    The Source of Unhappiness – a Quote From Dr. David R. Hawkins

    Would you like to feel happy?  Do you want to have more peace of mind?  Then give up your opinion.

    How you see the world makes no difference to anyone else.  Everyone sees the world differently.  Yet, opinions are the source of suffering and negativity.  All negativity in your life can be sourced back to an opinion that you hold.

    Here is a quote from one of my all time favorite books Eye of The I:

    “With humility comes the willingness to stop trying to control or change other people or life situations or events ostensibly ‘for their own good’.  To be a committed spiritual seeker, it is necessary to relinquish the desire to be ‘right’ or of imaginary value to society.  In fact, nobody’s ego or belief systems are of any value to society at all.  The world is neither good nor bad nor defective, nor is it in need of help or modification because its appearance is only a projection of one’s own mind.  No such world exists.”  Dr. David Hawkins, Eye of the I, page 108.

    As your study these words I think you’ll begin to see things from a new perspective.
