The universal law of belief states that we do not believe what we see, we rather see what we have already decided to believe.

This universal law is a foundational law of life to the extent that without wholeheartedly believing that something can become a part of your reality, then consequently it will always remain out of your reach — no matter how desperately you may want it. Unfortunately life doesn’t give us what we want, but rather what we intend with feeling — whether that intention lies at a conscious or unconscious level of awareness.

Today’s discussion will focus on the immutable universal law of belief and try to represent it in such a way that will enable you to take advantage of its principles and use them to improve the quality of your life.

We will begin our discussion by describing the universal law of belief and identify the intricacies of how our beliefs influence and determine the course of our life’s destiny. We will also delve into the world of self-limiting beliefs and the paralyzing impact and influence they can have over our lives. In addition to this we will break down some simple mindset altering strategies that will enable you to take control of the beliefs that are directing your daily decisions and actions. And we will conclude our discussion by presenting you a few transformational analysis questions that can help you take advantage of the universal law of belief and use it to improve the circumstances of your life.

What Are Beliefs?
Beliefs are built upon a mix of fact and fictitious perspectives we have about life, ourselves and others.

Beliefs are built upon prejudice. When we prejudge something, we are ineffectively reaching premature conclusions about the events and circumstances that are directing our attention. In many instances, we reach conclusions despite evidence to the contrary, or despite our best efforts to make logical sense of the situation at hand.

Beliefs are filters of reality and experience. They filter-out from our sensory perspective anything that doesn’t align with our psychological programming. And consequently we don’t see reality as it is, but rather how we perceive it to be.

Beliefs are based on incomplete and biased sensory perspectives that have been conditioned and programmed over time through our memories of past events, circumstances and experience. These memories that we believe are real, are in fact only interpretations we made about reality at the time. Likewise, these interpretations of reality have been filtered over-and-over again through our belief systems over the years, and have taken on a life of their own — reinterpreting our life experiences in a multitude of unique and creative ways that have nothing to do with the reality of those events.

Beliefs are nothing more than interpretations of events, circumstances and life experience. Our emotional state, frame-of-mind, social condition, and other factors all affect how we interpret the events and circumstances of our lives. If for instance we are to experience an emotional breakdown while certain events and circumstances take place around us, then our beliefs of those events and circumstances would be very different than if we were to be in a positive frame-of-mind at the time.

Beliefs consistently reject any information that is inconsistent or contradictory in nature. For this very reason it is extremely difficult to convince someone of your opinion or perspectives if they have already developed a strong alternate belief about the information you are providing them with. The more emotional involvement is associated with a belief, then the stronger the conviction, and the more steadfast this person’s perspective is going to be. As a result, they will reject any and all information, no matter how logical it may seem, if it isn’t consistently aligned with their conditioned patterns of believing.

Beliefs determine the intensity of our emotional experiences in relation to people, events and circumstance In other words, your beliefs provide you with a set of pre-programmed fundamental rules and emotional responses that you launch when certain anchors are activated within your environment (such as people and circumstances) triggering specific and conditioned emotional responses.

Beliefs determine how we behave on a daily basis. We consistently act in accordance to the beliefs we have about the world, ourselves, others, events and circumstances. These are pre-programmeresponses and reactions that we have conditioned ourselves to accept without question. And the longer we allow these conditioned responses to perpetuate within our psyche, then the greater difficulty we will have in transforming these patterns for the better.

Finally, beliefs are nothing more than just illusions of reality.

You do not believe what you see, you rather see what you have already decided to believe.
