Deconstructing Beliefs And Creating New Ones
If you have a disempowering belief, it will keep causing negative emotions for the rest of your life until it is cleared. You could consider it a disease or a virus. It is like a weed in the garden of your mind.
Example: If you notice that you experience a negative emotion when you see a luxury car, try to find the root belief that causes the emotion. At first you might think you have a belief that:
“Rich people are evil”...but that could be a secondary belief.
The primary belief behind it could be... “There aren’t enough resources in the world for everyone to be taken care of.”
Or the belief that... “The world/society or human nature is not the way it should be.”
You can root out the secondary beliefs to destroy the medium-sized roadways. If you change the big beliefs, you will destroy the highway of negativity and leave a yellow brick road in its wake. Your new belief might be that every person deserves to have their dreams fulfilled. This new path could make you feel wonderful when you see a luxury car. Your new belief will allow you to feel joy for others’ achievements. The same situation that caused a negative emotion in one instance can cause a positive one once the belief is rooted out. Therefore, the circumstance is not the problem... the problem is actually your interpretation of it. Beliefs are not permanently gone when you deconstruct them. Your new belief must be practiced, and that pathway must become a highway bigger than the old one.
