The Power of Belief - Reasons to Believe
I can't lie, after spending more time on this website than anything else in my life the last few weeks, it can be discouraging to see that I still haven't made a cent. Do I expect to start making bread immediately? No. I am aware that it takes months to years of persistent work to start seeing real results. Did I think I would have made my first sale by now? Absolutely. 
Of course I hold myself to a high standard. If I hear that "the average person" won't make money until after a few months, I expect to do it sooner. That's just me! I am so excited to be financially free that I want it NOW. It's not the money that I want so bad, it just so happens that money is a direct reflection of success and impact. What I really want is to make a difference in the world.
Do I think affiliate marketing is the best way to change the world? No, but it is a means of getting my message out there and earning income at the same time. Right now that is the best thing I can do. For me, this is step one. This will create financial freedom for me. This is just the part where I plant the seeds. Once I am no longer a slave to society is when I move to phase 2.
Yesterday during my meditation, I kept contemplating what I should do regarding my income situation. I caught myself in a train of thought that was not in accordance with my beliefs. I am aware that the combination of our thoughts and feelings is what creates our reality. I have spent months thinking about this concept and It could not be more true. If you simply look back on your life and revisit how you thought and felt during certain times of your life you will see the truth in this as well. I had a reaffirming realization yesterday. The problem of lack of income was one I was creating myself. As I was staring off into Nature, observing the trees, the grass, the birds, the sky and the sunshine, I watched as
Mother Nature effortlessly existed. None of the natural world was trying to do anything. The birds weren't trying to fly, The sun wasn't trying to shine, and the trees weren't trying to exist, everything just simply was. And here I am trying to figure out my problems.
Humans are always trying. There is a significant, yet subtle difference between trying and doing or trying and being. You don't have to try to breathe, or try to think. You don't try to make your heart beat. We can try to separate ourselves from the natural world all we want but no matter what we are just as much a part as nature as any other creature on the beautiful big spinning rock. When you "try" you are allowing for the element of failure. Consider the utter complexity of any function in our body, and the fact that we are born with the ability to use our body yet have no knowledge of how it works. The complexity of how "thinking" works is still a mystery to man, yet that doesn't stop anyone from thinking. Not, only do you not have to try to think, you really can't stop yourself from thinking. My point is that humans are born with the most complex anatomy, and brain function of any animal on this planet, yet we are born able to use it without a knowledge of how it works. I believe that dissecting, analyzing, and trying to understand the complexity of this world can be a hindrance to our progress. This sounds contradictory but hear me out.
My theory is that we are born without an understanding of how our anatomy works for a reason. I believe that reason is because we can simplify our existence and make life much easier if we stop worrying about how complex everything is. I have been so consumed with the complexity of the nature of reality and existence that it sometimes paralyzes me. The obsession of wanting to understand how the process of manifestation happens can hinder manifestation itself. It is such a paradoxical life we live in. The best way for me to understand this phenomenon is to simply accept it as the mystery that it is.
I am not saying that we should stop pursuing science and knowledge; these things are important to society. I am saying that the human mind operates more efficiently when things are simplified. Wisdom is not knowing everything. One aspect of wisdom is understanding how little you actually know. If you've ever heard the phrase "going down the rabbit hole" or if you've ever ventured into the rabbit hole yourself, then you may understand what I'm talking about. Once I have learned the horrors of the food industry, I began asking why. Why are they doing this to us? Why does nobody know about this? What else are they not telling us? These questions lead to answers, which lead to more questions, and so on. I went from reading articles about food to watching videos about how shape shifting lizards run the world. It opened my eyes a lot. I am not saying that I necessarily believe the lizard stuff, but I am saying that belief is an extremely powerful force. The truth is often stranger than fiction.
Belief is what separates us from other creatures. Belief is the major driving force of the world. You believe in your religion, you believe your government, you believe what you're taught in school. When you're a child you believe just about anything anyone tells you! Do not forget that you are simply a grown up baby. However, believing does not necessarily mean something is true. And often times our real beliefs are buried deep in the subconscious mind where they were born. Belief is synonymous with repetition. And repetition is synonymous with humans. We are creatures of habit. Many of us do the same thing almost every day. Wake up at the same time, drink the same coffee, eat the same breakfast, go to the same job, with the same people, taking the same route to and from, come home to the same house, watch the same TV shows, and wake up and do it again. For many people it's not as mundane as I described, but for many it is!
So why do we allow ourselves to get caught in this boring dreadful routine? It's in our DNA. Developing habits can be very benficial to us, as it was intended. Humans are creatures of habits because it is a survival mechanism. Now that we live in this matrix society, they have capitalized on our natural instinct to form habits. Does it all of the sudden make sense why you see the same commercial over and over again? Or why you hear the same pop song a million times a day on the radio? Whoever "they" are, they're doing a damn good job of influencing us! Our entire sytematic society is dependant upon the power of belief.
Out of all the (sometimes ridiculous) things that we humans believe; it is far too often that we fail to believe in ourselves. We are still using the same curiculum in our schools today as we did 100 years ago. During the industrial era, schools were designed to create factory workers. Our economy relied on people to fill those jobs because everything was created in a factory. Now kids are being taught how to raise their hand to speak, ask permission to use the restroom, pass the same test as everyone else, and their success is dertermined by meeting standards and recieving a letter grade."Grade A"is a term used in quality control in factories, where do you think schools got the idea? Being told what to do and being punished for speaking out and being creative can be detrimental to a humans cpacity for belief and self-esteem. Our imagination is a gift yet it is sucked out of us after years of sitting in classrooms.

elief is usually viewed as something you can choose. This is true, but I would aslo argue that most beliefs we have we did not choose. You cannot choose where you are born, who your family is, and most of what happens in the first 10-20 years of your life depending on your circumstance. This is why when hearing or reading about new information it is important to keep an open mind. You can't just assume any information to be true or false just because you belive it. This is especially true when interacting with people of another faith or relisious belief. Their belief is just as real andtrue to them as yours is to you. This is how the power of belief can either bring us all closer together, or divide us.
It has always interested me how some people can have such strong belief in their religion or spirituality and not have any faith in themsleves. I believe that our existence is a blessing and that we are here for a purpose. I also believe that we are spiritual beings having a human experience and not the other way around. That being said, I view myself and all human beings as (potentially) very powerful and influencial creatures. Just look at how we have changed our environment in our short time of being here on this planet. No other Living thing has had such a noticeable impact. We are co-creators. I believe we are capable of connecting to the higher intelligent power that is responsible for everything in existence. The name you choose to give it is up to you, many call it God.
Theres a saying,"God created man in his image" I believe that this means we are a part of "God". Is there a way in which we can strengthen our communication with this mystical intelligence? If we are a like God, shouldn't we be able to reicieve his wisdom? Part of me believes that we are born with this wisdom, but it fades as we grow older and become acustom to the "matrix." I personally have always felt like I was connected to something higher. There were times in my life where I wanted to end it all but there was always something guiding me; something that told me it would be okay eventually. Whatever it was, it was right! However guidance was not alwasy present, it only seemed to show itself when I needed it most.
That began to change a few years ago. When I moved out on my own for the first time I started feeling more connected. I started having urges to learn more and get to know myself better. I really started to notice a difference when I began focusing on my health. So the cycle began! The more I learned, the healthier I ate, the more connected I felt which made me want to learn more. All this time I was creating a very powerful belief system within myself: eating an organic plant based diet allowed me to become more connected to a higher power. In fact, I actually believe it was this higher power that lead me to going vegan. It was as if my soul was just craving to find a way to connect with my human body.
Things really started to change for me, on the inside. I started noticing how unbelievably beautiful our Earth really is. I started feeling other peoples emotions. I started being a lot more kind to people. I even started getting weird senses about things, I feel like I can feel energy from people and places. Most importantly, I felt an incredible urge to help others. I wanted people to experience what I did. When I started telling my friends and family about the discoveries I was making, to my surprise I didn't get the reactions I expected. To me this was life changing information! To others it was an annoyance. They might not have said that to my face, but I can easily tell. My intentions were to help, but I can see how I may have came off strong. Im just passionate. Eventually many of the people who are closest in my life began to hear my message. That is a reason to believe!
As my beliefs changed, I changed. The world around me changed. A simple change in beliefs can change a life! It absolutely did for me. I realize now that I am more powerful than I could have ever imagined. Sometimes I still need to remind myself. I have to remeber why I spend all my spare time on this website. I have to instill my beliefs in every word I write and truly write from my heart, and not my wallet.
Regardless of what is happening in our society today, we all still have the choice to rise above it. You can begin waking yourself up. You can start believing in yourself and become connected to your higher power. Out of all the things "they" got you to believe, it's time to start believing in the truth, believing in the people, and believing in Love.
My best advice is to stop trying! Stop trying to be loving and just be love. Stop trying to do good things, and just be good! Be the light! The difference is subtle, but the results are life changing.
When encoruaging others to begin their awakening, you must be patient. Be loving and understanding. Offer guidance and support, never force someone. They will when they are ready. Just believe in them. That's all we need, is a reason to believe.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this. These words on this page mean a lot to me. They are a representation of my journey, how far I've came, and who I am continuing to grow into. I love you all! please leave any comments or questions below!
