In my last post to this blog we talked about having to overcome the ways in which we have been conditioned to think. Before we can accomplish this, it is important for us to understand how we have become conditioned to think the way we do. So I have included the following article: (as of Nov. 28 the links in the article are not working - ways in which to overcome conditioning are found in other posts on this blog)
know yourself by Seymour Knapp
*Where Beliefs Started*
From the ages of 0 to 5 you are like a sponge, absorbing and accepting the information around you without question at an unconscious level.
You were essentially being programmed: by your world and the people in it. Patterns were created and programs formed. Many of these patterns exist as neurological pathways with which you experience and create your world and are with you still today.
First of all, you were imprinted with the mental and emotional state of your mother. Until about two or three years old you felt whatever she felt. You experienced the world as she did, like an extension of her being, experiencing her thoughts and feelings whether you wanted them or not.
Those first 5 years were critical to the formulation of beliefs that exist today for several reasons.
At that age you couldn't evaluate for yourself. You didn't have the ability to logically rationalize or question anything. You had no way of knowing whether what you were about to believe was really true or not.
Further, as a child you think the world revolves around you. If there is disharmony, neglect or dysfunction, in what ever form that manifests, you think that the problem is because of you. You think that it is because you are bad, wrong or not good enough in some way.
So if your family was anything like the norm (i.e. not very normal - which of course there is no such thing anyway), you would have grown up feeling like it was your fault and there was something wrong with you.
Any pain you experienced, either from neglect punishment or criticism directly (verbal abuse, criticism, spanking) or indirectly (such as withholding affection) became stamped into your consciousness in the form of a belief. It became internalized.
You were a blank slate coloured by these experiences. The more intense the experience, the bigger the impact and the more defining and powerful the beliefs and programs that were created, programs that continue to play out in your life today. They do not diminish with time.
These beliefs and patterns, formed at a young age, are shaping the experience of your life today. And it can be a detrimental catch 22. Your beliefs create the very realities that further compound those beliefs and patterns get repeated again and again.
But, You CAN BE FREE http://tinyurl.com/6lv94k
It starts with awareness and choice.
You can become aware of the limiting beliefs that are running as patterns and programs in your life and choose new beliefs that serve you and reflect who you truly are and your heart's desires. And with the Belief Buster Meditation you can implement these changes at a subconscious level for effective and lasting change.
