Do you believe in me?

“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.” ~ Buddha ~

It has been said that people will believe anything. That is true, but you want to be careful what you choose to believe. Much of what we believe is our choice. Can you believe what you want?

In many cases you can. Many times repetition determines what we believe. That is how public opinion is manipulated. If you tell someone something often enough many will begin to believe it. Have you heard of people who believe their own lies?

The mind cannot tell the difference between that which is imagined and that which is real. So if we keep repeating something over and over we will begin to believe it is true.

This technique can be used to create your dream life. This is the purpose of affirmations and visualizations. Used wisely this can manifest miracles in your life.

But, be aware of this technique because it can be used against you, to make you believe something that someone else wants you to believe. This is how cults are formed. This is how people become trapped in cycles of victimization and others are able to control them.

As Buddha said so long ago, believe nothing unless you have determined that it is true by your own investigation and heart felt truth. Do not believe what I tell you unless it resonates with your internal knowing and take the time to research and verify all new information that comes to you.

I speak from my own experience and the lessons I learned are not meant for everyone. We all have our own paths through life. Some of the things that work for me may work for you. Many will not. Use what I tell you if you can, but find your own path through life.

No one knows what is best for you better than you. You were born with a guidance system that is infallible. The trouble is that we get disconnected from that system by the conditioning we are subjected to as we grow up. Our society does not want you to listen to that guidance because it wants to control you and your life.

Society does not realize that everyone would be better off if everyone were in touch with that guidance because that guidance comes from the source or God and is pure love. What a wonderful world this would be if everyone just lived with respect, love, and compassion for every other being in this world.

So I hope you will read my posts and find them helpful. However in the end you are your own guru and within you is everything that you need to live a life of love, abundance and joy.

TODAY’S TIP: When thinking of incorporating a new idea into your life, take time to research and verify that idea through several other sources.

Are you an independent thinker?
