Friday The 13th – What’s In Your Belief System?

by

custom_calendar_11443 It’s not even Halloween and we have a “Friday the 13th”! But fortunately it’s not also a full moon. I will tell you that the full moon does bring the “weird” out – after all those years in an Emergency Room, you can always tell when it’s a full moon by the activity in the ER. I”m sure most of you have experienced the same thing. But what about Friday the 13th (no matter what month it happens in)? What’s up with that? Interestingly, the superstition around it is found primarily since 1900. That’s not very old. But there are estimates according to Wikipedia (take that for what it’s worth) that between 17-21 MILLION people are affected by a fear of this day, making it the most feared day there fri 13th1is.

Are you affected by this and other superstitions? If so, why? When did you first become aware of any type of “issue” with Friday the 13th (or seeing black cats or walking under ladders or any other superstition we embrace)? The origin for you will be different than the origin of the person sitting next to you. Often it’s built on a story and we all know that children (and many adults) revel in stories. Often, older siblings like to torture the younger with horror stories. If told enough times and by the “right” people, then this story will become embedded in your subconscious and will become a belief. Remember  that a belief is just a thought you keep thinking over and over (Abraham-Hicks). Wouldn’t it be sad if you found out that this superstition you’ve had all these years, whether it’s about Friday the 13th or some other one, was instilled in you simply because someone kept telling you the same story over and over again?

The point is NOT to make you feel badly because you have some superstition but it’s to make you examine your beliefs closely and not be afraid to ask “where the heck did I get that idea from?” And then go deep within to see if it came from your parents, your siblings, looking_in_dug_hole_400_clr_6593 teachers, religious leaders, friends etc. You have to be willing to examine these things. But let’s say you do look closely but you can’t figure out where an idea/belief came from. Then what? Does that make it true? Not necessarily. It may mean that you just can’t remember who or what was responsible for you thinking that way. Sometimes it’s too painful to come up with the results. You then have to look at the belief and say to yourself “Do I want to continue believing that? Is that in my value system?” If so, great, just move on. If not, then we can start working on clearing the old believe and replacing it with the new belief. We have and will continue to talk more about how to do that in other posts.

But for now, try to look at today, Friday the 13th, as a great day and a day when nothing but GOOD LUCK prevails in your life. Declare everything good that happens no matter what it is! Try it and see what happens.

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

The Psychology of Discovering Your Self-fulfilling Prophecies

by

If you’re like me, you just “know” that your New Year’s Resolutions never stick. You just “know” that you’ll fail at your goals. Or, you just “know” how hard it will be to achieve them – that you’ll really have to struggle to get there.

I made it in medicine and in the military back when women weren’t that easily accepted. BUT, fortunately for me, I didn’t know that. Therefore, I didn’t expect to have it “tough” and guess what, I didn’t have it tough – any tougher than anyone else did.

Both of these paragraphs discuss self-fulfilling prophecies! You create the circumstances based on your expectations.

If you’re aware that you create them, then isn’t it cool that you can create good circumstances instead of the negative ones?

How much more could you get accomplished (achieving those goals, sticking to your resolutions, etc) if you expected to accomplish them. It’s all based in your beliefs and your expectations.

Let Anne teach you all about your self-fulfilling prophecies and how to prevent them from occuring if they are negative and how to reinforce them if they are positive.

This is a two week teleseminar series (no cost) on 10 & 17 January 2008 – we felt this was more important than the traditional goal setting and burning bowl (which are available in the links posted on the blog). If you’ve been with us long enough to have heard the goal setting teleseminar, this will be a wonderful follow-up and something that you can use to re-evaluate where you are in your achievement of those goals. Join us won’t you. It’s on the web or on the phone (we love to get the comments and questions you can enter during the call if you listen on the web – and you don’t use your minutes). The time is 5:05 p.m. pacific, 7:05 p.m. central, 8:05 p.m. eastern.
