"Negative thoughts, emotions, and behaviors can be grouped into one of
three basic categories: attachment, aversion, or delusion. All
positive thoughts arise from a single quality: love. Negativity -
be it desire, fear, or ignorance - separates us from others. Love
dissolves the distance and separation between us and others; it is the
inclusion of others into our own identity.
It's understood that the dynamics of all forms of love - kindness,
generosity, patience, humility - are energies that arise at the beginning
and pervade to the end of creation. They are infinite; they have no
end. Over time, as these positive angels become a part of you and
eliminate and leach out the poisons of negativity, you will move from a
condition of madness and insanity to one of sanity and
awakening.
Love calms the mind and brings it into equilibrium so that the truth may
emerge. Each one of the poisons will only lead to another
poison. They make it impossible to see the truth. What is
your thinking like when you're under their spell? You'll act like
some kind of demon, and then afterwards feel shame and guilt. It's
just another weight that you have to carry around. There's nothing
to be gained by this. On the other hand, the qualities of love draw
you into life so that you can see clearly. Your life becomes
fantasy free and you stop living in some kind of fairy tale." --
