New Approach To Life

Mindset Coaching

with Jessica Aouati

Are You Living a Joyful, Purpose-Driven Life?

What is the New Approach To Life?

The New Approach to Life, if practiced and understood, leads to a life of emotional and physical well-being. It ushers in an exploration of true freedom, where relationship issues, health problems and money blocks literally cease to exist. A life in which you feel empowered; in which anxiety, stress, and self-doubt are eliminated. In short, it leads to one of the most elusive experiences on the planet: A life of happiness.

Too good to be true?
Not if you’re willing to change. If that’s the case, you can indeed expect your life to improve in presently unfathomable ways. To get to that point, all you need to do is leave behind your old approach to life of victimhood and control, and start to live the New Approach To Life of love and acceptance.

What’s the difference?
In the old approach to life, your life is subject to outside conditions, fate and luck. You strive to control people or conditions in order to feel better. You blame others for your misfortunes. You believe that the world is unsafe, that relationships are risky.

In the New Approach to Life, you don’t ask anyone to change. You accept people and challenging circumstances for what they truly are: teachers and events attracted by you and for you to propel you forward on your path of self-discovery. And you understand that your outside reality is a reflection of your inside reality. In other words, you know that the reality you live is a physical representation of your beliefs. And that to change your reality for the better, you must change your limiting beliefs.

Hi, I'm Jessica

Most of my clients are experienced therapists, life coaches and spiritual educators. Many are thriving artists and highly successful businessmen and women.

All understand that freedom and joy are their birthright. Yet they often feel at the mercy of outside circumstances. They feel restricted. Powerless. Victimized even. They wish for long-lasting, positive change but don’t know how to manifest it—until they work with me.

I have learned to create a preferred reality deliberately—regardless of conditions or circumstances—and I teach my clients to do the same. See what they have to say.

Why Affirmations Don’t Work

(For Most People)

Have you tried affirmations—to no avail?
Wondering why affirmations actually work for some people?
What’s their secret?

Daily Inspiration

The first important step is to realize that your beliefs about reality are just that - beliefs about reality and not necessarily attributes of reality. You must make a clear distinction between you and your beliefs. You must then realize that your beliefs are physically materialized.

What you believe to be true in your experience is true. To change the physical effect you must change the original belief—while being quite aware that for a time physical materializations of the old beliefs may still hold.

If you completely understand what I am saying, however, your new beliefs will—and quickly—begin to show themselves in your experience. But you must not be concerned for their emergence, for this brings up the fear that the new ideas will not materialize, and so this negates your purpose.

An individual will often be striving for some goal that appears blocked, and hence he or she uses all available energy and strength to circumnavigate the blockage. The blockage is usually a belief which needs to be understood or removed rather than bypassed.

[To Jane:] Your own ideas concerning the artist in society being poor, mistreated and at the mercy of others—now this is a core belief of yours that you consider a truth, and the nature of reality.
It severely limits you. [...] That is the nature of an invisible belief.

Project yourself into a satisfying future. Remind yourself that the future is indeed there if you want it, and that you can grow into that future as easily as you grew from the past into the present.
The fear that blocks that energy can indeed be dissipated, if new beliefs are inserted for old ones.

Expectation, whether it is wanted or unwanted, is a powerful point of attraction. Your expectation is always what you believe. But the word expectation does imply more what you are wanting than what you are not wanting. It is a more positive word than it is a negative word. But of course, you could expect negatively—and whatever you expect, you will get!

There is a beauty and a strength and a joy in looking within yourselves and a freedom from bondage... You will find this joy and this freedom by learning to look inward and by realizing that you create the reality that you know.

Even false beliefs will seem to be justified in terms of physical data, since your experience in the outside world is the materialization of those beliefs.

You must understand that your ideas and thoughts do not exist as phantom or shadow images without substance. They are electromagnetic realities. They affect your physical being and they are automatically translated by your nervous system into the stuff of your flesh and of your experience.

You may finally come to a half-understanding of the nature of reality and wail, 'I believe that I caused these ill effects, but I find myself unable to reverse them.' If this is the case, then regardless of what you have told yourself thus far, you still do not believe that you are the creator of your existence.

Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don’t want.

In physical life you see what you want to see. You perceive from the available field of reality certain data—data selected carefully by you in accordance with your ideas of what reality is. You create the data to begin with.

If you believe all men are evil, you simply will not experience the goodness in men. You will be completely closed to it. They in turn will always show you their worst side. You will telepathically see to it that others dislike you, and you will project your dislike upon them.

Your experience, in other words, follows your expectations.

The most rejuvenating idea of all, and the greatest step to any true illumination, is the realization that your exterior life springs from the invisible world of your reality through your conscious thoughts and beliefs, for then you realize the power of your individuality and identity.

You cannot separate your beliefs about reality from the reality that you experience. Your beliefs about reality form it.

You must understand and examine your beliefs, realize that they form your experience, and consciously change those that do not give the effects you want.

At every point you do indeed have the free will, through your beliefs, to alter your reality.

You are learning how to form reality from your own beliefs, while having at the same time the freedom to choose those beliefs—to choose your mental state.

Despite all appearances, conditions of an exterior nature do not cause wars, or poverty, or disease, or any of the unfortunate circumstances apparent in your world.

Your beliefs form your reality. Your thoughts generate practical experience. When these change, conditions will change.

To add your own energy, focus, and concentration to dire circumstances in other portions of the world does not help, but adds to, such situations.

You are always living a reflection of whatever you are outputting. And so, if you get into a little pocket where a lot of people are being rude, it’s probably because you are being rude—or because you have been aware of people being rude.

Nothing ever happens to you that is not part of your vibration.

When you want something that you believe, it feels good. But when you have a desire that you doubt, then that desire does not feel good because the vibrational content of your desire and the vibrational content of your belief does not match. Negative emotion is simply present when you are thinking in opposition to your own desire.

Once more, if you think of daily life as an ever-moving three-dimensional painting with you as the artist, then you will realize that as your beliefs change so will your experience. You must accept the idea completely, however, that your beliefs form your experience.

Discard those beliefs that are not bringing you those effects that you want. In the meantime, you will often be in the position of telling yourself that something is true in the face of physical data that seems completely contradictory.

You may say, “I live amid abundance and am free from want,” while your eyes tell you that the desk is piled with bills. You must realize that you are the one who produced that “physical evidence” that still faces you, and you did so through your beliefs.

There is nothing that can free you more than a belief, and there is
nothing that can hold you in bondage more than a belief.

If you believe you are at the mercy of physical events, you entertain a false belief.

If you feel that your present experience was set in circumstances beyond your control, you entertain a false belief.

Even false beliefs will seem to be justified in terms of physical data, since your experience in the outside world is the materialization of those beliefs.

Someone asked us recently, “Is there any limitation to the body’s ability to heal?” And we said, “None other than the belief that you hold.”

And he said, “Then why aren’t people growing new limbs?” And we said, “Because no one believes that they can."

You are perceptual beings with different vantage points and — it does not matter how much information is given — you cannot see beyond the vibrational limits of where you are standing.

You cannot live or see or experience outside of your own individual beliefs.

Changing one's beliefs is a bold endeavor. It is quite possible that along the way you may become discouraged or disillusioned.

At such times it is a good idea to give yourself time to relax. Turn your attention to something else entirely, and mentally say, 'To hell with it all for now.'

The entire idea involves a process in which you try and not try at the same time, in which you do not strain to achieve results, but instead gently begin to allow yourself to follow the contours of your own subjective feelings, to uncover those spiritual and biologically valid beliefs of early childhood, and to bring to them the very best wisdom that you have acquired throughout your life so far.

Experience is the product of the mind, the spirit, conscious thoughts and feelings, and unconscious thoughts and feelings.

These together form the reality that you know. You are hardly at the mercy of a reality, therefore, that exists apart from yourself, or is thrust upon you.

What exists physically exists first in thought and feeling. There is no other rule. […] As soon as you recognize this fact, you can begin at once to alter those conditions that cause you dismay or dissatisfaction.

In physical reality you are learning that your thoughts have reality,
and that you create the reality that you know.

The Thoughts I Think Determine the Relationship I Attract… You are the thinking, vibrating attractor of your experience; and the thoughts you think determine everything about the life that you live.

As you turn your attention toward the positive aspects of the personalities and behaviors of others with whom you share your planet, you will train your point of attraction in the direction of only what you desire.

Not only does the power of your thought determine which people make their way into your life, but the power of your thought determines how they behave once they get there.

You see and feel what you expect to see and feel.
The world as you know it is a picture of your expectations.

Events are not things that happen to you. They are materialized experiences formed by you according to your expectations and beliefs.

Your beliefs meet you in the face when you look in the mirror. They form your image. You cannot escape your beliefs. They are, however, the method by which you create your experience.

When I speak to you about beliefs, you think of negative beliefs, you see. But, you are all sitting here quite physical in front of me. Your eyes move, your heads nod, your blood thunders through your veins. You quite obviously, all of you, believe that you are alive. And, the belief serves you well. You believe that it is autumn. And so, it is. So, do not necessarily think in terms of negative beliefs.

Tell yourself this often. Create your own life now, using your beliefs as an artist uses color.

There is no condition that you cannot change, except one indisputably physically accepted at birth within the realms of creaturehood, such as a liability in terms of a missing organ, or a functional lack.

If you have been filled with self-pity because of a disease or a life situation, then seize the initiative. Face your beliefs honestly and find out the reason for the difficulty.

And there is no struggle unless you believe that you must struggle. And it is not hard unless you believe that it is difficult.

Matter is the evolution of energy. First there is thought, then there is thought form, and then there is matter. Matter is only thought that has been thought upon by more.

If an annoying letter arrives and you react to it negatively, the negativity preceded the letter and caused it to materialize.

The inner self always attempts to maintain the body's equilibrium and health, but many times your own beliefs prevent it from coming to your aid with even half of the energy available to it.

Often only when you are in dire straits do you open up the doors to this great energy, when it is much too clear that your previous beliefs and behavior have not worked.

You have at your disposal the means to insure your health.

The body is equipped, ideally again now, to rid itself of any disease, and to maintain its stability into what you would call advanced old age, with only a gradual overall change.

At its best, however, the change would bring about spiritual alterations. Now certain individuals glimpse this great natural healing ability of the body, and use it.

These powers of the body are biologically quite achievable in practical terms, but only by a complete change of focus and belief.

You have an overall set of beliefs, some of which are limiting and others are more empowering.

These beliefs inform your perception of yourself within your reality. This creates your vibration.

Your reality is the perfect reflection of your vibration. Alter your overall set of beliefs from limiting to more empowering and you raise your vibration and attract a new reality.

What you believe about yourself, your world and the people in it is limited.

Those old beliefs must be shed and replaced by more empowering beliefs.

It does you no good to hold onto old, outdated and limiting beliefs.

When your limiting beliefs are triggered, you will feel fear and also negative emotion. This happens every single time without fail.

Fear, which is always based on limiting beliefs, is alerting you to the fact that you are perceiving an illusion.

There is a system that will help you discover the specific limiting beliefs that are holding you apart from the life you truly desire.

If the limiting belief goes undiscovered, you will not be able to shift to the vibration that will enable you to deliberately manifest your desires.

If you believe that other people can make you feel good or bad, you are approaching life as a victim. You are at the mercy of their words, deeds and actions.

If the words are kind, you believe you’ll feel good, but if they are mean, you will feel bad. Thus you perceive that other people can create in your reality and this leaves you to be the victim to their words and actions.

That is simply a limiting belief that you picked up along the way; most likely during childhood.

The fact is that you are the creator of your reality. No one else can create in your reality and you cannot create in the reality of others. They may influence you to a greater or lesser degree, but this is always your choice.

If you are choosing to allow their words to cause you negative emotion, it’s simply because you are unwilling or unable to discover and address your limiting beliefs. Without the limiting belief, their words or actions could not influence you away from your alignment.

You very much want to discover these limiting beliefs because if you don’t, your life will not become what you truly want it to be.

The element of physical reality designed to uncover hidden limiting beliefs is called “The Manifestation Event.”

Whenever something happens in your reality and you feel negative emotion, you have encountered a manifestation event that points to a limiting belief.

Your beliefs are neither true nor false; they are either limiting or empowering. You have absolute control over your general mental construct, but you must first acknowledge that it exists and that it is unique to you.

If we are talking about health, it is to your beliefs that we must look. ... It is up to you to form a body of beliefs that is worthy of your physical image—for you are nourished by your beliefs, and those beliefs can cause your daily bread to add to your vitality, or add to your cares and stress.

You have adopted a set of beliefs that create your perception of yourself within your reality.

Since you currently view yourself from a limited perspective, as compared to who you truly are, your entire set of beliefs is false.

While some are more empowering than limiting, they are overall quite limiting. If they become a bit more empowering (meaning a bit more true) you would perceive reality as a bit more true. You would then receive a reflection of your vibration that is closer to the truth.

Therefore, your aim is to create a brand new set of beliefs that come closer to the truth of your reality.

You affect the structure of your own body through your thoughts.

If you believe in heredity, heredity itself becomes a strong suggestive factor in your life. A belief in heredity can help bring about the precise malady in the body that you believed was there all along, until your scientific instruments uncover the ‘faulty mechanism,’ or whatever, and there is the evidence for all to see.

“There are obviously some conditions that in your terms are inherited, showing themselves almost instantly after birth, but these are of a very limited number in proportion to those diseases you believe are hereditary—many cancers, heart problems, arthritic or rheumatoid disorders.

A limiting belief is not wrong or bad, it's simply limiting. It brings up fear when contemplating inspired action.

Sometimes you are able to push past the fear to act on the inspired idea. When this occurs, the limiting belief is no longer limiting.

However, if you are unable or unwilling to push past the fear, then the limiting belief remains intact. In other words, the way to rise above a limiting belief and render it impotent is to simply act when inspired.

The action itself will cause expansion and bring in new information that changes the limiting belief itself.

To be a deliberate creator, you must understand that all of your fears stem from limiting beliefs. Those beliefs are simply missing information that will be gathered as you act on inspired ideas. Once you have acted, the information will come and the limiting beliefs will no longer be limiting.

The belief that you must become better is a limiting belief caused by the fear that you are not good enough. You are good enough. You are great. The illusion that you are not is caused by fear. Take a look at that fear. Process that fear. Realize it’s irrational and discard it.

The only way to fully awaken is to doubt any belief that is limiting and to prove to yourself that it is false.

The limiting belief is intense. It is strong. It masquerades as a form of protection. Most people are unaware that they have any limiting beliefs. They believe them all to be true. They would not dare alter them, because their current belief structure is reinforced by the reality that it creates.

To alter one's belief structure is to change one’s reality.

No two people have ever had the same experience, because their beliefs and the intensity of those beliefs form a unique perception of every event.

The knowledge that your shackles are nothing more than a set of limiting beliefs will allow you to contest those very beliefs. Once you do, you begin the process of awakening.

A tree does not have to ask for nourishment from the ground or the sun, and so everything that you need is available to you in your practical experience.

If you believe you are not worthy of nourishment, if you believe that life itself is dangerous, then your own beliefs make it impossible for you to fully utilize that available help. […]

You are a portion of All That Is; therefore the universe leans in your direction. It gives. It rings with vitality. Then forsake beliefs that tell you otherwise.

Unless you learn to process your limiting beliefs, you will have less success creating a vibrational match to the life you intended to live.

Your limiting beliefs limit you from living that life. You either process them and change your vibration, or you hold onto them and attract more of the life you are living now.

It is always your choice.

When you experience a negative emotion, it is your clue from the universe that there is something you need to work out in your belief system.

This is the only real way to uncover limiting beliefs.

Without the presence of limiting beliefs, you would always see reality as it truly is. Your limiting beliefs affect your perception of reality. They distort it. They cause you to see things that are not there.

If you see something or someone and perceive it as bad, you do so only from a limited perspective imposed by a limiting belief. Address the belief rather than attempt to control the conditions.

The universe is a system that responds to your vibration. You are always in control since you have the power to choose your thoughts, beliefs and expectations. No one can create in your reality, not even the universe. You give the universe instructions by the quality of thoughts, beliefs and actions you choose to put forth.

In order for you to receive that which you want, you will have to change into a version of you that is ready for the manifestation of your desire. You will have to undergo change. Mostly the change is to your current set of beliefs.

The universe is molding you into the version of you which will recognize and be ready for the manifestation of your desire when it arrives.

Until then, there's work that needs to be done. There are beliefs that must be modified. There is the current version of you that must transform into the expanded version of you.

Everything you receive is a match to your vibration. That means that essentially everything is a response to your thoughts and beliefs and feelings.

You allow money to flow in and out of your life exactly as you believe it should. You make exactly the amount of money you think you should be making based on your beliefs about yourself and what's possible.

This could be viewed as highly limiting or highly beneficial.

You can allow more money to flow into your life when you feel you are worthy and deserving of it. […] It has nothing to do with your professional performance or productivity unless you believe it does.

Use the time you have now to start understanding that everything is a match to how you feel and what you believe. Realize that as long as you believe you'll be taken care of, then you will be in the state of allowing. When you worry about money, you temporarily restrict the flow of money. If the economy takes a downturn and you believe that you will be unaffected, then you will be. If you believe the economy has a direct impact of your finances, then it will. It's all a matter of perspective and belief.

Remember that you have a lot of limiting beliefs, but they are all false. Your work now is to reduce the intensity of those limiting beliefs so that they do not take you off your inspired path.

If your life is not magically unfolding with every step, it’s because you are offering some resistance. It’s because you have some limiting beliefs about yourself and those beliefs limit you from taking steps along your inspired path. In fact, they often limit you from maintaining an aligned state of being.

You have limiting beliefs. Those limiting beliefs have been attracted and they serve you. They might make you feel safe. They might allow you to feel somewhat secure. But they don’t really do anything other than limit your experience in this life.

You very much want to discover and process your limiting beliefs so that you can change your mental construct. […]

You want to be triggered, feel the unpleasant emotion, discover the limiting belief and process it so that your mental construct is transformed and your vibration is raised.

Each time you discover and process a limiting belief, your overall mental construct is improved.

By succumbing to fear rather than moving through it, you make the fear stronger. Your limiting beliefs become intensified.

By processing the fear, analyzing it, doing the work to reduce its intensity, you make it much easier to move through it in the future.

You build self-confidence and faith. You build strong and new beneficial beliefs that will aid you in the future.

Nothing imprisons you except your thoughts. Nothing limits you except your fears. Nothing controls you except your beliefs.

Your joy, vitality and accomplishments do not come from the outside to you as the result of events that ‘happen to you.’

They spring from inner events that are the result of your beliefs.

Your experience in the world of physical matter flows outward from the center of your inner psyche. Then you perceive this experience.

Exterior events, circumstances, and conditions are meant as a kind of living feedback. Altering the state of the psyche automatically alters the physical circumstances. There is no other valid way of changing physical events. […]

You change even the most permanent-seeming conditions of your life constantly through the varying attitudes you have toward them. There is nothing in your exterior experience that did not originate within you.

The way of least resistance is always followed for desires that are fulfilling and fitting to your nature. The only impediments are those you impose through your negative beliefs.

Now, the intellect, basically, and the intuition are wedded, as man and wife. But, in your society you have separated them so that it seems to you that the intellect must question always what the intuitions know.

You believe that you are being masculine and intellectual when you question what you know already.

You believe that you are being gullible and stupid and feminine when you accept what you know intuitively.

This has to do with your cultural beliefs. The intellect and the intuition are wedded. They are one. They are meant to work together.

The question “Why?” is a very good question to ask yourself whenever you feel negative emotion. The negative emotion is an indication of a limiting belief. The question “Why?” allows you to delve deeper into yourself to find the answer. Why are you feeling negative emotion?

There’s a belief that exists within you that is causing you to perceive a danger that does not exist. Find that belief, prove it’s false and the fear will evaporate. When the fear is gone, you will return to a state of alignment and become receptive to inspiration that will move you forward.

Your action has nothing to do with your abundance! Your abundance is a response to your vibration.

Of course, your belief is part of your vibration. So if you believe that action is part of what brings your abundance, then you’ve got to unravel that.

It doesn't matter what you think you know, it only matters what you believe. You have complete control over your beliefs.

If you choose to maintain a limited belief system, you will live life as a victim and your reactions to events and conditions will be based in fear.

If you choose a more empowering belief system, your life will radically improve, because more of your actions and decisions will be based in love.

You are used to critiquing certain aspects of yourself in the false belief that self-improvement would lead to what you perceive you are lacking.

This belief has been programmed into you from a young age, but it is simply not true. Your life is only the reflection of your perception of yourself. The same is true with all of the people in your life as well as the present conditions.

You can follow any road that you choose, but until each individual realizes that he practically forms his own personal life, and has a part in the mass formation of reality that you know, then there is much learning ahead for that is the lesson you are meant to learn within physical reality.

You are meant to judge physical reality. You are meant to realize that physical reality is a materialization of your thoughts and feelings and images. You are meant to realize that the inner self forms that world.

If you feel fear, it's due to a limiting belief you are trying to hold on to. That's the only possible cause of any fear. If you allow the limiting belief to fall away, you remove the shackles and experience greater freedom.

Today is not like any other day you've ever experienced before. It is a new day, a new world and a new dimension. Anything is possible today. Everything you experience today leads to more growth and expansion. You are limitless. All of your limitations are self-imposed by your own unique set of limiting beliefs. Without those limiting beliefs, you would be limitless.

In order to receive what you truly want, you must alter your current set of beliefs. You do this through processing limiting beliefs and taking action when inspired.

When you act when inspired, the action itself will allow you to expand into a higher version with less intense limiting beliefs.

If you encounter a manifestation event in your relationship, a limiting belief has been triggered and you feel fear. Negative emotion comes as guidance to let you know that your current perception of reality is flawed.

If you choose to hold onto the illusion or act on urges to change or control conditions, you will enter a new dimension based in that fear. This will lead to more manifestation events until you choose to release your attachment to your limited perception of reality.

However, if you choose to release your limiting belief and choose a higher perspective, you will enter a new, more elevated reality.

If you perceive yourself as abundant and free, you are. If you perceive yourself in lack and limitation, you are.

Yes, you have beliefs, but those can be altered as you now have the tools to process them.

When you feel an emotion (either positive or negative) as an event occurs, it is a result of your perspective. You have a set of beliefs. Some of them are empowering, while others are limiting.

Your overall set of beliefs informs your vibration. Your perception of reality is formed from these beliefs. The beliefs themselves are neither true of false, they are simply limiting or empowering.

If you can alter your beliefs so they become more empowering and less limiting, you will raise your vibration and attract a new reality that is more relevant, more true, and more aligned with who you truly are.

If [an] event triggers a negative emotion, it's because you judge the event as bad or wrong. This can only happen when you harbor a limiting belief.

Without the limiting belief, you could not see the event as bad or wrong. Therefore the purpose of manifestation events [...] is to make you aware of limiting beliefs.

When you become aware of a limiting belief through a manifestation event, you can process that belief. You can analyze it and prove to yourself that the belief is not true, [that] it's simply limiting.

All limiting beliefs are false and you can find evidence in your own life or the lives of others that proves this belief is not true.

As you whittle away the intensity of limiting beliefs, you reduce the associated fear that comes up when those beliefs are triggered. This is important when it comes to inspiration. All inspiration will trigger some limiting belief.

However, if you have done the work to process the limiting beliefs beforehand, the associated fear will become small enough that you'll be able to push past the fear and act on the inspiration.

The inspired action will move you to greater levels of clarity and expansion.

Your mate is co-creating with you. He/she is helping you discover limiting and beneficial beliefs. This is their role.

They cannot be different than they are, for all they are is the mirror to how you view yourself within the relationship.

If they say or do something that triggers a belief, and you feel either positive or negative emotion as a result, they have done their job in assisting you in the discovery of your beliefs (along with the intensity of those beliefs).

This is very good indeed.

Regardless of the nature of your beliefs, they are indeed made flesh and material. [...]

Your thoughts blossom into events. If you think the world is evil, you will meet with events that seem evil.

There are no accidents in cosmic terms, or in terms of the world as you know it. Your beliefs grow as surely in time and space as flowers do.

When you realize this you can even feel their growing."

[...] If you become aware of your own conscious thoughts, these themselves will give you clues for they clearly speak your beliefs.

If, for example, you have scarcely enough money on which to live, and you examine your thoughts, you may find yourself constantly thinking, "I can never pay this bill, I never have any luck, I'll always be poor." […]

When you find these thoughts in yourself you may say, and rather indignantly: "But those things are all true. I am poor. I cannot meet my bills," and so forth.

In so doing, you see, you accept your belief about reality as a characteristic of reality itself, and so the belief is transparent or invisible to you. But it causes your physical experience.

The little ones still remember how to use the power of their imagination. They are still engaged in the utilization of their imagination — that is one of the reasons that keeps them so exhilarated.

A belief in guilt would be a cementing structure that would hold together other similar beliefs and add to their strength.”

Look around you. Your entire physical environment is the materialization of your beliefs.

Your sense of joy, sorrow, health or illness — all of these are also caused by your beliefs. If you believe that a given situation should make you unhappy, then it will, and the unhappiness will then reinforce the condition.

Your conscious beliefs direct the functioning of your body. It is not the other way around.

Your beliefs generate emotion. It is somewhat fashionable to place feelings above conscious thoughts, the idea being that emotions are more basic and natural than conscious reasoning is.

The two actually go together but your conscious thinking largely determines your emotions, and not the other way around. Your beliefs generate the appropriate emotion that is implied.

A long period of inner depression does not just come upon you. Your emotions do not betray you. Instead, over a period of time you have been consciously entertaining negative beliefs that then generated the strong feelings of despondency.

If your beliefs about existence are fearful, then the emotional reactions will be those leading to stress. Your own value judgments need examination in such a case. Your imagination of course fires your emotions, and it also follows your beliefs faithfully.

As you think so you feel, and not the other way around.

Your emotions and actions follow your beliefs. If you believe you are sick then for all intents and purposes you are sick. If you believe that you are healthy then you are healthy.

There is much written about the nature of healing, […], but there is also healing-in-reverse, in which case an individual loses a belief in his or her health and accepts instead the idea of personal illness.

One belief, of course, can be dependent upon many others, each generating its own emotion and imaginative reality.

The belief in illness itself depends upon a belief in human unworthiness, guilt and imperfection, for example.

The belief, any belief, is a conscious formation of ideas that are accepted as physical truth.

If you believe that you are pulled in all directions you will be. Your experience will prove it out. If you believe there is no peace in your world, in your private world, there will be none. If you want peace you must insert the belief in it and then your experience will justify it.

You can be alone in the silence, fairly isolated, and yet filled with conflict if it is within you. You can be surrounded by some noise […] or traffic, and feel its great synthesis with the vitality of life, and it can be conducive to peace.

This does not mean that silence at times is not preferable to noise. It means that you make your own reality.

The belief in discordant conditions initiates it. I am not saying that others are not involved, but that discordant thoughts bring about discordant reactions in others, to which they will react according to their own beliefs.

But no one creates your private reality but you.

Your private beliefs merge with those of others, and form your cultural reality. The distorted ideas of the medical profession or the scientists, or of any other group, are not thrust upon you, therefore.

They are the result of your mass beliefs — isolated in the form of separate disciplines.

The idea of prevention is always based upon fear — for you do not want to prevent something that is joyful.

Often, therefore, preventative medicine causes what it hopes to avoid.

If you do have health problems, it is much better to look for their reasons in your immediate experience, rather than assigning them a cause in the distant past.

The reasons for maladies are almost always present in current life experience (long pause) — and even though old events from childhood may have originally activated unhealthy behavior, it is present beliefs that allow old patterns of activity to operate.

Your present beliefs structure the memories which will parade before you now—and what you remember will seem to justify the beliefs.

Your physical environment and conditions are a mirror of your own basic conceptions of reality. If the environment changes it is because your inner conceptions have changed, and no smallest alteration is made within physical reality that has not first been made within the inner self.

As long as you believe that others are taking advantage of you, they will do so. The origin is in yourself, and this is what you have not so far understood.

You must realize that everything is working out perfectly for you, whether you are on your path or not. If you are not walking your inspired path, the universe will bring you manifestation events that will enable you to regain your path.

They come to point out limiting beliefs. If you process those beliefs (rather than calling the events wrong or bad), you will regain your inspired path. This is what you truly want.

It will take a bit of time to get onto your path if you have been struggling to control conditions. The thing you try to control most is yourself.

You have a deep belief that you must be different than you are for others to like, love and respect you.

This is not the case at all. The more authentic you become, the more you will attract people and manifestations that resonate with the wonderful person that is at the core of who you truly are.

The first key to engaging the law of attraction in a way that aligns with who you truly are and what you truly want is acceptance.

Acceptance is not the same as settling for what is. It is the ultimate realization that what-is is the perfect reflection of the vibration you have been offering and are offering now.

The body form is a mirror of beliefs, and will accurately materialize in flesh those ideas held by the conscious mind. That is one of the body’s primary functions.

A sick body is performing that function then, in its way, as well as a healthy one. It is your most intimate feedback system, changing with your thought and experience, giving you in flesh the physical counterpart of your thought.

So it is futile to become angry at a symptom, or to deride the body for its condition when it is presenting you with the corporeal replica of your own thought, as it was meant to do.

If all of your beliefs, not just your “fortunate” ones, were not materialized, you would never thoroughly understand on a physical level that your ideas create reality.

If only your “positive” beliefs were materialized then you would never clearly comprehend the power of your thought, for you would not completely experience its physical results.

Your beliefs are like hypnotic focuses. You reinforce them constantly through the normal inner talking in which you all indulge.

There is no need to search endlessly into the past of this life or any other, for the original causes for beliefs.

Making a change in the present of a certain kind [of belief] will automatically alter all beliefs across the board, so to speak.

When you do not understand the nature of the soul, and do not realize that your thoughts and feelings form physical reality, then you feel powerless to change it.

Your emotions and your imagination both follow your belief. When the belief vanishes then the same emotional context is no longer entertained, and your imagination turns in other directions. Beliefs automatically mobilize your emotional and imaginative powers.

One of the most hampering beliefs of all…is the idea that the clues to current behavior are buried and usually inaccessible. This belief closes to you the contents of your own conscious mind and prevents you from looking there for the answers that are available.

Illnesses usually represent unfaced problems, in your terms, and these dilemmas embody challenges meant to lead you to greater achievement and fulfillment.

Because body and mind operate so well together, one will attempt to cure the other, and will often succeed if left alone. The organism has its own beliefs in health that are unconscious on your part.

Civilizations do not rise and fall because of weapons, or economics, or technologies.

They rise and fall because of the great sway of emotion and belief.

When you understand the nature of reality and your part in forming it, then you can no longer look to others to solve your problems for you, and you realize that your own beliefs are the rich creative elements that you yourself must mix and match.

Quite simply, a belief in the good without a belief in the evil, may seem highly unrealistic to you. This belief, however, is the best kind of insurance that you can have, both during physical life and afterward.

[...] In physical life it will keep your body healthier, keep you psychologically free of many fears and mental difficulties, and bring you a feeling of ease and spontaneity in which the development of your abilities can be better fulfilled.

After death it will release you from the belief in demons and hell, and enforced punishment. You will be better prepared to understand the nature of reality as it is.

In your society scientific medical beliefs operate, and a kind of preventative medicine in which procedures [of inoculation] are taken, bringing about in healthy individuals a minute disease condition that then gives immunity against a more massive visitation.

In the case of any given disease this procedure might work quite well for those who believe in it.
It is, however, the belief, and not the procedure, that works.

I am not recommending that you abandon the procedure when it obviously works for so many—yet you should understand why it brings about the desired result.

I repeat: Your ideas and beliefs form the structure of your experience. Your beliefs and the reasons for them can be found in your conscious mind.

If you accept the idea that the reasons for your behavior are forever buried in the past of this life, or any other, then you will not be able to alter your experience until you change that belief.

In a manner of speaking, each belief can be seen as a powerful station, pulling to it from fields of probabilities only those signals to which it is attuned, and blocking out all others.

To be healthy you must believe in health. A good physician is a changer of beliefs. He will replace an idea of illness with one of health. Whatever methods or drugs he uses will not be effective unless this change of belief takes place.

[…] The facts are that you choose even the kind of illness that you have according to the nature of your beliefs. You are immune from ill health as long as you believe that you are.

Senility is a mental and physical epidemic—a needless one. You 'catch' it because when you are young you believe that old people cannot perform.

There are no inoculations against beliefs, so when young people with such beliefs grow old they become 'victims.'

The inner self is embarked upon an exciting endeavor, in which it learns how to translate its reality into physical terms. The conscious mind is brilliantly attuned to physical reality, then, and often so dazzled by what it perceives that it is tempted to think physical phenomena is a cause, rather than a result. Deeper portions of the self always serve to remind it that this is not the case.

When the conscious mind accepts too many false beliefs, particularly if it sees that inner self as a danger, then it closes out these constant reminders. When this situation arises the conscious mind feels itself assailed by a reality that seems greater than itself, over which it has no control. The deep feeling of security in which it should be anchored is lost.

The false beliefs must be weeded out so that the conscious mind can become aware of its source once again, and open to the inner channels of splendor and power available to it.

So — once more — you form reality through your beliefs, and your most intimate production is your physical body. [...] You organize on an unconscious level the atoms and molecules that compose your cells to form your body. [...] To change your body you change your beliefs, even in the face of physical data or evidence that conflicts.

Practically speaking, you do indeed form the appearance that reality takes through your conscious beliefs. Those beliefs are used as screening and directing agents, separating certain nonphysical probable events from others, and bringing them into three-dimensional actuality.

If you find great exuberance, health, effective work, abundance, smiles on the faces of those you meet, then take it for granted that your beliefs are beneficial. If you see a world that is good, people that like you, take it for granted, again, that your beliefs are beneficial.

But if you find poor health, lack of meaningful work, a lack of abundance, a world of sorrow and evil, then assume that your beliefs are faulty and begin examining them.

What is anger? It is a message indicating that a limiting belief exists and there is an irrational fear at the basis of that belief.

What is fun? It is a message that a beneficial belief exists and there is love at the basis of that belief.

Reduce the intensity of the limiting belief and the next time a similar event occurs, the intensity of the anger will be diminished.

Everything is possible in physical reality, just as it is in the nonphysical. [...] All new thoughts and ideas are waiting for you as soon as you reach vibrational alignment with them. [...] All you need is the desire to reach for them and the belief that you can become a vibrational match to them. You can literally be, have, and do anything you desire in this reality

Once you adopt a limiting belief, which is based in an irrational fear, you can never be completely free of that belief. It will always be with you in some form along with everything else you attract.

All you can do is reduce the intensity of limiting beliefs so that they no longer limit you. The Art of Analysis is the process by which, over time, you reduce the intensity of each limiting belief.

The Art of Analysis is a process that must be utilized each and every time you feel negative emotion. […] There are no accidents. Everything that comes to you is for your direct benefit, if you can see how.

The reason you enter into situations that cause negative emotion is so that you can have an opportunity to analyze beliefs that do not serve you and reduce the intensity of those beliefs.

If you do not adjust your beliefs, you will be constantly experiencing negative emotion. [...] You might really believe that your beliefs are right and good and valid and are indeed facts, but if you feel negative emotion, you can know for certain that your beliefs are limiting and are therefore false.
You can remove them.

You have a set of beliefs; some of which are empowering and some of which are limiting. Your unique perception of reality is formed from these beliefs. Alter those beliefs and your perception of reality changes.

When you perception changes from fear to more love, you will feel diﬀerently about yourself and your life.

No beliefs are true other than those based in love, acceptance and perfection. The most empowering belief you can have is the following, “I am love.”

All other beliefs are limiting to greater or lesser degrees.

Your beliefs about age will affect your body and all of its capacities… You may become hard of hearing because you firmly believe that this must come with age. You will alter the chemical composition of your body according to your beliefs about its activity through the various portions of your life.

Elements, chemicals, cells, atoms and molecules—these partially compose your living sculpture, but you are the one who directs their activity through your conscious beliefs, which then initiate all of those great creative powers that give your body its life, and insure its constant reflection of the self that you believe you are.

The integrity of any intuitive information depends upon the inner integrity of the person who receives it. Expansion of consciousness, therefore, requires honest self-appraisal, an awareness of one's own beliefs and prejudices.

Many people believe fervently that with approaching age they will meet a steady, disastrous deterioration in which the senses and the mind will be dull, and the body, stricken with disease, will lose all of its vigor and aging.

Many young people believe such nonsense, and therefore they set themselves up to meet the very conditions they fear.

The mind grows wiser with age when it is allowed to do so. There is even an acceleration of thought and inspiration, much like that experienced in the adolescent years, that suddenly brings a new understanding to the aged individual, and provides an impetus that should help the person to achieve greater comprehension—a comprehension that should quell all fears of death.

As you alter the belief, the physical evidence will gradually begin to "prove" your new belief.

If you do not like the effects of a belief you must alter it, for no manipulation of the exterior conditions themselves will release you.

Again, you make your own reality. When you view the world, social groups, political groups, your friends, your private experience – these are all attracted into your realm of activity by your beliefs. Natural hypnosis, as explained in the last chapter, leads you to seek out those situations that will confirm your beliefs and to avoid those that threaten them.

You cannot say, 'I live in a safe universe, but I am threatened by the economic problems of my state,' move to Pennsylvania, or to Timbuktu. It will make no difference, because the threat will follow you and erupt in one way or another, while you believe in that system.

You form your private and joint reality. Those beliefs of your own that went underground, so to speak, must be altered.

Each individual is a good person, an individualized portion of universal energy itself. Each person is meant to express his or her own characteristics and abilities.

Life means energy, power, and expression. Those beliefs, if taught early enough, would form the most effective system of preventative medicine ever known.

I would like you to recognize your own beliefs in several areas. You must realize that any idea you accept as truth is a belief that you hold.

You must, then, take the next step and say, “It is not necessarily true, even though I believe it.” You will, I hope, learn to disregard all beliefs that imply basic limitations

Your present beliefs govern the actualization of events. Creativity and experience are being formed moment by moment by each individual.

The past as you think of it, and the subconscious, again as you think of it, have little to do with your present experience outside of your beliefs about them. The past contains for each of you some moments of joy, strength, creativity and splendor, as well as episodes of unhappiness, despair perhaps, turmoil and cruelty. Your present convictions will act like a magnet, activating all such past issues, happy or sad. You will choose from your previous experience all of those events that reinforce your conscious beliefs, and so ignore those that do not.

The inner self is embarked upon an exciting endeavor, in which it learns how to translate its reality into physical terms. The conscious mind is brilliantly attuned to physical reality, then, and often so dazzled by what it perceives that it is tempted to think physical phenomena is a cause, rather than a result. Deeper portions of the self always serve to remind it that this is not the case.

[...] The false beliefs must be weeded out so that the conscious mind can become aware of its source once again, and open to the inner channels of splendor and power available to it.

Your conscious beliefs direct the functioning of your body. It is not the other way around.

Much has been written about the nature and importance of suggestion. One of the current ideas in vogue holds that you are constantly at the mercy of suggestion. Your own conscious beliefs are the most important suggestions that you receive.

All other ideas are rejected or accepted according to whether or not you believe they are true, in line with the steady conscious chattering that goes on within your mind most of the day — the suggestions given to you by yourself.

In your daily physical life you are usually concerned simply with changing your beliefs about yourself, and then changing the beliefs others hold about you. You will find conflicting beliefs within yourself and you must become aware of these.

As an example, you may believe that you want to understand the nature of your inner self — you may tell yourself you want to remember your dreams, but at the same time still hold a belief in the basic unworthiness of the self, and be quite frightened of remembering your dreams because of what you might find there.

[…] As you alter the belief, the physical evidence will gradually begin to “prove” your new belief as faithfully as it did your old one. [...] While there are general categories of beliefs, and general reasons for them, you must become personally aware of your own, for no one person is completely like any other. The old beliefs served a purpose and fulfilled a need.

Each person experiences a unique reality, different from any other individual’s. This reality springs outward from the inner landscape of thoughts, feelings, expectations and beliefs. If you believe that the inner self works against you rather than for you, then you hamper its functioning — or rather, you force it to behave in a certain way because of your beliefs.

The conscious mind is meant to make clear judgments about your position in physical reality. Often false beliefs will prevent it from making these, for the egotistically held ideas will cloud its clear vision.

First of all, you must realize that no one can change your beliefs for you, nor can they be forced upon you from without. You can indeed change them for yourself, however, with knowledge and application.

It may be easy for you to see beliefs that are invisible to others in themselves. Reading this book, you may be able to point at friends or acquaintances and see clearly that their ideas are invisible beliefs which limit their experience — and yet be blind to your own invisible beliefs, which you take so readily as truth or characteristics of reality.

All of the people in your life who you perceive have wronged you in some way have simply done whatever was necessary to help you identify and process limiting beliefs. It is these limiting beliefs that cause you to separate from the power and authenticity of who you truly are.

You very much want to discover and process all of your limiting beliefs.

You are the creator of your reality. You are here to expand in love. Without fear, there would be no meaningful expansion. Without other people who act to illuminate your limiting beliefs, you would not be able to discover and then process them.

Pain is never caused by another person, but by your own limiting beliefs.
