Monday Paradigm Shift

Allright -- so I'm undergoing a paradigm shift. David Hawkins has it right, even though I still can't be sure of the basis for his statements -- kinesiology. But that almost doesn't matter since this is all "perception" anyhow.

In Power vs. Force, Hawkins describes a 'Map of Consciousness' and goes into elaborate detail as to what this means and how it shows up in the world. At the moment, I don't have the necessary words to describe my thoughts on this, but the paradigm is very much in alignment with my own thoughts and experiences.

I see attractor patterns everywhere and practically all the time. The more I look for them, the more of them I see. This is especially true in my own behavior (which, of course, comes from my thoughts which originate in consciousness).

Unfortunately, at the moment, I exist in a very "negative" energy field. I'm in guilt, shame, apathy, grief, fear, desire, anger, and pride most of the time. On occasion, I peek into courage and neutrality. Rare is willingness, acceptance, reason, and love. Nearly non-existent is joy and peace.

An example of this is how I, up until yesterday, viewed the universe. I've experienced situations that seem to repeat. It's as if the universe is trying to teach me something. So it throws something at me and sees how I react. If I react "correctly", then the situation never (or rare) repeats. If I react "incorrectly", then I'll get a repeat usually as quickly as the next day -- but sometimes sooner. I've thought of these situations as challenges, as if the universe is saying, "ok, buddy, whatcha gonna do with this?".

But now I see that these aren't challenges. The universe doesn't operate that way, even though from my negative energy level I might perceive it to be that way. The universe is actually in a constant state of giving. So -- instead of challenging me, I'm now seeing that the universe is trying to help me. Help me do what? Choose positive energy over negative energy. Simple as that.

My usual reaction to an unwanted situation is to get angry. I do this very well -- I'm an expert. But this reaction doesn't resolve the situation, and in fact it usually makes it worse. This is because anger is a negative energy. If, instead, I react with a positive energy (in most cases, I can go with neutrality), then the situation ends and I move on unharmed and in fact feeling pretty good about myself. My energy level has been slightly raised and that gives me a nice rush.

So why not always go for the positive energy reactions to things? Bad habits. I'm not use to seeking out positive energy.

Well, onward and upward.
