DISARMING THE BELIEF SYSTEM

In order to move on into the new paradigm or reality we know that we need to let go of the old beliefs, just as we need to release the knob of one door in order to reach the next ...and with a different analogy, just as we need to remove the current items of clothing we’re wearing in order to put new ones on ...

Disarming our belief system is more or less letting go of the power that this belief system holds on us, which has in a few words kept us prisoners of this belief system ...in the box ...limited ...stagnant in our soul evolution ...and in other words, unable to experience peace and our true freedom!

As situations, circumstances and people present and come along in our day to day “functioning” or existence in society, they help us meet and face that they “should” be the way that we believe, according to a long list of “should’s” that we have engraved in our consciousness.

We each have a long engraved list of how we should respond to situations, and on how others should respond to us. This list includes what should happen to us and how. It also includes the ways that situations should be like, which we may call principles, priorities, standards of moral or ethical decision-making, and primary source of personal laws or even assumptions.

This list provides us with the quality that we accept as the norm by which our experiences and attainments are judged. It is a very long list, a list that covers every area of our life, a list which brings forth a whole system of thoughts, choices and actions ...and much distress if “things” don’t conform or go the way that this list is set up!

In order to let go of this “necessary order of ways” and rules and laws of how we have been living life thus far, we simply can release the fact that it has to be “this way” or “that way” ...

For instance, a very simple example of what we believe: When we give something to someone we think that this person needs to return the favour and give something back. Now ...knowing that we are one with that person and with everyone else ...expecting something from them is like expecting it from our self, is it not? ... The same goes with giving ...when we give another, we actually give to our self ...
Should we not give to others, we are actually not giving to our self!
Can you imagine a world where everyone understands this?
Knowing that we are one with that person and with everyone else, why “should” we expect something from someone else when they are our self?
Doesn’t it feel good enough to give to another, and consequently to our self?
But you see ...we have that list ...that famous list of things that “should” or “have to be” a certain way ... :)

Once we realize that things do not have to be or to exist according to our list, our agenda or organized state of arranged and properly classified principles of how situations and life elements “should” be functioning, developing and taking place in a particular way, and in a correct procedure spectrum ...we can finally release the old and open our self to the new ...therefore experiencing freedom, joy and peace in ways that we have forgotten we could experience, as they were buried behind this very list of beliefs or belief system!

And by the way ...we have each other to thank, because we are helping each other in this process of disarming our belief system.
Anyone “pushing our buttons” is actually helping us with bringing something to the surface that we haven’t dealt with completely.
With this “something, discomfort or emotion” coming back to the surface, we know that it is the perfect opportunity to let go of this specific “something,” which we can now choose to deal with and release in order to move on with our evolution, with ease and peace.

It’s more or less like our vacuum that runs with difficulty at one point, barely taking anything in because of a blockage of accumulated dust, lint and dirt.
All we need to do is to check where and what the blockage is and to dispose of it ...so that we can move on with our purpose.
