Transforming Beliefs

Question: Hi Alana! My question is about beliefs.

I know how to create new beliefs, but I find when I create a new belief the old belief is also still there. And this creates conflict and confusion as both beliefs are held together.

How does one resolve this conflict? How do I let go of the old belief that is no longer serving me and allow the new belief to run?

It feels as if I am unconsciously running two opposing programs at the same time and then feel conflicted and incongruent. Is there a way to consciously or unconsciously incorporate the new belief and at the same time stop running the old belief?

Answer: That is a very delightful question and thank you, dear one, for bringing it forth. It is one that will be of benefit to many.

Well, it is interesting when we come to the place in our conscioius awareness where we recognize that we have grown out of a belief and are eager, ready, or anticipating bringing forth a new belief.

At that place of awareness, you are ready to begin to bring forth the new belief in such a way that the old belief will still run parallel.

So, in the first stage of bringing in a new belief, you do have a parallel belief existing. Recognize that there is really no way to fully eradicate, fully dismiss, or fully disengage from an old belief while a new belief is beginning to be birthed.

But do recognize that as you make conscious choices to strengthen your new belief, and turn towards it, it will gradually gain much more power than your old belief.

It is kind of like a railroad track, you know? You have one track on one side and one track on the other, and for a while they run parallel. As they run parallel and you continue to turn towards your new belief, you will strengthen it's power and begin to gather more and more evidence of its occurrence. The belief will move from a possibility, to a probability, and then a truth.

There will be temptations to attach your thoughts to the old belief because there will still be evidence showing you that it is true. What you do in that case is recognize that this is an opportunity to bring more of your "threads" from the old belief to your consciousness. That way they can also be acknowledged and then aligned with your new belief. When remnants from an old belief arise, it is a wonderful thing because it means that you are wishing to have more and more success with your new belief. You are just bringing up anything other than it so that your new belief can become clearer.

So, what you are speaking of is the natural order, the natural process that one goes through to become more aware of their new path.

I recognize in your statement that along with our beliefs--both old and new--we also attach emotions. When we catch ourselves still following the old beliefs, we sometimes fall into an emotion of pain. Then it is the pain that we judge. Do you see?

When you can get to the place where you notice yourself following the old path say, "Thank You. Thank you for bringing this awareness to me." Eventually you will find it is not pain that you feel. You will feel appreciation because you have a greater sense of awareness that you desire to be more allowing to your new belief. You desire your new belief to create shapes, patterns, and manifestations in your life.

And so it is a gradual dance. It is an awareness. It is a statement of higher consciousness about your belief that you are experiencing. Eventually you will be so attuned--so aligned to your new belief--that your railroad tracks will no longer run parallel. They will become one single track (monorail) because you will have neutrality with the old belief and the new belief will then be primary.

Hopefully this answer has given you more tools to understand that all that you feel, all that you sense, and all that you've become aware of is actually a part of your creation and your new belief.

Thank you so much, dear one. It was delightful to give you a little personal coaching on this issue. Keep your joy!

-- Alana

Hi Alana, have you any ideas or tools to help a person along the journey to make decisions that are not fear based? I am trying to be more aware of whether its a fear based decision or not. In the past I have put off ideas or plans because fear gets in the way.

Hi Alana, my question is on the third eye. They say meditation helps, so I meditate, but still the little boy waits. I focus to get the pressure on the third eye area and get the muscles at the back of the head working with slow deep breaths. But are there any other techniques or exercises to try? Now when I meditate I'm starting to get white flashes of light like lightning. could you explain what this means?

When one adopts a belief, that belief is true as far as the level of perception of the person who is adopting it is concerned. When a new belief comes in, only the perception changes. The truthfulness of the object and circumstances surrounding the old belief does not change. And because it does not change, why discard the old belief? The process of learning is gathering of information which are all essential for growth. If we remove an old belief simply because of a change in circumstances and perception, then it becomes counter to learning and growth. After all, what makes us sure that the new belief will still be true tomorrow? A new one could emerge or the old one could after all become true again. Removing an old belief cannot make us grow. What would make us grow is the acceptance that all beliefs are true according to the circumstances and perceptions prevailing at a particular time in ones level of mental and spiritual development. In short, belief does not change; it is the person that changes. Why be bothered then with an old belief, when what is more important is your appreciation of the changes in your perception which is indicative of what you are in your present stage of development.

Hi Alana, I have grown spiritually a lot over the last few years, and I have experienced moments of extreme liberation when my mind was quite. I have come to a point however in the last few months where I don't feel liberated anymore. I started getting a very deep longing to feel liberated, so I worked harder at changing my beliefs, reading more, working on making my mind quite, as often as I can, meditating, and being present in the now as much as possible. I have done a lot of other things that I thought would help, but for some reason nothing seems to help me feel good. The result was that I fell into a depression to such an extend that I just didn't want to live anymore. Can you maybe give me an idea of what is happening and why? I would really like to understand what I am experiencing and would really like to get through it in order to grow from here.
