Energetically Connected

In a way, we are energetically connected to each other. When we are energetically connected to toxic individuals who are benefiting from this connection, whether they be co-workers, family or friends, at times we are incapable of disconnecting this energetic cord(s) or moving away. The desire, will or ability is diminished to a degree that we are trapped and lack the ability to recognize the magnitude of the self-created bondage. While we are sovereign beings and are masters of our domain, we can and do unwittingly or knowingly (for exchange) enter into these relationships.

Belief Systems

Our belief system began to take shape shortly after our birth. The shaping starts with our parent-child relationship and expands to include our societal, cultural, and religious upbringing.

Consider our belief system as the operating system and we have adopted its programming as to acceptable actions and communication. The program guides us as we operate within the perceived operating system, and through conditioning, our responses arise from our belief system. Knowing the program’s limitations, we will be able to understand that these limitations are created by our view through our self-constructed lenses shaped by our adopted perceptions and expectations.

How thought patterns are created?

When we realize that our belief system is the underlying reason for our everyday decisions, we can take control and discard the thought process and break thought patterns in an effort to eradicate them. Consider our thought process moving like a stream and welcoming similar thoughts, which is how thought patterns are created.

Have you ever cut yourself and found yourself thinking about the unpleasant experience, and a few minutes later found yourself thinking about another completely unrelated and equally unpleasant experience, such as a confrontation that you anticipate having or have had with someone? That is how our thought process attracts similar thoughts, and then patterns are shaped. If we are aware enough, we can observe our thought and follow it to where it is creating patterns.

Our programming originates from childhood and a desire to unconsciously attract and perpetuate social and relationship dynamics to which we are bonded. The goal is to become aware of this phenomenon and remove the pattern and programming that are causing us to attract these toxic dynamics. We are powerful beings and our limitations, fears and doubt do not define us; know that they all are the limitations we have set for ourselves.
