Life will always be as it is regardless of your beliefs. Beliefs are used to provide false comfort and it’s really not needed if you simply live with what arises…
The definition of belief is a strong trust in someone or something that is assumed to be true. Is a belief wanting things to work out the way you think they should be or is it accepting things as they are and not wanting them to be different? The lack of being able to live by the accepting principles caused my entire struggle with life. Belief is a word attached to a story, there are many interpretation of beliefs. The way I used beliefs was as though there was something that was going to grant my wishes; it’s not a big surprise that this kind of belief caused many problems. I only had beliefs in the material world. I had to use things in order to feel good which meant I only had myself to rely on to get what I thought I needed for satisfaction.
At the time though it is what was inside me. I firmly held onto a belief that if God didn’t grant my wishes where was the need for it. If I didn’t get what I desired I didn’t need a belief for this; I could be disappointed without it. So this was the path that was laid before me so I took care of things myself; I might as well, after all God wasn’t doing anything for me, but what I truly wanted was a magician.
It’s not this way today, but not because there is a belief in something else. Today the belief lie has been exposed and my trust lies in what is. Truth of what is isn’t a belief that everything is going to go my way, it means it’s the way it is and that’s the way it’s going to be. There’s no longer the need for a story in my life because I live life as it arises. Through the practice of being with what is, there’s a knowing that life will work out in life’s way, not mine; this doesn’t need a belief. I have stopped using a belief story of getting something or having someone that’s going to take care of my life. Life is life, it takes care of itself. I’m just one part and whatever happens; life is as it is not as I think it should be. This is the acceptance of being with the reality of what is. I don’t need a belief to live my life because life will always be as it is regardless of what the Conditioned Mind wants to use to make me think it should be different; a belief changes what is to what isn’t…
