Beliefs, Emotions, and the Creation of Reality: New Teachings from Jesus QUOTES

1 " If you can maintain a positive inner climate, that will help you drop into and remain in the flow. Then life will feel much easier and Life’s opportunities and support will be more apparent. Doing the work of weeding out or learning to detach from beliefs that create a negative internal climate is so important, since such beliefs are what prevent you from being in the flow and, consequently, from tapping into the wisdom and resources you need to handle whatever the flow is bringing.

2 " you believe different things about different groups of people: You have beliefs about poor people, beliefs about rich people, beliefs about children, beliefs about teenagers, beliefs about Christians and Jews, beliefs about Americans and every other nationality, beliefs about the different races, beliefs about women, beliefs about men, beliefs about the elderly, beliefs about attractive and unattractive people, beliefs about intelligent and not-so-intelligent people, beliefs about overweight and thin people, and on and on. That’s a lot of beliefs to be aware of and examine! "

3 " If you are unkind, insecure, defensive, or cold in relationship because of some belief, that inner climate is bound to sabotage your chance for a healthy relationship. Who you are likely to end up with is someone who is willing to be with someone who is unloving, insecure, defensive, or cold because he needs to be with someone—anyone—rather than because he loves you. This can’t be a satisfying relationship for long, and your belief becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. "

4 " because life is not designed to meet your desires and expectations. Life has its own purpose and its own plan. Life brings you the people it does for many reasons, which you may never understand. Your only choice is whether or not to love who Life brings you. "

5 " Love is possible only when you drop all ideas and beliefs and meet another just as he or she is showing up in the moment, fresh and new. "

6 " The more time you spend in the present moment without your thoughts, the more you are able to know life as it truly is, as your true self experiences it. If you spend enough time being fully present in the moment, you discover the truth about life—that it is good, trustworthy, wondrous, miraculous, and divinely and intelligently guided. Only your personal illusory reality keeps you from realizing this. Your beliefs cause you to misperceive life. Once the lens of your perception is cleared of the beliefs that distort your vision, you can see life as it really is. "

7 " That judgments close hearts should be pretty obvious. Judgments come from a closed heart, so naturally they also cause others to close their hearts. Judgments are a perfect example of an internal reality, or climate, determining one’s external reality. When you openly judge others, you will be judged in return, as predictably as the night follows the day. "

8 " No one else but you can actually make you feel love or feel loved. That is solely up to you. Love is an experience that happens within you. It is an experience of your heart being open. If your heart is open, you won’t need love from another person. It’s only when your heart is closed that you feel a need for love from another. "

9 " If you are not aware of what you believe and not aware that you have a choice about what you believe, then your life will be shaped by those mistaken and limiting beliefs, and you will be a passive recipient of the results of those beliefs rather than a conscious co-creator of your life. In these pages, we will explore ways of moving beyond any distorted perceptions of reality that may have developed as a result of your beliefs to a truer, clearer, perception of reality. Each of you has been given and has acquired a set of beliefs that lead to a certain internal and, consequently, external reality. In that sense, you could say that you are programmed with a particular destiny. However, that destiny can be changed and shaped by you once you become more aware of what you are believing and the power you have to believe something else. "

10 " First, let’s consider beliefs around being a man or woman. Each gender is loaded with beliefs and expectations that shape and limit possibilities, often beyond one’s awareness. Every culture has expectations for each gender and so does every family. Children are trained from birth to act a certain way, to develop themselves in certain ways, and to see themselves in a certain way depending on their gender. Meaning is given to gender: “I am a woman/man means....” How you complete this sentence reveals the beliefs you hold around your gender, many of which are limiting. "

11 " Emotional wounding creates the deepest distortions in one’s personal illusory reality and therefore the greatest suffering. "

12 " Becoming aware of the beliefs behind the emotional wound frees you from this cycle of pain and hurt. "

13 " When you are young, you have no identity; you don’t know what to think about yourself. Ideas about yourself are given to you by past-life imprinting, parents, siblings, relatives, teachers, friends, and others close to you when you are growing up. You are told who you are, sometimes directly but often covertly and subtly. Children also draw their own conclusions about themselves based on their experiences. One’s identity is made up of ideas collected along the way from all of these sources. "

14 " The problem is that once these beliefs are formed, they aren’t easily reshaped or erased. And once they are established, they tend to become self-fulfilling prophecies, which reinforces those beliefs. Consequently, what a child is told early on about himself or herself is crucial and will largely determine how happy and fulfilled he or she will be. If the messages were negative, that person will have to work to overcome that programming through awareness of it and a conscious attempt to reprogram those ideas. Because the illusion is not that easily seen through, this can take years of diligent effort. "

15 " Such lifetimes are a crash course in creation. If the learning is not accomplished in that lifetime, the learning continues in between lifetimes and into the next. "

16 " One of the main ways the programming maintains itself is by filtering out evidence that contradicts the programming. The belief “I’m not worthy of happiness” ensures that you will filter out possibilities for happiness. This might mean that you don’t seek out activities or relationships that would make you happy, because if you did, you would prove your programming wrong. Instead, you are likely to engage in relationships and activities, such as addictions, that don’t make you happy, thereby fulfilling the edict of your programming. This all happens, of course, unconsciously, as no one purposefully seeks to create circumstances that will cause unhappiness. "

17 " Such a negative emotional climate makes you feel dark, heavy, negative, and needy, like a black hole. It also affects how you appear to others: You don’t smile much, you don’t make eye contact, and you keep to yourself. It’s like being painted black and makes you almost invisible to others. "

18 " It flows through you and moves you to speak and act, whenever your speech and actions are not being coopted by the ego. You only feel separate. But that is the illusion. How you feel does not reflect the truth about reality. Reality is bounteous, trustworthy, and intelligent beyond imagination. "

19 " You did, however, have many beliefs stored in your unconscious mind from times when you lived before. These unconscious beliefs would be activated and made conscious as you encountered different experiences in this lifetime. But as a baby, your perception was free of beliefs. "

20 " So why would you believe such thoughts? The only reason you do is that you were programmed to believe what seem to be “your” thoughts. But they are not your thoughts. Believing that they are is the foundational lie that makes the illusory reality possible. "
