Wisdom from Sarah Huemmert As David Hawkins says in “The Eye of the I,” we are not ruled by the mind. What the mind reveals is an endless stream of options all disguised as memories, fantasies, fears, concepts etc. See it all as a cafeteria of selections wending their way across the screen of the mind. Thus, we are not forced to feel resentment by a negative memory. And we don’t have to buy into a fearful thought about the future. These are just options. The secret attraction of the option is the inner payoff or secret satisfaction. We just need to refuse these payoffs. Behind this screen of thoughts is the free space of joy. It is this that is available to us above all the other tempting options. It is important to recognize how much we love the payoff. We hang onto the negativity because want the payoff. We feel justified in our resentments, self pity, anger, martyrdom, jealousy. But there is a choice only as long as we are willing to give up the payoff. It is when we recognize that the payoff is actually suffering.
