I have some hesitation in using the word “choose” because that easily leads to guilt and blame: I caused my cancer or the house to burn down.

We do create our beliefs by giving meaningless events a meaning. We do choose that meaning. But for kids, it is virtually impossible to chose any other meaning. And then how things occur for us is largely (if not totally) a function of our beliefs (and conditionings).

So we can choose to CHANGE our beliefs and how things occur if we are taught how, but be careful about blaming yourself for how things occur for yourself because you “chose” them.

Thanks for your interest in our work and for taking the time to write.

I think practicing taking responsibility for our experience of life through conscious word choice is a pretty important aspect of being able to choose differently. Saying “I allow myself to get all frustrated in this situation” is very different than “she bugs me.” Even more powerful is “I’m choosing to feel frustrated by [these events].” Another interesting aspect is that as you decide to make a different choice about the meaning of certain events, you can frequently uncover residual beliefs. If you can’t get past a certain interpretation or narrow range of interpretations, it’s obvious that there is some old belief/emotion/sense at work.

I’m looking forward to hearing more as your class/workshop proceeds.

Yes, #2 is similar to #1, as is #3. There are a few additional distinctions in each one as I make them. But they are all aspects of the same idea. And I probably will have at least one more post of the same subject.

Thanks for reading my posts and for your comment.

Regards, Morty

Best.

I’m not sure what you mean when you say it didn’t work for your wife. Did she eliminate any beliefs? Eliminating your own beliefs will not change your wife, although it can change how you react to your wife. No matter how your wife views you, nothing she does or says can MAKE you feel anything Only your beliefs and conditioning can do that.

So the way to change how you feel about yourself–when you’re with your wife or not–is to eliminate all the relevant negative beliefs. And you can find the ones you need at our store: http://recreateyourlife.com/store.

May I suggest a book that has Morty Lesfkoe in the 1st line of the acknowledgments so that you may get a better understanding of what is being said instead of coming from and through your belief filters as no belief is true for it is only a thought that one has repeated long enough to give it more power than the thought it really is. “The Book of EST” by Luke Rhinehart.

I have no control over anything and yet whatever I need/want still shows up when considered. No effort on my part, it is simply provided.

Also, so you may have a better perception of where I am speaking from check out ‘Tony Parsons’ on the net or any of his books. Again you are speaking theory and I’m speaking from my experience. War is not in my experience and it isn’t my experience. Are you a soldier, is war something that you contemplate often, how specifically is it part of your experience? Or is it simply a mental construct you are presenting to hold a BS-Belief System in place?

A simple example of the power of thought. You are going down the road and somebody shouts an obscenity at you. They are just words. But those words evoke an image and a thought in your mind. That thought leads to feelings to anger, perhaps hurt, or even humiliation. Within a millisecond your whole state of mind has changed. How? Because thoughts act through laws that are as concrete as the law of gravity. Perhaps in your anger you go up to that person and beat him up; the police comes; they take you to jail; your family gets distressed; your kid who really loves you decides that standing up to somebody is bad because you could go to jail. So, you see how a simple thought could impact and change your environment and people around you. We all have heard about and seen people who seem to light up the room when they enter. How does that happen? Their inner thoughts and beliefs are operating through an invisible medium and impacting their environment. The same holds true for the reverse personality.

It is a well established observation in quantum physics that there is no outcome, no reality until an observer asks a question (making an observation using an instrument is asking a question). At that moment, all possible outcomes simply collapse into a single discrete answer (reality). So, we have power over reality through the questions we ask (thoughts we hold).

In this sense reality is both illusion (an eather of infinite possibilities) and concrete (single specific manifestation). The act of attention is the creative act that brings manifestation out of illusion.

God created man with one special gift – the freewill to choose. By choosing we become creators in a small way. The whole universe re-arranges in a small way the moment we make a choice. We do this unknowingly every moment of our lives when we choose what to pay attention to.

I see no conflict between LOA and occurances as being discussed here. Both are outcomes of what we decide to focus on – whether compelled by beliefs and conditionings or by conscious visualization and expectations.

Cesar Milan (the dog whisperer) proves LOA, manifestation and occurance laws in every episode. His rules for manifestation are simple – have a clear picture in your mind as to how you want your dog to behave, expect that the dog will behave in that way, and you yourself behave in a way consistent with this thought and do not waver. Of all the different behavior possibilities of the dog, it collapses into a single reality or occurance (behavior) because Cesar paid attention to it and manifested it through LOA.

I am only speaking my experience, not theory. Whatever is needed/wanted shows up when it is felt. (No-thing, the void, emptiness, Source) whatever term one has for divinity/the more than, etc. is experiencing itself and there is not a ‘me’ present. I am not talking about theories or stories etc only what is being experienced presently.

There is no individual ‘they’ or ‘me’ from this place there is everything and nothing both at the same time. There is no separation, no individual from here. It is not about a particular person going by the name of Houston (as there is only beingness being here) manifesting everything and yet Being does manifest everything.

Everything comes out of Nothing (No-thing), emptiness, void and everything is Nothingness pretending to be something. And Everything is surrounded, inner-penetrated, supported, made from and carried by Nothingness (No-thing). Look around every where there is way more space than stuff, even on the Quantum level.

In your book, RECREATE YOUR LIFE, you note the conclusions of a case study on Self-Esteem. – “Self-Esteem is the likeliest candidate for a social vaccine, something that empowers us to live responsibly and that inoculates us against the lures of crime, violence, substance abuse, teen pregnancy, child abuse, chronic welfare dependency, and educational failure. The lack of self-esteem is central to most personal and social ills plaguing our state and nation as we approach the end of the twentieth century.”

In reference to Jackie’s comment about people – “loving their beliefs”, I heard of an interesting story about some of the slaves Harriet Tubman tried to liberate. To her shock, there were many slaves who were so thoroughly brainwashed or “conditioned,” that they argued that their enslavement was “normal” and that there was no condition for them to be rescued from. Needless to say, there was absolutely nothing she could do to convince them otherwise.

We see this mental state in the young child who may feel it’s her fault that her parents abuse her either verbally or physically. Some children have been conditioned to believe they deserve it.

We’ve all heard stories of young women who think their boyfriends are justified in physically abusing them and they rationalize going back to him repeatedly, often at the cost of their own lives.

It is not only important that we remain tolerant of one anothers beliefs but also challenge one another to question those beliefs that don’t serve us or the world at large.

My personal understanding is that the thing we perceive as reality is an illusion which we create with the words we think and speak. Christ said to those who marveled at what he did “This and more will you do”. In the beginning is the Word.

There is therefore an amalgamation of payoffs in having the beliefs in the first place. When the pain of the belief exceeds the payoff then the desire to change will happen.

Therefore you have to engage with the process that Morty put together. You have to want to get rid of them and only a handful of people WANT to get shot of their shackles – because that is what beliefs are. In fact you believe you want to eliminate your beliefs and you do not want to. Beliefs are the antithesis of TRUTH and have held back the growth and development of mankind overall by causing personal misery, wars, ignorance and cold cruelty in the perpetration of unspeakable actions towards other people, animals and polluting the planet.

Belief has been put on a pedestal – After all did not Christ say – Believe in me? – Is not believing the root of the so called LAW of attraction? (who on earth said it was a law? Newton?)

Yes it is a useful tool and we cannot do without it in structuring our lives and keeping us going – indeed it has been responsible for the survival of the human race. So how can we sort out this conundrum?

It is by learning the one aspect is little spoken of – personal responsibility. Christ and all religious leaders have said – Go Within -
and what we say nowadays in the enlightened circles is – Take a look – at your agendas, motivations – Know Thyself…. the red pill of the Matrix.

The truth is not – out there – it is part of a complicated web of information that has become the foundation of our characters and uniqueness. There is no textbook in existence that can take away our individual part in the matter of living. Our perception of what should be and could be – indeed what we think we want – is a chip off the block of Truth… a microcosm like a chip of a hologram.

Yes it’s complicated. Morty has managed to laser through the complexities with the genius of simplicity – however when you are ready to let go of your beliefs – they will be gone.

Only you can do what you need to do and with the greatest of respect – only you know what beliefs hold you back from what. We cannot make a method out of life itself as hard as the entirety of the medics and popes (etc) do so try.

I speak from my own experience of doing the confidence course and engaging seriously and faithfully with eliminating 19 beliefs etc. I have done a great deal in my path of learning about myself in relation to life so I came to it with a full array of T-shirts – a full quotient of Been-there-done-that. Morty’s method seriously changed my life.

However – the question arises – NOW what? We shall see if I have it in me to pass on some of what I have learned and manifest what I want – my passion to create communities that work to bring the folk natural happiness which is mankind’s natural estate.

if one would be able to manifest everything. Then it would have already been done by now, i know of no one, that doesnt mean anything, but i surely would have seen the effects, or else he has done a mighty bad job. I was speaking theoretically and you do as if you know the truth. I know of people talking about losing themselves and being one with their surroundings, they never talked about being able to manifest everything.

My take is you are both accurate in your assessment. The 1st Forgotten Fundamental of Life is “The Individual is the Meaning Maker”. It seems LOA works and the more one is identified as creator the more it works and as Tony so apply stated when one looses the sense of ‘self/me’ and identifies with everything LOA and manifestation just is, as it is what comes from No-thing into existence. When we experience that there is no other, there is no one and nothing creates everything. Weird paradox but fun.

I think you overestimate the effect of identification with the creator, altough there is a shift in consciousness a part of me is still attached to the creation. A full identification with consciousness would mean i would “lose myself” and the feeling of seperateness with the surrounding world. It would mean i would feel one with everything surrounding me, i can imagine from that state the ability to manifest could be bigger.

You said, “I don’t think that you, as a creation, can consistently ‘create’ anything in reality, such as relationships or money.”

Now, if the Law of Attraction, as commonly taught, was “Truth”, then, you would manifest “not consistently creating things” in accordance with your belief. Right?

The issue is: what is the true nature of “reality”. From this one can then extrapolate “laws” (like gravity, which affects everyone equally, all the time). To the extent that we can grasp the true nature of “things”, we will then know if beliefs are the sole determinant of what we experience or if it is Angels ruling a Kabbalistic sphere that do.
