it changes the human being into a monster

"We shall not ask who or what is the not-personal intelligence. But we should recognize its servants, and we should discover when and where it settles within our being, within our own being, when and how it changes the human being into a monster."

Resistance is about believing that you are vulnerable or susceptible to something not wanted and holding a stance of protection, which only holds you in a place of not letting in the Well-being that would be there otherwise. There is nothing big enough to protect you from unwanted things — and there are no unwanted things big enough to get into your experience. ~~ Abraham-Hicks Said stance is hereby relinquished. Verily, I say unto the universe, I shall no longer mime the existence of a glass wall or ceiling around me. I shall traverse this great planet with the knowing that all before me is exactly where it should be, exactly when it should be there, doing exactly what it should be doing. Amen. And when I forget how this dreamy, floaty feeling feels, someone please remind me.

sensation Whether you are addicted to craving, or aversion, or hatred, or passion, or fear, the addiction is to a particular sensation that has arisen because of a bio-chemical flow. This type of matter results in reaction at the mental level, and the reaction at the mental level again turns into this bio-chemical reaction. When you say that you are addicted, you are actually addicted to the sensation. You are addicted to this flow, the bio-chemical flow. --S. N. Goenka In another lifetime, I participated a meditation retreat in one of Goenka's centers on the West Coast. Nine days of practice, great vegetarian food. The fact that you couldn't talk to or look directly at anyone for seven of those days was the most excruciating part of it, never mind the constant sitting and bringing back the monkey mind from wherever you suddenly realized it had wandered. Excruciating, and then relief. I knew I was addicted to the bio-chemical flow of communication, and felt the genuine rush from my fix when we were allowed to converse once again. However, now I'm reading The Female Brain by Louann Brizendine, which posits that, based on physiological research, those of us of the feminine persuasion think in ways and make decisions "that are actually shaped by hormonal effects on the female brain compelling connection and communication." Just getting into this text, so I will pass more on as warranted.
