Hive-minded is a belief. Duality is a belief. Unity is a belief. You will find it when you are ready. Only You get to decide that.
As I Am, there is no Freedom of Choice. There just Is. Is, is All . To Be fragmented from the Whole requires Freedom of Choice. It could not occur without it.
Freedom of Choice is Being separate.
Think about freedom. Free Dominion, over who You are. About who I am. This is choice. Choices which are the sum of your separate experiences, within the Whole. And, from these experiences, you have discovered resonating beliefs and values.
Forgive your self for past choices, if necessary. The past has occurred, and holding onto it only adds to what you carry. It happened. It is over. You felt it when it occurred, and there is no need to carry it any longer. Forgiveness sets you free.
As much as you may want to argue that your life has not been your choice, You are here, and have experienced it. No one else made those choices. You are validation of your Self.
You need to be experienced, to be believed, regardless of how It occurs.
You have Freedom. You always have. You just need to earn the realization of that, in order to express your true intentions. Creating a reality which aligns with your beliefs and values, is born of Being those beliefs and values.
Belief is always a choice, and the choice is always mine. I do not have to continue to Be who I was.
I have heard of the idea of limiting beliefs. Are those the ones we become aware of and the rest are beneficial?
Hi Mike. That’s an interesting question. Here’s how I see it.
Honestly, all beliefs are limiting. They are meant to be a temporary place-holder until we regain our Knowing; our Truth. Beliefs are not permanent. They can, however, be static and binding. A belief can hold us in one place, if we empower them through additional beliefs; like that they are needed. They are no longer necessary when you Know Self, and accept just how dynamic Self is.
All beliefs are created by ego, and thus the chosen or created beliefs are as limited as the ego which created them. This is not a bias thing. There is no right or wrong. There just Is, and whatever it Is that we are experiencing Now is created from many beliefs. Beliefs are a structure. One which can serve a purpose, but also one we all outgrow.
Beliefs can be like little Golden Easter Eggs that we happen to find as we go through life, but then they are actually someone else’s beliefs. Who do you allow to create or influence your beliefs? Sure, they may be helpful, but more in context or learning a pattern. The one who created the belief’s context or pattern. If we look at how a belief is created, and learn how to master that within ourselves, we will be discovering more about knowing.
To find our Truth, we need to create from within, not build with what we find on the outside. Beliefs can be a part of the process, but we do discover a point where they are no longer necessary. All beliefs are limiting.
In Greek the word belief is Πίστη (Pisti), which comes from the Greek word Πειθώ (Pitho) which is the word for “being convinced about something”. Now, if we define Convinced, one meaning is; to be persuaded to do something by being cajoled, manipulated or coaxed. This is why I say, we believe until we know. We travel the illusion to discover the truth.
What’s your feelings on limiting beliefs?
It has occurred to me that the idea of limiting beliefs is that this phrase is a way to make people feel comfortable about keeping some of them. That way there is no urgency in getting rid of beliefs. It makes sense to me that all beliefs are limiting. I have never seen the idea explored before, thank you. I constantly look for them.
You’re welcome Mike.
I used to allow things make me do stuff as well. Then I realized that I always have a choice. That all began with beliefs to, but it evolved into knowing for me.
I was pondering the opposite of “limited beliefs” and got “infinite beliefs” but actually… I think it’s more:
BEING. – belief +knowing
Would it be fair to say the opposite of Limited Beliefs is more akin to Infinite Knowing? The phrase Infinite Beliefs is a bit of an oxymoron for me.
I do like the polarities of BEING. -Belief & +Knowing feels very appropriate. It nicely shows the difference between ego and Self within its layers.
