Is it a limited belief to believe that we all have limiting belief? I would say not, I believe we are all aware of a belief that with live in a world of finite things. Is this why we apply this understand to out belief system?
The only thing we should be limited by our own beliefs. Over the past few years, I have read a number of books that say we have unlimited power, we have the ability to change anything, the biological structure of our cells, the path our life is taking, the relationships we have, our own intentions. The most fascinating thing about all these books, is even the authors themselves cannot believe what they have found. And that is my point no matter how much we learn that the pie is bigger than we think, and our potential is greater then we have told ourselves it is, even when science is on our side and experiment after experiment shows us we can be limitless, we limit ourselves.
Is it because of comfort? In a limited world we feel comfortable, we get to know the variables and the limits, and we feel safe there, so that is where we retreat. That in some limited way makes sense. There a belief system is formed that in its own way is limiting.
Are we afraid of a limited existence? Do we not trust ourselves with our own power? Why if they have shown over and over again with placebo studies, hypnosis studies and studies with the mind, that the mind is far more powerful than any drug, and we are aware of this, that we cannot accept. Is it linked to the fact that Western culture is based on logic, repeatability, and because of the security of that we fall back to it, almost like a security blanket?
I for one am going to try and experience life with the blanket, for at least a few minutes a day. I am going to let my mind have anything it wants, be and Olympic athlete, a scientific genius, a fantastic husband, at least for a few minutes a day, before I retreat back to the land of the secure and cuddly security blanket, and maybe bit, by bit I can limitless access to the magic of living limit free, perhaps the more I practice the more I will learn form practice.
So today I am going to believe all those studies that show that coffee is good for me, just for a few minutes, before the years of limiting belief cloud my life.
