â Answer
In order to understand the why and the how of all this, you need to understand what beliefs are.
Beliefs are a strong conviction in a certain idea, in a certain concept.
Letâs take an exampleđ
It is said that drinking coffeeâ at night (can) causes sleep disorder or prevents you from sleeping well or will keep you awake because of its caffeine.
For some, itâs even in the afternoon that its effect will start; for others, they can have their cup of coffee at 10h00pm and sleep at 11h00pm or even at midnight and they will sleep very well!
How is that possibleâ
Why caffeine affected some and not othersâ
Its a fact that caffeine is present in the coffee, so why there is no effect all the time? Or it works, or it doesnât! It can not work sometimes and at other times, it doesnât! So where is the change happeningâ
In the persons themselves, itâs obvious!
Now, physiologically speaking, we are all the same, we all have the same organs. Why the âresponseâ of each person is differentâ
Well⌠it lies only in the character.
And what makes the character of a personâ
The âdataâ; he accumulates, right?
A character is something that is built and is always able to change.
(I know about genetics⌠about heredity⌠I know⌠but scientists got it completely wrongđ. But itâs fine, it is their experience and they need it. Anyway, this is another topicâŚ)
The character of a person is âbuiltâ from his country, his religion (if any), his family, his circle of friends, his school, his university, his environment, work, society, etc⌠PLUS all that he has experienced before: his past (parallel) lives.
So, with the power of his will and his mind, the person decides that caffeine will affect him or will not affect him, according to his character (to what he has âaccumulatedâ as information).
Howâ
Just by believing that it will or that it will not! Itâs that simple! Just by giving it a meaning, a definition, a tag, a reason, an explanation.
Why he has chosen this meaning or the other oneâ
Because it makes sense for him.
And why it makes sense for himâ
Because it resonates with him.
It resonates with whatâ
With what is true for him, with what is right, with what is correct, with what makes him feel good, safe, secure.
Now, in general, this specific kind of belief is not a âroot beliefâ.
A root belief is the very first belief which can remain alone and âdo its workâ, or can be related to other beliefs.
There is ALWAYS a root belief.
Now, when this root belief starts to have ramifications (other beliefs), this whole âthingâ forms what is called a âpatternâ.
And, of course, when a belief should be changed, we should always go to the root belief, otherwise, there will be no change in anything, or⌠slight changes.
Sometimes⌠in some cases, a non-root belief can lead to the root one. Once found, and if we are ready, we change it.
Howâ
Just by deciding to change it!
Change it = give it another definition. Thatâs it! Period. It is that simple!
And if youâre asking how to find the root belief (cuz youâre asking this now, heheâŚ), just by digging within yourself and asking the following questionđ
âWhat am I believing in, to have this experience?â
The answer will come.
It might come swiftly or it might take some time. And this (the answer) depends on how honest and transparent you are with yourself when you asked the question, and on the power of your will at the moment the question was asked and on your readiness.
When you ask, you just âthrow the questionâ, so to speak. I mean: Just ask! And⌠throw it!
DROP IT!
Ask and donât mind (worry) about how and/or when the answer will come, AT ALL! AT ALL!
No expectations AT ALL!
Your readiness: If you need to experience more of this âthingâ (for your own growth -and this, your higher self holds the decision) or not. If youâve experienced âenoughâ of it, the answer will come in any way, shape, or form; and if you need to experience more of it, you wonât get an answer.
Now, donât be discouraged by this, believe me, many, many beliefs are found! In fact, most of them⌠if not all.
Letâs go back to our coffeeâ time⌠lolđ
Is this person aware that he has a belief system telling him that coffee wonât make him sleepâ
Of course not.
Does this person understand why coffee affects him and does not affect othersâ
Of course not.
Is this person doing this on purpose to himselfâ
Of course not.
Though he likes coffeeâ, and he would love to have one, but he canât, he wouldnât sleep well at night⌠His belief is so anchored in him, that he feels it as âpart of himâ. He sees it as normal. He might blame his biological structure genetics⌠heredity⌠his parents⌠etc⌠or the coffee itself, lol⌠or maybe itâs his destiny⌠maybe itâs Godâs willâŚ
For him, it happens in an âautomaticâ way, so to speak. This is how it is⌠Thatâs my life⌠thatâs me⌠Iâm like thisâŚ
Of course, Iâm referring here to a (very) non â aware person.
To reply to your question âBut still i donât know why this.. how can someone escape to do what he/she is so passionate aboutâŚ.â
Itâs the same for this passionate person. He definitely has a belief that is preventing him from acting on his passion.
Again, the same procedure/technique: he should ask himself âWhat is preventing me from acting on my highest excitement? What am I believing in, to have this experience?â
A belief, a strong conviction in something, is an awesome tool for our growth.
If you want to do something. anything⌠you need to be convinced in order to do it, or else, you wouldnât do it!
You canât do it by force, right?
You want to KNOW why you do it. You want to know WHY.
What will give you an answer, what will convince you, what will comfort you, what will make you feel safe while doing it, is a belief, and a strong one, of course.
The more âstrongâ, the more convincing it is, and so the more you will do what you have to do with ease. And you will have no problem at all while doing it, even if the whole planetđ is against you.
For you, it is true, it is correct.
About âI am so keen to have this answer coz the same happens in my life⌠Still happening⌠I m so passionate about reading Spiritual stuff and publishing it at my own website but Somehow Always lack time to do this⌠And feel bad for not giving time to my passion.. and its not just my passion anymore⌠I feel it is the purpose of my lifeâŚ
Purpose of my existence in this lifetime..â
Lack of time⌠but this is not a problem. I do have the same problem too⌠lolđ.
We should find a compromise between family-work-our passion, there is no other way. But⌠I think youâre doing it and itâs working perfectly fine, no? Remember, you have a family to take care of. You have your kids⌠your husband⌠cooking⌠your everyday tasks at home⌠friends⌠social life⌠personal time (time to stay alone, if you feel the need)⌠maybe doing some exerciseâŚ
Unless⌠you have a belief which says âI should do it all the time⌠full time⌠always⌠nonstop⌠the more I do it, the more Iâll have info⌠and the more I have info, the more Iâll understand things⌠and this will help me in my growth⌠Cuz I want to thrive⌠I want to evolve⌠now⌠sooner the betterâŚ
When we act on our passion, it does not mean that we should devote all our time for it.
Wanting to devote all our time for it, if âdecorticatedâ, means: I donât see myself as powerful, I need to do more⌠always more⌠Iâm never satisfied⌠I donât know where and when to put limits for the timeâŚ
Here is how acting on our passion, is ârecommendedâ to be done: See what unfolds in front of us and act on our highest excitement.
See what opportunities we have in front of us, and act accordingly. If two opportunities are presented, pick the one that excites you the most.
It goes without saying: regardless of its nature, how it looks like. Donât say âItâs silly⌠Why now? How this could serve me? What people might sayâŚâ
Here is also another way: Wait to see what will unfold in front of us, what is going to be presented to us.
Wait⌠not really in the sense of âwaitingâ⌠kind of âexpectingâ something to happen⌠no.
đWaiting in the sense of, being in a neutral state (not expecting) and see/discover what will be presented, what will be shown to us. What will happen, will happen⌠in this sense.
And, if possible, seeing each situation as a new opportunity, as a new discovery, as a new exploration, as a new âchanceâ to changeâŚ
Whyâ
Because, not doing so, would be expecting something to come up⌠and waiting for it. And if we are expecting something⌠it means we are relying on something⌠which is nothing but a belief.
While we know that what is recommended, is to not expect (no more relying on beliefs) and trust that anything which will show up can only be for our own good because itâs coming from our higher source which has the big picture. And also, that this higher source can never harm itself (because I am part of it). So, how could it harm us?
(Higher source = soul⌠higher self⌠God⌠it doesnât matterâŚ)
Youâre saying itâs not your passion anymore. Are you sure? Maybe it is still your passion, but BECAUSE you are not able to give it the NECESSARY time (that YOU have fixed, according to a certain standard, a certain belief), you preferred to change it.
OR⌠it is really not your passion anymore, which is perfectly okay. Passions are not always meant to last a whole life. They can last from a few seconds (doing something very exciting for just a few seconds or minutes) to a whole life.
In conclusion, beliefs are extremely important. They are the basis of everything. They are so important that our experiences are based on them. It is impossible to grow without them.
If the following question is raised âWhere do beliefs come from?â
đBeliefs come from the One đŻ
This One is our source.
It is experiencing/exploring/knowing itself THROUGH each one of us. Each one of us is like a âportionâ of this One. Hence, we are linked and related. We feel as if we were disconnected, but this EXPERIENCE of disconnection is âallowedâ on purpose in order to play our role âproperlyâ.
Once we REALLY trust this whole process, we understand that finally, we are the ones distributing these beliefs to ourselves and that it has NOT been âimposedâ in any way by someone else. And if we have put them, we can change them.
If another question is raised âWhat to do when I see someone âstuckâ in his beliefs?â
I respect him because he is a creation of the One, as I am. I respect his âpositionâ (where he is) in the spiritual path. I respect his pace. I donât blame him (and no one is to be blamed in whatsoever case, never, everâŚ).
đ The best thing you can do is to be yourself.
When you act as who you really are, just by acting, just by being, just by your presence, you will âemanateâ, you will radiate certain energy, certain vibes (which he will catch, whether he is aware of them or not).
When you do this, you will present your ultimate, your pure, your best âaspectâ of yourself.
He will âtakeâ from it what he NEEDS to take. He can ONLY, RECEIVE what is he ABLE/READY to receive.
Remember, he has his own experiences and his own pace and his readiness does not come from him. Wanting or expecting anything else than this (only what he is able to take), is ânot goodâ for him and neither for you.
Technically, doing this, at any degree, would in fact send a thought-form with its intention, which will stick to him (to one or more of his energetic bodies) AND to you. And this thought-form, having its own intelligence, will start to grow; and no one knows how it will end⌠(Of course, it will depend on the interaction between the nature of the seeds (âpoints of intentionâ) you sent and the seeds he has.
What you can do, is imagine him HOW YOU WANT HIM TO BE. Imagine him in the state you would like to see him in. This will do for both of you. It will serve you both.
đ We have been gifted with extreme power: the power of choice. We have the CHOICE to choose between âpositiveâ and ânegativeâ beliefs. We can DECIDE what to choose.
By deciding, we will see and experience the results of our choices. We will understand that WE are the choosers and that we are NOT the victims of anyone elseâs choice. And the best way to fully grasp any choice is to experience it ourselves.
I hope this helped you, and thank you for asking. Thank you also for your presence.
PS: One day⌠when you will fully grasp everything⌠you will cry of joy when you will
see (experience) the HUGENESS of everything and its perfection. You will experience
who you are, who the âothersâ are and you will be âcompelledâ to see these âothersâ as
you; and you will âunderstandâ that you cannot NOT love them. You will love them as
you loved* yourself.
(âLovedâ and not âloveâ, because you ALREADY have started to realize who you truly
are. This is self-realization)
And now, I will end with thisđđ
