Transforming Beliefs

The belief will move from a possibility, into a probability, and then it becomes an innate truth.

Question: Hi Alana! My question is about beliefs.

I know how to create new beliefs, but I find when I create a new belief the old belief is also still there. And this creates conflict and confusion as both beliefs are held together.

How does one resolve this conflict? How do I let go of the old belief that is no longer serving me and allow the new belief to run?

It feels as if I am unconsciously running two opposing programs at the same time and then feel conflicted and incongruent.

Is there a way to consciously or unconsciously incorporate the new belief and at the same time stop running the old belief?

Answer: That is a very delightful question and thank you, dear one, for bringing it forth. It is one that will be of benefit to many.

Well, it is interesting when we come to the place in our conscious awareness where we recognize that we have grown out of a belief and are eager, ready, or anticipating bringing forth a new belief. When we are at this stage the new belief and the old belief will still run parallel so what you are experiencing is not unusual.

Transforming Parallel Opposing Beliefs

In the first stage of bringing in a new belief having a parallel opposing belief present is part of the process of transformation. Recognize that there is really no way to fully eradicate, fully dismiss, or fully disengage from an old belief while a new belief is beginning to form and become primary.

But, in the process recognize that as you make conscious choices to strengthen your new belief, and turn towards it, it will gradually gain much more power than your old belief.

It is kind of like a railroad track, you know? You have one track on one side and one track on the other, and for a while, they run side by side because they are still connected. As they run parallel and you continue to turn toward your new belief through intent, you will strengthen its power and begin to gather more evidence of its occurrence.

The belief will move from a possibility, into a probability, and then it becomes an innate truth.

Temptations will arise to attach your thoughts to the old belief because there will still be evidence showing you that it is also true. What you do in a case as this is to recognize when an opportunity arises to bring more of your “threads” from the old belief to your consciousness so you can practice affirming what you do want.

You are empowering a transformation, or a way to acknowledge (rather than resist) and then breathe in energy to align with your new belief. When remnants from an old belief arise, it is a wonderful thing because it means that you are wishing to generate more energy and success with your new belief. You are just bringing up anything other than it so that your new belief can become clearer.

So, what you are speaking of is the natural order, the natural process that one goes through to become more aware of their new path so experiences begin to unfold in the outer world.

Beyond Judging the Process

I recognize in your statement that along with our beliefs–both old and new–we also attach emotions. When we catch ourselves still following the old beliefs, we sometimes fall into an emotion of pain or struggle. Then it is the pain that we judge. Do you see?

When you get to the place where you notice that you are following the old path say out loud, “Thank You. Thank you for bringing this awareness to my thoughts.” Eventually, you will find it is not pain that you feel. You will feel appreciation for your emotions because they wish to lead you so you may gain a greater sense of awareness that you desire to be more allowing of your new belief.

You desire your new belief to create an opening in your outer world by creating shapes, patterns, and various manifestations in your life.

And so this is a gradual dance. It is one of developing greater conscious awareness. You are creating a statement for your higher consciousness which will allow experiences of this new belief. Eventually you will be so attuned–so aligned to your new belief–that your railroad tracks will no longer run parallel. They will become one single track (monorail) because you will have neutrality with the old belief and the new belief will then be primary.

Hopefully, this answer has given you tools to understand that all that you feel, all that you sense, and all that you’ve become aware of is actually a part of your creation and a stream for your new belief to flow.

Thank you so much, dear one. It was delightful to give you a little personal coaching on this issue. Keep your joy!
