(Story One)

"Another Bad Seed?"

 

   In  the  course of telling this tale it would be i-deal   to   avoid  using  the  gender-related  pro-nouns, but that constitutes a nearly impossible task  when  expressing  oneself  via  spoken or written  language.  Unlike  in  the  earthly  exis-tence,  in  which  Plane  the gender factor is so influential  and  deterministic,  on  the  Spiritual  Plane it has no essential meaning, even though  a  spirit  often  retains a "sense" of the sex as-signment in the last life lived.

   Having  discussed  the  latter, I, in the course of recounting the events of this story, will, when necessity  dictates, defy my own disinclination  to  use “he,” “her,” “she,” and “him” when   mak-ing  references  to  GAs  [guardian angels]. But  please  do  be mindful that I use the terms only loosely, and that goes particularly for references to the Universal Spirit.

 

   So, there they were  these  six particular GAs “kicked back” in terms of their moods  and  pre-dispositions  and  communicating  their  experi-ences  over  the  last  twenty-four  hours on the physical Plane. From most to least experienc-ed as GAs and number  of  past  lives   lived  in  the  PW  [physical  world], they  were   addres-sed  in   the  Spiritual   Plane  as “Tippy,”  “Par-go,”   “Heavy  B,”   “Persephone,”   “Acts,”  and “Bum-Bum.”

   Tippy,  known  formerly  as “Tipton” in the last life  lived,  has  been  around a long time by any measure,   and    the    knowledge    of   human motivation and  behavior  accumulated  by  that  GA  over  the  eons  is quite impressive. Indeed Tippy  has  earned  quite a reputation regarding the   ability  to  guide  an  assigned  human  to behave in a manner such as to usher  the  latter to  fulfillment  of  his  or  her   hiighest  role,   in accordance with the Universal Plan.

   It is pertinent to add here   that   the Universal Spirit  (referred  to, as  you know, by many  dif-ferent  appellations  in the PW),  has willed the  evolution  of, and eventual fruition of, what some refer  to  as a Master  Plan, and  it is  the job of  each  GA  to influence the behaviors of the indi-vidual  assigned  to  that GA in such a way that the  human exhibits behaviors that facilitate the development, evolution, and  gradual realization of the Master or Universal Plan.

(Story Two)

"Schizophrenia"

 

   Alisa  Brogliocelli  was  running late. She had simply overslept this morning, and although she completed  each  item of her preparation routine in  half  the  time, she was still grabbing her car keys and sprinting out the front  door a half hour later than usual. It was for this reason that while pulling hurriedly from the driveway of  her  home she  caught  sight of Larry Brighton passing her front lawn from the opposite side of the street.

   Turning   onto   the   street,  Alisa  “remotely” lowered    the    passenger   window    as   she maneuvered  alongside  Larry,  and  she leaned  over and addressed him warmly, with a simple, “Hi.”

   “Hi,” Larry responded.

   “Look,  I’m  running  late but if you’re going to the  college downtown,  I  have  to go very near there on my way to work. You want a lift?”

   The  sight  of  Alisa  even at a distance nearly melted Larry inside. To have her lean over in her car,  her  face  a  mere  yard or so from his, her eyes,  as   Larry   perceived  them,  bright  and child-like,   obliterated  his  ability   for  incisive, analytic   thought.  “Oh,   no,   thank  you,”   he answered  mechanically, but in a pleasant tone, without  even  having  considered accepting the offer.

   “Okay.   Bye,”   Alisa    intoned   melodically, briefly  waving  the fingers of  her right hand, fin-gers that seemed    to    Larry   to    emit  sprin-kles   of  invisible  magic  dust,  wafting  on  the scent of body  fresh oils and   emanating   from  the  passenger  window.  In  seconds  she was gone, leaving  Larry  to   re-collect  his  senses  and  wonder  why  he  didn’t  accept the invita-tion to  spend twenty or so minutes with a god-dess.

 

ACT III

 

   “Any  questions  about  our discussion today on  dysthymic  disorder  before  we  wrap up for today?”  asked  Dr. Norville  in  Larry’s morning psychology class.  At  first  there  was  silence, then Melanie posed a question.

    “Are  you  familiar with a condition called ‘S’ ‘A’ ‘D’?   It was   being   discussed  last  week on  a morning news program.”

   "Yes,    seasonal    affective   disorder,"   the professor  answered.  "I  assume  that  you  ask because you wonder if it falls under the heading of Mood Disorder, like dysthimia--."
