Do you believe what you believe?

Getting real about our beliefs

Ask people what they believe and you are likely to get an assortment of

• what they want,
• what they have heard,
• what sounds reasonable, or
• what is most likely to be praised.

Do they believe the things that they are asserting? Most of the time the answer is no. But digging beneath the asserted beliefs we find the real beliefs that are shaping behavior and creating reality.

The real beliefs, whether deliberately chosen or methodically indoctrinated, create a blueprint for what we perceive and how we interpret it.

They are the foundation of our life.

During ordinary moments of consciousness this blueprint causes us to perceive certain things, and to tune out certain other things. Changing a real belief can change our future, can change what we pay attention to, and can change what we see. A real belief can make objects disappear from our consideration.
