In Soviet Russia, core belief changes you!
Changing a core belief is very hard if you take it head on. That's because beliefs are held by ego which is motivated by fear of annihilation. It ties belief to identity, and it will fight to the bitter end not to lose identity. Don't underestimate or be unprepared for ego backlash if you do; it can be a bumpy ride! That's why epiphany is so earth-shaking. It's a bright light shined on something in darkness, that moment when a realization from your essential self exposes a conflict in your current ego structures that you can't deny. But ego is still there in the background, marshaling the troops, spoiling for a fight.
However, if you step into your greater spiritual awareness more of the time, conflicting beliefs will begin to fall away. While you can take on beliefs head-on, I approach belief like thoughts in a meditation. Beliefs arise and they pass, they are not me, so they are transient. By eliminating attachment to belief you step into your greater awareness and your whole person will bring itself into alignment. You will retrain ego to follow the directives of your higher awareness. This can happen gradually or spontaneously; don't worry about how, since that will just complicate the manifestation.
Good luck!
