Power vs Force by David Hawkins.
"To explain that which is "simple" can sometimes be almost impossible; yet if we can understand even one simple thing in depth, we'll have greatly expanded our capacity for comprehending the nature of the Universe and Life itself."
"Much of this book is devoted to the process of making the simple obvious. But because the subject matter presented here is, in fact, extraordinarily simple, it's difficult to present in a world enamored of complexity. Despite our mistrust of ease and clarity, we may see two general classes of people in the world: Believers and Nonbelievers. to the Nonbelievers, everything is false until proven true; to the Believers, everything said in good faith is probably true unless it's proven otherwise." David Hawkins.
What I have been writing about for 7 years is abuse. It seems so blatantly simple and obvious and easy to discern and yet the truth of abuse slips through the minds of many…flipping it into love and family loyalty.
It seems that this is my one simple thing, that I have delved deeply into, trying to explain and understand it, I have discovered the nature of the Universe and Life itself.
While I may not have enlighten one other being, I have greatly raised my level of awareness and consciousness by trying to explain the simplicity between love and abuse.
It has been a journey into the confused mind…looking into the layers of beliefs that covered up the truth, it didn't want to see, while sitting the smack dab in the simple truth of it.
Reality/truth isn't hiding at all, it doesn't need to be found, or sought after; the mind needs to be broken apart and examined.
Abuse is living in plain view…but the mind weaves stories to cover it up.
While I am trying to explain abuse, perhaps what is more crucial is to explain the woven story that shields the abuse.
The pretty family picture that is placed on top of the one that is filled with abuse.
It is the fake one that needs to be torn apart.
They are believing in parents that don't exist…feeling love where abuse lay…holding close to the story, while overlooking the truth underneath.
It isn't the simple truth they are incapable of seeing, but the flimsy cloth that isn't real.
It is like they have fallen in love with a paper doll…a mask and refuse to let it die…for I believe they know if they let it die, all they will be left with is the simple truth.
And the simple truth is too painful to see.
The wide difference between the paper doll and the real thing is so huge, and they have put their love on the doll…while the real thing is flooded with fear.
So, they cling to the love EVEN if it is attached to that which isn't real.
We on the outside can see the paper doll they are clinging to which stands awkwardly in reality; where it can't act the act of love, it can't speak the words of love, it can't show love, Yet with force, they hold on tight, to the false image…for when they let go all is left is the ugly face they fear.
