This whole area of beliefs is such a confusing one. Recently I was wondering what beliefs are. I seem to be very gullible andcan easily take on new ideas and attitudes. Are these my beliefs? Or, are these low level importance beliefs? If I believed in unaided flight would it happen? Could I ever change such a fundamental belief or is there a process in my mind that prevents me from doing so in fear of madness? I believe in the LOA but there are obvious benefits from believing that (as espoused by many gurus and self help purveyors).
Recently I have had an overall intention of just letting God/Source/Whatever use me as a tool for It's peace. I have intended to be presented with the right experiences that will change my beliefs and better enable me to live a good life. I have tried but find it unable to alter my beliefs myself. The process resulted in frustration.
The surrender and letting go I am doing now seems to work. So far my attitude is gradually changing, my thoughts are changing and things are flowing well. Its amazing what can happen when you give your thoughts/emotions/behaviour/life over to Him. It says in A Return To Love by Marrianne Williamson, God's plan works...Yours doesn't! I'm letting Him control my experience and my mind seems to be changing quite well.
