LOS ANGELES lawyer Gary P.
Miller: won an $85,000 disability
payment from Equitable Life
Assurance Society for his claim
that he’ has been allergic to court-
houses for two years and therefore
cannot work at his profession. His
disability stems from his arrest in
1992 on insurance fraud charges:
he claims that exposure to the crim-
inal justice system now causes him
Stress, mood swings and physical
sickness. The insurance company is
now trying to get its money back.

Last summer, police in Carlisle
Township, Ohio, said they had no
leads on the identity of the voyeur
captured on the security-camera
videotape at the Elyria Value City
store. The tape shows a,man stalk-
ing a woman through the lingerie
and shoe departments. When the
woman stopped to examine some
clothing on a rack, the man stealth-
ily approached her from behind,
held a small pocket mirror close to
the floor, and looked up her dress.

In January, a jury in Toronto
awarded more than $2 million to
David Stringer, 36, in his lawsuit
against David and Lisa Ashley after
he broke his neck jumping off the
Ashleys’ roof into their swimming
pool. According to testimony, the
Ashleys warned Stringer not to
make the jump, but four times he
climbed through a window, ascend-
ed to the roof, and jumped.
Stringer’s own lawyer termed. his
client’s behavior “idiotic.” The
Ashleys are insured for only one-
fourth the amount of the judgment.

Twelve

ways

to achieve love
and happiness

HEAVENS ABOVE

PLEASE READ slowly with
the heart, rather than quick-
ly with the head.

1. ifree myself from security,

sensation and power addictions that.
have me try to forcefully controi

situations and thus destroy my

serenity and keep me from loving
miyselffothers (same thing). I do not
rely on my own finite power in
order to do so. I'ask for help, trust,
open up and receive. '

2.1 discover how my conscious-
ness- dominating addictions create.
my. illusory versions of the very
changing world of ‘People and situa-
tions “around me.”

‘3. I welcome the Of: portunity
(even if painful) that moment-to-
moment experience offers to _
become aware of the addictions I
best reprogram to be liberated from
my robot-like emotional patterns.

4. | know that I have everything
E need to enjoy my here and now —
unless allowing my consciousness

to be dominated by demands and‘

expectations based on the dead ‘past
or the imagined future. ..
'.5. [take full responsibility here

aud now for everything I experi- -.,
‘ence, for itis my own programming

that creates my actions and also. -
influences the reactions of people
“around me.” Ca tg

6. [accept myself completely
here and nov: and consciously expe-
rience everything I feel, think, say
and do (including my emotion-
backed addictions) as a necessary
part of my growth into higher con-
sciousness. .

7. lopen myself genuinely to all
by being willing to fully communi-
cate my deepest feelings, since hid-
ing in any degree keeps me stuck in
my illusion of separateness from so-
called “others.”

8. | feel with loving compassion
the problems of “others” without
gelting caught up emotionally in
their predicaments that are offering
them messages they need for their ©
growth lessons. :

9. Lact freely when tuned in,
centred and loving, but avoid acting
when emotionally upset and depriv-
ing myself of the wisdom that flows
from love and expanded conscious-
ness.

10. I continually calm the rest-
less scanning of my rational mind
in order to sense the finer energies
that enable me to intuitively merge
with everything “around me."

Il. Pam constantly aware of
which centres of consciousness I
am using and feel my energy, sensi-
lively, /ove and inner peace grow as
| open,

12. Lam aware of everyone,

including myself, as an essentially
always awakened being who is here.
to claim his or her birthright to the
higher consciousness planes of”
unconditional love and oneness. .
