Why Belief Negotiation?

Why Belief Negotiation?

I am sure there are a few things about your life you’d like to change. Everybody would like to make some changes in their reality, even it’s only boiling the kettle faster or finding missing socks.

For most of us the alterations we have in mind are much more aggressive and significant; more money, less hassle, a new job, car, house, good health, a beautiful body, a beautiful mate… The list goes on.

Information is emerging that shows how important our beliefs are in forming our reality. It turns out that what we believe is a sort of lens through which we shine our reality creation energy. What comes out the other side – the realities we create – is enormously influenced by the beliefs we hold.

This can get right down to the nitty-gritty. Deepak Chopra tells a story about flying in a plane with his mother over India. They had planned to avoid stopping over in a particular city because his mother broke out in hives whenever she was in this city. She blamed the pollution as well as other qualities of this particular city for her painful skin reaction.

Deepak and his family had planned the route to avoid this city but after his mother went to sleep, the pilot came on and announced that bad weather was forcing them to make an unplanned stop in the city in question.

When Deepak woke his mother she was feeling fine, assuming they were at their destination. Within seconds of being told of the bad weather and where she really was, hives began to appear on her arms and face.

This illustrates the power and immediacy of our belief’s influence on the realities we create for ourselves. One minute this woman was in Pondicherri and feeling fine, the next minute she is in Bangalore and covered in itchy hives. Such a significant change in her reality, and the only thing that has changed is her beliefs.

When we experience the impact of our own beliefs on the experiences we create for ourselves, the first thing everybody does is try to kill the bad beliefs. If we can simply get rid of these beliefs, everything will be just fine.

But think back to the point made above. We need beliefs as the lens or filter through which we express our reality creation energy. Without beliefs we can’t create realities so the point is not to get rid of a belief, but to either negotiate a better influence of the belief, or move our concentration to another belief.

This is where a Belief Negotiator come in very handy. In the same way that every writer needs an editor because we can’t see our own typos, most people need help from other people to be able to notice their own beliefs.

An experienced Belief Negotiator can quickly identify the hidden beliefs that are creating what we don’t want, and address them directly either in the waking state engaging the conscious intellect, or in a trance state engaging the subconscious. Often what we think of as a belief is only one of countless possible influences of a neutral underlying belief we hardly think about.

Once the belief has been identified, it is comparatively easy in most cases to negotiate a new influence of the belief that allows us to create a much better outcome. This is often facilitated by aligning ourselves with the original intent of the belief in question.

One of the ways we stop beating ourselves up is realizing that every belief we have was chosen for a reason, and our overall intentions for ourselves are always overwhelmingly positive, wholesome and compassionate.
