Worst Beliefs; Best Beliefs🔗

Any belief that makes us powerless is brain washing. Any belief that makes us powerful is washing the brain. Society has done years of brain washing. We need to question the answers we have to distinguish between ideas or beliefs that makes us powerful versus those that makes us powerless.

The importance of the perception you have about you

Your life is not made of the situations outside, but, it is made of the stuff you are made inside. In boiling water, put the potato it'll become soft, put the egg, it'll become hard. The situation is not going to decide how you are going to become, but the stuff out of which you are made, that is going to decide how you are going to become with every situation.

What does it take to build a new perception?

• 1. We need trust and belief in what has been preserved by a culture, say a scripture.
• 2. We need to see a contemporary person living those truths. This is the role of the Guru.
• 3. We need to work from those truths to experience the reality that they point us to. To achieve something in the outer world, we need to work "for" them. To achieve something in the inner world, we need work "from" them.

Beliefs that makes one powerless

• 1. I am this body : If you believe you are 100% made of stuff only with this bone, flesh blood, then you can never conquer death fear. As long as you are thinking you're just physical body, your ambitions, your aspirations, your desires, your fears, everything will be so immature. It will not have any depth, all it takes to please you is physical pleasures.
• 2. I have only one life : This is a limiting cognition of life.

Know that who you really are is much much bigger than what these cognitions provide.
