Last week I was talking to a friend about positive thinking – which he is a big believer in. Each day he gets up and repeats a number of positive affirmations to himself.
He says that doing these affirmations helps him a lot. He says when he affirms what he wants he gets into a positive state of mind.
I asked him for some specifics. He told me that when he gets up each day he’s in a grumpy mood – but after saying, “I feel terrific” six times with a ton of enthusiasm, that his mental state begins to go from crummy to the cream-of-the-crop.
“That’s great,” I said. “But let me ask, other than feeling good, what results are you manifesting. What are you able to accomplish when you feel good.”
This stumped the man – who then began to tell me that desire was a bad thing, the cause of all human suffering, and so on. He told me that this is something I “should know” being I’m a Zen Master.
I said: “Desire is as natural as breathing. You cannot rid yourself of desire anymore than you can rid the Universe of chi or vital energy. Anyone who tells you desire causes suffering is an idiot. Desire doesn’t and cannot cause suffering. And any attempt to rid yourself of it is yet another desire.”
“Okay,” he says, “so tell me why I feel pain and suffering when I don’t get what I want.”
“Because you’re attached to what you want. You think you MUST have it in order to be happy. You think muney makes you happy. It doesn’t and can’t. You think a new car makes you happy, it doesn’t. But if you are happy for no particular reason, then you can have all of these success trinkets and remain happy. You can desire something, bring it into being, and not be attached to it. ”
“So are you saying that my affirmations are a waste of time, that they’re wrong.”
“No, I’m not. Quite the contrary. I would, however, encourage you to learn how to put yourself into a powerful emotional state without affirmations – then when you feel terrific and tell yourself this truth – you’ll feel even better.”
And that is exactly what I reveal in the April CD going out to members of the Super Human Success Group. How to feel and be positive without trying to think or be positive.
