I know it might sound like a stupid question but what if the feeling doesn't show in the body?

I feel helpless and powerless but every time I feel it i scan my body but nothing in the body

Like apathy or guilt how does that show in the body?

I feel like something missing, i know i have different negative feelings but i only feel anxiety and fear or anger

In short: I'm struggling of letting go of a strong infatuation for a coworker/acquaintance that's going on several years now. I didn't see many posts about this specifically so I was wondering if anybody had any advice for this particular situation.

I've read "Letting Go" and have been practicing the technique for a few months now, and it's been very effective, I was able to let go of alot of long time fears, resentments, grudges etc. so I know this is very effective, but I slammed into a hard roadblock with this infatuation.

It's been pretty much the main focus of most of my meditations recently and it honestly feels like I'm making zero progress. With everything else I tried letting go of, there was some movement immediately and nothing took longer than maybe a few weeks to dissolve fully. Even if I do a session and think that maybe I made progress, I'm back to square one as soon as I actually am around this girl.

To be honest I'm not even sure where the sticking point is. I know logically I need to let go of these passions, but the same method I used for other things doesn't seem to be working here.

I find it confusing and tbh annoying that he first describes the letting go practice as to allow yourself to have and feel the feelings as long as needed, as many times as needed.

Then as the book goes on he uses it differently, for example the apartment thing where the person just "lets go" of the desire to have the apartment. Its not like a person can just drop the need for apartment like that and it certainly did not happen the way he describes the letting go practice earlier on. He also uses the word "relinguish" often, for example to relinquish anger. Once again, you can't just drop anger like that.. it takes long time to burn it out.

People use the "letting go" practice for months and years for certain things and Hawkins makes it seem like you can do miracles in 1 minute by just relinquishing and dropping desire etc. When he earlier in the book says you should allow these feelings to be there as long as needed.

Term "allowing" is pretty popular right now in the mind body space and that term is better than letting go tbh.

As Dr. Hawkins so often reminded us, the power of intention and the field of consciousness are not limited by time or space. In the grace of loving awareness, even silent prayers are heard.

A very strange thing Doc says is the fall of Prophet Mohammeds (pbuh) LoC from 700 to 130 😮😮😮

This very strongly contradicts many times of his statement that at 700 illumination is permanent, absolute, unshakable... Etc.

Doesn't make sense at all that a fully enlightened being falls from grace, at that POV from such a being's subjective experience they are already one with God and perfectly blissed out.

I’m looking at building another GPT that specifically helps guide people through the letting go technique.

What features or help would you want to have in it?

1. Somatic (sensation) description identification help?
2. Guidance to stay with the breathe and the feeling so the mind doesn’t take over
3. Suggested interpretation of what the feeling sensations could mean
4. Specific guidance based on the description of what triggered the emotion
5. Breaking emotional overwhelm into associated parts for the bigger emotional upheaval?
6. Understanding of the emotional feeling states and what the body interpretations may mean from an aura or acupuncture understanding

Something else? Tell me what you think would be of value and help and I’ll build it.

Here’s my last build that can do a modest job of letting go, but is more of a study companion of Doc’s works.

Fell in love with Doc in 2016, and I was raised in South Carolina…. My entire life has had everything to do with good person hood. I used to shudder when doc spoke about tossing people overboard in previous lifetimes while he connected it to greed. Almost ten years later a during a “morning drives with doc” where I hop in my Tesla on FSD with no direction and stream his lectures and books - That statement just felt much more familiar. I’m sure I’m in the mid 200’s, because I’ve pretty existed to spread good person hood and that’s how I’ve always connected my sense of spirituality: neutral and with an duh of course hilarious and relaxed context hahaha

Has anyone else had similar experiences where random doc statements became familiar and blockages become softly obvious?

How do I know if I should let go of particular things or when I should stand up for myself and raise I stink and not take sh*t from people?

I come from a very religious society, women are body ashamed so they have to cover, we are ashamed if we decide to leave religion, basically we are ashamed in every little detail in our lives especially as women.

So I worked a lot on shame, and I can feel the difference I can also see how that reflected on my reality.

But still I'm ashamed to take off my hijab to dress the way I want or to tell my family and friends that i left the religion.

Has anyone experienced this?

It is incredible to me how his teachings are the same as Acim. It is incredible how he knew.He taught that anyone could "know" the truth by quieting the ego (the "still waters") and allowing the Divine Intelligence to speak directly to their consciousness.

If you need something new to read that helps you strengthen the direction of the course, try him.

Example:

Dissolving Separation: "Not Two Things":

Fox’s most fundamental teaching is that "you and God are not two things."

The Ocean Analogy: He compared us to drops in the ocean. A drop isn't the whole ocean, but it is made of the "same stuff" as the ocean.

The Error: We feel "not enough" or lonely when we look only at the "drop" (our personality, bank account, or body) and forget the "ocean" (the Divine Substance) it is made of.

The Prayer: Scientific prayer is the act of looking past the "drop" to remember the "Ocean."
