Are You Imprisoned by Your Beliefs?
What are beliefs? Just put it this way, they are the conscious and unconscious information we have accepted to be true, and this form the basis for our behavior.
Our beliefs imprison us and deny us access to what is REAL. We see only what we want, and reject everything else.
Truth can never be revealed to the so-called “firm-believer.” The type of person who is always quoting “facts.” He does not want to recognize anything outside his beliefs, and everything seems to be a threat and obviously he disagrees to.
He goes through life labeling everything that is new or different as “evil” or “unacceptable,” and everything that is old and traditional as “good.” He can not understand that Truth, no matter how painful, is always by its very nature, “good,” and that a lie, regardless of how much we are in love with it, it’s always, by its very nature, “bad.”
The person who is a “firm believer” has no option to change his mind. This makes him ignorant .He can only recognize what lies within his beliefs.
If you want to make a change in your life, you must first understand the root of your problems. This lies in your “mistaken certainties.”
Mistaken Certainties are things you are sure to be true but which, in fact, are not. They are based on wishful thinking which distorts reality and leads to self-deception.
We want things to be as we would like them to be rather than accept them as they are. You can only change the world to the extent that you can change yourself, and you can only change yourself to the degree that you become aware of your mistaken certainties.
Emerson said, “We are what we think about all day long.” Everything that is happening to you right now in your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual world is the result of what is going on in your mind.
Let’s face it! We all find it difficult to change our present level of awareness.
Nothing will change until you do.
