*Systems of Belief* B: All right, I'll say how are you all this evening of your time as you create time to exist? AUD: Great. B: Oh, thank you. Allow us to begin with the idea, this interaction: systems of belief. This can also be your title for this evening, if you wish. AUD: What was it? B: Systems of Belief. Systems, structures, the idea of that which forms a pattern, a series or cycle of ideas or observations which allow you to create a perception of continuity and cohesion. Systems of belief. Now, we have discussed with you many times the idea that it is your beliefs that create the physical reality you experience. Each and every one of these beliefs is the representation of a particular vibrational resonance, a particular frequency of the fundamental energy patterns that give rise to physical reality, a particular vibration. And so as that vibration is manifested into your physical reality, as it is manifested as your physiological experiential reality -- because it operates on a certain wave length, shall we say, it will have a tendency in physiological reality to gather to itself patterns of vibratory frequency that are similar in nature to the original vibration. In this way it will key into other beliefs, other vibratory patterns that will aggregate around this primary belief so as to set up what appears to be a frame of reference in which to understand and be able to perceive the original belief by surrounding itself with slightly out-of-phase vibrations. Similar but not exact, so that you have a reference point -- some surroundings, some illusion of background -- against which you can see the primary belief. This aggregation, this drawing together of similar belief systems, so as to allow the primary belief to stand out, occurs quite automatically, quite naturally within you -- as you say, quite second nature -- so rapidly, so quickly that you may not even realize, or have not realized, that this is what you are doing to create the seeming background of reality that in your society you have had a tendency to think of simply as, quote/unquote, that's the way reality is. Your life happens in this reality; in the specific beliefs of your reality (they) manifest themselves against this backdrop of the overall reality. But this overall reality is not simply, "That's the way it is. It is the background that you create by surrounding the primary belief structure you have with similar belief structures, so that you can create a gradation, a variation of beliefs to expand outward from you to create a backdrop against which to see the primary belief of your life, the primary focus of your life. Now, these structures after a time have become ingrained within you to the extent that you take this background for granted. And you simply, as we have said, think of it much as if it is something that exists without you. In this way, it has been one of the primary mechanisms that has allowed you to experience the illusion of the universal reality as seemingly outside of yourselves, You may recognize that in your society quite often, because of the repetition of this idea, because this is now the way you automatically, as you say, set the stage, you have created many ideas in your society that there is only one way for this stage to be set. And it is against only that background that you measure everything in your life. But recognize: as soon as you change the fundamental primary focus beliefs that represent the being you are, the entire background changes with it. Everything changes. Everything is connected; everything is the same one thing. And a change in the primary focus creates what you colloquially call the domino effect, and changes occur all the way down the line in the entire pattern, in the entire backdrop. It may seem at times to be subtle. But they are far-ranging and quite widespread -- if you will allow yourselves to recognize that they exist. Many times, therefore, when you seek to create changes in your own live, your own primary system focus, many times you will only continuously weigh that primary focus or change against a background that you will not allow yourselves to see has changed. But if you are willing to recognize that everything changes when you change anything, then many times you will not see the primary background in the same light. You will begin to realize that something is different -- somewhere, somehow. In this way many times, this is why many of you create the seeming contradictions in your life. For you say that you wish to change the primary focus; but then when you look around in the background, you continually watch to see the same background -- in a sense, to see the idea of your primary focus against the same background, rather than allowing the entire background to be a part of the primary focus, and change along with it. When you look at the background in the same way you used to, you immediately cancel the change you made in your primary focus. Because it is all one and the same thing. The echo, the background, carries its origin point from the original sound. Many of you many times will look to this echo to see changes occur in the echo before you will allow yourselves to validate the changes you know you have made, or you desire to make, in the primary focus of your being. But if you seek validation in the echo, then you will only continue in the reality in which you have already focus yourselves. Because the validation must come in the primary sound, the primary signal, first -- before you will see it in the echo of the background reality you consider to be your exterior universe. Is all of this translating? AUD: Yes. B: Therefore recognize simply that one primary belief will always, in physical reality, extend itself to create a seeming system of beliefs with which it becomes surrounded and supported so that the primary belief can have a place, can have an existence, in physical reality. No belief will exist unto itself in a void, as you say. Every belief brings with it a complete and total entourage, if you will, a complete and total set of props. A complete and total backdrop, a complete and total stage, and a complete and total audience receptive to that particular play. AUD: Ah! Huh! B: Ah! In this way, therefore, allow yourselves, if you truly desire to change the primary focuses in your lives, the primary beliefs that you are allowing yourselves to be in touch with -- do not play them out in the same stage. Allow yourselves to know you are in a completely different locale. Everything has changed -- everything. You follow me? AUD: Yes. Mmhmm. B: Thus then, you can recognize that whole systems of reality -- not just one portion, but the total system of reality that you perceive your lives to be -- will then change from system to system, not just particle to particle. Everything will transform in that way. Many individuals in your society simply have but to realize that many of the things they wish to see occur, many of the things they desire to see validations of in a particular specific sense, will also occur if they will change the entire system first. Then all the particles that go along with the representation of the new system will also be there as well. You can do it either way. As we have said: cause and effect are the same event; you can work it from both directions. You can have a cause, which creates an effect; you can have an effect, which creates a cause. You can change the whole system; you can change a specific within the system. And in every case both the specifics and the system change. You can work it from either end - inside out, backwards/forwards, upside down. It doesn't matter. Simply when you do make the change, allow yourselves to function as if a change has occurred across the entire spectrum. Otherwise all you are doing is focusing yourselves into a localized specific effect. And you do not allow yourselves to see how the change you have made in yourselves has made a change in the reality you desire around you to see. You follow along? AUD: Yes. B: Sharing.
