When we go through a negative experience usually we form a belief as: “I have a problem,” or, “I am not able to make it,” or “I have to run out of it.” If you believe in these statements, you are allowing imprints in your energy field, and they start having a separate life from the rest of your being. ‘Problems’ always trigger intense emotional reactions of being flooded, in between being numb and unable to feel fully alive; it keeps reinforcing non-thriving, untruthful negative beliefs about you and life; it motivates destructive maladaptive behaviors.

The Master began speaking. “When you spontaneously laugh, are you thinking?” he asked.

“No,” Leela responded.

“When you experience deep peace, are you thinking?” the Master asked.

“No,” replied Akina.

“When you are overtaken with love for someone, are you thinking?” the Master asked.

“No,” responded Tonga.

“When you are in a state of awe, are you thinking?” the Master asked.

“No,” Bizah said.

The Master then fell silent and his students joined him in meditation.
