54. Negative Beliefs Will Create And Attract Negative Realities
[Transcript]
Hi, I am Jonny John.
In this talk, we will talk about attracting more positive and newer experiences into our lives, which is done by transforming our Negative Beliefs.
So let's begin!
You are the Creator of your own reality, for your reality will always be created by your beliefs. So if you create the belief that you will be not be loved for who you are, that will become your reality no matter who comes along your way.
From a metaphysical perspective, you are also the Creator of your own experiences.
Because the Universe will always send you experiences to reflect your beliefs, for it sees your beliefs as the realities that you wish to explore.
So it is important to become aware of what beliefs we carry inside because when we lack the awareness, all things which happen to us can then seem random. We will no longer know why we are experiencing unhappiness but simply point at the person in front of us as the cause of our unhappiness. We will also no longer know why certain experiences keep coming into our lives and point at some unknown source in the sky as the source of our sufferings.
That is why it is so important to look inwards to learn more about ourselves.
And this can be done through the practice of meditation.
For it is only when we close the senses and look inwards that we can finally see what we are creating and how it is shaping our reality.
And through that awareness, we can then ask ourselves if this is what we truly want and then transform the beliefs which are no longer serving our desires.
The practice of meditation thus is important, for it will help you realize that you are the Creator.
Now let us explore the difference between a belief and a desire.
There is a saying that the Universe will send us what we desire. This can be true.
But realize, what is more powerful: The desire for something to happen? Or the belief that something will happen?
It is true that the Universe will send us what we desire. For when we have a desire, there will be a charge. But your beliefs also carry a charge. A more powerful charge. So which one do you think would be in charge of your experiences in life?
The choices we make in life will always be influenced by the beliefs we carry.
Likewise, the experiences we attract in life will be influenced by the belief we carry.
That is why for one to be the Creator of one's life, one must look within to discover the beliefs that are limiting them and contradicting their desires. And these are the Negative Ideas we have become attached to within.
Let us briefly talk about what Negative Ideas are.
Negative Ideas will always make you believe that you can't have something rather than you can.
Negative Ideas are ideas that promote limitation, Self-Rejection.
For instance—
"It is not ok to be lazy."
"It is not ok to be poor"
"It is not ok to make a mistake."
Negative Ideas will always produce the different suffering states of the mind, such as fears, unhappiness, judgment, impatience, anger, and so forth. The suffering is experienced because it's like the Infinite Creator pointing at the mirror to say it can't do this and that.
These negative states of the mind will always hold us back from creating what we really desire. For when you desire something out of fear, the fear will always overpower that desire.
For instance, when you desire for money out of the fear that money won't come to you, then you are simply asking for the experience of that fear to manifest.
Why is this?
A fear can simply be understood as a strong belief that something bad will happen.
It is a strongly rooted negative belief, quite powerfully charged as well.
Because if you do not believe that strongly in what your fears suggest, why are you worrying so much about it?
So a fear is really a deeply rooted negative belief.
So, realize the importance of transforming your fears, your negative beliefs if you desire for greater happiness, as the Universe will always give you what you believe is to be true. So it's difficult for you to receive happy experiences if you desire them with unhappiness.
Thus, to create and attract happier experiences into our lives, one has to discover and transform their Negative Beliefs—To look for the ideas which promote fears, indecisiveness, unhappiness, separation, doubt, and everything else which brings unhappiness.
Once the Negative Ideas are transformed, then we will naturally experience greater happiness, then we can Create with Clear Intent.
So without discovering and transforming the beliefs which are holding ourselves back, it can become difficult to create what we desire in life.
So, if you are not getting the good friends you desire in life, if you are not getting that promotion that you desire, if things are not going well for you, you can begin looking inwards to see if you have any negative beliefs that are currently holding you back from manifesting your desires.
Once your negative beliefs are addressed, your intentions will become clear. When the beliefs and desires are aligned as one, the Universe would then be able to hear.
And then newer opportunities will come your way!
But like writing a story, action will still be needed to set the story in stone. Use actions to intensify your beliefs by acting like you already believe what you believe.
Use actions to work on yourself so you can become what you believe.
Use actions to take the opportunities that you desire when they come towards you.
Speaking from experience, as long as you are trying to shift your negative beliefs, the Universe will assist you. The Universe will always want you to know that you are The Creator and would always favour Oneness over Separation because that's the truth of who you are.
So just simply by the attempt of shifting your beliefs towards positivity, the Universe will send you experiences to shift your negative beliefs!
A lot of what I learnt about how the Universe works come from my own personal experience. As I am quite passionate about transforming my own mind, day in day out, I had a lot of opportunities to see how my life experiences changed as I transformed my mind and discovered what kind of new experiences were coming into my life as I released my fears.
One example I could give you is the time when I worked in customer services. I worked in a job where I had to deal with customers all day long, helping them with their applications for government-related stuff.
And for the first three years, I would always get customers who would get angry and yell at me even though it is not my fault.
For instance, customers who would blame me for making them wait for so long when they only waited for 10 minutes, or customers who would blame me just because they couldn't find a parking space so they illegally parked, or customers who would just take their anger out on me because they had a bad day and so forth.
In the beginning, I thought that this was a general trend and something to be expected in this line of work. I didn't question it much since my other colleagues were experiencing the same thing.
But during that time, I was also working on transforming my suffering states of mind, particularly anger and guilt. And the more I released my anger, I began to notice a change in the type of customers I would get. For instance, I began to have fewer arguments with customers. I mean, this was of course natural because it takes two to argue, and I simply became more forgiving.
But the more interesting thing was that the more I worked on my anger issues and worked on becoming more responsible for my own emotions, the less I encountered angry customers until one day, I just simply stopped encountering them.
Eventually, most of the customers that came to me turned out to be the friendly and self-responsible type, kinda reflecting the type of person that I was at the time!
But my other colleagues were still getting angry customers and yelled at all day, and eventually, half of the team applied for other jobs and left because they did not like dealing with angry customers.
And this pattern of the outer world reflecting my inner world seemed to emerge throughout all other areas of my life—in the people and friends that I would make, in the job opportunities I would get.
I noticed that every time I released a Negative Idea, my life began to change for the better!
But the journey of Self-Transformation was not without confusion and challenges. I realized several things about myself on my journey of dealing with angry customers. Just when I thought I had transformed my negative beliefs, I discovered more and more negative beliefs.
I realized that you will always be tested by life experiences, which will challenge the new beliefs that you are trying to create. This happens when you are still unsure of your new beliefs.
For instance, there was a moment in time at the workplace when I told myself that I don't need angry customers in my life, but I still jumped in to save colleagues when they have abusive customers.
It was after many times of this that I finally became aware of what I was doing and heard my heart asking—"Is this what you really want?" and I realized that I needed to let the idea of being stuck in the drama go. I realized that I needed to live in alignment with my new beliefs. So instead of jumping in, I simply told my colleagues that they could request help if they need from the security guard or the manager.
On my journey of Self-Transformation, I would always fail many times in aligning myself with my new beliefs before I succeeded. So it's natural to fail many times when we try to transform the mind, when we try to create the life we desire, when we try to live according to our beliefs.
Don't give up!
The more you fail, the more you will succeed!
To Conclude—
We are Creators of our own reality and experiences.
We have the power to experience all that which we desire, but that is only when we can desire and create with clarity.
So, it's important to look within and transform the negative beliefs that are currently holding us back so that you can align your beliefs and desires as one.
That is when you will be able to truly become the Creator of your life!
