THE WHITE TIGER: THE END OF EFFORTING
The Keys to Psychological Freedom - The Second Key
BELIEF
Definition of Belief: A belief is a subjective attitude that a proposition is true or a state of affairs is the case. A subjective attitude is a mental state of having some stance, take, or opinion about something.[1]
Definition of Subjective: 1. based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions - dependent on the mind or on an individual's perception for its existence
Definition of Perception: a way of regarding, understanding, or interpreting something; a mental impression
BELIEF IS ONLY PERCEPTION - “A MENTAL IMPRESSION”!
TAKE BACK YOUR POWER!
External rejection of Self, accepted and swallowed, now becomes Internal rejection of Self. It is now a belief. In the believing, we reject our very SELF. We can now tell our Self, with confidence, that we are unbeautiful, broken, and unworthy… (Taken from the post titled The Stumbling Block)
In seeking External validation we have GIVEN AWAY ALL OF OUR POWER! By the very act of seeking external validation, OUR/YOUR power is transferred/given over to an external source, leaving you VULNERABLE and SUBJECT to (a captive of) Fear, Guilt, manipulation, diminishment. The act of giving away your power automatically diminishes you, and makes you less than - makes you not good enough.
…this has taught us SELF rejection and SELF judgement. If we have rejected our SELF - we cannot, and will not Connect with our SELF. HOWEVER, unless we can Connect with our SELF first, we will spend a lifetime trying to make the connection with Other work (ie Efforting). (Taken from the post The Antidote)
If you believe that you need external validation, you will NEVER cease to Effort. You will exhaust yourself chasing something that isn’t real - something that can never be caught up with, captured, reached, secured.
If you do not believe that you need external validation, you will never HAVE to Effort. There is no expenditure of energy burned in the chasing of an illusion - a perception.
CHANGE YOUR PERCEPTION - TAKE BACK YOUR POWER!
CHANGE YOUR PERCEPTION - TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE!
THE SHIFT
A Belief is a decision. It is a choice.
A Belief can always change or be changed.
A Belief can change based on new wisdom, understanding, knowledge.
The earth was Believed to be Flat at one point in time, until there was new knowledge and understanding demonstrating that the earth is, in fact, quite round.
Society would have all of us believe that the earth is flat/we require outside validation. It is the engine that runs commerce, industry, and social media. It is the life blood of an economy and a society. It serves a specific purpose, which is not you.
The earth is, in fact, quite round/we do not need external validation. We only require Internal validation, and this serves, specifically, you.
How do you make the shift? By understanding that the earth is round. By giving your Self permission to no longer believe that the earth is flat. By permitting your Self to begin to consider a new way of thinking and looking at the world, the round world. By taking back your power. By taking back your control over your Self and your life.
For in letting go of the Belief that you are beholden to Other, by releasing it, by no longer clinging to it, by NO LONGER ACCEPTING IT, by no longer tolerating it, by NO LONGER CHOOSING IT, all of the exhausting Efforting will cease. It will, in fact, be the end of Efforting. It is, in fact, the Second key that opens another door, a very big door, to Psychological Freedom.
