God is Love and therefore so am I. You are not brainwashing yourself into this, but you are washing your brain from what you normally think. And when you wash your brain you will have a clearer assessment, and you will find yourself becoming increasingly optimistic. You will feel enlivened, re-inspired. The world needs yogis doing this. Relax in your body, shut up in your mind, and feel the truth of Supreme Being, Isness, Life, live.
