Your Beliefs steers Your Whole Life

It's important to realize that with all things in your life situations, you are dealing with beliefs.

All your life situations spring forth from your beliefs and nothing else. It is therefore very  important to understand that to affect anything, all the work is done in the mind on the belief  level. It is pointless to try to change things by trying to manipulate the physical world if your  beliefs are still the same. And as you change your beliefs, do not look for immediate results in  the physical but instead recognize that

(1) as surely as you created situations from your old  beliefs, the new ones will just as surely arise and 
(2) it will take some ‘time’ for the old to give  way to the new and you do not know how long this time should be so don’t bother working it  out and stressing yourself about it – have patience and trust. If you change your mind (beliefs),  you can be assured that the results will follow, but do not constantly check for them or else that  will introduce anxiety and actually delay them. Your beliefs color all aspects of your life.Your beliefs can be walls around your experience because you will tend to see and experience  what you believe and filter out everything else. As such, they can act as barriers to new experience especially if your mind is not open and willing to see alternatives. Now, unless you are able to see and recognize these barriers (beliefs) you will not even realize that you are enclosed and not free. If your mind is closed, you will not see beyond the barriers that your  beliefs have formed. You must therefore learn to recognize these beliefs, first and foremost.

You create your reality. Your emotions and imagination always follow your beliefs. Always  and all ways. This is because almost every belief has certain emotions and imaginations  (thoughts) that are associated with it (there are very, very few beliefs that are purely  intellectual). The belief comes first, however. So to change your emotions and imagination  change your beliefs and the rest will follow.

All beliefs are ideas about reality and not facts or aspects of reality. An open mind knows this,  while a closed mind mistakes a belief for a fact. All facts are accepted fiction. The mind is  capable of creating heaven and earth, life and death, and its experience of that (and it does).

When it is said that if you have faith to move a mountain it will move, that is another way of  showing you just how powerful the mind is, despite what we think of it and the limitations we  place on it and thus on ourselves.

Your imagination follows your beliefs. If you do not recognize this you can find yourself in a  vicious cycle whereby you consistently imagine negative outcomes, which produce negative  events, which further reinforce your negative belief, which further gives off negative  imagination. The same applies to your emotions, as your emotions follow your beliefs.

Although many of your core beliefs were formed in childhood, you are not at their mercy  (unless you believe that you are). The present moment is always your point of power, and you  can change any belief now, whether or not you remember where it was formed or why. You are  not at the mercy of any belief, no matter where it was formed.

You must understand that you are not your beliefs. Make a clear distinction between you and  your beliefs. You are not your beliefs. For example, the statement, 的 am fat is not a fact of  reality but a belief about reality, and it is not a statement about you but a statement of belief.

You are not fat, but if you believe you are then you will experience that. You are Spirit. You  must learn to make a clear distinction between you and your beliefs so that you can learn how  to work with them deliberately and comfortably.

Your beliefs are physically materialized. That is how it works, and it is so to enable you to  experience your beliefs. Be-live. Beliefs are a statement of being, and as you are (be), so  shall you experience (live).

Imagination follows beliefs and cannot ever be in conflict with your will. You may imagine  that your imagination is running against your will, but closer inspection will show that it  cannot possibly do that. Your beliefs can conflict, but your imagination can never be in conflict  with the belief that gives rise to it, nor to your will power. So the statement that, no matter how much I try I cannot seem to stop thinking negatively assumes that your thought is going  against your will, and this is impossible. Your will is in line with your belief and this is  springing up the negative imagination. Once you change the belief, the rest will follow  automatically.

It is useless to blame an outside situation or get angry at a part of your body or an illness and  not recognize that your body and your world always faithfully mirror your beliefs, as they were  designed to. Remember, however, that one belief can take on the manifestation of many forms.

A person who has cancer did not necessarily get it because they believed they would get  cancer. In fact, they may not even have a belief that is directly about cancer. However, the  cancer may be the manifestation of a belief that leads to great resentment of life, which is  mirrored back as cancer. Although the connections may not be so apparent, your conscious

mind, if you ask it and listen, will always have an accurate answer as to the link between an  experience you are having and the belief behind it.

All information coming from your inner Self and arising to the surface of your conscious mind  will be interpreted and served to you according to your beliefs.

If you do not learn to work with your beliefs consciously and directly in your mind, you will be  forced to work with them indirectly and unconsciously as you react to the physical  manifestations that they create. The consciously and direct approach is far easier and more  efficient. It also allows you to quickly create the reality of your choice since you will be  deliberately creating reality by first creating it within you by forming specific beliefs, emotions  and imagination.

Every illness arises from a belief. All diseases are symptoms of an error in thought, a false  belief about life and self. Western medicine primarily focuses only on the symptom, and the  symptom is only the effect and not the cause. If medication is used to eradicate the dis-ease  (which is the symptom of the true problem), the belief behind it must also be healed or  transformed otherwise the body will simply substitute the disease with something else (as it  must to keep its reflection with the inner self). Your body, mind and soul are all self-correcting  and self-healing if left on their own without interference from limiting beliefs. You limit your  natural healing abilities to the extent that you don’t trust and believe they work. As long as you  believe that you can only be saved by an outside power, you will deny your own power and  experience that.

When you alter your beliefs today you also reprogram your past. As far as you are concerned  the present is your point of action, focus, and power, and from that point of volition you form  both your future and past. Realizing this, you will understand that you are not at the mercy of a  past over which you have no control.

The only thing that separates people is beliefs. The only thing that separates you from anything  is yourself.

Your Memory is also structured by your beliefs. You will tend to remember only what fits your  beliefs and those memories will justify and prove, to you, your beliefs.

Transparent beliefs: A belief is transparent when you are operating through that belief yet not  noticing it. Transparent beliefs are often mistaken to be facts of life if at all they are noticed, or  sometimes just not even noticed at all. Transparent beliefs appear to you to be unquestionable  truths. It is only after you pull away and observe with detachment (not defending your belief  with ‘proof’, not seeking to be ‘right’) that you see that the ‘proof’ you have is actually being  produce by and because of the belief!

Invisible beliefs: These are beliefs that you are fully aware of but choose to ignore because  they are within areas of life that you have a problem with that you have not been willing to  work on and face. Whenever you are willing to see the full and complete contents of your  conscious mind, you easily start to see these beliefs. One great way to see them is to list all  your beliefs in certain areas of your life. Do so over a period of time and you will notice that  even within particular areas you do hold conflicting beliefs. At different times, you believe  different things about the same area of life. Look at these conflicts in belief and see what unites  them. You will notice that there is an invisible belief that is holding together the conflicting

ones. This underlying invisible belief spawns these others.

Bridge beliefs: These are beliefs that bridge the gap between some of your other beliefs.

Bridge beliefs are usually charged with great emotion and energy. To find your bridge beliefs,  first hold the intention of seeing them. Tell your mind to expose them and let them emerge.

Then, look for similarities between your beliefs (the ones that you know about). See how these  similarities are bridging (connecting) your beliefs together. The similarities that connect your  beliefs (even the ones that seem to contradict) will show you what your bridge beliefs are. You  are not normally consciously aware of bridge beliefs unless you consciously examine your  mind for them. You can also find bridge beliefs by looking at areas in your life where you are  in conflict with yourself with great emotion. For example, it is normal to like to be neat in  appearance. However, some people have exaggerated emotions about being neat (or appearing  in a certain way) and feel almost devastated when they think that they haven’t matched their  neatness expectations. Such inner conflicts that are charged with great emotion indicate the  presence of a bridge belief. In our example with the compulsively neat people, the bridge belief  may be an assumption they have made about themselves and life, and this assumption underlies  many other beliefs they hold. Before being aware of a bridge belief, a person assumes that their  thoughts are facts of life and never think they are dealing with a belief. Once you are aware of

a bridge belief, you are in a powerful position of being able to see how many of your other  beliefs work together, where they came from, and even be able to easily change them. Once the  bridge is discovered, examined and changed, then all the other beliefs connected by it are  automatically altered. Also, once discovered, they allow you to see invisible beliefs that you

may not have seen before.
