channels he no longer sees it as a separate,
distinct state, but rather as an integral intuitive sixth sense
as important as seeing or hearing.
