Don’t Just Think Peace—Feel It!

By Evalyn Sorrentino

 

Years ago I was amidst a group of people surrounding a person who was a bearer of great light. Throngs of people surrounded her. I spent personal time with her opening homes for new mothers and their babies who had AIDS.

She was humble. She was strong.

She was a beacon of light, never judging anyone and seeking only equality for herself and others. She took no advantage of being this person. If someone wanted to treat her differently than the others, she would refuse their gift and instead would be asking that the same kindness be extended to everyone, or not at all. 

I literally felt something from her preceding her physical presence in my company so I would know she was coming. I wondered why few, if any, others could feel the same
thing?

Feelings are constantly emanating toward and from us. Very few people recognize these powerful body sensations because most people live in the world of their thoughts, which places them in the future or the past in thoughts, thus avoiding the present, where the peace and its sensation is. 

Unless we feel peace, we cannot feel the acrimony of our conflicting thoughts. 

Until we feel the acrimony generated by thoughts, emotions, judgments, and beliefs, we cannot really want peace because we think peace and fool ourselves.

It is essential to feel peace.

    Thank you. Great share!
    It reminds me of my first meditation teacher (a woman) circa my 20th year. Loved going over to her house and being with her, for I felt nothing but Peace.
    The whole space of the house, including the meditation room, was a refuge of pure ease, a sense of being comforted. We meditated in the darkness after she turned out the lights.
    Fear thoughts and beliefs of scary monsters, death, etc had always been with me.
    Realizing — not one time did I experience fear when around my first meditation teacher.

    Yes, so true. Years ago. A woman began attending Wed night CS services. I had seen her in a ballet class at SLU. I had been told she meditated. I noticed that I could feel her energy the moment I opened the outside door. I was so impressed that I asked to be able to do this too, for each service. It is just that service. Love, Donna
