An excerpt from The Journey, by Arnold Patent, pages 42-43
(one of the selections in Ed’ Book Club)
Seeing Clearly
There is no limit to the unconditional love, support and abundance that the Universe offers us. There is also no limit to how much of this unconditional love, support and abundance we can accept, appreciate and share.
Progress
Every time I open a belief, I free myself from the sense of limitation contained in the belief, and I am now present in a new reality. We do not regress to positions that we have outgrown. What may seem like a fallback is just the return of what is left of the belief for further opening.
Every time I open a belief, I feel more peacefulness, harmony, abundance and joy - my Soul's natural state sitting under layers of beliefs I purposely accepted as the first part of my journey into the human experience. I trust that this opening process is a progression from living in the human as a human experience to living in the human as a Soul experience.
The beliefs I have intentionally and purposefully accepted as true become the lens through which I see life. I am not only accustomed to this way of seeing - I rely on it. I have accepted beliefs that some behaviors are good and others are bad, that viruses cause illnesses, and that some people are strong and others are weak.
As I proceed on my journey to open these beliefs, I exercise great patience and perseverance. I trust in my wholeness, completeness and power, and I also trust that the Universe is unconditionally loving and supportive at all times and under all circumstances. Maintaining this trust is the way I stay committed to continue with the process of opening myself to who I really am.
Beliefs and Knowing
Our conscious minds use our creativity to make up beliefs that give rise to the circumstances we have come into the human to explore. When we are ready to open these beliefs, our Souls guide us through the process, selecting the ones we are ready to open. The discomforts we feel are evidence of the beliefs we have not yet opened.
Every opening of a belief brings us closer to our knowing, which is our consciousness free of the sense of limitation contained in our beliefs. As stated previously, we do not retreat to positions we have outgrown. Once we open a belief, our greater clarity becomes a new platform from which we move to even greater clarity and knowing.
Our natural state is a consciousness free of beliefs: a state of total freedom, joy, abundance, harmony and peace. That state is always present, patiently awaiting our full acceptance and appreciation.
