The pain-body awakens from its dormancy when it gets hungry, when it
is time to replenish itself. Alternatively, it may get triggered by an
event at any time. The pain- body that is ready to feed can use the most
insignificant event as a trigger, something somebody says or does, or
even a thought. If you live alone or there is nobody around at the time,
the pain-body will feed on your thoughts.
Suddenly, your thinking becomes deeply negative. You were most likely
unaware that just prior to the influx of negative thinking a wave of
emotion invaded your mind—as a dark and heavy mood, as anxiety or fiery
anger. All thought is energy and the pain-body is now feeding on the
energy of your thoughts. But it cannot feed on any thought. You don’t
need to be particularly sensitive to notice that a positive thought has a
totally different feeling-tone than a negative one. It is the same
energy, but it vibrates at a different frequency. A happy, positive
thought is indigestible to the pain-body. It can only feed on negative
thoughts because only those thoughts are compatible with its own energy
field.
