Our belief system (part 1)
Belief creates reality and reality creates belief.
Many have heard this (I know I use it a lot) but what does it really mean?
And more importantly, what does it mean for you?
This is a subject with several layers and all of them are important.
Not only do they affect your life, but they also affect your reality.
It has been said throughout the ages that this is a world of illusion. However, this statement, while accurate, it also misleading, as it doesn’t really explain anything useful.
Yes, this is a world of illusion, but the fact is, everything is an illusion. The entire universe is.
The problem here is that the word illusion suggests that something is not real.
I think a better phrase would be a created reality. Because while this is all an illusion, that doesn’t mean that it’s not real, because it certainly is.
So, how can something be both an illusion and real at the same time?
From a metaphysical perspective, there are two realms. The realm of the absolute where all is one, and all there is, is oneness and light and love Then there is the realm of the relative, which is where we are right now.
It is said (and I agree) that the entire point of life is to experience who you are, but when there is only oneness, that is not possible to do.
In order to do this, we need contrast, and the Realm of the Relative is exactly for that purpose.
What is more, it can be molded to allow us to experience anything of our choosing so we can experience exactly what we want.
What is created is said to be an illusion because it creates the illusion of being separate with everything having its own individual properties and abilities.
Oneness is divided into infinite aspects, but it’s all the same stuff at its very base level: The stuff of life.
So, while this world may be created, we are living in it, and it is, for all intents and purposes, real and should be treated as such. At the same time, those who can see and understand it is created should always bear in mind what the purpose of this illusion or created reality is.
What is important to understand, though, is that someone else didn’t create it. It was created by you, with the help of your other aspects (which are also parts of you.)
The problem is that we actually forget that we have done this, and we forget because we need to so we may experience who we are completely.
But the power to create never goes away, and we use it in every moment in our lives.
The next entry will be looking at how we do this, and what we can do to take back control and make it work for us, rather than against us.
Next: The power to create.
