Belief in Divine Life

Many people overlook the reality that belief in anything is a choice. You may rationalize that your concept is worthy of belief because you have facts to support your valuing the concept, but belief is still a choice. When belief is stripped of all the "evidence" you have gathered, you are still choosing to value the concept.

Belief is never fact. Belief is always value.  How and what you value in your life is wrapped up with your beliefs. If your primary values are to amass money and possessions, that becomes the foundation of your existence.  When you invest yourself, your time, energy, money, in something, you are expressing what you value, who you value and why. You are expressing what you believe is the purpose of your life.

"Actions speak louder than words!" When there is no congruence between actions and what is said,  the person is out of integrity with what they say they believe and what actions they take. I have known people who talk and talk and talk about what they are "going" to do, yet never take the first step to do what they say they want to be, do or have in their lives. They are clearly out of integrity with themselves.

Have you ever examined your beliefs? Have you ever taken time to question WHY you believe what you believe. If you have, you have discovered beliefs that fall apart under your scrutiny. You have discovered that you adopted beliefs that other people projected on you without your conscious awareness. You have discovered that at your core you are willing to be responsible for your Self and your life or you expect others to be responsible for you and your life.

I had a woman come to me for help with a shocking problem, that is, I was the one shocked that anyone could be stuck by such an issue. Since that time I have seen many, many women with the same dilemma.  At 30+ years she had never taken care of herself. She had been cared for by her father until she moved into the life of the first boyfriend, until she moved into the life of the man who became her husband, until she moved into the life of the man who caused her divorce, and on and on. She had lived with men and sacrificed her own freedom and well-being because she did not feel equipped to take care of herself. She valued being immature and the freedom from responsibility of that position until she recognized that she was really being controlled and manipulated by the men she thought she had to have in her life to take care of her. She allowed other people to tell her who she should be to please them. One day she woke up to her real Self and decided to learn how to be who she really was!

Waking up to the idea that we may be behaving or living as other that we authentically are usually happens around our mid 30's. It's part of our human evolution. Our spiritual Self taps us on the shoulder to say, "I'm here when you're ready." This can be considered an ascension in consciousness - recognizing that something greater exists than what we are recognizing or aware of existing.

What do you value most? What are your words and actions revealing about what you believe is the nature of life? What is your personal platform for your life? If protecting and resonating with your Divine Self, your God Self is a priority in your life, your platform for your life is resonating differently than someone who is using life to seek pleasure, power, possessions. Making your relationship with your God Self a priority is always a choice that you have the freedom to make every moment of your existence.
