Breaking the chains of the past - facing & healing toxic conditioning & false belief systems

Pharista Luv,

I think it's both going to end soon enough.

Those who will be happy living in the Light will and Those who will be happy living in the dark will.

I can only hope to be a kernel of wheat.

Best Wishes,

Frater

You cannot determine truth in the beliefs of others until they're the beliefs you hold yourself. Each perspective is slightly different and some VERY different. The key is not forcing any belief on anyone else. Speak of the benefits of our understanding to inspire a change in others, not against their beliefs. To accuse anyone of being wrong in their beliefs is to condemn them like a fire and brimstone preacher... as it seems I am doing, in a way, right now.... lol

A great thread, its a journey to become your true self but the layers a finally falling away. Peace xx

Always be suspicious of an OP with a single eye for a avatar.

Seen ENOUGH of that Illuminati symbolism.

I understand this dilemma!
I'm all about everyone finding their own truth and way, but I catch myself thinking things like "Stupid people" or "I can't believe you really think that way", etc.

I try so hard to keep my thoughts in check and I remind myself that others most likely think the same about me.

Is there a point where you just stop thinking like that?

great post. What you have brought to the surface, is the essense of regaining or remembering who we really are.

A light is a light even hidden under many woven baskets that allow little light to shine forth. Remove the baskets and the full illumination of the light shines forth. This is true of us also. We are spirits manifesting in human form. We need do nothing to be who we are except to remove the impediments to that expression. ie programming and old bagage from our past.

I have spent the last 20 years in this endeavor using life as a mirror that constantly reflects back to me what I believe on a deeper level, not necessarily a conscious one. It can be a painful and fear filled journey, but one that is full of rewards and freedom. I am interested in hearing others experiences along these lines and sharing some of my own.

LOL, Hey Pharisa, Now folks will think you are flashing MK ULTRA butterflies. ;)

History always repeats itself until Divine Intervention comes in to play.

Can we change ourselves before some sort of intervention???

History is the ultimate answer to solving our future problems we face as humanity.

Hopefully we can do this, it all starts with the small things, the little circle we surround ourselves in, to reach to the bigger picture. A little love goes a long way.

Beautifully expressed, thank you so much for sharing AC.

Have you checked out the Spiritual Preparedness thread in my signature? It is also along the lines of what you are sharing - the experience of finding ourselves to be 'spirits in human form'.

I love your analogy of the baskets over the light, it is so very much like that - except in deep meditation where it is possible to cut through all the weaving and experience total consciousness. Of course there is still work to be done when back in action through the physical body again :)

I just saw your double post with the extra paragraph:-

Many people I have worked with are afraid of what they will find as most believe deep inside they are not good enough etc. and are afraid if they look to close they will find out its true or at least some part of us believes its true.


I see this around me too, I was like this also and then one day the external pain of my life brought about because of my false self-beliefs was as painful to deal with as it was to finally take a look inside. At that point, I found a wonderful therapist, a like minded online support group healing from similar wounds to my own and I finally took the plunge into the place I had been avoiding all my life to that point. The rope I hung on to was faith, faith in my true self and a greater (Divine) purpose. It really had got to the point where I had absolutely nothing left to lose. Now I just wish I had plunged in sooner but thats hindsight for you!

Regardless of which geographical location we find ourselves on this planet, what family structures, economic circumstances, cultural or socio-political situations, religion or creed we were born into and what losses and traumas we have survived; anyone who is part of modern society has at one point or another been hurt and affected by toxic learned behaviours and false belief systems from each of these external factors.

If freedom from the traumas and global dysfunctions of our pasts and a more authentic existence is NOW what we seek. If our hopes are for changes (for the better) in the way our current world systems operate, then there comes a point, after considerable self-reflection, where realisation cuts through personal denial systems and we 'wake up' to personal responsibility and the potential for personal and collective change.

From that place of growing awareness, a desire to clear the false beliefs and cross-generational dysfunction and wounds in our own personal psyches and every day lives becomes strong enough in an individual to take action to clear and transform them. When enough individuals take personal action for positive change, then the reflection of that will manifest externally on the world stage, a bit like the 100th monkey tale.

To sum up: We are waking up (with the help of very tough internal and external circumstances) to the reality that the cross-generational dysfunctions and lies of all that has taken place before this point in time, now sits both individually and collectively on all of our shoulders. We may not have been the cause of the problems but we are responsible to heal the effects and move forward with healthier behaviours.

From this awareness, comes the realisation that we do hold the power to break the chains of the past and to prevent those dysfunctions and false belief systems continuing on in our youth and in our societies. The method to do this is to look at our pasts, the pasts of our families and cultures and see them for what they really are. To then find ways to grieve and heal the wounds we carry, to accept and to forgive and then move forward authentically. This is a very personal journey, no one can do it for anyone else - we can support each other along the way but ultimately these are steps that each on of us must make for ourselves.

This thread is dedicated to chain-breakers everywhere and it's purpose is to share experiences, tips, insights and pitfalls that we encounter as we strive to keep moving forward towards personal authenticity and a better way of being and living in these challenging times.

LOL, Oh well how does that saying go again? you can please some of the people some of the time...

Nicely put Phaarista, yes when the pain of staying where we are becomes greater than the fear and pain of looking within, we usuall opt for change.

I like you spent many years of painful existence, I spent many hours in so called esoteric study but later found it like trying to go to college before starting grade school. Necesarry I suspect as some intellectual gymnastics seem to be required before we can begin to embrace our deeper issues. I fortunately found a group of people using clarivoyance as a tool for looking into our deepest darkest secrets. As lies and programming show up as blockages in our energy system. They taught Aura reading as a tool for change, and really only taught tools instead of more beliefs.

I am so thankful that I allowed this process into my life at the age 30, now, as it totally transformed my life on every level. I started creating abundance,and positive relationships, as well as gaining a deeper understanding about our spirits connection to this body.

I was truly amazed by the level of programming we recieve being raise in our society, and the lie ie. decisions we make about ourselves and life.

From the training I recieved I have gone on to develope some techniques that anyone can use to start to gain a deeper understanding of themselve and how our subconscious thoughts create our realities, by attracting people and situations to us. I came to understand that on some level we all read each other constantly and we illicit responces from those around us. Nice little dance we do with each other.

I will check out your link. Always looking for new tools for personal transformation and growth. sk

If you examine the line or angle of light incidence in your icon; It denotes the butterflies spring from the shadows on the rock or monolith and do not cast shadows.

You may not of noticed, but it is an interesting phenomenon.

The light is also bent back to the monolith.

Pharista,

I've been doing that for most of 2011. I feel as if I had to clean up some of what was handed down to me which didn't fit me nor my life any more. I also had to work through some things I had believed thoroughly but which didn't fit in the way they had up until this point in my life. I still believe them, only now I see them through the eyes and experience of a deeper understanding. I saw them from a different place and I saw the 'whys' of it and everything else. And I don't hold these beliefs tight anymore.

I now hold these beliefs as spiritual understanding within myself and I give myself the liberty to 'break them' if the situation calls for it. They're no longer something that was passed down to me; they are now a living understanding within myself that I hold in my spirit and soul IF I don't do something or if I do it is and will be because it fits with my soul and what I know at the time of the situation I find myself in. Yes, I hold the highest in spirit and do my best with my soul. But I don't beat myself up nor do I hold guilt in the way I used to if I break one of my beliefs, nor will I hold myself back from doing something my gut wants to do, though there are exceptions.

I am deciding to live 2012 from my insides: my spirit, my soul, my gut. And I will do and express myself unabashedly as myself! No editing!

I hope this helps someone as I have struggled with much throughout my life. I am now a firm believer that morality is not a straight road. Not always. And there are many people who hold such light within themselves that they have to break away from the past rules and do's and don'ts in order to live the truth that is emerging inside of them. The truth that is coming alive and they're coming alive. I now call this 'embodied living morality.' Meaning this is something that the individual lives because it's the truth from within that individual, not because they were told to hold back because something is sin or you're not supposed to do it. Mind you I'm speaking of the higher realms, but some people will have to live through their lessons and walk through the lower realms of themselves. And if that is their life, so be it!

Hope this helps someone~!

Great idea. I have been writing about this for a while as I can feel the shifts going on no matter how much "they" tell us nothing is happening.

I am of a FIRM belief that our DNA is changing/evolving at a more rapid rate as I have developed some cool hypersenses recently. I have an interesting medical history as well and it all started coming together as I was becoming sensitive to all kinds of environmental pollutants, especially electromagnetic fields from cell phones (cause cramps in my arms now)...here is a post I wrote about it!


Thread: DNA change and a new way of life for all...do we really know what we are capable of?

Hi Pharista

Sorry didn't mean to flake out on you, but while sleeping someone stole my computer. I got it back, but what a mystery the whole things was. All the doors were locked when we woke up and the only things missing were two cell phones and my tablet PC. The Thai police caught the guy which I was totally amazed by and within 24 hrs. A window was left unlocked and we have decorative metal work covering the windows. He got a long poll and stuck it throught the window and dragged things to the window and then took off. lol Had me scratching my head until he told how he had accomplished the deed.

Wow some great experiences being shared, my hope is that as time passes and we move from the age of fogetting that we will see more and more people delving into their deeper inner feeling and experiencing oneness. Peace sk

Thank you for sharing your experiences MissionInvisible - I love your handle btw - it really is an invisible mission isn't it?

Spiritual/conscious awareness does seem to have grown exponentially over the last few years and physical changes around us too and some people like you seem to be very sensitive to it on a physical level. I seem to work the other way round, I feel it emotionally or spiritually and then I make physical changes from there - i.e. a dietary or habit change. Do the physical sensitivities you feel inspire you to make changes on emotional/spiritual levels? It is amazing how many cues are there for us during this time.

I look forward to reading more of your experiences on your thread, thanks for the link.
