Live your life like a prayer … David R. Hawkins

Weekly  Contemplation
Rediscovery of the Pristine State
One is not really ruled by the mind at all.  What the mind reveals is an endless stream of options, all disguised as memories, fantasies, fears, concepts, etc.  To get free of domination by the mind, it is only necessary to realize that its parade of subjects is merely an arbitrary cafeteria of selections wending their way across the screen of the mind.
One is  not ‘forced’ to feel resentment by a negative memory, nor does one have to buy into a fearful thought about the future.  These are only options.  The mind is like a television set running its various channels for selection, and one does not have to follow any particular temptation of thought.  One can fall into the temptation of feeling sorry for oneself, or angry, or worried.  The secret attraction of all these options is that they offer an inner payoff or a secret satisfaction which is the source of the attraction of the mind’s thoughts.
If these payoffs are refused, it will be discovered that, at all times behind the thought screen, there is a silent, invisible, thought-free space of joy.  This is an option that is always available, but, to be experienced, it has to be chosen above all other tempting options. The source of joy is always present, always available, and not dependent on circumstances. There are only two obstacles: (1) the ignorance that it is always available and present and (2) valuing something other than peace and joy above that peace and joy because of the secret pleasure of the payoff.

Abraham-Hicks Daily Quote – July 21, 2019 – ******

Everyone holds a mix of opinions, beliefs, and expectations on a myriad of subjects. When you give your attention to something, that Vibration becomes activated and comes to the forefront. And the more often you focus upon it, and cause it to come to the forefront, the more dominant it becomes.

You have the option of making a good-feeling aspect of another person dominant in your Vibration or of making a bad-feeling aspect dominant, and whatever aspect you regularly choose will become the Vibrational basis of your relationship. When your happiness becomes your highest priority, and so you deliberately keep active the best-feeling aspects of others, you will train your Vibrational frequency in such a way that they will not be able to rendezvous with you in any way that does not feel good when it happens.

The only way for anyone to be consistently happy is to understand that the feeling of happiness is simply about alignment with the Source within. When you are in your Vortex of Creation, you are lined up with all-that-you-have-become and with everything that you have asked for. There simply is no substitute for that alignment.
