You — The Belief System

We're not talking about your religion or faith here. We're talking about that which determines the very reality that you are experiencing right now at this very moment – the temperature of the ai; the hardness of the floor, the health of your body.

A belief is a definition of a portion of your personal reality. Your belief system is composed of the definitions which exactly define your personal universe. Your personal universe is all of that which you perceive, and that includes your own version of the physical universe.

What you believe is what you experience.

Your beliefs are arranged in a system that allows you to perceive different things for different situations, and they dictate exactly how you will feel and act in relation to those situations. Examples: In the winter it's cold; cool is nice, but when I'm too cold I shiver. In the summer it's hot; warm is nice, but when I'm too hot I perspire. When I think of Mr. Doe, I think of the truck I bought from him and I feel what I felt when I hit the dot and I think of all the things I haven't done with th truck that I wanted to do and I get mad at myself and I make mistakes at whatever I'm dong for the rest of the day. If the sun shines I know I'm going to have a good day – unless I think of Mr. Doe. I've never been rich so I never will be. Mrs. Doe always makes me smile but then I think of Mr. Doe. ...

What you believe is what you see. Unless you already believe it you won't see it. However, seeing may reinforce the belief.

You are restricted to the physical ony because you believe you are. Only when you change that belief does the restriction change or lift.

Yes, that's right. You can change your beliefs and your belief system.

What has worked for me is to be aware that all things are equally valid and that there is always more than one way to look at things. That seems to loosen my belief system and make my beliefs more pliable. I find that my belief system often changes according to my desire – not always, but often.

Accepting what is and trusting in the light can result in a flexible belief system.

This area of belief systems is something that I want to understand better. To me, it is not simple at all; and that means there are things I don't understand. If you have a technique or an understanding about beliefs or belief systems that make the subject easier or simpler, I sure would appreciate you sharing it with me. And share it with other Lightworkers too, if you would, so that it is available to humanity.
