43 On Seeing Simple Truths
EXPERIENCE has taught us that there are basic truths
we can operate from in our healing processes—basic guides, if you like. These truths are all about us, and none are
about our supposed circumstances. All, if respected, will allow us to step a
little deeper into our conundrum, develop an appreciation of our life’s
predicament and, possibly, if we are paying close attention, reveal how to get
out of it.
1. Each
one of us holds beliefs, some conscious and some unconscious. Our behavior is shaped far more by our
unconscious beliefs than by our conscious ones.
2. Most
of our unconscious beliefs were formed early on in our lives (before age three) and are strongly influenced by the culture we grew up in.
3. There
are structures of our consciousness, or states of being, that further the hurt
and pain within us. These are places or
conditions of non-peace, states of fear that verge on terror, and places of
buried or denied hurts, deep distrust of humanity, and frustrated hostility
that is always ready to boil over.
4. It
is normal for any of us to exhibit strong resistance to even recognizing any
evidence that challenges the legitimacy or the adequacy of these deep-set
unconscious beliefs.
5. Despite
the resistance, unconscious beliefs can be changed.
