The Birth Cycle of a Life Experience
The Cycle begins with one Conscious
Thought. Often it's erroneous, but that makes no difference. The Cycle
has begun!
If that thought is repeated frequently; if we hear it often enough from parents, family, peers,
teachers, religious leaders, the media, etc.; or if the thought
corroborates another subconscious thought we already hold, that
Conscious Thought becomes a Belief.
The Belief is accepted by our
Subconscious Mind as a fact. Whether it’s true or not is totally
irrelevant… it becomes our Truth. There are literally thousands – and
some say millions! – of such beliefs stored as Truths or Memories in our
Subconscious Mind.
The Subconscious Mind is our faithful
servant. Immediately upon accepting a Belief, our Subconscious Mind sets
about manifesting events or experiences (on an energetic level through
the Law of Attraction) which support or mirror that Belief, and we
eventually have Life Experiences that corroborate it.
The Law of Attraction states: That
which is like unto itself, is drawn. This means that if we hold the
Belief that it’s difficult to make a lot of money, then that is
exactly what our experience will be. The Subconscious Mind
guarantees it. Like a magnet, we will attract the circumstances, people
and experiences to support it. The exterior events in our life will
confirm that it is, indeed, difficult to make a lot of money.
When our Belief is “difficulty making a
lot of money,” we consciously see evidence through our life experiences
that we are correct. This “proof” reinforces our Belief, which
perpetuates the Cycle. Our Subconscious Mind continues to manifest
experiences and events in our life that confirm, over and over, that
it’s difficult to make a lot of money!
We only have to observe our life
experiences to see what Beliefs we hold. Sometimes it’s difficult to
isolate exactly what the Belief is, but if anything in our life is not
to our liking, we know that we must change our Belief about it.
Life continues to demonstrate our
Beliefs time after time after time… until something changes. The
“something” that must change is our belief system. Only by replacing our
Belief “it’s difficult to make a lot of money,” can we ever experience
anything different.
Granted, this isn’t easy to do when
everything around us screams that it IS difficult to make a lot
of money. We may work hard and long (another Belief) because “everyone
says” that’s what we must do. But we can work every hour God gave us; we
can want to change our reality all we want; we can repeat affirmations
over and over; we can pray; we can curse; we can wish; but if we hold a
Belief contrary to what we say we want, nothing will change.
To begin changing a life experience,
we must start at the beginning of the Cycle by consciously thinking
different thoughts. These can’t be the “wishing and wanting” type of
thoughts – there must be at least a grain of truth in them in order for
us to initiate a new Belief. But even a grain of truth is sufficient to
change our reality.
Thinking
about having something while feeling doubtful will never work. The thought must be accompanied by a
positive emotion. The more you're able to feel the emotion the better
and sooner the belief will change. Let me give you a simple example:
For many, many years, I was plagued by
“there’s never enough money.” That was my Belief and that was therefore
my Life Experience. Whenever I fed my cats and noticed that the bag was
getting near empty, I panicked because it meant that some time in the
near future I would have to find $25 to buy more cat food. There were
many other Life Experiences that upheld my Belief that “there’s never
enough money,” but not being able to buy cat food became symbolic
for me.
I was acutely aware that I needed to
change my conscious thoughts in order to change my Belief and thereby
change my Life Experience. I’ve known about the Cycle for a long time,
but somehow I hadn’t been able to make the change. I knew WHAT needed to
be done, but I hadn’t been able to figure out HOW - despite many
attempts at various methods.
It’s hard
for me to pinpoint when the change actually took place, but one day I
did have enough money to buy cat food without any undue stress.
Around that time, there was a shift within me and from that moment on, I
held on to the Belief that if it happened once, then I could be
confident that I would always be able to buy cat food whenever it was
needed. In fact, I actually became grateful whenever I fed my cats! That
was the positive emotion that accompanied my thought. It has been many
months since the change and I still have a moment of appreciation every
time I fill their bowl.
The strangest thing happened about the
same time. I suddenly started to receive money from all sorts of
unexpected sources. It was a miracle! Now, I can honestly say that I
always have enough money and my “never enough” days are finally past.
As I said,
I had been using various methods to change my Beliefs and therefore my
reality, but I believe, without a shadow of a doubt, that EFT (Emotional
Freedom Technique) was responsible for the reversal of my Belief. I’m
sure the other things I tried didn’t do any harm, but it was EFT that
finally swung the pendulum the other way and I will be eternally
grateful for being shown this amazing tool. |
