Mccoy and others interested, I have recently been in the presence of mental illness in others. Quite often it is used as an excuse or explanation for the actions of those who have it. They can be very disturbing to the environment and lead others to actions and behaviors they would not normally consider. I have actually seen people that have multiple personality disorder fluctuate from one distinct personality to another. What concerns me further is that I have seen some personality shifts in myself and have attempted to be mindful of shifts in behavior thus  bringing them under some control so that they are not a nuisance to myself and others. These behavioral changes are amplified and pronounced in those I’ve witnessed coming in my environment. I have determined for me, there are some behavioral issues that arise in those I think or thought of as friends, but are incompatible with what I am attempting to accomplish this life. At times we have to come to terms with the reality that the personal desires of others come in conflict with our highest values and our deepest intentions.

What I’ve found is that people who have severe mental illnesses usually fade from my environment. I believe the vibration is challenging for them to endure. But there are also times when others will strike out against us and attempt to eliminate us and our activities. At those times I recognize that I must rely on a higher vibration of for instance Babaji, Yogananda, or Amma to manage my affairs. Those who are sedated do not pose as much of a problem, but the sedation appears to also prevent them from functioning at optimal level.

I guess you could say I’m starting to take friendships a little slower. It is difficult to know the workings of another persons mind. And you can be misunderstood so easily. Most the time we listen to the headlines of our own personal stories. And don’t recognize the cocoon we have weaved around our own consciousness, limiting us to prescribed living habits and behaviors.
