What positive thinking actually does is teach us how to hypnotize ourselves into ignoring our true feelings. It creates a kind of tunnel vision. We begin to lock our awareness into a bubble in which we exist only as our “higher self,” always smiling, full of love and happiness, magnetic and unstoppable, blind to the world. Living inside this bubble might feel good in the short-term, but in time the bubble will burst. That is because every time we force ourselves to be positive, negativity grows within (Cerebellum is hooked up in the reverse of cerebrum). We can deny or repress the negative thoughts and emotions, but they don’t go away. As the positive grows so does the negative. They are two ends of the same stick. The higher the tree grows the deeper the roots. When a spiritual aspirant has one foot in heaven you can be sure the other foot is in hell. Pessimist and an optimist are in the same shoes; we need to become realists. We need to realize Existence is of the triune nature and that ‘exit’ can be found ‘only’ on the third side of the coin.
