To understand how we let our thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and expectations dominate and control of our lives, let's start with a symbolic story: 

A Symbolic Analogy:  Imagine, for a moment, that you have a four-foot-long, incredibly strong cord attached around you left ankle and at the end of that cord is a ten-pound ball of lead.   On several occasions in the past, you've tried to cut the cord, and get rid of the lead, but up to now, you have not been successful.  Imagine that, just to move around and live your life, you've picked up the ball and put it in a backpack which you carry with you everywhere you go.   The ball has been your constant companion for so long that you consider it normal, and you just live with it.   

The Universal Laws:  We'll get back to our dead weight in a moment.  In the mean time, let me share with you the three most basic laws of life.

1)  The Law of Thought  --   We each create our own personal reality by our thoughts, feelings/emotions, beliefs,  attitudes, expectations, words, and actions.   We do so within the context of our human life on planet Earth, and within the contexts of the things we cannot change, such as our age, our gender, our genetic makeup, our ethnic and cultural origins.

2)  The Law of Allowing  --  I am that which I am.   You  are that which you are.   I allow you to be, have, do,  express, and experience who you are.   I ask and expect you to allow the same for me.   

Life is what it is.   I avoid judging, condemning, or attempting to alter those aspects of the external world over which I have no physical control.

3)  The Law of Intentional Creation  --  By correctly  applying the Law of Thought and the Law of Allowing to my life, I can intentionally re-create myself to be, do,  have, express, and experience, whatever I choose in life.

These three laws are as immutable and as unchangeable as the law of gravity.   They are active in your life in every waking moment.   You can use one law to overcome another, but you cannot escape the laws.   For example, the laws of aerodynamics are used in the airplane industry to temporarily counterbalance the law of gravity.   These laws are powerful tools that you can intentionally use to make your life easier,  and like the law of gravity, they have serious consequences for those who misuse them or ignore them.   

Your life is a constant mirror image of your dominant thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc.   Most humans are unaware of these laws and thus, they are constantly and unconsciously re-creating there lives by default, by accident, chance, and happenstance.   The bottom line is that regardless of what we believe, those beliefs  dominates and controls our lives.

Now, back to our symbolic analogy:   In the world of beliefs, each of us carry dozens of dead-lead-balls.  Each of us carries with us long-held beliefs that are not only inaccurate, they are a significant disservice to us and in many cases, they are harmful to our selves, to our fellow man, and to the environment.   

Examples of Destructive Beliefs:    Do you believe you are separate from God?    Do you believe you are separate from nature?  Do you believe you are separate from your fellow human beings?  The overwhelming scientific evidence and the Christian Bible tell us that all three of these beliefs are false.   How many people believe that humans can continue to destroy the environment without reaping the deadly and devastating consequences?   How many people believe that the Federal Reserve is providing a service?   How many of you believe that you are so insignificant that you cannot change or affect the future of humanity? Each of these beliefs  is a huge dead-lead-ball that we carry in our "mental backpacks," and yet, millions of us are living our lives as if these six false beliefs were the true.   There are, at minimum, hundreds of dead-lead-balls that each of us carry.   

We'll bring just a few of the most critical ones to your attention.   What you do with them is your business, but remember, we are all in this together.   In this time of major social, political, economic, religious, and environmental changes, each and every one of us will share the consequences of our collective actions or lack of actions.   For example, burning coal for electric power affects every person on the entire planer, regardless of how much money they have or where they live. 

Fighting or Flowing:   The easiest way to change ones self is to change one's beliefs.   Change your beliefs and your behavior will  automatically change.

The easiest way to get others to change is to change or remove the payoffs.   Change or remove the reward (the benefits) from an action and the person's action will automatically change.

It's Wakeup Time:    Because beliefs dominate our lives and control our behavior, change for each of us starts within ourselves.   In order to change, we must examine and update our belief systems.    Here are a few places to begin looking for our own dead-lead-balls.

   Stuck in The Rapture

   Stuck in Atheism

   Stuck in Profits First

   Common Beliefs of the Grandfather Generation

To change your dead-lead-balls to gold, here are some places to start:

   The Three Immutable, Universal Laws

   The Vibrating Universe

   Seven Hermetic Principles

   Theta Healing / Theta-Transformation

Please remember that our main job is not one of action, but rather, one of creating awareness.
