BELIEF SYSTEM = MIND’S MENU

WHEN WE WERE VERY YOUNG - WE DIDN’T “THINK”; WE ABSORBED BY OSMOSIS WHAT WAS GOING ON AROUND US. WE PICKED UP THE VIBRATIONS THAT MOM AND DAD AND OTHERS WERE THROWING OUT. MOM AND DAD LIVED IN THE LAND OF LOGIC BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T HAVE TIME TO SIT AROUND MEDITATING * SEARCHING FOR HIGHER MEANING * ACCESSING AWARENESS. THEY HAD TO MAKE A LIVING; BLAME SOMEONE ELSE WHEN THINGS WENT WRONG (MOST OF THE TIME) AND FREQUENTLY BECOME VERY ANGRY OR DISENCHANTED WITH THEIR LOT.

THEY DEVELOPED “LOGICAL” COPING MECHANISMS BECAUSE THAT’S ALL THEY KNEW. THUS, THEY WERE IN AN IDEAL SPOT FOR SOCIETAL CONDITIONING TO DICTATE WHAT WOULD “ MAKE THEM HAPPY AND WHAT WAS TRULY IMPORTANT IN LIFE. “

THUS -- THE CHURCH SAID: “COME TO CHURCH AND BE GOOD AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY. THE CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS SAID: “BE A GOOD CITIZEN, ABOVE ALL; CONTRIBUTE TO .............. CHARITY; PAY YOUR TAXES AND SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL POLITICAL MAN-IN-POWER AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY.

THE POLITICIANS SAID: “VOTE FOR ME AND YOU WILL HAVE EVERYTHING” THE GIANT CORPORATIONS SAID: “BUY MY PRODUCT !!! YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT EVERYBODY ELSE HAS THIS LIFE INSURANCE POLICY * EVERYBODY ELSE HAS A SECOND HOME * EVERYBODY ELSE LIVES IN THIS (THIS ONE ONLY) CORRECT ! CONDO * EVERYONE ELSE BUT YOU HAS...........................AND THE LIST IS ENDLESS. 

SO HOW DID YOU DEVELOP WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS TRUE * YOUR “BELIEF SYSTEM”? YOU SIMPLY DID WHAT MOM AND DAD DID. THERE WAS NO INTELLECTUAL STRUCTURING AT THAT VERY EARLY AGE. BUT AS YOU MOVED ON IN LIFE --- WERE YOU NOT IMPRESSED TO BELIEVE THE MESSAGE OF THE COLLECTIVE MATERIAL WORLD ? DID NOT YOUR TEACHERS, YOUR FRIENDS, THE MEDIA, THAT GIGANTIC WORLD OF MEGABUCKS DEDICATED TO “CHANGING YOUR MIND; THE GOVERNMENTAL POLICIES WHICH SOMETIMES SAID “ANYTHING IS OK IF I CAN JUSTIFY IT WITH CLEVER WORDS” - THE ESTABLISHED RELIGIOUS BODIES WHICH ALL SAID: “FOLLOW O-U-R WAY ONLY AND YOU WILL BE SAVED. DID YOU NOT ACTUALLY COME TO BELIEVE THAT IF YOU HAD ALL THE TOYS --- ALL THE “SECURITIES” IN LIFE --- COULD AFFORD THE LATEST --- THEN YOU WOULD BE HAPPY ?

 YOUR BELIEF THAT THIS WAS SO IS WHAT A BELIEF SYSTEM IS. YOU ARE FILLED WITH THOUSANDS OF THEM. THEY CONSTITUTE THE PATTERN OF THE COSMIC ENTITY WHICH ON THIS PLANE IS CALLED: “MARY * JOE * BILL * BOB *PEGGY * EVERYONE. AS THE MARYS AND BOBS AND ALL THE REST OF US REACH A CERTAIN POINT OF DISCONTENT AS WE DISCOVER THAT THESE THINGS WE BELIEVED WERE TRUE --BECAUSE WE HAD BEEN TOLD THEY WERE BY (SEEMINGLY) EVERYONE --- WERE INDEED NOT TRUE --- WE WERE READY TO ASK IF THERE WAS PERHAPS ANOTHER WAY.

EXAMINING WHAT BELIEF SYSTEMS YOU ARE HOLDING IS THAT OTHER WAY. IF YOU CAN FIND A WAY TO DIG INTO THE PSYCHE AND DISCOVER THOSE HIDDEN VARIABLES --- THEN YOU HAVE A CHANCE OF CORRECTING THEM.WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS WHAT YOU WILL THINK; AND WHAT YOU THINK IS WHAT YOU WILL ACT UPON; AND WHAT YOU THINK AND ACT ON --- IS WHO YOU ARE.  DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE ?
