First we had to tackle our perceptions, for they determine how we view our thinking. If we believe/perceive our thinking is appropriate, we won't change anything. Once we perceive there may be flaws in our thinking, we begin to observe our thinking and this observation will cause changes. The left brain has feelings and the right brain has feeling about it's own as well as the left brain's feelings and thinking. We had to get those two mutually respectful and working in harmony. Thinking all taken care of we then went into the body. The body has a memory, thinks and has feelings. Every cell is a microcosm of our entire being. In the body is where we hold our core belief system. This core belief system is ultimately what shapes our body, our reality and our experiences of that reality. It is the mastermind of all things. Being in conflict with our core belief systems, any thought patterns we achieve would be nothing more than self-hypnotism and self administered brain washing.
Our pituitary gland is the communication center for both halves of our brain as well as our body. They communicate with each other via dreams and visions. The left brain may manifest as a male entity, female would be right brain, and our body may be our own personality/ego speaking, it may also be a God manifestation. If we want to know what we are thinking, feeling and believing, we but need to follow those "conversations", our interactions within and between our various aspects.
In exploring our core belief system, as in our thinkings, we begin with the perceptions of these beliefs. We may think we are a positive thinker, but in reality our positive thinking is resistance to our core beliefs. Or maybe we are a negative thinker in contrast to a lot of positive core beliefs. That which you resist persists and only worsens the matter completely. Our beliefs can also be conflicting. For example, as infants, we believe we are the only thing relevant in all of creation. As we get older and maybe rendered powerless, perceiving ourselves completely irrelevant because our wants, needs, desires, opinions are ignored and disregarded by our parents, we go off into the opposite extreme. Without a balanced perspective we fluctuate between a super ego that makes us the center of the universe and then completely undesired, unwanted and irrelevant on the other hand. So, we have a roller-coaster ride of life experiences. We could come to the conclusion that we are relevant, but to various degrees to various things.
If we believe ourselves irrelevant, we believe life is not worth living and if life is not worth living, the planet is not worth saving. If we believe life is nothing more than a temporary journey, then our environment will reflect that belief and way of thinking. The environment includes our body. If life isn't worth living and/or is only temporary, we begin dying. Because beliefs are energy and transferred from body to body, our children are born with our inner core beliefs. They begin dying as soon as they are conceived. But we CAN change our core belief system. We can drag out hose beliefs and hold them up the light of day, examine them.
Some of the core beliefs I have struggled with include that anyone intellectual or having material wealth is better than me. I believed my heart and mind (left and right brain) were not capable of making good, healthy, appropriate decisions. They were not trustworthy. I did not believe I was capable of living a life of complete ease limitlessly. I did not believe life was worth living and I struggled with relevancy. I didn't believe I belonged. I didn't believe I had the right to anything special or good or life-sustaining. But I believed I could be happy and at peace. I believed I was right about a lot of things. I believed I was wealthy. I believed I was healthy. I believed I did what was appropriate. As we can see, some beliefs I had were conflicting, some were mutually sustaining. Some aspects of my life, my experience have been consistent, others haven't.
But most important to me is now that I understand these things, I can now truly help my children. I used to think and thus believe: Why should my children believe me? I never believed my parents. This manifested as the belief that parents were not trustworthy, anything to be believed in and completely irrelevant. But I notice my youngest children believe in me deeply. As a matter of fact, they believe in me exclusively. They do not take instruction or correction from anyone else in our experience. I know, to them, I am relevant. Thus I know my core beliefs are changing. The future is already changed and secured for them in the work that I am doing.
As evening closes I realize there is a whole lot of core belief baggage sending out negative messages: Was told I take things too seriously, so I stopped taking myself and others stopped taking me seriously. I never gave myself any credit, so nobody else gave me credit, either. I believed I was offensive, too intimidating, ridiculous, clueless, stupid, foolish, timid, incapable, untouchable and it seems the list is never ending. I am worth something. Every message ever sent to anyone in my family history is bound up within my core belief system ultimately. And that is for each of us the same. It's clean up time and the vacuum cleaner is coming ;)
A little brown frog appearing in my kitchen triggered even further awareness if ingrained beliefs such as : I believed I should be afraid if I did not worry about things, that I should fear the unexpected, things will always turn out poorly, sudden movements could only be fear inspiring. Surprises don't have to be scary or come with strings. And as I experience being full of delight, I realize I am, can be, delightful and people can be delighted to see me coming.
And sometimes, a bit of forgetfulness is a good thing: it allows old experiences to be new again. be at peace. You're not stupid.
