Working out your beliefs means that you have to simply make a deliberate effort by devising a turnaround strategy for your mental positioning. It includes undergoing a lot of processes to unlearn things that our environment has imposed on you.
Throughout our lives, and especially during our childhood, many impressions are formed about ourselves, since at the very beginning of our lives we do not know who we are or who we should be until we learn it from those around us, who are older, and who know more things and who presumably love us.
One of the biggest mistakes we can make in our lives is to refer only to the opinions of others to work out who we are. When someone tells a child, “You are naughty”, “You are ignorant”, or “You are lazy”, this child is creating negative and false images about himself. The child may have said or done something wrong, but this does not mean that because of this they are naughty.
It was their behaviour that was bad. It is important to establish the difference between, “You are a bad boy”, and “It is not right to yell at your brother”. Because many people confuse behavior with the person, false negative beliefs are created, and these are dragged along throughout one’s life and keep on functioning like mental limitations.
Trapped by mental limits, human beings in general only use 10 percent of their inner potential, and the other 90 percent is available but is not used due to oversight. Meditating helps us to cross these mental limits. Meditation takes us to a higher dimension of our physical identity that releases us from these limits.
