Transforming Limiting Beliefs. One Thought at a Time.

~"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,..."~
-William Shakespeare 
 
~" And I gave my heart  to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly,...
I sought in my Heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting my heart with wisdom, and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under heaven all the days of their Life."~
-Proverbs of King Solomon

~"Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of hard sentences(riddles & rhymes,entrenched maxims,dark proverbs), and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom King(Nebuchadnezzar) named Belteshazzar(master of magicians), now let Daniel be called, and he will reveal and uncover the Interpretation."~
-Book of Daniel 


~"There are questions you need to ask your Self. Fundamental questions that are not normally addressed in our Society or the current Educational Systems we are exposed to. There are exceptions.
The answers to those questions define your very Being and purpose in Life.  
Who are you? What is your Purpose for being here, in this life, in this shape, form and body? 
What is the form in which you need to express your Life's purpose?
At the deepest parts of you...will you Choose to believe in Freewill or Pre-destination?
 You will live whatsoever you Believe..., consciously or unconsciously."~
- Giovanni Thode
Contemporary Aruban Philospopher

~"For in much Wisdom is much grief, and he that increases in knowledge increases sorrow."~
-Proverbs of King Solomon

Becoming aware of the unconscious assembly of your Belief Systems

~"Concentration...is defined as the 'act or process of concentration...mental application', concentration enables us to observe the details of an idea."~
-Websters Dictionary

It is imperative that everything you say to your Self and the manner in which you say it...should be consciously designed to focus on increasing your own level of concentration.

I want to talk to you about Beliefs.
What we believe is not necessarily real.

Can we have a bit of honest and open conversations about what your Beliefs are in terms of Spirituality?
We all get stuck in our belief systems, however sensible we think they are.

To me...the New Age community and Traditional Religious establishments are particularly guilty of not testing or challenging what they claim.
It's all about questioning.
But there are beliefs we are not encouraged to question and these are often the beliefs upon which we are asked to make important Life's decisions.
These are the areas we should test and look for misinformation, because often we are making Life decisions(consciously, mostly unconsciously) based upon information we are getting from seeming authority figures representing different religious belief systems.

What does something like Psychic healing, or Crystal healing, healing through pharmaceutical chemical medicine, Reiki, Homeopathic/Natural Medicine, or Divine healing mean to you?
If you don't think it's just a question of you sort of buy into it and believe in it, and it sort of works because you are expecting it to?
Do you think it is genuinely MORE than that? How do you sort of grasp that?

Let those questions bounce around in there for awhile and come back to the answer to the question:
What Do YOU think about it...
 Yes, to you personally!
Our own opinions rarely swim close to the top, so become aware of the answers you are giving your Self.
Are the opinions, judgements and beliefs your very own? Beliefs you chose and decided for yourself? Or are they someone else s voices, opinions, judgements and beliefs being echoed and reflected through you?

Whether we believe in Alien abduction, psychic energy, crystal energy, talking to the Dead or Christianity, we are rightly or wrongly buying into a very powerful set of belief systems.
As intelligent human beings we should be prepared to question our beliefs, and the people who encourage us to make Life decisions based on information they give us.

Your world will behave in a way that confirms your beliefs about it!

Beliefs structure your experience of the world. Therefore the powerful need to take conscious direct control over what beliefs are bouncing around in your inner world, in your thoughts and Imaginations.

~"As a man thinketh, so he becomes"~
-Proverbs of King Solomon

You literally become and act in your daily Life what you habitually think about.
Your character becomes the complete sum of all your thoughts.
Sadly, for most of us this process happens very unconsciously, we have been programmed by exterior influences and behave as if we consciously chose and agreed with those beliefs. 
We just never stopped to question why we believe what we believe.

Consciously examining your Hidden Beliefs and Victim Acts.

You are already responsible for your Life, totally. Right Now.
The only question is, will you acknowledge it?

You are responsible for your Life no matter what you say about it. 
Becoming aware of what your mind invents to avoid responsibility tends to be a very uncomfortable process.

By the way, let us be clear on some facts, the words "Love", along with "Responsibility" are the least understood among all words in the Language, therefore, what you probably THINK those words mean ...they really Do Not mean. 

Redefine what things mean to you.

"Responsibility" is the willingness to be the author of all your experiences, even the ones you do not like.

 ~"We act not according to what things really are but according to what we Expect them to be, Believe them to be, and Imagine them to be."~
-Dr.Deepak Chopra 

While you are still stuck running stories and rackets in your head, that others are to blame for your life not working or turning out, in one way or the other, in one area or the other... then you have surrendered all power over your own Life to someone else. Someone else has control over your life, not You. 
You unconsciously put together a Victim act by blaming others, in one form or the other(most do so by complaining). This is at the true core of poor self-esteem. 
Develop an awareness of what Is your Victim story. 

Remember, it took years to put together a Victim story, it won't clear up instantly. 
It starts with the willingness to consider the possibility that it can clear up. 
As you examine the unconscious process by which you put together your beliefs, it is important to not direct any anger towards yourself. Becoming aware of how we have consciously or unconsciously lied to ourselves releases a lot of anger. 
Be patient with your Self.


Decide what to Focus on. What things Mean to You.

~"It is the Questions that drive us."~
-Morpheus. The Matrix

What are the areas in your Life in which you would like to experience a Transformation?

Who would you be if you Knew you could not Fail?

Who would you be if you knew no Limits?

Who would you be if everything was possible and nothing was impossible?

The clearer and more defined the questions you ask...the clearer and more defined shall be the Answers the Universe will return to you.

The most powerful life-altering decisions and agreements you could ever make...are the decisions and agreements you make with your Self.

Control the moment by moment manifestation of your reality and world, and the moment by moment operation of your Mind by consciously choosing...

A) Your Decisions about what to focus on.
B)  Your decisions about what things mean to you.
C) Your Decisions about what to do to create the desired outcome.

Or from,

A) Know where you want to Go!
B) Know where you are! 
C) Know how you're going to get there!

Or said another way,

A) Raise your standards
B) Change your Limiting Beliefs
C) Change your strategy

Consciously take time out to dwell and concentrate on these questions...
Observe what Answers emerge from deep within you...

Become aware of your inner dialogue. The narration of your Inner Voices. The stories you tell your self. What you say and the manner in how you say it to your Self.

Examine and Observe what comes up...
For some, this process may be a bit disturbing as they are forced to confront barriers they have created for themselves. Barriers that prevent them from experiencing and expressing their true inner beauty and Life's Purpose.

Choosing to Live a Purpose Driven Life!

~"Confusion is that wonderful state of mind before Clarity."~

As you start to become aware of your inner dialogue and voice-over narrations after some time meditating upon these questions...

You will start to become aware of your own resignations and cynicism. Your self-created barriers.
You become aware of how our lives are filled with contradictory desires every second of every day, and we experience only some of the contradictions as problems only some of the time.
Every now and then we in effect choose to experience a contradiction as a problem.

Consciously stop and examine the nature and origin of these inner contradictions, opinions, judgments, and beliefs that surface in you...

Allow yourself to become fully aware of how attached you are to your standards, ideals, opinions, beliefs and judgements. Notice what you are attached to and the degree to which you are attached.
When these attachments become apparent and known...we can begin to see the unconscious  process by which they were assembled and the degree to which they govern our daily lives, how they affect what we see and don't see, what we consider and what we fail to notice, what we are able to do and what seems beyond our reach.

Become aware of stories and thought-narrations your mind makes up that cause you to doubt, fear and disbelieve.
Become aware of your self made paradigms of failure and fear. 
Become aware of the all-pervasive filters that profoundly color(or obscure) our relationships with people, circumstances and even ourselves.
 
As you become aware of what is behind your beliefs, choices and actions... you gain an ongoing access to the power to choose Who you are and Who you can Be.
You are now left, perhaps for the first time... with a choice in what you Believe.

~"It is what you do that defines you."~
-The Dark Knight

Will you choose...right now...to take responsibility for your choices, and the thoughts you habitually entertain moment by moment and how your Life turns out in the end?

Who will you Choose to Be(come)?

Your actions are defined by who and what you Think You are! 

~"Let every man be fully persuaded and convinced in his own mind."~
-St.Paul

~"Your capabilities and skills are constant, and how much of them you use depends upon the Identity you have for yourself."~
-Dr.Joseph O Connor 

Choose to take a stand for values that will transform the world around you, the experience of the world as you know it.

Choose to relate your personal growth to the growth and evolution of your family, community, organization, Country and Planet.

 Choose to make it your objective to empower and enable people to generate and fulfill new possibilities.
Learn the art of consistently creating and providing Metaphors and Paradigms that produce extraordinary results in the lives of those around you!

Choose to Be the power of transformation that keeps people alive, real and present in a space of constant wonder, fascination and magic.

Take a stand to share yourself as a Miracle and you will experience a miraculous Life!

Every day choose to be the living manifestation of the experience of Love, Power, Fearlessness and Passion.

Be a Miracle. Be a Living Miracle.

Be free from constraints of your past. You are not your story, you are not your stuff. You are not your Past. History should not define the Present. You are responsible for the Mind that created the stuff, you are however not your stuff. 

You are a Miracle itself. You are a Love-Feast. You are a Miracle worker. You are a Warrior of the Light. You are a Channel for Higher Good.  You are the living incarnation of the most noble Ideals and Ideas.

You are a the carrier of Divine Language.
A Living Spark of God...able to create your moment by moment reality with your Imagination, and the power of your Words spoken forth...

Give Miracles to others and thereby experience a miraculous Life.

Be the Agent of Transformation that causes breakthroughs beyond predictable logic.

Do what it takes to make your Life work moment by moment, day by day!
