A Core Belief Exercise

If you find yourself wanting to believe, for instance, that you can create your own circumstances in life, first try to sense if you can FEEL that you believe that. You may sit there and say “I know I create my own circumstances in life” but if you can not feel sure of that, other thoughts, as to why you don’t feel that way, will come to mind if you ask yourself for the information.

The first thought that might surface may be “oh, that is ridiculous” or “that is so far-fetched”. Simply ask yourself WHY that is ridiculous. You will answer yourself. Listen to that answer. It may be more double talk like, “that is impossible”. Ask why. Eventually you will come to more and more precise answers that will speak to you of your deepest beliefs. Don’t force this exercise. Make it enjoyable and fun. It is chance to look at who you are as a personality.

It is like cleaning out your mental room. You will find stuff (thoughts and beliefs) in there that you may either discard and replace or keep and reinforce. You may become surprised at the structures of your own belief system. This is an exercise in taking conscious control and evaluating your own beliefs. You will find you can discard or retain beliefs and insert or adjust beliefs as opposed to letting them form larger and larger “compounded” structures around, what may be, an unwanted core.

The Flavor Of Your Personality Attitude

The personality that you have developed up to this point in your present physical life has an overall feeling attitude. You may be a pessimist, or optimist or a cynic or skeptic or maybe just a humble and good natured person. I am not talking about how you are perceived by others and I am certainly not mentioning all of the types of attitudes that you may “portray“.

You may or may not be a very open-minded person. You may consider yourself to be a realist. This, of course, would be whatever you believe and portray a realist to be. Only you know what that portrayal is and only you can feel your personality’s attitude. You may consider yourself to be quite open minded while someone else may consider you to be gullible, naive, shortsighted or close-minded.

It is your own honest appraisals that I am after here. Your true personality attitude or overall feeling attitude affects the outcome or “flavoring” of the circumstances that you will manifest and experience. This attitude is connected to your central or core beliefs. These central beliefs are the nucleus or core of your conscious personality, and greatly influence what you are willing to accept or believe as you go through life and encounter the myriad of possibilities that you consider.

The Complexity Of Your Being

You search for the answers to the complexity of your own being and consciousness and every time you approach those answers, your cynical, skeptical, realist personality emerges and you try to dispute, immediately, what may just be the most realistic considerations that you might possibly make.

Inside of you, you feel and know that you are a most complex and magnificent being and yet whenever anyone attempts to explain any of those complexities in other than, what you would consider to be, “realistic” terms, you may take offense or become tremendously skeptical. This is why I say you seek first some authority, that you can put your belief in, before you will consider certain aspects of your own being.

The Origin Of Mankind

There are people who have an intense interest in the “origin” of mankind. They spend their life researching the history of our species in order to try to make a determination of how the species evolved. Others will try to direct their search in such a way that they can determine who or what created mankind.

They may consider themselves to be evolutionists or creationists or a combination of both. They may relish other theories beyond this classic clash, but regardless, these individuals are seeking “proof” of how this human creature came into (physical) existence. They are looking for concrete evidence or some form of authority beyond what they may feel inside. They may or may not be “in touch” with any inner feelings that speak to them of the origin of their own existence.

This persistent fascination with the origin of man is based on a super-conscious “knowingness” within each individual. Each individual can intuitively feel various aspects of the great story behind who and what is a human being. Some individuals search for the proof or evidence of their own origin because they believe that by uncovering that particular answer, many other mysteries will be laid open to them.

Opposing Truths Can All Be True

As you see the apparent contradictions of each person’s beliefs or knowledge, of each religion’s or philosopher’s interpretation of “fact” in regard to issues that can never be proven to you, understand that this is the free will of choice and decision, of imagination and belief regarding all those issues.

Consider the possibility that you exist within, are a part of, and at the same time “contain” the consciousness that can be, all versions, interpretations and realities, simultaneously, imagined by that consciousness itself, in all of its forms.

Money Or Health

Maybe you don’t need or care about money and you just want better health? Why, for what reason? What will you want to do with that health? It is that experience and those specifics that will create the health and perpetuate it. Now I know this sounds too utterly simplistic but there is something, not so obvious, missing here. One of the things you will do (hopefully) when you are healthy is THINK, BELIEVE or KNOW you are healthy. This is what will, not only, perpetuate the circumstance but is the “formula thinking” that creates it.

Not believing or knowing is what has caused your current situation if you are not healthy. That is hard to do, you say? What? Believe you are healthy when you are not? Didn’t you work that in reverse before? At some time, weren’t you healthy and started to believe that you were not? Oh you say you were born unhealthy? Is it an irreversible condition? Who told you that? You believed them? Why? Oh, you didn’t know any better? O.k. fine. Do you know better now?

The Specifics Of Your Generalized Desires

Health, happiness and wealth can be your ultimate goal or circumstance but there is a “lifestyle” that is connected to those general outcomes that you must “exist within”. There are daily activities that are tightly connected to those general circumstances, and in. those activities lie the answers to what you really want.

You can imagine having health or wealth or happiness but what you are “doing” as you have these things, is what permeates the overall general circumstance and perpetuates your enjoyment of these general circumstances. If you have a horse and you say the horse makes you happy, is it because you ride the horse, look at the horse or brush the horse or feed the horse or all of the above and more. What are the components and elements and experiences that make up or “constitute” the satisfying aspects of the overall circumstance? That is the “heart” or “breakdown” of your truest desires.

This is why I say “picture”, in your mind, having whatever it is that you want and live in the situation and experience it in your own mind. Dissect your own desires and find the core of the experience that satisfies you. That core, will tell you more about yourself than any singular object or general category of desire.

Three Wishes

If you have difficulty trying to figure out what you want, you might try the old “genie with the three wishes” ploy. It sounds childish, I know, but if you really want to know what you want and you can’t seem to imagine what that would be, then try this alternative. This can be useful at identifying different points within an imagined circumstance.

For all the people who say, my first wish will be to take a million more wishes… go right ahead and take them but I doubt you will really need that many. Take as many as you need. You should realize that you can grant yourself any imagined circumstance that you want instantly. You don’t need a genie or wishes to be able to do that.

You may not think that that is any big deal but it is actually the biggest of all deals, only you may not be aware of that. Anyway, with the wish ploy, the object is that when you hit a stumbling point of not being able to sense, what next, what now, what do I want etc., imagine that you may instantly and immediately HAVE ANYTHING but the only requirement is that first you must visualize that thing or circumstance in your mind.

Imagining Creates what you Imagine

How would you classify a circumstance? At what point does it leave the non-physical and invisible? At what point can a circumstance be experienced? It can and must be “lived in” or experienced, first, in the non-physical world of your imagination.

Look at a circumstance as an imaginary set of conditions that you create in your mind and that you “place” in the physical world and then live within. This placing or manifesting occurs instantly as your thoughts leave your mind to find and coalesce with the physical equivalent of your desires, beliefs and expectations. There is a buffer of some amount of time before your circumstances come completely to fruition.  The amount of time it takes for complete fruition is based solely on your vibration.  You might call this vibration the “sum total of your thoughts”, at present.

How You Are Conditioned At An Early Age

The external clock awareness is “conditioned in” at a very early age. School starts at a certain time, bedtime occurs at a certain time and waking time is gauged by the following days activities. Even meals occur at a certain external clock time. Forget about when the child is hungry. When he was an infant, if his parents where perceptive, feeding time was when he wanted it to be. He would let them know when he was hungry. It did not occur at 8 a.m for breakfast, 12 noon for lunch and 6 p.m for supper.

These conditioning factors stay with the individual for many years, even an entire physical lifetime. Today many people are questioning these “conventions” that the society has imposed upon them. It is easy to say that the individual accepted these conditions and decided and chose them but it goes beyond that. Children can not tell the school system when they want to eat lunch or what hours they want to go to school. Just as adults can not tell their employer when they want to eat or work (usually).

So, to say that these were choices and decisions by the individual is to say that the individual determines the path of least resistance as he conforms to the society’s rules. As he gets older he yearns to be free in more ways than one. He longs for the internal personal freedom of eating and sleeping and waking and dreaming when he wants to do those things. To have that type of freedom in our society is truly a great luxury.
