Belief vs. Faith and The War with Self and Other
January 26, 2010
8:45 PM
Seth … Good evening it is a pleasure to have all of you here with me again this evening. We shall begin with the following. If I were to ask each of you, are you at war on a day-to-day, moment to moment reference point how would you answer? For the most part most of you would answer that you are not at war on a moment-to-moment basis. This of course is incorrect. As an aside Kaetorina, directly after our break I will have you explain what EE units are in detail.
Each of you must come to the conclusion that the war you fight has two fronts. The first front is that of self and second is that of others. Now I’d like you Kaetorina to skip a line and in all capital letters write the following.
IF ONE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN SELF THAN YOU WILL NOT HAVE FAITH ENOUGH TO WIN THE WAR.
The war that you fight with yourself has many fronts. The battles that are waged mold and shape the self and cause creativity patterns to be formed. If you do not believe in self than one’s view of any difficulty shifts from your point of power to somewhere else. That type of individual looks routinely to blame others for their inadequacies. The person who desires to change a job but is lackadaisical about doing so looks to others to keep his present place of employment functional. This person is clearly a victim of self. The person who desires to lose weight but does not make a commitment blames others for their routine failure not only to lose weight but to keep it off. An interesting note here that comes from our discussions on change. At any point of reference when change is to be made and new habits formed the new habit is of course forcedsince change starts with a decision not to continue in the way in which you had been dealing with this instance with food. The same may be said with smoking or any other relationship issue where decisions of this nature must be made.
While change itself may be instantaneous, the process by which one fosters change is based upon belief in self. The idea that I can do it becomes important. If you do not believe in what you hope to accomplish by routinely asking others to do something limits your ability to win the war. An example here. If one desires to stop smoking but in their relationship issues others smoke around them then the question becomes, what happens if I routinely ask others who smoke not to smoke in front of me? First, you may win the battle but only temporarily but the war itself is doomed to failure. The resentment that you have towards others who smoke becomes so manifest that your desire to blame them causes you to abandon your own needs. Once you abandon your own needs you are left with want which in reality gives you nothing. If you promote yourself then of course you will be able to sustain that which you “need.” Your point of power will remain with you. In truth you may lose the battle of having others not smoke around you but win the war in terms of your own desire to change your behavior!
When you are dealing in the above situation the others will respect you for your perseverance by keeping yourself on track thereby enabling you to win the war. When you blame others for smoking around you, you create anger and frustration from point of reference to point of reference. These individuals lose respect and routinely become angry with you. This occurs as previously stated because you now want something which you are not creating. The others in this instance will allow their anger to flow from them towards you. These feelings in you cause victimization first of self which then forces you to lash out against the other. Now you stand apart from yourself as well as from the others. It becomes impossible for you to understand the why of the situation. You are so concerned with their difficulties and reactions towards you that you cannot examine or in most cases will not examine your own actions. What is the purpose of being in a war where you have set up numerous situations that force you to lose the war but win some individual battles? These situations are at best difficult since each individual must determine for themselves which battle to win and which to lose.
The faith that one must invest in self determines the outcome not only of any battle but of the war itself. If you believe that you are inferior, then of course you are. If you believe that you deserve more then of course you will get less. For all that you are creating is a desperate need to have others change and bend towards your desires. It is a simple process with the law of attraction that is paramount with these issues. It is obvious that you attract to you what you require. If you do not have faith in self because your belief system in self is lacking, then all you create is wanting or nothing in simplistic terms. It is impossible to be open and understand yourself when you do not have a belief system that forces you to understand that you are a magnificent creature. When you routinely doubt your own abilities, you then operate in a system where your understanding of your own actions are routinely called into question, not only by yourself but by others as well.
The victimization of self does not stop here; it spreads like a cancer in all issues that have to deal with this, “our smoking issue.” This victimization causes others to look at you first with a lack of understanding and second with anger. If left unchecked this victimization will lead them to hatred. The hatred is not of you directly, but of your victimization of them. They cannot understand your reasoning behind your actions since you routinely insist that they must change by not smoking around you. You foster a belief system where they are the ones at fault. This belief system causes you to lose faith not only in self but in others. One cannot have faith that the others will support you since they are always placed on the defensive by your actions.
Let us reverse this. If you have belief in self and your desire to make a change fosters the prevailing idea within self that there is a need to become different, then you are well on your way to win the war even if you lose individual battles. It is obvious that you cannot succeed with everything that you do. When you believe in yourself you understand that the need is the ending result of that which you as an individual desire. You will then proceed along a predictable path that will allow you to interact with yourself thereby promoting prosperity within you and in doing so promote prosperity towards others. When this occurs, the others will routinely look to you as someone who inspires them toward any number of specific goals. It is the end result that fulfills your needs and not the battle! It matters not how you achieve your ultimate goal or in this instance your need to succeed with your plan of not smoking. The ultimate goal is to say I am now a nonsmoker. You may be asked by others who you are now going to inspire to tell the tale of how you reached your goal. You will say there were difficult times; there were times when I stood next to someone who was smoking and tried to inhale what they were breathing out. I don’t know how often I thought about going back but I had faith in the ultimate goal, my belief system allowed me to say I will not smoke now. In doing so I gave myself the opportunity not to want. I challenged myself to have a belief system in place where I could prosper and not be the victim of myself or others. I lost many battles along the way, but I won the war. I finally succeeded in promoting the faith I had in myself so that I could inspire the others around me.
I will deal with the second half of the war battle at our next meeting.
At this time, we shall take a break. (9:33 PM)
Seth… Let us continue. Are there any questions on this material?
Failing means you are not getting what you want. The word “want” here in actuality means need. You don’t believe in yourself that you can succeed.
Let me leave you with this. You are at war and the question arises, do I choose to promote myself and my needs by losing a battle? If I do not have a belief of self then the war is lost, my wants are all I will have left and my ultimate goal will never be granted. This week I challenge all of you to deal with your battles in a different way. At our next meeting we shall examine the others and perhaps we will have Kaetorina explain EE units again. A hearty good evening to all.
Session ended: (10:26 PM)
(The following was added after the regular session was over. It was given to Stephanie in a private session.)
What can you learn from the idea of this session this evening? I use ideas that are first simplistic so that individuals are caught off guard. The smoking is as far away from Jasmine as she has not smoked in years. By using an idea that is distant it forces the individual to start focusing on self and reflecting on self. The individual comes to the conclusion that their perceptions and deeds must be accountable first to self and then to others. If you are not accountable to self, then you have nothing left to deal with.
Jasmine finally came to the conclusion that the war is in reality against herself. She’s in a war with herself. The war she is fighting is that of happiness, but the happiness must step first from self. One can’t be happy with a husband, wife, brother, sister or friends and can’t be happy with the situation unless one is first content and happy with self. That’s the war.
One can lose a battle, an argument with people. You don’t have to browbeat. One must allow their disgruntled abilities and statements to pass you by. So, you lost a battle here or there, but the major question is do I have a belief system in self, so I have faith enough in winning the war.
When you have an individual who is self loathing, that victimizes self as well as others so that they have no outlet or release for their hatred. These ideas, feelings and thoughts become deeds. These are the booby traps that cause the explosion in the face of that individual. They are literally harmful; victimizing self they lose respect from themselves. If you don’t like yourself what is your energy telling you? That you are an inferior individual and if you are inferior then contentment and happiness will always elude you. You the individual must take responsibility for your own route to success but if you don’t enjoy self but blame others for your own unhappiness, you lose.
When one blames others, they tend to have no release, it just keeps building and building. They may say you didn’t say the words I wanted, etc. These ideas are paramount within self who has no release that they cannot and will not function fairly for self. They only “see” the others as the cause of their dis-ease. Since you have no belief in self and no release you must then blame the other – it is you who is not saying the right thing or doing what I wanted instead of saying I am not making myself happy and doing for self, they blame others. The releasing would be for example, speaking to a therapist or to the person themselves in a fair and just manner without accusation or demanding anything.
When there is no release there is an explosion of anger, hatred and resentment immersed in the concept of fear. The fear is that I will never obtain what I am searching for. Who caused the explosion? When these type of individuals explode, they must blame others due to the fact that they have no belief in self to provide for their ultimate success.
