Step 6 ~ Un attachment

The turning point of healing from false beliefs is when you finally reach the step of Becoming unattached to those false beliefs.

It's when the false belief is there, and you know it's there, but it does not affect you like it did before.

It feels like the false belief knows it's losing and it has finally given up the battle of trying to run your life.

When you become spiritually stronger, the false beliefs becomes weaker. You are able to see the false belief for what it truly is and that it is nothing more than an illusion you thought was real, but never was.

Illusions of False Beliefs

When you unknowingly or knowingly accept false beliefs about yourself, you become attached to those beliefs due to believing in those false beliefs. How people begin accepting those false beliefs are from other people in ones life that mean something to them.

People, in general, care how others see and value them. And when someone says something negative about them, they tend to take it personally, and this is where the false belief is able to take hold of them, and cause them to believe that the negative opinions from others are true.

This is when the false beliefs takes a life of its own, and makes you think it's You, of who you are. If you believe that this false belief is you, then you give the false belief power over your life and it can now Be itself Through you, causing you to believe your the one who is in control, when in reality its in control.

In reality, the false beliefs aren't real, false beliefs only seems real if you believe in them.

If you think back to a time when you were a child, and think about a time when someone said something negative to you. Think about how that made you feel.

Now go over in your mind how that person would have made you feel if they had said something positive to you, instead of the negative.

As you can see from looking back in time, you can see how the false belief was really an illusion that you accepted about yourself due to believing what the person said to you. You see, if the person never would have said anything to you, you would not have that memory to look back on and remember the negative, which means you would not have accepted any false belief about yourself to begin with. But if the person said something positive, you would have taken on a positive belief that would have had a positive affect on you and your life.

I know for many of us, we were treated at times like we didn't matter, and felt like we were unimportant and that nothing we could do would amount to anything positive. And if anything positive did happen in our life, it was usually over shadowed with a dozen negative reminders, because heaven forbid we might actually believe something positive about ourselves.

When we grow up believing these negatives about ourselves, we tend to not be able to see anything positive in other people and we are even prone to pointing out the negatives in others, and we end up over shadowing any positives they might have for negatives as well. When you heal yourself of these negative beliefs, you will begin the change of not wanting to point out the negatives in others, but more of their positive qualities.

Freedom of Choice

If you think back to the times when people said negatives to or about you, you can in your own mind go back in time and make a different choice of not accepting that false belief. You do this by making a Free-Will Choice to undo the original decision and make a new decision.

When you know you have the power to make a better choice, you will begin the step of becoming unattached to that false belief. Once you have made the new decision of what to believe about yourself, you will have become completely unattached to the old false belief. The false belief will still be there at this point, but it will have lost its grip on you.

You see, when you are non-attached to what others think or say about you from your past, you will become that much stronger of a person who can see through the illusion of the negatives that comes from others, because you know they aren't real. You will be the one to decide how you will believe about yourself, whether it's a positive or a negative statement made about you.

To be completely non-attached to what others think or say about you, you need to know it's a gradual process when getting to that stage in your life where you become completely non-attached. So you work on healing one false belief at a time, which over time as you work on each false belief, there will come a time when there are no more false beliefs left and you will find yourself a 100% non-attached to what others think or say about you. Which means, you will be Free to Be Who You Are and More.

So, once you have become unattached to a false belief, you're ready for the next step when healing.
