Change Your Beliefs to Be a Better Person in Life

SEPTEMBER 5, 2014

Question: I have some questions about beliefs. Can you explain “massive” beliefs and give examples. Are they what we call core beliefs?

Answer: A massive belief is like “No one is going to tell me what to do,” that is pervasive in a person’s life. I think a belief is a belief. “Massive” might have been my quirky way of using an adjective to emphasize strongly motivated problematic beliefs (see 8.7). Core beliefs are any highly motivated beliefs that play a significant role in a person’s life.

Question: I remember you said they are massively motivated by emotions. How are they created?

Answer: Massive motivation means strongly motivated. Painful experiences, big or significant trauma, or constant verbal abuse, associated with forming a belief, becomes strong motivation for the belief. The painful experience associates with the belief to make it a strong belief.

Question: In your experience how many types of beliefs did you encounter: simple, massive, and other problematic beliefs?

Answer: When I have a belief to treat, I problem-solve to determine the structure of the belief. They turned out to be one of the following: a simple memory, a layered memory, a stacked memory, a predisposition, a stacked predisposition, or a belief structure, each with or without intruding souls. Once you identify the structure of the belief, the subconscious can easily clear the barriers and treat the belief. Problem-solving is a basic intervention in Process Healing to determine the barrier structure of a problematic issue that resists treatment.

The crossed objects in the picture represent memory structures. It is a metaphor that makes it easier to talk about memory neurophysiology or field structures that are the actual structures in our physiology. There is a distinction between attached with vs. attached to the memory structure. All issues involve unique memory structures. Beliefs and emotions, as all behaviors, attach with the memory structure. Normally it is easy to treat a belief memory structure by replacing the emotions associated to the belief structure. Without motivation, the emotions, the belief changes from true to not true, and therefore, is no longer a problem. But when a fragment of the subconscious or another memory structure attaches to the memory structure, the structure cannot be treated. You have to have the subconscious treat and remove the memory structure attached to the memory structure before treating it.

See Fig. 8.3 and 8.4 in section on Layered Memories (Flint, 2006). This section includes treating belief structures. “Having a picture about how it should be” is also a problem similar to a belief (see 8.8). Once identified, it is usually easy to change by treating it.

Personality traits are relevant as barriers to self-development (see 8.9).
