The Power Of Beliefs by Avananda
Throughout history great mystics have tried to show mankind the tremendous power of beliefs. Believing, without a shred of doubt that something impossible, is possible, is how miracles are created. The miracle of your everyday life has been brought about by the same power of belief whether you are aware of it or not.
The key to greater happiness in you life is the recognition of the power that your beliefs have in shaping your character and creating your day-to-day reality. Beliefs are the roots from which all of your life's experiences grow. People, places, objects and events are attracted to you by the nature and power of your beliefs. Beliefs are the most fundamental and essential part of the mechanism by which you create your everyday reality. Your beliefs are a form of ordered energy that attracts physical events to you; this attractive force is similar to the electromagnetic force in nature.
Some beliefs are small and insignificant, such as believing that stepping on a spider is bad luck. More important beliefs carry larger stores of psychic energy in the form of emotions, desires and dreams. You may have a simple idea that life is always a struggle; this idea may grow and become more heartfelt when it is reinforced by your experiences and observations of the various events in the world. Any idea can grow in this manner when strengthened by experience and perception, no matter how damaging or irrational an idea may be. This is how our ideas about reality can become confused with the nature of reality itself.
Strongly held beliefs can affect your body’s health, draw welcome or unwelcome events to you, and attract people and lessons to you that are meant teach you about the nature your thoughts and feelings. Deeply held beliefs always become reality more quickly.
Unfortunately it doesn’t matter if your thoughts are good or bad, the only thing that matters is how much they mean to you: the more an idea or belief matters to you, the more likely that it will be mirrored in your life. In fact your life is meant to be a mirror in which you can see your deepest convictions reflected back at you through the medium of matter. Unless you realize at some point that the power to change your life does not exist in the mirror but in yourself, you may never be able to alter or change your reality for the better. The power is not out there – it is within you.

You need to wake up and realize what's going on, and become conscious of the power of your beliefs in order to begin to take charge of your life and shape your own destiny. Change is brought about by your choices and your choices are governed by your beliefs. This may be a startling revelation because the power of belief operates so silently and automatically that you do not notice the process.

You could be harboring some very self destructive beliefs and not realize that that those beliefs are creating your bad moods, ill health, or negative experiences. The good news is that you are a very powerful creature and can change anything about yourself you don’t like by understanding how your beliefs operate in your life.

If up till now you believed that life is harsh and difficult or that everything in life is a struggle or that you could never achieve your goals, then you may be creating the very reality you most fear by your negative beliefs. The law of attraction is neutral so any belief will manifest into reality if there is enough emotional energy connected to it. On the other hand if you believe that love is the nature of reality, or that you will overcome all your sorrows and be outrageously happy, or that you will achieve all of your goals then just as surely you will experience these things.

Believe in the good and it will heal you. Everyone of us can believe in the goodness of life, it is a choice, and if we have the ability to choice our beliefs then why not choose to believe that life is good and sweet, loving and kind. There certainly is a lot more evidence for the goodness of life than for its badness. We as a species have managed to survive all of histories evils through the indomitable spirit of cooperation, compassion and kindness. Mankind may be flawed, but like a Phoenix always rises from the dust to soar again.

The spiritual formula for happiness could not be more simple: if you believe in goodness, if you believe in joy and love and kindness, then you will be happy, joyful and loving. It is axiomatic. So why not believe in the good? What possible rational argument could you have against it? Adopt positive life affirming beliefs and you will be happy – it’s as simple as that.

I want you to appreciate the true power of your thoughts, feelings and beliefs and realize that you can control your moods, overcome your anger, fear and depression, by just changing your negative beliefs about the world and about yourself into positive ones. This is the only true alchemy of the spirituality. Magic happens when you believe in love with all your heart and mind and soul. And beliefs are the means by which you can change your life from a barren desert of sorrow to a lush abundant land of fulfillment and love. Become like a child again and believe in love – who can stop you?

And while you are adopting a new life affirming belief system you will be greatly aided by assuming an attitude of self honesty, innocent trust in the good results of your new beliefs even before you see any of those results appear in your life.

The power of beliefs is like having a magic wand. This wand always works to grant you all your deeply held wishes and dreams but you are asleep and unaware of that you have it. And in your sleep you may be squandering its powers with trifles or spending all your energy worrying and thinking the worst or maybe you have totally lost hope and stopped dreaming altogether. You need to wake up and realize that the power of belief is within you right now. The magic power of beliefs is a gift given to you by your spirit to allow you to make of your life what you want. Wake up now and realize that you have this power, and then bring it out into the clear light of consciousness where you will be able to intentionally use it to turn your life around. I urge you to take back your power. Be bold and believe in love
