BELIEFS
Ā
But still, I donāt know why this.. how can someone escape to do what he/she is so
passionate about?
IĀ am so keen to have this answer coz the same happens in my lifeā¦ Still happeningā¦ I
m so passionate about reading Spiritual stuff and publishing it at my own website but
Somehow Always lack time to do thisā¦ And feel bad for not giving time to my passionā¦
and itās not just my passion anymoreā¦ I feel it is the purpose of my lifeā¦ Purpose of my
existence in this lifetimeā¦
In order to understand the why and the how of all this, you need to understand what beliefs are.
Beliefs are a strong conviction in a certain idea, in a certain concept.
Letās take an example
It is said that drinking coffee
For some, itās even in the afternoon that its effect will start; for others, they can have their cup of coffee at 10h00pm and sleep at 11h00pm or even at midnight and they will sleep very well!
How is that possible
Why caffeine affected some and not others
Its a fact that caffeine is present in the coffee, so why there is no effect all the time? Or it works, or it doesnāt! It can not work sometimes and at other times, it doesnāt! So where is the change happening
In the persons themselves, itās obvious!
Ā
Now, physiologically speaking, we are all the same, we all have the same organs. Why the āresponseā of each person is different
Wellā¦ it lies only in the character.
And what makes the character of a person
The ādataā; he accumulates, right?
A character is something that is built and is always able to change.
(I know about geneticsā¦ about heredityā¦ I knowā¦ but scientists got it completely wrong
Ā
The character of a person is ābuiltā from his country, his religion (if any), his family, his circle of friends, his school, his university, his environment, work, society, etcā¦ PLUS all that he has experienced before: his past (parallel) lives.
So, with the power of his will and his mind, the person decides that caffeine will affect him or will not affect him, according to his character (to what he has āaccumulatedā as information).
How
Just by believing that it will or that it will not! Itās that simple! Just by giving it a meaning, a definition, a tag, a reason, an explanation.
Why he has chosen this meaning or the other one
Because it makes sense for him.
And why it makes sense for him
Because it resonates with him.
It resonates with what
With what is true for him, with what is right, with what is correct, with what makes him feel good, safe, secure.
Now, in general, this specific kind of belief is not a āroot beliefā.
A root belief is the very first belief which can remain alone and ādo its workā, or can be related to other beliefs.
There is ALWAYS a root belief.
Now, when this root belief starts to have ramifications (other beliefs), this whole āthingā forms what is called a āpatternā.
And, of course, when a belief should be changed, we should always go to the root belief, otherwise, there will be no change in anything, orā¦ slight changes.
Sometimesā¦ in some cases, a non-root belief can lead to the root one. Once found, and if we are ready, we change it.
How
Just by deciding to change it!
Change it = give it another definition. Thatās it! Period. It is that simple!
And if youāre asking how to find the root belief (cuz youāre asking this now, heheā¦), just by digging within yourself and asking the following question
āWhat am I believing in, to have this experience?ā
The answer will come.
It might come swiftly or it might take some time. And this (the answer) depends on how honest and transparent you are with yourself when you asked the question, and on the power of your will at the moment the question was asked and on your readiness.
When you ask, you just āthrow the questionā, so to speak. I mean: Just ask!Ā Andā¦ throw it!
DROP IT!
Ask and donāt mind (worry) about how and/or when the answer will come, AT ALL! AT ALL!
No expectations AT ALL!
Ā
Now, donāt be discouraged by this, believe me, many, many beliefs are found! In fact, most of themā¦ if not all.
Ā
Letās go back to our coffee
Is this person aware that he has a belief system telling him that coffee wonāt make him sleep
Of course not.
Does this person understand why coffee affects him and does not affect others
Of course not.
Is this person doing this on purpose to himself
Of course not.
Though he likes coffee
For him, it happens in an āautomaticā way, so to speak. This is how it isā¦ Thatās my lifeā¦ thatās meā¦ Iām like thisā¦
Of course, Iām referring here to a (very) non ā aware person.
To reply to your question āBut still i donāt know why this.. how can someone escape to do what he/she is so passionate aboutā¦.ā
Itās the same for this passionate person. He definitely has a belief that is preventing him from acting on his passion.
Again, the same procedure/technique: he should ask himself āWhat is preventing me from acting on my highest excitement? What am I believing in, to have this experience?ā
A belief, a strong conviction in something, is an awesome tool for our growth.
If you want to do something. anythingā¦ you need to be convinced in order to do it, or else, you wouldnāt do it!
You canāt do it by force, right?
You want to KNOW why you do it. You want to know WHY.
What will give you an answer, what will convince you, what will comfort you, what will make you feel safe while doing it, is a belief, and a strong one, of course.
The more āstrongā, the more convincing it is, and so the more you will do what you have to do with ease. And you will have no problem at all while doing it, even if the whole planet
For you, it is true, it is correct.
Ā
About āIĀ am so keen to have this answer coz the same happens in my lifeā¦ Still happeningā¦ I m so passionate about reading Spiritual stuff and publishing it at my own website but Somehow Always lack time to do thisā¦ And feel bad for not giving time to my passion.. and its not just my passion anymoreā¦ I feel it is the purpose of my lifeā¦
Purpose of my existence in this lifetime..ā
Lack of timeā¦ but this is not a problem. I do have the same problem tooā¦ lol
We should find a compromise between family-work-our passion, there is no other way. Butā¦ I think youāre doing it and itās working perfectly fine, no? Remember, you have a family to take care of. You have your kidsā¦ your husbandā¦ cookingā¦ your everyday tasks at homeā¦ friendsā¦ social lifeā¦ personal time (time to stay alone, if you feel the need)ā¦ maybe doing some exerciseā¦
Unlessā¦ you have a belief which says āI should do it all the timeā¦ full timeā¦ alwaysā¦ nonstopā¦ the more I do it, the more Iāll have infoā¦ and the more I have info, the more Iāll understand thingsā¦ and this will help me in my growthā¦ Cuz I want to thriveā¦ I want to evolveā¦ nowā¦ sooner the betterā¦
Ā
When we act on our passion, it does not mean that we should devote all our time for it.
Wanting to devote all our time for it, if ādecorticatedā, means: I donāt see myself as powerful, I need to do moreā¦ always moreā¦ Iām never satisfiedā¦ I donāt know where and when to put limits for the timeā¦
Here is how acting on our passion, is ārecommendedā to be done: See what unfolds in front of us and act on our highest excitement.
See what opportunities we have in front of us, and act accordingly. If two opportunities are presented, pick the one that excites you the most.
It goes without saying: regardless of its nature, how it looks like. Donāt say āItās sillyā¦ Why now? How this could serve me? What people might sayā¦ā
Here is also another way: Wait to see what will unfold in front of us, what is going to be presented to us.
Waitā¦ not really in the sense of āwaitingāā¦ kind of āexpectingā something to happenā¦ no.
And, if possible, seeing each situation as a new opportunity, as a new discovery, as a new exploration, as a new āchanceā to changeā¦
Why
Because, not doing so, would be expecting something to come upā¦ and waiting for it. And if we are expecting somethingā¦ it means we are relying on somethingā¦ which is nothing but a belief.
While we know that what is recommended, is to not expect (no more relying on beliefs) and trust that anything which will show up can only be for our own good because itās coming from our higher source which has the big picture. And also, that this higher source can never harm itself (because I am part of it). So, how could it harm us?
(Higher source = soulā¦ higher selfā¦ Godā¦ it doesnāt matterā¦)
Youāre saying itās not your passion anymore. Are you sure? Maybe it is still your passion, but BECAUSE you are not able to give it the NECESSARY time (that YOU have fixed, according to a certain standard, a certain belief), you preferred to change it.
ORā¦ it is really not your passion anymore, which is perfectly okay. Passions are not always meant to last a whole life. They can last from a few seconds (doing something very exciting for just a few seconds or minutes) to a whole life.
In conclusion, beliefs are extremely important. They are the basis of everything. They are so important that our experiences are based on them. It is impossible to grow without them.
Ā
If the following question is raised āWhere do beliefs come from?ā
This One is our source.
It is experiencing/exploring/knowing itself THROUGH each one of us. Each one of us is like a āportionā of this One. Hence, we are linked and related. We feel as if we were disconnected, but this EXPERIENCE of disconnection is āallowedā on purpose in order to play our role āproperlyā.
Once we REALLY trust this whole process, we understand that finally, we are the ones distributing these beliefs to ourselves and that it has NOT been āimposedā in any way by someone else. And if we have put them, we can change them.
If another question is raised āWhat to do when I see someone āstuckā in his beliefs?ā
I respect him because he is a creation of the One, as I am. I respect his āpositionā (where he is) in the spiritual path. I respect his pace. I donāt blame him (and no one is to be blamed in whatsoever case, never, everā¦).
When you act as who you really are, just by acting, just by being, just by your presence, you will āemanateā, you will radiate certain energy, certain vibes (which he will catch, whether he is aware of them or not).
When you do this, you will present your ultimate, your pure, your best āaspectā of yourself.
He will ātakeā from it what he NEEDS to take. He can ONLY, RECEIVE what is he ABLE/READY to receive.
Remember, he has his own experiences and his own pace and his readiness does not come from him. Wanting or expecting anything else than this (only what he is able to take), is ānot goodā for him and neither for you.
Technically, doing this, at any degree, would in fact send a thought-form with its intention, which will stick to him (to one or more of his energetic bodies) AND to you. And this thought-form, having its own intelligence, will start to grow; and no one knows how it will endā¦ (Of course, it will depend on the interaction between the nature of the seeds (āpoints of intentionā) you sent and the seeds he has.
What you can do, is imagine him HOW YOU WANT HIM TO BE. Imagine him in the state you would like to see him in. This will do for both of you. It will serve you both.
Ā
By deciding, we will see and experience the results of our choices. We will understand that WE are the choosers and that we are NOT the victims of anyone elseās choice. And the best way to fully grasp any choice is to experience it ourselves.
I hope this helped you, and thank you for asking. Thank you also for your presence.
PS: One dayā¦ when you will fully grasp everythingā¦ you will cry of joy when you will
see (experience) the HUGENESS of everything and its perfection. You will experience
who you are, who the āothersā are and you will be ācompelledā to see these āothersā as
you; and you will āunderstandā that you cannot NOT love them. You will love them as
you loved* yourself.
(āLovedā and not āloveā, because you ALREADY have started to realize who you truly
are. This is self-realization)
And now, I will end with this
