I'm glad you've opened this thread. It's very relevant.

Lots of people will tell you all sorts of things to do and try, so I can only tell you what works for me.
The past.
Most faulty beliefs that become dominant thoughts are from past experiences.
You've never made a million dollars
before
You've never had a decent relationship
before
You've never had a great job
before
So something goes wrong or is bad in the past and that creates a new stable belief that runs like a program everyday in the present. Most people before making a choice will consult their belief program, see that there's a thought of how it worked out before and then make that past thought/belief/event govern the present.
And even if you've had those things (money, love, success) and lost them, you will revert back to the loss as the most dominant thought. So it's mostly the past that will write most of the code within the belief system.
Here's the way to get past the past. The only time it can exist is when you give it thought in the present moment.
The past cannot exist until you give it energy in the here and now.
So I find the best way to create the present is to not give the past any power to exist right now and really how can you prove all those things actually happened in the past anyway? You can't, so there's not much point creating them now.
Now some people will say "Max, that's crazy, of course the past existed, I can remember it" but that is not very reliable, because you cannot think of every single thing that may have happened in your past right now, so how can you be sure?
The whole concept of the past could easily be a fabrication to allude to your current situation, the past cannot be trusted on any level. There are only two things that have power.
1. Thought
2. Right Now
Everything else is outside of your current present moment awareness and therefore can't be trusted to be reliable. I find the more I let go of anything that I remember that undermines my present moment existance, the more empowered I feel.
Once you disconnect the past,
anything and everything becomes possible.
Works for me
