So often, we don’t even realize we have a belief system in place until we find ourselves struggling with a relationship or circumstances.  More often than not, the struggle comes from trying to place the new situation or relationship into an old belief system which no longer serves you.  Your inner struggle is a ‘wake up call’ to release the old and embrace a more illumined approach to your life.

You might be wondering, “Where did the belief system come from, if it doesn’t serve me?”  A lot of them are passed on from our parents and teachers as they projected their ‘issues’ onto us as children, as well as their ‘teachings’ that were designed to make us turn into the adults of their liking.  Others we pick up from our friends.  Still others, we make up ourselves as we try to integrate in our world at large. 

Anything that has convinced you that you are less than a Divine Soul having a human experience is a limiting belief system based on fear.  Any belief system that says ‘you have to win’... or that ‘someone will take advantage of you’... or ‘they need to be put in their place’... is based on fear.  True, people might try to take advantage of you, but they can’t really if you don’t feed into them.  All of those kinds of belief systems are born out of not remembering the Divinity of our makeup.

Another ‘wake up call’ your Divine Soul will give you is that vague feeling of restlessness that there is something more than what your are currently doing or having.  Instead of ignoring the feeling in the hopes that it will go away or hit the shopping malls for a quick ‘fix’, why not listen to the message and release the old limiting belief system which no longer serves you like it once did?

I liken the release of letting go of an old belief system to letting go of an old pair of blue jeans that no longer serve you.  I mean, let’s get real.  There are so many holes in them, you are hard pressed to keep the important body parts covered from the elements.  The same goes for old belief systems.

So, the question is: How do I do that?

It’s so easy, it will almost seem too easy to be effective.  (Go to the “Where’d You Learn About Divine Light?” section of Common Questions if you want to hear how it took me twenty five full years to believe it could be this easy.  Or, skip that section, and just do it so you can see for yourself). 

Use the technique to center yourself that you’ll find in the Basic Activation of the Divine Light Vibration in this section of the website.  Once you’ve done the basic activation and you feel you are in touch with a calm space in the center of your Being (do the best you can - this ability to find that calm center will develop with practice), declare:  I release any outdated belief systems that no longer serve me to the Divine Light Vibration for transformation into illumination.  I am filled with Light.  Illumine me. 

Between each declaration, wait until you feel a sense of expansion which is a measure of how much you have allowed the vibration to be activated.  You needn’t concern yourself with which specific belief system is released; your Divine Soul is guiding the process and knows what is best for you.  Often, the belief systems get transmuted and transformed bit by bit so it won’t be anything cataclysmic in nature.

The value of releasing outdated belief systems is that the channel between you and the conscious awareness of the Divine Light Source opens up and is clearer in nature.  Some people liken it to a labyrinth to get to the conversation with your Divine Soul, which is the key to your conscious awareness.  I prefer to think of it as standing in one place and allowing the walls to melt away, only to discover that you didn’t need to navigate anything because you were already there.

If I were to play with the image of the photograph I chose for this entry, I would say that when you release outdated belief systems, even the ones you don’t know you have, to the Divine Light Vibration for transformation into illumination, you’ll discover there are all sorts of stairs to higher consciousness, which is Divine Love, that you haven’t even noticed yet.

If you feel like it, you can also use one of the recorded guided meditations if you want to be talked through the process.
