June 29, 2005 This is a true story. In 1940, when Joy was about six years old, she discovered something wonderful! Joy discovered that she could lie still in the grass, stretch out her body, and feel a serenity she had never felt before. Because it felt so good, Joy practiced this activity often. When she was most relaxed she felt "totally satisfied just being there." Like Ram Dass she just loved to "BE HERE NOW." Joy also discovered that she could just stand outdoors and just look without trying to see anything, and she would feel this same sublime Yogic Peace. Joy's parents caught her in such states and they said harshly to stop. Her parents imagined that the girl might become mentally ill if she kept on feeling this Yogic Peace. Also they were afraid what other adults would think if they saw Joy in that pose. Nowadays such a child might well be considered "autistic." At the time no one made any serious study of what was making Joy feel so serene, heavenly, and blessed. She was such a QUIET little girl! In fact Joy was sixty years old before she discussed this subject with me. I told Joy that I'd met several other persons who had discovered the same Yogic Peace. She wondered why SCIENCE hadn't clearly explained this sublime sense of unity, and why even in today's progressive ARCATA there is still a paranoia about children using their eyes and their brains in this heavenly way. That's when I told Joy about the English schoolmaster David Boadella, and his report of having often experienced a similar effect while lying down on his back and gazing up into the sky. I went on to talk about Mr. Boadella's association with Dr. Wilhelm Reich. Joy definitely was interested. Both Reich and Joy were certificated professionals working in psychology. The story doesn't end there. The story doesn't end with the life and work of Dr. Reich himself, which was brutally terminated when the U.S government burned all of Reich's original books and other important papers, and the eccentric man's death in a jail cell not long after. This was in 1957 I believe. Why do you think so many well-meaning Western people still confuse being at the Peace Center with being insane? In my opinion, self-righteous iron-fisted ignorance is the culprit. This helps explain why, even today in the West, many children feel anxious and intimidated and at many schools children bring deadly weapons to school just to feel safe. All governments today need to study, feel, and promote the Yogic Force. Another name for Yogic Force is Christ the Comforter. Today Joy is approaching retirement. People who visit with her sense a calmness and a stability that is not commonly witnessed today. Joy radiates a warmth, a compassion, and an understanding. For decades she has been a patient comforter to visitors. AQUARIUSThe Aquarian Center------------ About the author: John L.
