Belief Systems

Understanding where belief systems come from.

Self Inquiry, what is this process?

Questioning thoughts.

When I am believing something painful, stressful, feeling stuck, feeling crazy or just not aligned.

My practice is to go within and question the belief around that uncomfortable thought.

The process has opened me up to see the past, where the belief began and dissolving what is no longer serving me.

A process of becoming more conscious of who I am,

to dissolve away who I am not.

No one can give me consciousness,

I can not purchase awareness.

This comes through a desire and want to feel clarity, calm, peace and presence.

That is exactly what i discover, every time, I willing and openly go within.

A willingness to go within,

to question the thoughts,

to question the beliefs

and to trust my own instincts and intuition of what is true for me.

Love is at the center of all I AM.

What keeps me unaware of this,

is the unconsciousness conditioning and belief systems,

of fear, guilt and shame.

The Tree of Knowledge:

The story I knew.

My belief of the story.

Eve was tempted,

Eve was foolish,

Eve was weak,

due to her weakness,

the weakness of a woman,

the world now knew sin.

Eve sinned. She became a sinner.

Her choice caused her and Adam to be cast out into the lone and dreary world.

Adam and Eve became mortal and the world now knew corruption. Because of her.

The story of The Tree of Knowledge, as I perceived it, created a belief of guilt and shame.

A judgement about Eve, the woman who ate the fruit, who was tempted by the snake.

Through my perception, the innocence of a young child, sin was introduced to my body.

The truths I could not share, the secrets in which I needed to live my life through.

The story of lone and dreary,,

the story of guilt and shame,

became the world I believed.

The guilt and shame kept me from love,

the guilt and shame kept me from loving myself,

kept me from trusting others,

kept me from trusting myself.

This was the belief system I attached to.

Love can not reside where fear is the belief.

The Tree of Wisdom

Seat of the Soul, by Gary Zukav.

in his book,

his story of the story,

as soon as I heard his explanation,

My heart burst with joy,

this made so much sense to me,

the awareness of Love and Truth flowed through my entire body,

My old belief system dissolved away,

my awareness became Love.

I believe Eve made a choice,

a responsible choice.

She stood by her choice.

The wisdom to know.

Eve brought the light into herself,

the awareness of contrast,

the opportunity of growth and expansion.

Eve is the reason why I have the opportunity to be here,

the grace of knowing the contrast,

responsible choice,

the opportunity for my expansion.

The snake was the light bringer of free will,

the power of choice,

the introduction of the contrast.

This is my perception.

The stories around judgement,

the beliefs of guilt and shame,

having to prove myself,,

turning to a being outside of myself,

keeps me from the love that is here within me.

This is my perception.

I believe suffering is a choice.

Our choices create a belief of suffering.

The past,

the future,

relying on others ideals and beliefs,

this is where the suffering comes from.

Here and now, in my awareness, suffering is a choice.

I chose the path of love.

The story of Eve was a choice of love.

Love from the snake showing up.

Love from Eve making a choice.

My greatest growth has come from my darkest moments.

I accept and love every experience I have had in this lifetime.

Every experience has brought me to now.

Here and Now, love is what I chose.

This is the wisdom I chose to center my life around.

EVERY thing is a part of my path.

We are all in this together.

Every story,

every belief,

it is all drawing me back to myself,

into the awareness of Who I Am.

I will take the light bringer,

in any way and form,

to bring me more and more into the light.

The truth of Who I Am.

I chose Love!

I will question every belief and thought that takes me out of love.

My perception is up to me.

To perceive myself,

the world,

through the eyes of love and that is the wisdom I know.

I invite you, what brings you to love?

What belief systems take you out of the awareness of love?

What is the source of your pain, your confusion and/or your stress?

What is your self inquiry practice?

Is this a practice of Knowledge?

or a practice of Wisdom?

What is your truth?

Seriously, asking out of curiosity?

I am a seeker,

Always curious,

Always opening to more.

I am here to grow and expand,

to the Love that is within me.

To the love that I am.
