STUPID BELIEFS OF ELDERS A BIG DRAWBACK FOR KIDS
Belief is your conviction of the truth, of a proposition, without its verification. STREET PHILOSOPHY BECOMES OUR PSYCHOLOGY. Psyche pertains to study of Inner self, the soul, level of understanding & sharpness of Intellect.
JUST BELIEVING NO VERIFICATION EVER
Belief is your conviction of the truth of a preposition without its VERIFICATION. Usually blind beliefs. You believe in many things because everyone around you believes in them, of course without verification. In many other things, you are made to believe through repetitive coaching, counseling, advertisement watching, and radio listening. As a result of the entire above overload of information, you come to believe in many things very powerfully, dangerously, and wrongly. The belief engine chugs away, strengthening old beliefs, spewing out new ones, rarely discarding any. We can sometimes see foolishness in other people’s beliefs, but it is difficult to see the same error in our own beliefs.
BELIEFS DO NOT ESTABLISH TRUTH
Reality does not change depending upon your beliefs, and perceptions. Beliefs do not establish truth. How do we acquire these harmful beliefs? We internalize them from our environment, parents, teachers, role models, when we are very young, innocent, raw, and quite impressionable. Belief formation is spontaneous and involuntary. What are beliefs? They are mini programs in our memory. We internalize the age-old beliefs handed down from one generation to another, pretty much Stone Age stuff.
TRUTH IS SPIRITUAL
TRUTH needs no verification, you know it automatically, intuitively. First, we have knowledge, then we churn it, and it becomes wisdom. When we cappuccino further, it sublimates to TRUTH. You can subscribe to the best religion in
the world yet portray a low-class character / behavior. Spirituality brings out exemplary behavior in an honest person, which makes him inspiring, attractive
& happy. Religion is a set of principles for living life. Spirituality is imbibing these sets of principles into your elevated life. Usually we talk about them & are never serious in implementing them into our
lives.
FACTORY WITH NO MOVING PARTS
Mind is your thought factory. You generate, manufacture millions of thoughts every day. It never stops functioning till the last breadth is out. You
manufacture both sides of the coin here: good thoughts and bad thoughts, happy pictures, and gloomy pictures, eventually successes and failures. When you think and believe in self, progress and moving mountains you get them.
When you disbelief in yourself, doubting, fearing, fumbling, you go down. By switching on positive channel, looking important, having the right attitude takes you first class. While switching on negative channel, listening
to bad news, looking inadequate and defeated takes you second class. Our beliefs about ourselves and the world form the framework of our REALITY. Our world behaves as much as we expect it to or as we all believe it will. If
you think you can or cannot, in either case you are right.
PREPROGRAMMED HARD DISKS
We go through life struggling with these preprogrammed hard disks which refuse to take in new and correct information from reality and everyday events. We are totally biased with these age-old perceptions and notions that act like filters or brackets in our life’s experiences. In short, world events happen to us objectively, while we experience them subjectively through our filters, totally opposite angles and viewpoints. What is the solution to this faulty programming problem? Simple! Format your hard disk or floppy and leave it blank as it was when you were born. It would be even better if you reprogram it as you wish it now, master of yourself. You oversee your life. Does it now, rewrite your own program? Be alert, be aware of this malfunction. This is the root of all problems, misery, and suffering. Most people do not want to do it themselves. They are again afraid of the unknown as usual, or they do not know where to start or how to go about it.
REMEMBERING RHYMES BY HEART – REALLY
IS THE BRAIN BEATING LIKE A HEART
Do you remember your nursery rhymes still? How did you do it or were made to do it? BY HEART! I am sorry, it is not so. You got it wrong again. You remember your rhymes by Brain, by head and not by heart. Our grandparents had everything wrong side up like our well frogs. They very strongly believed that the earth was flat & the Sun went round the Earth. Also, nothing heavier than air could never fly. But again, you see for yourself that they were wrong. Today we can fly from London to New York in a jumbo jet weighing hundreds of tons.
BELIEF OF YOUR BIOLOGICAL FATHER
A young boy, Tamy aged 8, was asked by his friend Tanner, aged 10, who is your father? Then Tamy said, my dad obviously. How do you know this fact for sure, asked Tanner? Because my dad told me so. Well, go and ask your mother again. Only a mother can tell you who your real father is, and no one else. The best part is that you have got to believe your mother too, no matter what she tells you. The first belief of all your hundreds of beliefs happens to be the belief of your biological father. Goops! Did I trigger some doubt in you?
SELF HELP OR EXTERNAL HELP
There are two ways out of this difficulty. First one, self-help, the BUDDHA method, which is tough, long, time consuming, and involves looking inside. The second method is an easy one. Getting helps from outside, the help of a specialist who deals with reprogramming human hard disks! I am talking of a hypnotist. He will reprogram your hard disk for good, of course for a huge sum of money, and very easily. No effort is needed on your part. We will elucidate some of the various categories of beliefs, almost all of them baseless.
YOU BELIEVE WRONGLY & DANGEROUSLY
That whatever is written in the holy books is the word of God and cannot be questioned!
Going to the church/temple for 2 hours once a week will get you to heaven–no effort needed.
That you must protect your land/God by killing others or self!
That you must always control children, dominate them and not let go of them.
That shouting/punishing/showing anger will right the wrong and discipline the child.
That there is no quality life without TV/parties/friends/long vacations!
That people must compliment very often on their looks & clothes.
That lot of money and expensive gifts will make you happy.
That you must switch to new partners to find love in them or new egos eventually.
That there are limited quantities of goods in this world, hence hoard up!
That the world situations and adverse climates are to be blamed for your misery!
That other people’s bad behavior is the cause of your suffering, and you can change them, by nagging, all the time.
That you hate all those who criticize, disagree, abused you in the past, hence no forgiveness!
That you must feed your body four to five meals per day!
That it is normal to own a couple of diseases and slow down, as you age up.
That only a medical doctor and his medicine will heal you, while you continue with your vices and bad choices, and show total helplessness.
CORE BELIEFS - GOD FEARING
These are universal, age-old beliefs that the whole world pretty much believes in, of course, without reasoning and without verification. Let us call them Grandparents beliefs. Raise your hands if anyone of you is God fearing? All hands go up because we all fear GOD. We have been made to FEAR HIM. Should we be fearing Him or loving Him? GOD loving! How did you get this wrong or upside down?
RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
We internalize these wrong beliefs from our role models when we are very young. These dangerous mind manipulations were brought forward from centuries of the past to our role models. So now they pass them on to your helpless child in the name of culture, traditions, and values.
PRIMITIVE MAN - DULL INTELLECT
The primitive man awed the birds and animals because he could not fly, or hunt likes them. He feared to death the invisible spirits and all-powerful forces of nature which were beyond his comprehension at that time. Therefore, he started to worship all these elements to appease them for his own safety and life. It was his invention. It was the technology of the Stone Age. It made perfect sense for such an undeveloped brain.
NO FREE WILL - ALL RESPONSIBILITY SHIFTED TO FORCES OF NATURE/GOD
The religious principles and practices progressed very slowly and changed from time to time. It started with Toteism, progressed to Pantheism and stopped at Monotheism, concept of one God. The primitive man had no free will of his own; therefore, he believed that all actions were ordered by divine. He had the perfect attitude of acceptance and reverence. He had no concept of ego too, and therefore shifted all responsibility to the Gods. He basically lived in abundance and detachment mode hence was largely very happy and disease free. He accepted death of a loved one as part of the divine blueprint; hence it was celebrated with the whole tribe and full festivities.
RELIGION AS MONEY SIPHONING INSTITUTION
Today the same religion has taken a drastic twist for the worse and evolved into an institution for power and money siphoning, for the top few. The holy priest lives in power at your cost. Religion was invented for a purpose. The purpose is organized exploitation of the people, the masses who cannot think for themselves and to keep them in subjugation. How is it done? By making you sinful, feeling guilty, and begging for repentance and of course paying a big price. The priest makes you confess all your secret affairs that you are having or have had in the past. Automatically, you are made to feel guilty about it. The way out of this mess is repentance and of course your charity will help his “tribe” thrive in luxury, while you rot in misery. How can you be happy, if your religion denies the natural instincts of desires, sex, daydreaming, love, and morality? You cannot be happy. It places religion in the supernatural realm where you cannot question it or its authority. So, you end up as a puppet in his hands. He wants it all: your obedience, your money and your commitment. Society has created schools for scoundrels and now expects it to churn out honest citizens. It will not happen.
SUPPRESSION OF SEXUAL ENERGIES BY SEPARATION
We have separate schools for boys and girls. We built separate monasteries for male priests and female nuns. This separation forces suppression of the Sexual energies. Over long periods of time it cannot be contained and finally it erupts like volcanoes as homosexuality and lesbianism. First the society makes you gay and then condemns you for acting out as a pervert. You feel guilty deep inside for what you have become. This is what they want. Your subjugation to them! These relationships are based on lust and not on love; hence they are short lived, meaningless, unproductive, and unacceptable in the wider society. The partners very soon get bored with satiety and break up violently with serious consequences, tearing apart their souls and ruining the bodies with incurable diseases.
ABSTRACT BELIEFS
We learn that teachers, doctors, parents know best and therefore they hold enormous power over our minds and learning. From the very beginning we are told many abstract beliefs, like the tooth fairy coming and taking away our first tooth and Santa Claus coming in his sleigh to bring us Christmas presents, gifts. This is our starting point to rely less and less on our confidence and intelligence and get into the wrong Stone Age belief systems.
SUPERSTITIOUS BELIEFS
Beliefs are based on ignorance. They know that these beliefs are baseless stuff, yet they believe in them helplessly and act accordingly. The most common one is the belief about the number 13. It is so unlucky that it does not appear anywhere. The hotels do not have a thirteenth floor ever and room number 13 cannot be lived in because it does not exist. The same belief is about number 4. Coincidentally the numerals in 13 add up to 4 also. Friday the 13th is considered even more inauspicious. Friday is a very bad day for setting sail, going on a trip, bed change and stitching of garments.
FANS WILL SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF YOU
In various parts of the world people believe in different things, very foolishly. In Korea all ceiling fans and table fans are manufactured with timer devices. No fans ever run for ever, continuously. They believe that the fan will suck the life out of you, if left to run all day and night.
CATS CROSSING YOUR PATH IS BAD OMEN
Another good one is about cats crossing your path on the streets. You must stop dead in your path, change directions for a while and then continue after a little break. So rigid is this belief. It is about cats leaving an electrostatic charge in their paths which could affect you, if you went ahead, of course baseless. In the West, cats are the pampered lot in homes. People live with them all day without getting charged electrostatically.
KNOCKING ON THE WOOD FOR NUTS
Opening an umbrella inside the house is a bad omen. So is walking under a ladder and placing your shoes on the table. Good luck beliefs are stupid too, like keeping your fingers crossed and knocking on wood. If the hands are itchy then money is either going out or coming in. Finally, if you find a penny on the ground and pick it up then it will bring luck, because an angel placed it there.
LIMITING BELIEFS & HEXING
We are all brought up with hundreds of limitations. This provides a very narrow perspective for our growth and development and sets brakes on our progress for the rest of our lives. We are made to believe that we cannot do a particular task, rather many tasks. Hence, we end up with low self-confidence, low self-esteem and zero capabilities or skills. Later, in life your parents expect you to scale lofty mountains in one single leap. How ridiculous is their belief and style of bringing up children. Hexing is mind manipulation, intentionally or unintentionally. It is being done to children by their parents, role models all the time. It is the imagination of horrific outcomes suggestible in negative direction mostly. The tell-tale signs of people who are self-hexed are as follows: It is God’s will, what can you do? They are trapped in life, with their backs against the wall. Such people believe in the above very strongly, cooperate with HEX and give up. They often die young. Angry about being dependent upon others, pessimistic and suspicious of others, avoiding personal contact, they live their lives thus. Poor sinners, victims of circumstances of their lives, pawns of judgmental vengeful God, will continue to find bad things happening to good people.
FATAL BELIEFS
It is good to remain under pressure to perform well.
It is normal to be stressed most of the time.
Deadlines motivate you to move ahead in life.
It is OK to react angrily whenever provoked by the other person.
Fear is a healthy tool to get higher productivity.
Irritations and pain are an accepted part of life.
Happiness lies outside in material things/possessions.
My peace is dependent upon the other person’s behavior.
All these traits take you downhill, and you are finished.
I am stupid, not as smart as others, can’t
Neither keep up nor read well.
I don’t deserve, cannot succeed because others do better than me.
I don’t belong here, unwanted, unlovable, don’t fit in and valueless.
I am lost, alone, uncomfortable, insecure, and no one sees me, forgotten, invisible.
I am trapped, unsafe, will be hurt, want to run away.
I hate myself but want to love myself. It is egoistic, selfish to love self.
I don’t deserve to feel my feelings, enjoy life, possessions and must remain sad.
I must be the responsible one, take care of all, and it is not safe to get help.
I was born in original sin, am evil, bad, not worthy of god’s love, and others love.
I am a sinner, needs to be punished, do penance, suffer, and cannot forgive myself.
People don’t listen to me, value my words, hear me out, don’t care what I say.
People are weird, got to do their thing, can never please them.
It is not safe and possible to connect with others. My faults and deficiencies will be seen.
Cars are not safe, and driving is dangerous. Watch everything and keep my distance.
Money is evil, dirty, and it is sinful, selfish, and greedy to want more of it. Work hard for it.
Women are weak, emotional, irrational, and less intelligent, hence must be controlled.
BLOCKING BELIEFS
Real life traumas are the cause of blocking beliefs in us! These beliefs eventually become our blueprint for the rest of our lives. Role models and parents have powerful influence on young minds. A father repeatedly mentions to his son while his daughter is listening too: Boys don’t cry; men are stronger, more capable, and better brains than women. What meaning is the daughter supposed to get from this repetitive conservation? Girls are weak, downplay their strengths, emotionally irrational and less than boys. This is wrong but very true and very much is happening all the time. We pick up the wrong lessons and then wonder, what went wrong? Our caretakers must be mature enough themselves first, to understand the fine tuning and quick absorption rate of the young innocent human minds, which is always irreversible.
OUR MENTAL IMAGES CREATE REALITY
At a football game, in California, it was announced on public address system that 6 to 7 people might have suffered food poisoning from the soda stall. Very soon some 200 people reported sick. There were many in the 200 group, who never went near the soda stall. Next day it was reported on the radio that the soda was not contaminated, soon they all became well suddenly. The body cooperates immediately. Our mind has phenomenal powers, unknown to us. A pious lady, purely vegetarian, unknowingly eats and relishes a pork sandwich. Then, when someone reminds her of the non-vegan pork in the sandwich, she starts to vomit out. Hexed by herself, her body reacts instantaneously.
I treated many patients for different aliments, with only vitamin C, at my father’s clinic when I was a young upcoming apprentice. It always worked. Their belief in my father, as a God like doctor and his medicine, got them to be healed of their sickness in matter of days. Many of them were educated and intelligent, yet their firm belief brought them to my father’s clinic again and again. This just proves our mind has magical powers to heal & influence the functioning of our bodies. The placebo effect has been proven beyond doubt in research laboratories. The reverse is equally true, which implies that negative thoughts & fatal beliefs do cause malfunctions in our bodies. Therefore, be forewarned.
PLACEBO EFFECT
It happened in India in the early 1900. Tarpon lived in a dilapidated shack in Ranchi Bihar. One day he woke up with extreme pain in his stomach and was very sick with loose motions and abdominal cramps. He strongly believed that he had swallowed a whole lizard while he was asleep. His body was cooperating with his belief. He was taken to a hospital, where the doctors checked him out and found nothing wrong with him medically. The doctors tried everything but of no benefit. Tarpon’s condition was deteriorating fast. Finally, the family members sought the help of a Sorcerer. He took the doctors and family members into confidence and devised a plan. Next day Tarpon was taken to an old cemetery in the nighttime to the Sorcerer where he was ready with a small dead lizard in his pocket. Tarpon was asked to drink some soap water while he chanted some Mantras. A bon fire was lighted to make it look like a ritual. Soon Tarpon started vomiting and in the commotion the Sorcerer threw in the dead lizard in the vomit pool very smartly. When Tarpon’s vomiting spell subsided the doctors joyously reported the success of the operation and pointed to the dead lizard in the pool of vomit. Tarpon saw it with his own eyes and was hexed totally. His body cooperated with his new mental belief; he recovered in two days and went home fully recovered.
NOCEBO EFFECT
The human mind can be hexed in diametrically opposite directions. This is a true story of Mitchell. She is the mother of a very famous astronaut. She is legally blind and wears very thick glasses to barely feel her way around when she is moving in the house. She is a very pious, God-fearing lady and a staunch Christian by faith. One day she was thrilled to learn that Chen Norbord the Reiki Master, was coming to a nearby town to deliver a talk. She believed that Chen was a Christian too like her and he happened to be a friend of her astronaut son. But as luck would have it, her son was not available to drive her to the talk. In the meantime, Chen Norbord rang up Mitchell and wished she could make it to his talk. He further suggested that Mitchell should drive down on her own, since her son is tied up elsewhere. Mitchell got her vision restored and drove down 300 km. on her own to attend Chen’s talk. After the talk she confidently drove back another 300 km. without a hitch. It was a miracle that had happened. After two months when her son returned home, he too was thrilled at the miracle. During her discussions with her son, she found out to her utter surprise, that Chen Norbord was a Non–Christian. This belief devastated Mitchell so badly that her body cooperated with her belief, and she lost her vision again.
MEDICAL HEXING
Words that maim: Since medical doctors are held in high regard, their words, prognosis can act as bullets if not curses, and encourage the patient or the victim to die on time as decided by the doctor. Unintentionally the medical doctors HEX their patients to death. Spooky surroundings, intimidating environment, replete with x-rays machines, dim lights, radiology equipment, all put together produce fear and apprehension. Next your foot a heavy bill payment for all these services and finally the doctor gives his diagnosis, or death sentence:
You are living on borrowed time, and this narrow blood vessel is a widow maker.
They told me it would only get worse, and I would just have to live with it, or die of it.
You are going downhill fast, and they said there was nothing more they could do for me.
Your tumor is a ticking time bomb, and all we can do is wait and see what happens.
You are too late to come now for the treatment. The body has become very weak to sustain the high dosage needed to help you.
OPERATION THEATER ETIQUETTE
We never stop hearing. Our auditory fibers are not affected by anesthesia. In the operation theater in a hospital, we are very vulnerable to the intentions and suggestions made by the doctors, surgeons and their assistants even though we are unconscious. In one case the intern in the OT unintentionally said that this is the worst case he had ever seen regarding kidney and bladder repair. The victim heard the loose remark of the intern and believed him. The victim’s body started to cooperate with his new belief, and he never recovered fully as planned by the surgeon’s. He could never urinate without a catheter. In another case the surgeon was performing a knee operation on a middle-aged man. During the operation while the man was unconscious under anesthesia, the surgeon carelessly commented that he has done what he was supposed to do for the knee to come back. This remark was wrongly interpreted by the victim patient that the knee operation had not gone as planned. His body cooperated with his new belief, and he started to die soon after his knee operation. How one casual remark can kill a victim is amazing and very powerful force. This is even more effective than the suggestion of a hypnotist.
THE OLD GERM SYNDROME
A medical student learns about germs, microscopic parasites, bacteria, and he develops a syndrome about them. He goes on washing his hands and cleaning himself up to 100 times a day. Sure, enough he is never clean enough. He is an excellent example of self-hexing. The days of the germ theory are over. Louis Pasteur pioneered this theory hundreds of years ago, when we all were neck deep into very scary diseases like smallpox, typhoid, tuberculosis, polio, and rheumatic fever. They have been eradicated almost totally and are fully curable. Today the big killers are none of the above, but different ones which are not caused by our friendly germs. Instead, we have cancer, diabetes, heart strokes, allergies, multiple sclerosis, mental sickness, obesity. These diseases are absolutely our doing.
THE NEW GERM - FREE RADICAL
This is the new “germ”. It is an oxygen atom that is missing an electron. This makes it hungry, ravenous, and will not stop till its thirst is satisfied and fulfilled. Therefore, it attacks the first neighbor to fill itself up and stabilize. The wrong foods we consume generate free radicals in our bodies. The only way out of this maze is to combat the enemy in its own game. The big game is ANTI OXIDANTS. Simply reverse the lifestyle and culinary choices. This way you ingest compatible foods which do not cause free radicals and the balance sheet is favorably tipped on the Antioxidants side. Remember, this is, life, ever renewing on autopilot. We make poor choices in our diets and lifestyles. No! We have no room for any choice. The market is flooded with poisonous ready to eat snacks and foods. Each package is more harmful than the next one, loaded with sugars, salts, artificial colors and dangerous preservatives. Even God cannot help you, if you continue to consume this trash day in, day out. Coke cola and Pepsi are not drinks but an acid wash. Even wine is ten times better than colas.
THE CULTURAL INFLUENCE
The power of suggestion, thought, culture, language, and core beliefs can bring about a self-fulfilling prophecy. It can work both ways, constructive way and destructive way. If you believe you can do, or you cannot do, you are right, in either case. So, get rid of all your limiting beliefs. Do not own them and defend them. When Tarrah believes that she deserves her sickness, because of her sins and guilt, she is very likely to have chronic diseases. The more she doctors her diseases, the sicker she gets. If a guest comes to the house, she will take the opportunity to discuss her sickness in detail with the guest. She is focusing on her disease, and it shall expand as per the cosmic laws. When problems do not yield to treatment, her suspicions are confirmed, the curse is justified and she deserves to suffer, SELF-HEXING.
IGNORANCE IS BLISS
On the other hand, Tanith from Africa could talk only in the BEAUTYWAY, because she thinks in the beauty way always. A pregnant Tanith refused to attend a prenatal clinic on purpose. She had a very strong reason for not going to that clinic. She did not want to be hexed by potential complications of pregnancy. She thinks in only a healthy way and then delivers the baby real fast and healthy without any problems.
When God made man at the beginning of stone age, there were no doctors, medicines or hospitals. So very intelligently HE placed the DOCTOR & THE MEDICINE inside us. Our ancestors had INNATE
wisdom, rarely fell sick, & devised effective & powerful home remedies for just in case times. They knew that the doctor is inside them as SPIRITUAL ENERGY & this body is the world’s best PHARMACY that has
no match. Every part of our body has great significance in our short lives & it is for us to grasp its implied meaning.
BROUGHT UP IN A STERILE / MEDICAL ENVIRONMENT
I was lucky again to have been left untouched and not poisoned by such baseless fatal beliefs. We were at liberty to form our own opinions about such common happenings
in the world around us. Nothing was ever forced upon our ignorant minds. My creative talents mushroomed very well in this environment. Since our dad was a professional doctor, all he instilled in us was the importance of washing
hands with soap thoroughly, before meals and keeping overall good hygiene. He would insist on soaking & washing fruit in potassium permanganate solution and then rinsing under running water, before consuming
them. It made good sense to wash up very well after returning home from the contaminated/infected clinic of his.
