Many people mistake excitement, high-energy, cheerfulness as "the positive feelings" we talk about in the Three Principles.  They assume that having a good time, being temporarily happy, is the desirable state.  The Feeling we point to is deep peace of mind, a sense of connection to the moment and to the universe, a feeling that generates quietude, appreciation, love, and contentment, regardless of circumstances.  From this feeling, we find faith in wisdom, always accessible but not always accessed, knowing that it is a Divine source of guidance through life.  Once we experience that feeling, we lose tolerance for times when we are caught up in personal thinking, and look to return to quiet.Support the show

Psychology is traditionally focused on solving problems.  Right now, there is a focus on working through past traumas.  We say that when you dredge up the past, you get trapped in something that cannot change.  Every time you think about it, you relive it, but you can't make it turn out differently.  With the 3P perspective, a Wisdom-Focused approach, we help people see we all create life from the inside-out via Mind, Consciousness, and Thought, and explain that all people have innate Wisdom, available through a quiet mind, to guide them through life.  We point people to being safe in the present moment, understanding the past is now only thoughts we choose to carry forward via our own gift of Thought.Support the show
