Conference Call #32
Symptoms of Inner Peace

July 24, 2006
Greetings to everyone. I am honored to be with all of you tonight. I want to begin by sharing a quote that I received yesterday. When you enter Spiritual Life Center, where I attend church, there is a basket filled with small rolled up papers with what I call Spiritual Fortunes. Mine read: Blessed are my hands, for they are the hands of God. Take a moment to look at your hands. I see your hands as the healing hands of God. Remember this when you touch your face, and when you touch others. I am grateful to the founder of this Prayer Project, Philip Burley, and to everyone who is participating in Awakening the Sleeping Giant. We all invite you, dear Heavenly Father, to guide us in our upward path, and may we be blessed with good health. Wherever we are, God is, and all is well.
It is with joy that I present "Symptoms of Inner Peace" to you tonight. The following anonymous writing was given to me as part of a booklet of Prayers at the Casa de Dom Ignacio in Brazil where people meet John of God. During an outdoor Sunday service overlooking the pristine countryside, prayers are recited aloud. Individuals request prayers from a thick booklet, and the prayers are read together. What I will read in a moment comes from an extraordinary website, www.holycards.com, where you can purchase cards featuring hundreds of Saints. There is also some beautiful jewelry. I spoke with the founder of this website today and told her about the call tonight. She gave me a code which will give you a big discount, should you decide to purchase something from the website: "Faith."
Now I will share the Symptoms of Inner Peace (which I understand was also read on the Oprah Winfrey show): 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 are:
- The tendency to think and act spontaneously, rather than from fear.
- An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.
- Loss of interest in judging other people.
- Loss of interest in judging self.
- Loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.
- Loss of interest in conflict.
- Loss of ability to worry (a serious symptom).
- Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
- Contented feelings of connectedness with others and with nature.
- Frequent attacks of smiling through the eyes and from the heart.
- Increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.
- Increasing susceptibility 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 too far advanced to turn back. If you are exposed to anyone exhibiting several of these symptoms, remain exposed at your own risk. The condition of Inner Peace is likely to be well into its infectious stage.
Marie Wilson lives in Sacramento, California, where she works as a Wellness Coach, Nutritional Counselor and Intuitive Reader.
Marie has been especially inspired by John of God, a spiritual healer whose practice is in Brazil. She visited John of God in Atlanta, Georgia, during his recent trip to that area where thousands of people made a pilgrimage to see him. Marie herself had a powerful personal healing experience during this trip. During the summer of 2006, she co-led a group of people to see John of God in Brazil. Marie has also been inspired and guided by the philosophy and example of Peace Pilgrim, a woman who journeyed across America on foot to promote the cause of Peace.
Marie has been a long-time supporter of Philip Burley’s work through organizing seminars and book sales to increase public awareness of Philip’s gifts as a professional medium and spiritual teacher. Her own intuitive experiences have confirmed the importance of this prayer project and sustained prayer for America and the world.
