Ch 3: I would call this: Beginning to understand beliefs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overview \u2013 (in Question format)
\n<\/strong>P37:
\n2. What directs the light of the conscious mind? How does maintaining a point of focus affect a sense of permanence\u00a0in what we associate with as \u201cour identity\u201d?<\/p>\n

P45.
\nIn this session Seth give us a foundational, metaphysical (unchangeable) Key to\u00a0understanding Creative Expression.<\/p>\n

You get what you concentrate upon. There is no other main rule.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

3. What does it mean: you get what you concentrate upon?
\n4. What does it mean: sense data will reinforce your ideas? How are we locked into physical situations corroborated by great evidence? Why does it seem so convincing? What does it reflect?
\nHow do we\u00a0remove the locks?<\/p>\n

\n4-6. What is it about limited and false beliefs \u00a0that we would consider \u2018their vitality and strength however will be quite real, and seem to bring excellent results?

\nWhat would be an example of \u2018invisible gulfs\u2019 that will be missing in experience if you believe \u2018wealth is everything\u2019? \u00a0What would be an example of gnawing knowledge of incompletion?

\nWhat would cause one to become open to illness? Why?

\nShould every illness be searched for meaning or creative perspective?
\nIs there any illness or experience that doesn\u2019t have a creative value fulfilling perspective underlying it?
\nIf some experiences do not occur for creative perspective purposes, what would be their purpose?
\nIs it possible to experience being a victim of a random disease\u00a0or personal assault that we aren\u2019t willing co-creative participants?
\nIf you create your own reality,\u00a0can you be an unwilling victim? \u00a0What is NOT included in \u2018you create your own reality\u2019? Are such limiting or empowering beliefs?

Pg48<\/p>\n

In this session, Seth has also given us a 2nd foundational, metaphysical (unchangeable) belief that affects health:<\/p>\n

Your conscious thoughts regulate your health<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

2. What regulates your health if done persistently?
\n3-4. What persistent thoughts and feelings\u00a0create illness?
\nWhat did Seth mean by \u201ccowed by their effectiveness\u201d? Effectiveness at\u00a0what?
\nWhat would we esteem as being so effective<\/em> that we would cower?\u00a0<\/em>Is it a concept that is effective, or a specific instance, or specific thought being referred to?<\/p>\n

Is Seth intending for us to reflect upon the creative power of:<\/p>\n

1) thoughts in general, or
\n2) an attitude or feeling about our thinking of thoughts, or
\n3) a that a specific thought that creates a specific\u00a0illness, or
\n4) that a general thought is reflected in our general health.<\/p>\n

Examples or points 1-4:<\/p>\n

1) Thinking that illness comes from outside ourselves and attack us randomly Vs. knowing that thoughts maintain our health.
\n2) Thinking I don\u2019t like what I am thinking or experiencing. Don\u2019t like the thoughts I have about the observations I make regarding the way I act, feel or dream or even the way I observe.
\n3. I am well, I am OK, I am healthy. \u00a0Vs. I am sickly, I am threatened, I am unhappy. Or, I hate something about myself or body. ie; I hate being (fat, clumsy, stupid, uncaring, being poor, being black or some national origin, being brought up in, with or without {1,2,3}).
\n4.\u00a0I am sick of my job, spouse {1,2,3} or my job, spouse or {123} makes me sick.<\/p>\n

These questions determine the targets we\u2019ll focus upon later, so understanding is very important. It is hard create a plan to achieve a goal if the target is not identified.
\nWhat thoughts and beliefs should be the targeted for change?<\/p>\n

Test your thoughts against what seems<\/em> to be.<\/p>\n

5. Why did Seth emphasize seems? <\/em>\u00a0Thinking ahead, could we change our thoughts in a meaningful endeavor without changing our beliefs.
\nIs this an example of a core belief? Why or why not?<\/p>\n

In this session, Seth has also reinforced the\u00a0foundational, metaphysical (unchangeable) belief about reality and then another key about limits and purpose for being:<\/p>\n

The truth is then that you form your own reality directly. You react consciously and unconsciously to your beliefs.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Believe then, that you are a being unlimited by nature, <\/em><\/strong>born into flesh to materialize \u2026 the great joy and spontaneity of your nature\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

6. Is this \u201cunlimited by nature\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>an example of a core belief? Why or why not?
\nWhy do we experience\u00a0physical reality? Is there an end game objective?<\/p>\n

Is this \u201cto materialize \u2026 the great joy and spontaneity of your nature<\/em>\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>an example of a core belief?<\/p>\n

Does the mention of born into flesh<\/em> <\/strong>help distinguish\u00a0between a\u00a0core belief and a metaphysical immutable principle? Must a core belief only applies to a specific physical camouflage, or can a metaphysical principle also be a core belief? Is there a difference?<\/p>\n

Sympathetic Attraction<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pg49-50 \u00a0Belief Intensity attracts to itself others of a like nature.<\/p>\n
