Steve Question #13

 

Dear Joshua,

I have been working on identifying the limiting beliefs I have surrounding this situation.

I don't have enough money
Happy cats shouldn't create lumps in their body
I shouldn't intervene in my cat's intention to have a lump
The lump is not supposed to be there in the first place
Very few people understand my perspective (I'm a bad pet owner)
I worry what other people think of me
I am less powerful if my perspective is disregarded

The following are beliefs my wife has that I disagree with:

Our cat won't live a happy and comfortable life if we don't remove this lump My perspective on this matter is wrong

I would like to add that our 3 cats have been loving each other for years. Since our 1 cat has had the traumatizing experience of going to the vet's office, being held down against her will for xrays, etc. she has been fighting with our other 2 cats since she's been back home. So our happy home has been disrupted. My belief around this is if my perspective would have been accepted, we would still have our happy home.

And I've noticed a pattern - I'm frustrated that my perspective on many things that are very important to me are not the mainstream perspective. Matter of fact, quite the opposite - I'm a bad pet owner, bad husband, bad parent, etc... To me, it's like the masses (society) are clueless, yet I see "them" as very powerful. I would like to be able to get over this whole worrying about what other people think of me, but seems difficult because I must live and work with all of them.

Thanks!
Steve


Dear Steve,

You have done a wonderful job of identifying some very important limiting beliefs. So what now? What is to be done with all these limiting beliefs? You can't get rid of them for they will be with you in some form forever. Your work now is to reduce the intensity of these beliefs.

Let's talk about why it is important to reduce the intensity of limiting beliefs. You understand that negative emotion is part of your guidance system. You know that when you feel negative emotion, you are not aligned with your inner self. You see the event from a limited, narrow perspective and not from the higher, broader perspective of your inner self. Your true goal in this life is to become the highest version of you. That version of you, the best you can be, is the version that is in full alignment, or blended with your inner self.

Now, why is this preferable? What is the purpose of becoming who you really are? Why would you want to live blended with your inner self in this reality. Because, anything less does not feel as good. The greatest expression of life in physical reality will be to be who you really are and feel how wonderfully powerful, liberating, freeing and joyous that really is. Anything else is limited.

There is a useful tool for dealing with limiting beliefs. Remember, these beliefs are holding you back from becoming who you really are. To get what you really want in this life, you most change who you are now. The way you change is by changing your vibration. You do that by changing your beliefs.

You can reduce the intensity of limiting beliefs by using a device. The best device is to prove that your belief is not true (which it isn't) by finding evidence that shows its opposite is true. Let's look at your first limiting belief - I don't have enough money. This is a limiting belief because it holds you back from all that you desire and it is not true. You have access to all the money you ever need.

So, do you have enough money? Can you find examples where you have enough money? Do you have a home, a car, food, clothes, etc.? Compare yourself to those with less money, not those with more. Think about how much you have. Your life is more opulent and abundant than that of almost all who have ever existed on this planet. Prove to yourself that you are rich and abundant.

Practice these thoughts. We think that this belief, while potentially limiting, is already very low in intensity in you. You already practice thoughts of abundance, you just have strong desire for many things and you, like all, believe that money is the fastest route to the having of those things.

Now let's look at a limiting belief that is a little more intense - I worry what other people think of me. This is a limiting belief because it holds you back from all that you desire and it is not true. You cannot be who you really are if you care what other people think of you. You have already asked to be led to higher vibrations that allow you to become who you really are. You are already far along on that journey. There's no going back. But, in order to become more conscious, you must be altered in such a way that this limiting belief that others' opinions matter, must be reduced in its intensity. It cannot be removed completely, but it can be lowered in intensity so that you can move forward.

You have asked for greater clarity and more knowledge of universal forces and laws, and you are ascending a path to greater enlightenment. You can't turn back. There are things you must learn and in doing so you will be changed. If you resist this change, you will endure negative emotion until you give up and allow the change to take place.

In order to reduce the intensity of this specific limiting belief, which is all to common, you must realize a few truths about physical reality. You are worthy, you are unique, the universe revolves around you, you are here for your personal expansion, you must follow your own path and allow others to follow theirs, you must not be influenced by others who cannot see your path and who do not understand the mechanism of physical reality and you must allow others to believe whatever it is that works for them.

The main thing that ties you to this limiting belief is that others should see things from your perspective. This will always be difficult for those who are looking at the world from a much higher perspective than the masses. They cannot see what you see. They are not even close to your level. You cannot help them to see from the broader perspective because they are not ready. Few are. You are a leading-edge creator among leading-edge creators. You are in such an advanced state of being that they cannot relate to you. You, however, must be able to see events from their perspective. This is your work.

As you begin to realize that you are vibrating at a very high level, and you can begin to feel compassion for others, you will lose interest in other people's opinions of you. They can't even come close to how you see the fabric of reality. They can't understand your beliefs. To them, your beliefs will always seem strange. But you must allow them to be as they are. There's nothing you can do but be an example of alignment.

This takes practice as you are now beginning to distance yourself from those who operate in duality. You are going to start reacting neutrally to situations. They will continue to judge events as good or bad, right or wrong. You will have to accept their behavior which seems rudimentary. You must focus on how you feel.

So, to limit this belief that other people's opinions matter, you must accept that you're in a different place than they are. You must understand that your knowledge sets you apart. There's simply nothing you can do about it. You cannot seek out others who seem to be at your level in order to make yourself feel good. This is just trying to change the conditions and will not work because they will not be at the same level you are. You must understand that your level is unique. If you meet those who are even more advanced than you, you won't recognize it because you're not there yet. They will seem odd to you, even inferior.

You are in the right place for you and you're moving quickly. But until we're done with these sessions, don't change anything. You must learn to work within these conditions, to accept them unconditionally, and to create from within them whatever it is that you want. You have set a very powerful trajectory in motion and you must now align with that. We are helping to raise your vibration so you can start to see what's happening. Every time you ask a question, you will be led to a new level.

Well done indeed!

Love,
Joshua
