The Belief Program

[Max Power]

When you want something to happen in your life essentially three things happen.

1. Choice
2. Run the choice through the belief program
3. Manifestation

When something manifests easily, you ran it through the belief program and there was no error message, so the choice manifested.

When something is hard to manifest or the opposite is manifesting, then when you ran it through the belief program there were error messages, so the manifestation failed to arrive or the manifestation is the opposite of the choice.

Making a choice and manifestation are constant, easy, daily and simple. The hard part is the belief program, because the belief program is where all the fundamental beliefs about your entire existance and reality are contained.

If there is a fundamental belief within the belief program and you run a choice that conflicts with it, then the choice will not manifest or it will manifest as something else. The way to get around this is to either bypass the belief program, change the belief program or do both.

The belief program is really just stored thoughts inside your consciousness, they can be changed, rewritten or deleted, you just have to decide to do it. Some of the thoughts inside the belief program, while stopping you from getting what you want (money, love, success) and actually comfortable, so they remain even though they can cause pain.

You have to take action, not hard physical action, but thought action. You have to change the thoughts inside the belief program or delete them, until you do that, your life will remain constant, which is fine if everything is going well, but if something needs changing then you've got some (thought) work to do on the belief program.

Until you change the belief program, all the intending, praying and focusing will not make any difference. So before setting a new goal or desiring something new, check your belief program, see what's inside it, you maybe surprised what you find.

Enjoy!

I hear you Max. But deleting a program or file on my computer is way easier than deleting the beliefs in the program in my head. How does one change, rewrite or delete thoughts and beliefs, that one's had most of one's life, and which are pretty much engraved into one's psyche.

Over the years I have managed to change some of my beliefs and attitudes but it was hard work and some of those beliefs and attitudes are still there skulking around quite close to the surface. How does one change one's beliefs quickly and efficiently and forever?

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

IMO it all begins with the awareness that beliefs are a choice. You choose what you believe. Most of us function on an automatic system of beliefs which, as max stated, are governed by our perceptions of the "Past".

With the awareness that we are choosing in the present moment what we believe, rather than just running on an "Automated" beliefs program, we free ourselves to dispel them.

Man, a GUI (graphical user interface) would come in handy for this...

I'd like to be rich... (click)
Give me the big willy... (Oh, I'll need bigger pants too) (click)
The ferrari (click) yellow (click)
Perfect health (click)
World Peace (click)
The great sense of humor (click)

Follow through with this train of thought. What happens next? Keep clicking and adding, and then what would you actually put into this GUI before you clicked "SAVE" and "UPLOAD"?

Don't do it in a humerous way, do it for real. What would you actually program into your life this very moment?

As the programmer...

I would start with the perfect body... Which would include:
spontaneous healing of current ailments, 6 pack abs, beautiful smile, exceptional health, impressive (uh hum) "package", chiseled body that's impervious to any disease.

Why? What would spontaneous healing, 6 pack abs, beautiful smile and exceptional health give you?

And whatever that is, why wouldn't you just "click" create that directly?

More self confidence and mobility and a smokin' hot body...

That's kind of why I suggested a GUI Interface... Obviously the "click" is in me somewhere... But, where, how, what needs to be done (mentally)...? How do I implement the "click to execute" procedure...?

This is starting to click. Everything we believe is an opinion, our own judgement of what happened in the past. Then we decide that belief is who we are, identify with it (literally become the belief)... while forgetting that the entire thing was subjective to begin with. It just as easily, could have been a different belief, a different interpretation, and who knows what course your life would have taken. But it's all choice.

Great post, Max.

How do you apply the bypass method?

Beliefs are choices, got it. And these choices (beliefs) are based on past experiences. Got that, too. I've decided from here and now I'm operating in the now. Okay, so now I want my dream job, I'm clear on what I want, location, salary etc. SO, just before I run the manifest program why not add as part of the command that all existing beliefs that hinder this choice are deleted?

Perhaps, that would be considered drastic. OK, I could tweak it to ... "all existing beliefs that hinder this choice are bypassed. Then go back and work on the belief program at a later date.

Another thing I'm realizing, the beliefs are really habits. They just happen. We think them so much that they take on a life of their own. Maybe when you start breaking the habit, even just one of them, the whole structure the habits are interconnected with can crumble and be rebuilt in the NOW.

Spiritual demo and reno!! I like it!! (I used to be in contracting!)

I'm new here (2nd post actually) and this one of my favorite subjects, and an area I need a little work in. There is a very neat little book called "Before You Think Another Thought" by Bruce Doyle III. It's a 125 page paperback that is written very simply that I think gives a great overview of how beliefs are formed and how they affect us.

Beliefs tend to be in clusters and support each other. To borrow an analogy from the book I mentioned, imagine a table with many legs representing your belief system in a certain area, a 10 legged table would be pretty solid, now start taking them out one at a time and as you do the whole table gets weaker and soon it will no longer support your reality. If you just try and add new beliefs to old ones (like with affirmations) it would be like trying to replace a 10 legged table with a 1 legged one, your mind will stick with the most comprehensive, strongest beliefs.

beliefs are mental constructs, habits, actions, physical conditions...ect are results of the beliefs , but yes I agree that you can work backward, it is just harder to force actions until beliefs line up with them.

There are, of course, many different bypass methods.

One example is hypnosis. Effectively you create a straight path into a deeper part of your mind, bypassing the obstacles at the surface layers of your consciousness, and you plant your positive intention at that deeper part.

Another example of a bypass method is the "Wouldn't It Be Nice" method described by Abraham Hicks. What you do is select your "impossible" intention, and tell yourself that you're going to daydream/fantasise about it, and you can assure your rational, skeptical brain that none of this is actually going to happen, you're just going to take 15 minutes for a bit of silly daydreaming. In this way, you give yourself permission to bypass your rational, skeptical mind, and you'll be able to start thinking about the "impossible". And of course, to start attracting it.

A 3rd example of a bypass method is actually certain forms of creative visualisation. When you think in words, you tend to be able to argue with yourself, you see. But how do you argue with images? Therefore visualise what you want, skip the words .... And your left brain will be disadvantaged in trying to hinder you.

Has anyone experimented with Hypnosis. If Hypnosis can effectively bypass your beliefs and they can be re-written, couldn't hypnotists charge $5,000 for a 15minute session to erase all lack-mentality beliefs and program you to be an instant millionaire?

Just curious who's had any experience with it.

Thanks for the incite... Your post makes alot of sense...

Regarding this,
Do you think this what the science of getting rich describes as "thinking a certain way"...?

[cylon]

I'm going to work on the "wouldn't it be nice" method. Seems like a fun, hassle free way. Because lately I've been taking it too seriously. Not sure if trying too hard is really the way to go.

[torilink]

other good ones are "Anything can happen to change this situation" or "Anything is possible" or "There must be a way".

they are great ways to circumvent smaller limiting beliefs - in effect snuffing them out by the sheer force of these larger more positive ones.

Being in the moment and focusing there is always good, only problem is it's easy to let the past slip into the moment, especially a past that is very infectious. The best way I find to bypass the past, is to consider that it didn't actually happen the wy you remember.

If you have a big goal or one that seems a challenge, then you would focus on it being real now and that's great, but the past reality will undermine that goal, so as well as seeing you have the goal now, actually see you had it yesterday as well.

Then the past has been rewritten and it gives the present more creative power, so not only do you have your desire now, but you had it yesterday and the day before and way back as far as you desire. So you can build the future not just with the now, but you overwhelm the possibility of attainment by already having the goal achieved already through the past.

Keep in mind that the past has a lot of power over most people and while the power of now is great, the past is just and mostly always more powerful. In truth the past is only thought anyway, it's power relies on you believing it happened as you remember.

Memories are thoughts and any thought can be changed including the ones that you think build the past.

NLP (neuro linguistic programming) has several models that are used to re-frame or re-associate old memories. They tend to focus on changing the relevance of a memory or belief rather than 'erasing' it. I have no personal experience with NLP but have lots of experience and info about hypnosis. I have been a non-smoker for 7-8 years after 1 hypnosis session, I was a real die-hard smoker too, could not put together over 2-3 days w/out smoking. The suggestions were comprehensive, positive , and delivered properly, ie the induction was good and I was in hypnosis. basically, I was re-programmed to be a non-smoker, not someone who was quitting or trying to quit.
