Albert Einstein profoundly stated, “The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” It is not until we understand our limited thinking that we can choose to alter it and change ourselves.
Everything we experience in life is recorded by our body/mind. Like computers with complex processing systems, our bodies contain all the facets of our individual perceptions, including a full knowledge of our divine identity. Our personal body computer may change daily as new information is put in and outdated information is replaced by new understanding. Alternatively, our personal body computer may rarely change: running and re-running old data over and over again. As we strive to improve the quality of our individual circumstances, understanding our whole body/mind is vital. If we want to change our state of affairs (such as our health, relationships, financial situations, or career direction), the only way we can do that is by gaining new understandings and expanding our awareness. By becoming alert to our perceptions—both consciously and subconsciously—we become more capable of changing our thought processes so that we can better create what it is that we want.
When we make decisions about others and ourselves and we lock these perceptions into our body/mind computer. Our system begins to filter our experiences through the beliefs and feelings we have stored. Deciding that we are unworthy or not good enough begins a cycle of repetition. We begin to see all circumstances through a tinted lens, blocking out other views of reality that may exist simultaneously. Here is a visual example of this concept. When you buy a new car, you become familiar with a new model and color of a vehicle and from that point on you notice cars like yours when you are driving. You may never before have noticed a car like your new one, but, from the point of purchase on, even after you sell the car, you still notice that color and body type on the road. So it is with each of us in our lives. When we have experiences that lead us to make decisions about our lives or ourselves, we unconsciously go out into the world and notice all other experiences that validate what we believe to be true.
