A continuation from "Healing and Recovery", by David Hawkins.
"Within each and everyone is that intrinsic innocence that never dies, no matter how long we live; it is intrinsic to the nature of consciousness itself. The innocence of the child is what bought the mistake or negative program in the first place. It is helpful to be aware that the intrinsic innocence of the child is still present in everyone. It is the innocence that watches television and naively buys into the negative programming due to its lack of discernment. The innocence of the child has no warning within it, nothing that says, "This is a world that is out to program you with as much negativity as you are willing to buy." In fact, that world gets well paid to do so because advertising is often based on appealing to the negative energy fields. All our fears, desires, and pridefulness are represented below the level of 200. It takes the willingness to be aware that within us in our innocence needs to be protected."
"When we look at "self-care", which is the capacity to love one's self, we find it now means taking responsibility to protect ourselves from the consequences of that innocence and the willingness to undo mistakes that the mind picked up as a result. We can then handle looking at ourselves and healing that which we find within us if we accept the awareness of the intrinsic innocence of our consciousness. We see that it was the innocence that was programmed. We then take responsibility for that and say, "In my innocence, I bought all that; I didn't know any better. I thought that the right thing to do was to be judgmental, to condemn people, and to judge them as right and wrong. Now I see that all that has made me sick, so I'm going to let it go." The people who are willing to look into this and go through the processes already described had complete, and full recoveries from their illnesses."
"The capacitiy to be forgiving is within us, along with the capacity for compassion. Out of it comes a general attitude about the way in which we look at ourselves. From our bigness, from our greatness, we look at our humanness through forgiving eyes and begin to forgive ourselves as well as others for all the things that were limitations and denials of the truth. All the things in the energy fields below 200 are denials of the truth; all those above 200 are the acceptance of that which is true and positive. Because our body reflects what the mind believes, and the mind reflects our spiritual position, spirit has the greatest power of all. Therefore, our spiritual position literally determines whether we have a healthy physical body or not."
"Once we are willing to accept the power of the mind, we have to be attentive, persevering, and not let mind get away with expressing negativity. We have to stop it as soon as we become aware of it. We have to begin to develop an awareness of negativity and recognize it for what it is. We let go of false humility and start questioning such remarks as, "Well, you know, I'm not very bright," or " My handwriting is poor," or "I gain weight eating the same amount of food that thin people eat." The minute we become aware of ourselves saying or thinking these limiting, self-defeating, self-attacking thoughts, we have to stop and cancel them."
"The handwriting is poor because there is a belief system that we have poor handwriting, so we then reverse the whole programming of the mind as far as cause and effect. We are returning to a principle that we can demonstrate through our own experience. It is physical and the expression of the mental, not vice-versa."
"We came to the conclusion that our handwriting is poor because the cause was in the mind, in the belief system. It may have been a remark picked up during childhood. Someone may have said, "Your handwriting is poor," and from that point forward, the program is operative. We have to look at the ingenuity of the unconscious mind to really see it. It would be great if one had some experience in watching hypnotic experiments. It has been shown that if a person is told their legs will be itching when they awaken, and then induce amnesia for the suggestion, when the person wakes up, they are asked how they feel. Instantly the mind will start creating the most marvelous and convincing argument of why the person's legs should itch. The person doesn't just say, "Well, my legs itch." The mind always gets creative and starts explaining, "Well, I have wool pants on, and you know I'm allergic to wool, and the heat in this room is steam heat, and that always creates the itching." It is just marvelous to listen to the inventiveness of the mind as it begins to create reasons for the symptoms, which, as stated above, were place within the hypnotic subject on purpose. The mind will do the same thing without formal hypnosis, so it is helpful to look at ourselves as though we have been hypnotized for half our lives and did not even realize it."
"What is hypnosis? It is suggestibility, is it not? It means to be in an unguarded, suggestible, relaxed state, so anytime we have been in that state, we have picked up all the programming, and whether we remember it or not, it is still operative. All the times we were half asleep as we sat in front of the television set, hour after hour of programming went into the mind and became unconscious hypnotic programs."
"We can discover what we have been programmed with by watching to see what comes up, such as the idea that, "I'm no good. Oh, I'm no good, I'm no good. I never was very good at playing cards." If we have the belief system of not being very good at playing cards, that is what is going to operate in our life and also reinforce that belief system. The belief system become self-reinforcing and self-fulfilling prophecies. A belief that is held unwittingly can manifest in our life, thus justifying the belief system. By looking at our lives, we can tell what beliefs are being held. If we cannot recall them, then we say they are unconscious or have unwittingly picked up from the collective consciousness of society."
"Heath is the automatic expression of higher energy fields. The fields of 540 and over are the levels of gratitude, forgiveness, and healing. The willingness to be forgiving and grateful in itself automatically begins the healing process. Becoming a loving being in the energy fields of love is not sentimentality or emotionalism. What the world calls love is more often about dependency, control, sentimentalism, and emotionalism. It is an emotional, sentimental attachment in which control is going back and forth, and there is the satisfaction or desiringness on both sides. This is the Hollywood version of love."
"When you hear someone say, "I used to love George, but I don't anymore," it means that they never did love George. What was really meant is that they had a sentimental attachment, sort of a solar-plexus kind of 'hanging onto', which the person romanticized and glamorized within their life, pouring a lot of emotional energy into it so that when the tie was broken, up came a lot of negative emotion."
"Real love is unconditional love. Unconditional love is a decision we make within ourselves. The process is one of intention and the decision to be a loving person. If I decide to love you, that is my inner decision. There is nothing the other person can do about it…" David Hawkins
