Beliefs

Article GWENDA SMITH

If I leap from a tall building without a parachute, I believe I am likely to be seriously injured or even die. I can believe that is what will happen because I am not a bird and can’t fly!

If I stop doing anything and sit on the couch day-in and day-out, I believe I will be happy. I can believe this because I am not happy now and just want to do nothing.

I believe that life is more than what I do every day… go to bed, sleep, get up, eat, go to work, play, talk, go shopping, have a shower, visit friends and family… do it all over again.

I can believe that it is true that there is much more to life and living than what I or you do every day, because when I was a child, I could see people who were not like me or my family. I could see through them, yet they were moving around. And as I grew older, I could not only see them but hear and talk with them. I had many occasions as a nurse when I saw spirit walking the passageways, they seemed to be repeating the same path every day or night. Over time I came to understand that the spirits I saw were in fact doing what I call ‘looping’, in that they existed on a different plane of life but only that it was like a time warp, and they relived their last days or even minutes of their physical life here and were essentially stuck in that loop. I came to know how to help them by releasing them from the ‘loop’ and in that my faith and belief in a higher power and different planes of existence was formed.

So, what is a belief and how does it affect our life and who we are?

A belief is:

1. An acceptance that something exists or is true especially one without proof.

2. Trust, confidence and faith in something or someone.

3. A belief system is a set of mutually supported beliefs that form a religion or political party.

4. A belief is your foundation of your life.

5. A way of looking at life and,

6. What you stand for.

Your beliefs are first formed through your immediate family, where their belief systems are imposed upon you and this may be in teaching you right from wrong, what is accepted and not accepted as set by the foundations of belief in your family environment. As you grow up and move through different circles of life you will experience other beliefs and belief systems.

You might adapt these new beliefs into your life, or you may choose to form your own, thereby creating your own foundation of a belief system. Could it be of value to your life by designing your life through your beliefs?

Take some time to ponder your present beliefs, then write them down and as you look over them, ask yourself how you are living those beliefs.
