How much of you is trapped?

Do you remember The Ecto Containment Unit in the movie Ghostbusters? If you remember the movie then you will know that whenever the Ghostbusters captured a ghost in a specially designed trap it was then deposited in the Ecto containment unit along with all the other trapped ghosts. "Where is this going?" You may ask. Well I do like analogy and I do like to find parallels between things that on the surface don’t look related at all.

The ecto containment unit is important for this article because of how it operates. It needs electrical power to maintain imprisonment of the ghosts it contains. When the power is shut down by the health and safety guy in the movie, the machine cannot hold its contents and hundreds of ghosts are set free to roam in New York City and that is the point where I find my analogy!

People have many beliefs that do not serve them. People believe things about themselves and the world around them, mostly unconscious of having those beliefs at all. These beliefs are held in the subconscious, which I also happen to think includes the cells of our bodies, hence many stress related diseases. In fact you hear people say when they become a little more aware of certain beliefs they have or shall we say "problems" that they have "Demons", which in the context of Ghostbusters: The movie is just like the ghosts.

…And here is the main point.

The subconscious beliefs we hold within us that seem to control us consume energy. They are a creation of the ego and the ego, just like everything else requires energy for survival. The ego has only one source of energy seeing as it a creation of our minds and that source is OUR energy. So from day to day you are spending huge amounts of energy on maintaining beliefs, thoughts about the past, fears about the future, feelings of guilt, resentment, anger etc… which leave very little for you and you need this energy if you want to create your life as you desire it.

Your spirit is connected to infinite consciousness and this is an abundant supply of energy, but your own "ecto containment system" syphons off the energy before it gets to where it really needs to be and leaves very little left for you to be as magnificent as you can be, so you could say that what we need to do is plug these leaks in energy, the leaks being each non-serving belief or habitual thought patterns.

Sounds painful! How do we do that? Well fortunately, we don’t need to blast our beliefs down with a proton pack What we must do is identify these beliefs and transform them. If you have a belief that you are unlovable, for example, once identified you can work on transforming that until you believe the opposite. Normally finding the root cause event will help dissolve such a belief very quickly once it is exposed.

Tools to help exercise your spiritual muscle, so to speak are what this website is about. I find regular meditation unearths non-serving beliefs in me gradually and can be dealt with. I don’t spend too much time "trying" to find my negative beliefs. I spend more time having dialogues with my intuition with the faith that I will be informed when I need to be. I am then able to focus on what I want to do (by doing it) and maintaining the discipline every day, so as to strengthen the connection between myself and my intuition: Disciplines like daily meditation, writing my life design morning and night, reminding myself as often as possible during the day of my heart’s desire and intention and living as much of it as is possible as achieved right now. It works!
