The ABC’s of Actively Being Conscious – Day 4
Now, it’s apparent that some beliefs can be truly helpful. If they weren’t, we wouldn’t have such helpful results as are provided by the placebo effect, for example.
But a lot of beliefs are harmful. If you believe in something negative, you’ll continue to strengthen that reality’s likelihood of showing up in your life. You’ll see what you expect to see. This happens even with subconscious beliefs, such as “I’m not good enough”, or “I have bad genes”.
These beliefs become rigid patterns at our energetic levels and then they manifest difficulties.
But in either case, positive or negative, whenever you believe in something, you’re strengthening duality, not one-ness. It’s like you’re drawing a circle around some part of what you perceive of as reality, and declaring that everything outside it is not true, or can’t exist. Ever.
By definition, it’s limiting. And If we believe there’s no such thing as — for example — magic or miracles, we’re not as likely to experience them.
But wouldn’t you rather have a mind opened by wonder than closed by belief? Can you see the value in opening to new possibilities?
Today we’re going to open our minds by playing with the concept of belief a bit. We’re going to loosen its hold on us.
Things change. We change — if we allow it. Maybe something’s shown itself to seem true in the past, but what if we open to a new possibility?
