What is a belief? Why is it important?

A belief is pretty much a thought you keep thinking over and over again (consciously or unconsciously). If you understand the Law of Attraction and the other “secrets” of Conscious Creation of your reality, it must be evident that beliefs can be an extraordinary life power. If used correctly, a belief is the best way to magnify your thoughts to create the reality you desire. When used incorrectly, limiting beliefs can be established in the mind, and these will restrict the goodness that will come into your reality.

The Seth entity as channeled by Jane Roberts in their book, “The Nature of Personal Reality” defines a belief as “anything that you think of as absolute truth is a belief that you hold.” Seth goes on to say, “Your beliefs form your reality, your body and its condition, your personal relationships, your environment, and en masse your civilization and world.”

Whatever someone believes is usually true to them. They think of that belief as being an aspect of reality, instead of being an idea about reality. Beliefs are an essential, extraordinary life power that can be harnessed to consciously create your ideal life, if you do not let them control you. When your beliefs begin to control your life, without your conscious input, you have become your own prisoner. The average person goes about life, living with their beliefs making them their own prisoner.

Belief Essential, Extraordinary Life Power

Your outer world is a reflection of your beliefs. When you consciously use and develop empowering beliefs you are harnessing the power of beliefs for your own good. It is through consciously developing your own belief system that you will be able to experience abundance and the best life has to offer.

To begin, you must consciously develop your belief system. Question every belief that you currently hold. A good way to figure out some of your hidden beliefs is to watch how you react to situations and experiences. Your actions are based upon your beliefs. If you closely watch how you act, you will understand your belief system. With each new belief you uncover you must question its truth. Does it truly resonate with you, or did you unconsciously pick it up from someone else?

As you feel through your current belief system you will begin to develop empowering beliefs. And, it is through your empowering beliefs (such as “I create my own reality” or “I am an infinite being.”) that you will be able make your beliefs an essential, extraordinary life power.

Beliefs Our Own Prisoner

As you develop your empowering beliefs you must let go of any limiting beliefs. A limiting belief is any belief that will hold you back from being your True Self. Your only limitation is your imagination, and if your beliefs allow it to be, your imagination is infinite. You are an infinite being. All limits are the result of limiting beliefs. When you are experiencing anything that is blocking abundance/ wellness into your life there is some limiting belief behind it. Look into your experiences and find those limiting beliefs deep within yourself.

A limiting belief could have served you at an earlier period in your life, but they are of no use to you now. You have transcended them, and now they are holding you back. Or, you may have just unconsciously (or in some cases consciously) picked a limiting belief up from some authority that you respect and chose to get information from.

Once you find a limiting belief, you must replace it with a “truer” empowering belief. Simply let go of the limiting belief, and put out the intent to replace it with your new belief. This will stop your beliefs from being your own prisoner.

Now, you have an amazing opportunity to begin to change your beliefs from being your own prisoner to becoming your essential extraordinary life power. Remember, nobody can change your beliefs for you, you must change them for yourself. Also, nobody can force beliefs on you, unless you allow them to (consciously or unconsciously). But you must be absolutely certain that you can change your beliefs and you must be willing to try!
