If we study the mind of any great soul, we will always find mention of belief systems. The well of Buddha speaks simply on the effects of our mental perceptions, “What we think we become.” Many have not explored such ideas – many don’t have time – or have made the time to realize that they are what they have allowed themselves to believe. All of their behaviour – all of their creation moves from the beliefs they hold and continue in patterns.
Look safely outward at movements in society to exemplify such truths. A generalized leap to examine why many find the American corporation/government to be self – centered, self – motivated, in a constant crux of control. One who has not awakened may still carry the belief system laid out in their declaration of Independence. A one for one , fear based, over ride the colony - belief system. This may be the core of their subconscious motive. Not an excuse – but an understanding of the past and current movement of the Americas. Another easy example for the mind to consider is the belief of what image is considered sexy or feminine. A classic example is Marilyn Monroe who exuded sexuality at size 18. Most women deemed ‘sexy’ in Hollywood are now closer to a size 5. This distortion becomes washed into mainstream consciousness and females of all ages become paranoid of their weight and label the force of life categorize - fat free, calculate - calories for points. Pregnant women complain they are too fat – young girls are dieting and a multi-million dollar 101 crash diet industry is born. Lets examine how the media feeds fashion. What is attractive and appropriate in the moment – is dressing living art - acts of expression or just pure sub conscious mental mockery? However they operate, beliefs about yourself are more useful to understand and change than beliefs about the world.
Individual belief systems can form and change in the same manner as the collective consciousness. We can break down the mind into subconscious parts, dressed in their own unique belief systems, developed from many sources of what is important and not important, in our interactions between desires and fears. What you believed as a child is now silly - but in that mental moment all of the complete chemical reactions were produced within the body. We all have flown in the magic of Saint Nick on the wings of the tooth fairy. Most people don’t realize that the consciousness is truly run by the rules laid out by our belief systems housed within the subconscious. It is the many different programs (parts of subconscious) that control and run the mainframe (conscious) of our computer. It is our belief systems that create depression, anxiety, fear, shame, uncontrollable action, self-destruction, co-dependency, pleasers and so on. Beliefs can change we are not born with them. When we change our mind – we change our lives. Do you have the courage to look within?
Consider the study of the hard-wired elephant. This example was taken from the work of Micheal Cohen on mind and repetition. “An elephant was chained by its leg to a post to prevent it from straying. It hurt when it pulled on the chain so, in time, the elephant did not stray past the chain length thus avoiding the pain. A rope that the elephant could break was then used to replace the chain. The rope also triggered some pain so the elephant remained in place. The rope was removed and replaced over time by a string and finally nothing, but the elephant never went far enough from the post to discover it was free. Its psyche now contained the chain. It had been socialized not to stray.” French Philosopher Rousseau wrote, “Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains.”
This is what makes Core Belief Engineering profound and cutting edge. It exposes and cuts through each subconscious chain. The proactive practice is truly Results Based, as it is a Belief-Change Therapy. We are at a most fortunate moment where we have access to a myriad of healing information, allowing levels of awareness and examination of the self and planetary relations to rise. CBE is ingenious as is it moves beyond the surface of conscious awareness. Day long sessions allow the individual to understand how each belief was formed in their subconscious mind, removing the limitation to reprogram and reformat. Through direct involvement, clients become self-empowered – renewing their self-respect, trust and confidence. CBE is not a band-aid solution – change is made real and lasting.
