Does This Belief Serve Me?

Realizing that I have the choice of what I want to believe opens up completely new dimensions, clears the view for possibilities, and countless opportunities. I can say YES or NO to whatever belief I feel like being attached to. Then, it is a conscious decision. Then, I am in control of my attachments and not my attachments in control of me.

As well as I can say Yes or NO to identified attachments, I can say YES or NO to any opportunities that may appear. Seeing ourselves in the driver’s seat and in responsibility, we experience a whole new way of creating life – of creating your life consciously. Thus, we make our lives not only individual but an artwork that mirrors our being in the most authentic way at any moment. Statements like “I had to do so” or “I had no choice” are no longer relevant and vanish from our systems. We always have a choice, but the choice we think is the right one is not always the comfortable one. However, there are no excuses for what reason we make decisions. The only thing that matters is that we are completely aware that we cannot blame anyone but ourselves for any consequences.

So, it is our choice to believe in what we want to. Be aware that the law of attraction is constantly at work, which you should consider when making decisions. Everything that’s generated from a selfish, ignorant, fearful, or greedy-for-power mind will not serve well in the long run. All the consequences we experience teach us what kind of beliefs do or do not serve us. Only what comes from a mind connected to the heart will bring sustainable blessings. BUT it is ok to choose whatever we want. Often, we don’t even know that we are not acting in alignment with our hearts. Thus, this place is perfect for teaching us through its oppositions. That means, actually, every choice is a good choice. Because the consequences of any choice teach us to keep up the attitude or to choose differently the next time and maybe change direction. Recognizing that we ALWAYS have a choice of what we decide to be attached to is uncovering the illusion of attachment itself. There is no real attachment when we can detach only by choice.

Another illusion that can be resolved this way is the illusion of getting to know who you are. Being aware that you are the one who decides how to create your life lets you drift into a state in which the only thing that matters is not WHO you are but THAT you are. Because THAT you are is the foundation of all your creations. And one of your creations is your belief. But you are not your belief. In this way, you become aware that you put on a mask when you try to define yourself. You know that you only play a role here to experience yourself. So, when you try to define who you are, you are playing a role within your role. This makes everything a tiny little bit more complicated.

I think we all are wearing masks. Who can really say they are purely authentic? Even claiming we are authentic may already prove us wrong. So, as long as we can change the being we are, we see that we are not the masks we wear. Once this is realized, we stop identifying with what we say, do, or even think. You notice that saying, doing, and thinking are part of the current mask and are tools to learn and evolve. In that state of awareness, you accept yourself genuinely the way you are. No questioning, but observing. No justifying, but directing. You go from conditionality to unconditionality. And this unconditional way of feeling embraces everyone and everything. You will see beings on different roads, but know they are on the same journey.

In Love and Light

It is more that we don’t let ourself get attached to beliefs that rather restrict than serve us. We are free to believe whatever we want. In this awareness it is a conscious decision to what we want and don’t want to get attached to regarding the consequences we cause for ourselves and others.

You got exhausted by all that happened. Of course, taking any step or making any decision takes a lot of energy. And therefore it took its time until you had the energy and the motivation to grab the bull by the horns.

You are so right, Erika. Life is all about choices and choosing to not make a choice is in itself a choice. In my experience, when my choices come from my heart and not my ego, the result is always for the highest good of all. Such a wonderful post, and a great reminder to make conscious choices as we journey. Thank you for sharing.

The intention behind a choice makes such a difference. The choice itself is almost secondary because it is what we make out of that choice. Let’s belief but be careful not to become too attached to them since a belief is not a knowledge but strong enough to live by and make changes happen. As you say, may it be from our hearts and not from the ego. Thank you so much for your comment, dear Jan!

We both I know continually speak about Choices, being able to choose, discern for ourselves.. Yet in todays world we see this illusion of confusion whereby people are not always in possession of the true facts upon a subject matter or situation to make a clear choice.

We make decisions via the information we receive and unfortunately many trust blindly information received, making choices via such means.
We as a society have become lazy, in that we fail to research deeper into why we believe this or that… We have been programmed into a belief system that says those in authority know better than we.. So most choose to believe because we have through the ages been taught to believe whom we have been taught are more ‘ Educated’ than ourselves..

We have forgotten to connect into our hearts.. To FEEL into why we are making a choice.. Discernment comes from learning to tap into our inner senses too… Trusting not just the outer information presented.. But feeling with our gut does this feel like a good choice or am I indecisive ..

My Motto for a long while now is if in doubt.. Don’t… 🙂
I know you an I could have a long conversation Erika lol about beliefs .. 🙂 and who they serve.. 🙂

Another brilliant piece of writing..
Sending LOVE and Hugs my friend xx ❤

While reading your lines what came to my mind was: we forgot to listen to our gut feeling – regardless what others tell us is right or wrong. Indeed, we disconnected our hearts to whatever choices we make and often we only function like a robot, doing the same thing over and over again. Or thinking the same things over and over again and we are surprised that nothing changes or develops.

It is such a big subject to talk about. It is a good thing that we all believe in something different. That way (together!) we could explore so much at the same time. The problem is only that mostly we think our belief is the only true belief which only creates a strong attachment and it makes us resistent towards other opinions instead of inspired by them.
I think that is actually when we say, God experiences Himself through us – He expeiences it all. If we only understood that we are this divinity that is making choices to experience life.

Much love Sue and thanks for the inspiration… lol

It is a huge subject, and NDW covered a great deal about this subject on belief and our ability to choose given free will if choice.

Totally with you, Erika.
Our experience is formulated from a succession of choices.
Which are neither good nor bad, It’s difficult to explain that when our belief is, we see real suffering from certain choices in the world.

But we are all fractals of the whole, each fractal a facet of the whole experience. Both light and dark at the same time.
It takes a lot to innerstand, but once we do, we see how we each also formulate our experience and our belief systems via our perceptions
Which have often been coloured or programmed into what we believe, via our surrounding circumstances.

That’s why we both enjoyed NDW conversations with God books . It opened our minds to see from another perspective. Xx 🌟 💕

It is amazing and hard to really understand: billions of indivuduals making individual choices to become one complete whole while sharing their experience with the collective.
Next week I am off and I know which book to take along. Thank your this conversation that speaks from heart to heart. Much love to you, Sue 💖

Ah, that road has many adventures Erika…thankfully. To feel or not to feel…this is life. That spirit within us, our higher selves, soul…are like a sponge in every part of us, fine tuning an awareness that is so beyond this world…but because of this world. Like stepping stones in a pond, ever trying to keep our balance…but it isn’t until we fall in that we ‘let go’…then realizing we had always been carrying this barrier of fear (of falling in), when it was the ‘fall in’ that we needed to feel and understand. Unconditional love that ‘fall in’.
Great post dear lady, testing the waters indeed. Thank you for sharing 😀❤️🙏

I agree, in our attachments/beliefs lies our development. We only needt to realize that it is our attachments that lead to the next step and to the consquences in our lives. Once we understand, this big lesson is finally approached. Thank you very much, Mark 😊

The concept of making choices is such a basic building block of our existence, and yet it is ignored by so many. Making choices = taking responsibility for our actions, and that is a sensitive area for so many. It is so much easier to simply lay blame when things do not go as desired.

Making choices and taking responsibility for same allows for so much personal growth as we learn from our mistakes and move forward with our lives.

Great message Erika.

I agree completely, Colin. We had this discussion a few times since it is so important to see that it is that person themselves who builds a prison or opens a door. Our attachments make us take the next step – and yes, that one person takes that step. Not anyone else. So, as you say, this realization leads to responsibilty and toward a more thoughtful observation of oneself. And understanding that, maybe we can be more tolerant toward others who cannot see that yet.
Thank you very much for stopping by and for this conversation. I always appreciate it!

As you say .. it is our choice and every choice has its end result. We learn and continue to build on the choices we make.
Solid encouraging post to start the week, thank you!

Sometimes we need to step back and check on our attechments. Also, to realize that and what we are attached to. Sometimes we don’t even realize that our beliefs work against us.
