In this post I'm going to share something powerful and profound. It is the subject of Beliefs and their impact on every facet of human experience.
Beliefs are formed at the subconscious level in every young child as an emotional response to their environment. They're usually created to help the child stay safe and may be appropriate for that particular time. However, they remain in consciousness over time influencing perceptions even when they no longer fit the situation.
Beliefs are also indoctrinated into the child by well-meaning parents and teachers. A father may tell his son “life is hard” thinking this will be helpful. Twenty years later the same belief will still be functioning and the man will have no clue why he is struggling so much.
As strange as it may seem, every thought we have is a belief. Our every-day self talk predisposes us towards certain attitudes and feelings. Whenever we have an emotional response to something, there's always one or more beliefs at work, creating reactions and behaviors.
Very few people have a level of awareness which allows them to see their own beliefs and fewer still have the ability to really change what they believe. The difficulty is that beliefs cannot be changed at the conscious, cognitive level. To verify this, just notice how temporary and ineffective it is to give someone a pep talk or try to convince them of something different. Religious beliefs are a perfect example. Many people would rather die than change what they believe.
Throughout history, beliefs have been the chief cause of hundreds of millions of deaths in all wars. All conflicts are the result of one person or an entire nation believing something about another person or nation. The right-wrong game has been the foundation of all society and is a direct byproduct of beliefs.
You Can Now Transform Your Beliefs
The Good news is that there is a process for changing beliefs experientially and when you do this the belief is is actually transformed and replaced by a new, empowering belief that supports you in creating the life you truly want.
Beliefs are neither right nor wrong, good nor bad. Saying a belief is wrong is simply another belief. Beliefs can be empowering such as “I'm smart man/woman” or limiting such as “I can’t make the money I want”.
One of the most powerful practices you can develop is to ask yourself: what might someone need to believe in order to have this experience?” Staying with this question will allow you to uncover the root cause of any situation. A measure of compassion is very useful when exploring beliefs. Judgments are beliefs. Everything you experience in your life whether realized or not is, at the core, a byproduct of some belief. You can think of it as the programming language of your bio-computer.
In the Life Crafting program, we have a powerful method for shifting beliefs available to all our clients. Not only do they get to experience the benefits right away of shifting limiting beliefs, they also learn the method themselves so it is available to them for the rest of their life. They gain the ability to identify the limiting (and transparent) beliefs in others and help them change them if they wish to do so.
Once you learn this method, your life will never be the same and you will have an ability very few people have. Virtually any situation, problem, challenge can be unraveled and resolved by using this advanced knowledge and skills.
You will never learn about beliefs in school even if you progress to a Ph.D level. The reason is obvious. Educational institutions do not want a truly empowered population able to shape their own reality. Think of how this would impact consumers and change their susceptibility to advertising messages! In essence, the population is kept in the dark and essentially asleep by the consistent practice of indoctrination – the subtle or overt practice of filling the masses with beliefs.
What is Your Primary Challenge Now?
Whatever it is, it will help you tremendously to write down all the things you believe about your challenge or situation. While doing this, notice where you have an emotional charge on an item, i.e. feelings that come up for you as you contemplate some particular, idea or belief. The beliefs with an emotional charge are invariably holding you back the most. I suggest you circle them.
Next, ask yourself: is this belief serving me or helping me? If the answer is no, ask yourself: what would you rather believe? Write it down. Imagine having this new belief and the impact it would have in your present situation. This will help you to get started noticing and identifying beliefs that are operating in your awareness. Human experience lives in layers and when you have the courage to drill down and discover your deeper truths, you'll create an amazing level of freedom for yourself and for those you care about.
Changing Your Financial Situation
You will not uncover any one single factor more relevant and impactful to your financial life than the beliefs you have about money, income and all related subjects. If you want to make more money, start looking at what you believe about money and about all the things connected to it.
Your relationship with money will define most everything that happens with it regardless how hard you work or how clever you are in your career or business.
