115 – Belief Systems – Do’s and Don’ts

Do’s and Don’ts

This series is focused on creating a new Belief System. There are certain things to be aware of. This entry we focus on the Do’s and Don’ts to keep in mind.

Now that you hopefully have a good idea on what your current Belief System is; you are well on your way to creating a new one.

But before we do, there are some important things that we should avoid doing and some things to be aware of.

The saying, “Be careful what you ask for because you just may get it” is very apt here. If you have put the three rules into place, then you will avoid creating unintended negative consequences. However, that still does not automatically mean you will get what you desire.

The wording you use for manifesting needs to be very precise because you get exactly what you ask for.

The Four Keywords

There are Four keywords that should be used whenever possible. A couple are well known as they have been written about many times and a couple I have rarely seen.

Your Belief System will be a series of affirmations about what you believe to be true. It is what you are stating to the Universe / God / Source or whatever you believe in, as your reality.

Even if you don’t believe in such things, this will still work, unless you insist that it doesn’t. Then that will be your reality.

For simplicity’s sake, I will refer to this as The Universe as it is safely generic.

It’s recommended that we begin each statement with one of the following:

• I Believe
• I Have
• I Am
• I Invoke

Let’s look at them individually.

I Believe

What you are stating here is that this is your belief about a certain subject. It’s a simple invocation that this is now your reality about such things. (This might not be your current reality, but we will get into belief versus observation next entry.)

This is your declaration for what you truly believe.

I Have

This is useful for manifesting something that you desire in your life. It can be love, money, possessions, knowledge or anything else.

I Am

I Am is one of the most well-known statements for manifesting. It is possibly the most powerful ways of doing so. The words, I Am, is a declaration to The Universe about who you really are. It’s a statement that defines you and where you stand in regard to other’s beliefs about topics and situations.

I Invoke

Invoking something is a declaration that you are bringing it forth into your life. When you invoke, you are acknowledging that it is already in existence, and you are now choosing to activate it.

What to avoid

There are certain words that will make creating the reality you desire harder than it should be.

Three good examples are:

• I want
• I need
• I wish

I Want

“I want” is an interesting one. It very much depends on your personal definition of “I want” itself.  Generally, it means that it is something you want in your life. Using it, though, creates the desire of wanting and can quite literally push things away from you.

However, I have known some who proclaim, “I want this,” and next thing you know, they have it. This is because, in their mind, they already have it. All they are doing is going through the motions to make it a reality.

The intention and belief behind the word is key here.

I Need

Like the statement, I want, I need will produce a similar result. If you state, for example, I need money, then you will indeed end up needing it.

It’s very similar to saying, “I can’t afford it.” Eventually you will find that you really can’t afford something. Even if you originally could.

It is better to replace that with, “I have the resources I need to buy this.” In my experience, the resources always come.

I Wish

By its very nature, wishing for something implies that you need a third-party source, such as another person, company, or even a Djinn or Genie, to make your dreams a reality.

While it’s true that you may have a belief that you may come across such beings (and from my experience, Djinn’s do exist, but they are not as portrayed in the  fairy tales and are not to be messed with), it is also giving your manifesting power away instead of harnessing it to yourself.

If you don’t believe that wishes can be granted, then you will eventually end up with the experience of making wishes, but not receiving them. In any case, I suggest you avoid using “I wish”.

Thank You

Finally, there are two magic words that will help seal the deal and make your new Belief System a reality.

“Thank You.”

Now, you might be asking who you might need to thank, and why, and that’s a good question.

Saying, “Thank You,” will create the expression of gratitude to The Universe for manifesting what you are asking for. You are creating an acknowledgement that they are already in your life, and you are creating the circumstances to bring it forth into your reality.

Back in the 80s and 90s, whenever I would manifest something, I would always finish it with those two words. At the time, I questioned why the heck I was doing that, as I felt I had no one to thank. But it felt right, so I continued doing it, even if it made no sense to me at the time.

It was years later when I found out how powerful Thank You is.
