Ch02 reinforces and continues to expand on this concept. If in your study of Ch01 and Ch02 you haven\u2019t concluded\u00a0acceptance of this realization, read this sites\u00a0blog pages like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/?p=2020\">\u201cYou create your own reality\u201d<\/a>, before continuing the book.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>Physical data will always seem to reinforce the beliefs, therefore, but the beliefs formed the reality.<\/li>\n<li>First of all, you must realize that <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">no one can change your beliefs for you<\/span><\/strong>, nor can they be forced upon you from without. You <u>can<\/u> indeed<br \/>\nchange them for yourself, however, with knowledge and application.<\/li>\n<li>Look about you. Your entire <strong>physical environment<\/strong> is the materialization of your beliefs.<\/li>\n<li>Within you is the ability to change your ideas about reality and about<br \/>\nyourself, to create a personal living experience that is fulfilling to your-<br \/>\nself and others<\/li>\n<li>Your conscious beliefs direct the functioning of your body. It is not<br \/>\nthe other way around.<\/li>\n<li>The beliefs of course will be accepted by you not as beliefs, but as<br \/>\nreality. Once you understand that <u>you<\/u> form your reality, then you must<br \/>\nbegin to examine these beliefs by letting the conscious mind freely<br \/>\nexamine its own contents.<\/li>\n<li>The basic beliefs however were always in your conscious mind, and<br \/>\nthe reasons for your behavior. You simply had not examined its contents<br \/>\nwith the realization that your <strong>beliefs were not <u>n<\/u><u>ece<\/u><u>s<\/u><u>s<\/u><u>aril<\/u><u>y<\/u>\u00a0reality<\/strong>, but<br \/>\noften <strong>your conceptions<\/strong> of it.<\/li>\n<li>I am not telling you to inhibit thoughts or feelings. I am asking that<br \/>\nyou become aware of those you have. Realize that they form your reality in all of its aspects. Realize that your <strong>physical experience and environment is the materialization of your beliefs<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>The realization that you form your own reality should be a liberating<br \/>\none. You are responsible for your successes and your joys. You can<br \/>\nchange those areas of your life with which you are less than pleased, but<br \/>\nyou must take the responsibility for your being.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li value=\"2\">Ch 2 establishes that the <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Waking Conscious Self directs the activities<\/span><\/strong> of which will bring about all changes you seek to occur. By your conscious minds deciding what is believed,\u00a0you\u00a0and only you provide the foundation which the inner self implements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>Your inner self adopts the physically conscious, physically focused mind as a method of allowing it <strong>to manipulate in the world that you know<\/strong>. The conscious mind is particularly equipped to direct outward\u00a0activity, to handle waking experience and oversee physical work. <strong><em>Its beliefs<\/em><\/strong> about the nature of reality <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">are then given to inner portions of the self<\/span>. These rely mainly upon the conscious mind\u2019s interpretation of temporal reality. The conscious mind sets the goals and the\u00a0inner self brings them about, using all its facilities and inexhaustible energy.<\/li>\n<li>The great value of the conscious mind lies precisely in its ability to\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">make decisions and set directions<\/span>.<\/li>\n<li>I repeat: Your ideas and beliefs form the structure of your experience. Your beliefs and the reasons for them can be found in your conscious mind. If you accept the idea that the reasons for your behavior are forever buried in the past of this life, or any other, then you will not\u00a0be able to alter your experience until <strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">you <\/span><\/em><\/strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">change that belief<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li value=\"3\">It Identifies the <strong>grand\u00a0purpose for life<\/strong> as we know it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">You are here to aid in the great expansion of consciousness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Your spirit joined itself with flesh, and in flesh, to experience a world<br \/>\nof incredible richness, to help create a dimension of reality of<br \/>\ncolors and of form.\u00a0Your spirit was born in flesh to enrich a marvelous<br \/>\narea of sense awareness, to feel\u00a0energy made into corporeal form. You<br \/>\nare <strong>here to use, enjoy, and express yourself<\/strong> through the body. You are<br \/>\nhere to aid in the great <strong>expansion of consciousness<\/strong>. You are not here<br \/>\nto cry about the miseries of the human condition, but to change them<br \/>\nwhen you find them not to your liking through the joy, strength and vitality<br \/>\nthat is \u00a0within you; to create the spirit as faithfully and beautifully as you can in flesh.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li value=\"4\">The conscious mind and ego\u2019s power is incredibly flexible and powerful. It is<br \/>\n<strong>unquestioned by inner self<\/strong> in following its course of action directions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">The conscious mind allows you to look outward into the physical universe, and see the reflection of your spiritual activity, to perceive and assess your individual and joint creations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Obviously the conscious mind is a phenomenon, not a thing. It is<br \/>\never-changing. It can be concentrated or turned by the ego in literally<br \/>\nendless directions. It can view outward reality or turn inward, observ-<br \/>\ning its own contents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">There are gradations and fluctuations within its activity. It is far more<br \/>\nflexible than you give it credit for. <em>(Pause.] <\/em>The ego can use the conscious<br \/>\nmind almost entirely as a way of perceiving external or internal realities<br \/>\nthat coincide with its own beliefs. It is not that certain answers do not lie<br \/>\nopenly accessible, therefore, but that often you have set your-self on a<br \/>\ncourse of action in which you believe, and you do not want to<br \/>\nopen yourself to any material that may contradict your current beliefs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In summary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">The Fabric of <strong>Experience<\/strong>, the medium within which psychological experience occurs, is your <strong><em>beliefs and expectations<\/em><\/strong> (personal ideas about yourself and the nature of Reality).<br \/>\nOf these you form your physical reality, experience, thoughts and affect emotions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><strong>Thoughts and Emotions: are affected by your\u00a0beliefs and expectations.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Audio Link:\u00a0Seth-PR-Ch02 Reality And Personal Beliefs Ch02 &#8211; I would say Ch02 is one of the most important Chapters of NPR because: Ch 2 establishes what it means \u201cYou create your own reality\u201d.
