That Other Thing - It's Just A Feeling

More on the process of Letting Go...

Today, excerpts from Dr. David Hawkins book, Letting Go: A Pathway of Surrender.

"When the pressure of suppressed and repressed feelings exceeds the individuals tolerance level, the mind creates an event "out there " upon which to vent and displace itself. This the person with repressed grief will unconsciously create sad events in life.  The fearful person gets frightening experiences; the angry person becomes surrounded by infuriating circumstances; and the prideful person is constantly being insulted...All great masters point us within."

"Everything in the universe emits a vibration.  The higher the vibration, the more power it has..."

"The mind has no dimensions or size and is not limited to space; therefore, the mind transmits its basic state via vibrational energy over distance.  This means that we routinely and unwittingly affect others by our emotional state and thought forms..."

"Because emotions emit a vibrational energy field, they affect and determine the people who are in our lives. Life events become influenced by our repressed and suppressed emotions on a psychic level."

The Mechanism of Letting Go 

'Letting Go involves being aware of a feeling, letting it come up, staying with it, and letting it run it's course without wanting to make it different or do anything about it.  It means simply to let the feeling be there and to focus on the energy behind it.  The first step is to allow yourself to have the feeling without resisting it, venting it, fearing it condemning it or moralizing about it.  It means to drop judgement and to see that it is just a feeling. The technique is to be with the feeling and surrender all efforts to modify the feeling.  It is resistance that keeps the feeling going. When you give up resisting or trying to modify the feeling, it will shift to the next feeling and be accompanied by a lighter sensation.  A feeling that is not resisted will disappear as the energy behind it dissipates..."

This is how I spend my mornings, reflecting, sipping coffee, contemplating, sitting with myself.  Part 2 to follow... maybe. I'm off to create a Wonderland now.  Tomorrow we build the rabbit hole... but more on that later too, maybe.

Gotta go.
