Belief Relief

Good evening. Allow yourselves this evening during our conversation, to feel the energy of light as it comes down around you. My entourage is working with your guides and teachers as well as bringing energy and light to you this evening.

During a previous conversation I had referred to your life as a channel that you watch on a life size television screen. The drama that you see is in fact the life you are leading, your life as a TV program. You see what you wish to see. The reality that surrounds you is what you wish to see. The program that you are watching, indeed the program that you are starring in, you have written the script for. There is unfortunately not a printed brochure to inform you what is on the other channels.

It is necessary for you to change your focus and change the channel, to determine whether you like or can relate to the new programming. So the question becomes, how does one change the channel?

If it were as simple as pushing a button anyone could do it. It is marginally more complex than that, but not greatly. Remember humans complicate, Spirit simplifies. The first process, think of it as finding the remote, is the process that I shall refer to as Belief Relief. One of your philosophers, when speaking about one of my prior incarnations stated that, “Abraham believed in God even though it was absurd.” To a degree all belief is absurd.

Try to logically explain love. Try to logically explain God, or the Source, or All That Is. They exist. You feel them. You experience them. You live them, but logically they are absurd. In other words they can not be proven logically. Belief is another absurdity. You can not prove it. You simply live it.

Allow me to give you a spiritual law. All of you have faith. All of you believe by virtue of the absurd. Even those of you who do not believe have great faith in your disbelief.

A human being can not exist without faith and belief. What you believe in determines what channel you are on. You change that channel by altering fundamental belief systems. These are not overtly held beliefs. They are beliefs in the core of your being which influence those thoughts and ideas that you would express verbally as your current belief structure. They are based on many things. Allow us to give you an example.

A small child grows and sees how its parents act. By seeing its parents walk on two legs, it determines that it is possible for the child to walk on two legs. This belief in the possible comes from seeing it done by others. As the child grows it sees other children swimming. The child thinks, “If they can do that, I can do that.” Although there may be a fear of water, the child may learn how to swim because the belief is greater than the fear. “I see others doing it. It looks like fun. If they can do it, I can do it. If they can have fun, I can have fun.”

The child learns to ride a bicycle because other children are riding a bicycle, so the belief is established in the possibility of this child learning to ride a bicycle. Even though the child may fall numerous times the basic core belief that, I can ride a bicycle because I see other children doing it, allows the child to get back on the bicycle and eventually learn to ride.

A basic belief is formed in children, that is Possibility Belief. It is the belief in the possibility of doing what other people are doing. It is the belief in the possibility that the child can grow, or learn, or mature, or develop the physical skills necessary, to do those things that it sees the people around it doing. You think this is wonderful. I never realized it before. This is wonderful.

Now allow this child to grow to an adult. The adult surrounds themselves with images, and music, and news reports, and people, and the adult now says, “I believe that it is possible for me to be mediocre. I firmly believe in the possibility of my being a failure because I look around and I see everyone else doing that. I look around and I see people who are unhappy in their relationships, people who are unhappy with their finances, people who are unhappy with their lives, and I say I can do that. I can be that.”

When you were a child all the children rode bicycles. As an adult, as you look around, the majority of people that you find are unhappy with one phase of their life or another. There are of course exceptions. There are people who have made a success of their life and their relationships. You look at them and you say, “I don’t believe that I can do that since I am not like them. I don’t believe that I can ride the big, fancy bicycle.”

The wonderful belief in possibility that you had when you were children is still there. You are just seeing different possibilities. As adults you have wonderful words for this. You call it “I’m being realistic. I’m being rational.” Some of you would even proudly refer to yourselves as cynics, and yet the possibilities are still there. They have never gone away. (Comment from Pat - remember the reference in the Bible - be as little children to enter the kingdom of God) You have simply changed your focus. You see in your life what you wish to see. You believe in the possibilities of those things that you see.

There is a spiritual law known as the Law of Attraction. Many of you in this group have heard of the Law of Attraction. Many people use the Law of Attraction to try to bring to themselves a greater financial flow, or maybe they will use the Law of Attraction to bring to themselves a person that they may love and care for, that will in turn love and care for them.

Imagine if you will, going out into the parking lot this evening, removing one wheel from your automobile, placing a metal rod through the center of the wheel, standing on the metal rod and rolling home. That is the equivalent of using the powerful Law of Attraction for a limited purpose. Yes, you will get home, but wouldn’t you rather drive in comfort and arrive in style? It runs better with all four wheels.

The Law of Attraction simply states that your belief attracts the physical manifestation of itself. It does not matter whether that belief is positive or negative. It attracts the physical manifestation of itself. It is a law that you live with whether you recognize its existence or not.

If you believe that you can ride the bicycle you will ride the bicycle, and your parents may give you a brand new one. If you believe that you may scale the heights of mediocrity, Spirit will bring you a ladder, but a short one. If you believe, if you have positive beliefs, Spirit will bring you an elevator with no limit to the top floor. The Law works and is in constant operation whether you are aware of it or not. Your beliefs attract the physical manifestation of themselves. Positive beliefs will bring positive manifestations. Ah, the relief of belief!

In belief relief can we repeal the Law of Attraction? No, of course not. We can however, repeal those beliefs that are bringing us things that we do not wish for. We can, in other words, change the channel.

Your language is interesting. The word “relief” indicates several things, which I would like to point out to you this evening. Relief is the cessation of something. It is the getting rid of an unwanted sensation or unwanted situation. In this case an unwanted belie, relief also implies help from others in bringing you peace, and solace, and rest, and positive things. As you change the channel Spirit provides those things for you. The word relief is also used in your artistic community, as a part of a painting or sculpture that stands out from the rest of the work of art. We would like your belief relief to stand out above the rest of the crowd. You, the people who know that your birthright is success, your beliefs should stand out in relief.

Now, is there a method to approach this? Let’s start with Phase One of belief relief. When you go home look around you. What do you see? Human beings are very much like a small rodent known as a pack rat. They keep things that have absolutely no relevance to their current beliefs, and yet the energy of the old belief is held in those objects, the energy of people, the energy of situations. Look at those things that you have surrounded yourself with and say to yourself, is this helpful? Does this reinforce the belief that you would like to have? Does this reinforce the positive empowered image of yourself that you would like to see playing on your home television?

If that item is not helpful why do you have it? Does this item remind you of a person or a situation? Do you keep this item for sentimental value? Is that person or situation helpful or is it a reminder of your belief in failure? How many people keep mementos of situations, and relatives, and friends, who in fact encouraged them to believe in their own incapacity? How many people keep mementos of parents, who in one way or another forced their children to live out their own inadequacies?

Is this helpful? Does this contribute to the program I would rather be watching? If it is not serving you get rid of it. You are thinking, “I have so much. I don’t know that I could do that. A lot of it has sentimental value to me.” To which, as my friend would reply, “I rest my case.”

Start on something simple. Look in your closet and find any clothing that is frayed, any clothing that is worn, any clothing that when you look at it you think, “I’m not sure I should wear that.” Then get a large basket and fill it up and throw it out. Better yet, give it away to someone that might look at that as something good.

You present yourself to the world. How do you do that? In what way do you do that? Are the clothes worn and frayed or do you have pride in yourself? Start in your closet. It’s easier to be ruthless there.

Does it serve me? Is it helpful? Is it good that I present myself in this way? Or does it reinforce my belief in my own incompetence? Start the belief relief in your own closet when you go home and we will continue this discussion in the future.

My friend tires. I would bring my entourage back to me. I, in the service of love, bid you good evening.
