What are Denials & How Do They Fit In?

by

Ok, now that you’ve identified your limiting beliefs, now what?

Well, it’s time to start changing them and turning them into positive beliefs.

The way we start doing that is with denials.

Denials are considered the face washing, or clearing and cleansing process. “If you’re building a house, you have to clear the land first.” This is the purpose of denials. You’re clearing the land. Denial is the first practical step toward wiping out of our minds the mistaken beliefs of a lifetime. We declare not to be true a thing that seems to be true.

Do these denials for a week. Emma Curtis Hopkins, who is one of the greatest of the early teachers, had her students do denials for one month before they went into a new class. Believe me, it pulls things out of the subconscious that you don’t know are there.

It pulls things out like anger, hostility, resentment, from the time you were very small until now. It pulls out things that you wish you hadn’t been upset about at the time like the thoughts, feelings, and anxieties you had that could have come from something way in the past.

Some of the denials that we use are, “There is no anger in me. Therefore, I do not attract people who are angry. There is no hostility in me. Therefore, I do not attract people with hostility. There is no fear in me. Therefore, I do not attract people who are fearful.”

We don’t know what is in our subconscious. This week I want you to do the denials. Read them over preferably twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. See what that brings up out of your subconscious.

I don’t want you to do anything about that except look at it and say, “Oh my goodness, I didn’t know that was there. Thank you for showing it to me.” At that point, you can let it go. You realize that you’ve been holding on to something that did not concern you, that did not belong in your life and has just been sitting in this big sea of stuff in your subconscious.

Suppose you grew up believing that the sun moved around the earth, and someone now showed you that the opposite is true.  You would accept the demonstrated truth, but still, at every sunrise or sunset, the old idea would come up, seeming almost too real to be disputed.  The only way to cleanse your mind of the old impression would be by repeatedly denying the old beliefs.  You would say over and over to yourself, whenever the subject came up in your mind, “This is not true.  The sun does not move around the earth; the earth moves around the sun.” Eventually, the sun would only seem to be moving.
Similarly, it appears that our bodies and circumstances control our thoughts, but the opposite is true.  Our thoughts control our bodies and our circumstances.  So, if you repeatedly deny a false or unhappy condition, it loses its power to make you unhappy.

Remember – Denials are considered to be the cleansing mechanism, or, the method of rejecting opinions and/or negative beliefs that prevent our desired good from coming to us.

Denials for use the first week.

I am not afraid.

I am not angry

I am not poor

I am not sick

I am not insecure

I do not believe in  suffering

I do not believe in hard work

I do not believe in poverty

I do not believe in struggle

I do not accept limitation of any kind

I do not accept other peoples negative beliefs

I do not  accept lack in any area of my life

How to Uncover Your Limiting Beliefs

by

How do you discover what your limiting beliefs are?

You have to find out what your limiting beliefs are in order to move forward and put the law of attraction and the remainder of the universal laws into play.

Write down what you want.

Write down what you don’t want.

Write down what you believe about money (e.g. “you have to work hard to make a lot of money”, “rich people are greedy”, “time is money”) – write down what you were taught – for example – my father repeatedly told me that I’d never be any good with money. That was an extremely limiting belief for me.

Write down what you believe about relationships – so you believe that all your relationships are doomed to fail or that you’re doomed to be alone; or perhaps, you don’t “deserve” to be in a loving mutual relationship.

Write down what you believe about health. Do certain things “run” in your family? Do you figure you’re going to get the flu every year?

When you’ve written down all your beliefs, look them over. If there are positive ones (such as “I don’t have to work hard to make money. Things come easily to me. I’m a quick learner, etc) then these are great beliefs you have and are to be cultivated even more.

However, if you find you have beliefs that are keeping you from reaching your goals, then these are the ones you want to work on. Circle them on your lists.

Later, rewrite them on a separate piece of paper and you’ll be able to work through them with denials (we’ll cover them tomorrow).

Now you have a beginning to determining AND conquering your limiting beliefs.

Self-fulfilling Prophecies

by

A self-fulfilling prophecy is an opinion or beliefs that creates expectancy or possible expectancy of an event occurring in the future. 

There are many examples of this:

Statistics (which we all know can be manipulated anyway you want) such as the incidence of diabetes is on the rise, the divorce rate is increasing.

Inheritance, family history of different diseases, alcoholism, behavior, relationships.

Media influence: inaccuracy of media including medical ads – remember – they are just that – ads – they are not there to help educate you about the disease process – they are trying to convince you, to sell you on their product. Also in the media – notice the constant reruns of negative news.

Financial predictions: stock market news, family related fears (the depression era for example)

You can (and should) always say “That is not my truth.” and follow it by “I don’t believe that that kind of information affects me.”

Do not use the words “always” and “never” unless they reflect  something positive.

Note that the prophecy can be positive or negative! That’s so important to understand. We are in charge of our lives.

Praise is a prophecy:

– Prophesy that you are lucky

– Prophesy that you are happy

– Prophesy that you have a constantly growing income

– Prophesy that you receive wonderful divine surprises “Every day I receive a divine surprise.”

An opinion or belief, once recognized, can be easily changed through denial, affirmation and common sense.

– Change the negative through denials

– Increase the positive

– Only discuss the present and future (you are so good at ……) (you’re getting so good at……)

To recognize a negative opinion/belief AND DO NOTHING gives greater strength to the negative.

– The more you know, the more you’re responsible for

– The stronger your understanding of spiritual/universal law, the faster it works…in either a positive or a negative way.

– A negative prophesy works just as quickly as a positive one (and sometimes faster)

– You must learn NOT to react to other people’s opinions, discussions, prophecies, etc. even if they are the “experts”

Every thought, word, and action goes into your subconscious and reaffirms as you believe (about yourself, your health, relationships, money, etc).

The more emotion you put into it, the stronger it (the prophecy) gets.

You shouldn’t “just accept” what other people tell you.

Denial: “Other people’s thoughts, words or actions never affect me in a negative way.”

Affirmation:

“I surround myself with the Christ light which prevents all negative thoughts aimed at me and strengthens all positive thoughts coming to me.”

“I dissolve all ties between me and anyone who has negative opinions of me.”

Enjoy
