I think beliefs take us to a known place. what if we question all the beliefs? what if we let them all go once we perceive them? not only the ones that seem negative, but also the ones that seem positive. I don't know if we are talking about the same thing, but beliefs, the way I see, can be an attempt to scape from the infinite possibilities of being, living, experiencing things.

it's hard for me to send you this, because somehow I believe that I can't bring my view to someone who seems to have experienced a lot of similar things to what I've been experiencing, but not exactly this time. also the belief that I only can say right things or I shouldn't say anything. and these are only samples. but letting them appear and go is allowing me to open myself up for sending you and just observing what comes next.

thank you for that

Beliefs make the unknown feel more comfortable. It reduces some of the magic we experience every moment into something known & familiar. They're how we make sense of the frequency that is being perceived by our senses. They are mental constructs & hence can never be True beyond our own consciousness.

Some are simple & useful for cooperation & communication with other humans. Shared beliefs that are so ingrained & common that they're unquestioned or even perceivable. I suspect that our mind consciousness is incapable of existing without them.

I believe I think, therefore I believe I am 😆

I don't even think it's possible to experience this realm without assembling a collection of beliefs. I like to think of our beliefs as the lens on the projector that is screening our life moment by moment. If the lens is covered in distortions, the movie can be quite ugly & painful. The clearer our projector lens is, the more detail & clarity we can experience.

My goal isn't to rid my mind of beliefs but more to assemble beliefs that will provide the most joyful & expansive experience.

I was only able to get there after accepting this belief:

We (our mind consciousness) are the passengers & not the drivers of our meat suits. The driver is our Soul, our higher consciousness.

I felt like rocording an audio ahahaha but it's getting too long. I'll try to write.

I think I see beliefs as you said. it's part of our human condition to believe. but it is also part of our human condition to experience life beyond the beliefs. beliefs are images of life, not life itself. if I believe someone is something before I talk to her, all of our encounter will be restricted to that thought. it may be comfortable, but it won't be all it can be. and if I'm saying all this without experiencing it all while I say this, it's just a reproduction of a belief and I'm not open to really be with you right here right now.

I think there are limiting beliefs & beliefs that offer a more expansive experience. This is at the core of some of the work that's been done around mindsets.

The stories we tell ourselves are often full of assumptions and incorrect information. At the root of these stories are beliefs that don't serve us, that prevent us from experiencing the fullness of this reality. Uncovering them can be tricky though.

We are often too caught up in ourselves to really connect with the other. Beliefs around our own lack of worthiness can often get in the way. I like to meet people with a sense of neutrality but it can be difficult to maintain in many circumstances.

I suspect that we carry many small illogical beliefs that we've picked up from past traumas. These hurt parts of ourselves need to be acknowledged with compassion before the larger more expansive belief can be slotted in.

I've found positive affirmations to be a good way to sniff out these hurt parts. Saying "I deserve the love & support of the universe" will not resonate if you carry traumas that appear to show otherwise. You can't force a belief in when your perceived experience says something else.

one day I felt something I call unconditional love. it was this state of peace and acceptance of all. after that I kept trying to go to that place again, to hold that, but that was an illusion. I could only feel that again when I was free from the past experience. because every experience is different from each other, although the truth is always the same.

it is true that we all deserve love and support from the universe, but when we believe that and don't go beyond the belief to experience that instantaneously, we get lost in an image, in an idea of what is this to deserve love and support. it may comfort us, but it want really deeply touch us.

I think there is a belief here that I'm not really seeing, because I see that I'm insisting (maybe stuck?). but I'll send that anyway cause I think it is also a call for some change.

We can experience that unconditional love feeling whenever we want. We have to believe we're deserving of that love though. It's not an illusion - that love is what is real.

The easiest way for me to feel it, is to feel it reflected. The easiest entity to love unconditionally, is Gaia. She is the devine feminine, our holy mother. Physically connect to her & then fill your heart with love & gratitude for her. Let it flow to her without condition or restraint. 💚

I don't know if we have to believe it to feel. we just must quit the belief that we don't deserve - cause that's the belief that keeps us from experiencing. it's not a matter of deserving, it's just what is, so we don't have to act positively towards what is. we just rest in that.

"Deserve" is such an interesting word.

It can be triggering which can also be useful in finding those hurt parts of you that feel undeserving.

I deserve the love of the universe to flow to & through me.

💚
