6. Life Statements and Limiting Beliefs

Veils to the Soul

What are Life Statements and Limiting Beliefs?
One model depicts Statements and Beliefs as a tree, with a trunk formed from one of two positions: 'I'm bad', or 'I'm worthless/not-good-enough'. Branches and twigs coming off this trunk are typically formed by ingesting and crystallizing some Family Beliefs, by self-directed creative cognitions, and/or by pressures from society and culture.
As with other aspects of early-life psychology, this structure can have far greater impact than current mainstream science allows. E.g., if inaccurate and limiting statements are pushed into 'the causal mind', they don't just govern how we react to or process events (as mainstream science can allow for). They can govern or influence the very life-events we create!
The Belief that Originates All Limits!
As previous Episodes discuss, the Veils approach identifies twocausal components for human suffering: a pre-birth Cosmic Glitch* (also prior to the birth of the Universe!), and an in-life Primal Wound - the definitive incarnational 'landing' of the Glitch.
Traditional treatments discuss limiting beliefs only relative to the Wound and incarnational-local events (perhaps including conception, gestation and birth - but only of the child, not of the Universe!) The Veils approach points out the belief that's the source of all limits, a belief predating the Universe itself: 'It's a good idea for a Soul to try to be self-creating'!
Veils' Unique Treatment of Matter's Life Statements
A powerful and unique feature of the Veils framework treats the material Universe as a repackaging of guilt, fear, fury, grief etc, originating in the Great AS/IF*. This frame makes it meaningful to speak about Life Statements and Limiting Beliefs of matter itself, a construct which no other approach can support (to our knowledge!).
The densest, darkest Life Statement is 'suffering and separation go on forever' - in fact the very origin of the matter-field's density and mass.
Matter's Life Statements Can Diffuse into Psyche
Psyche can be thought of as a bubble with a membrane protecting it from matter's darkest density. But this membrane can become permeable. 'Suffering is forever' can then pour into psyche. We discuss the cases of chronic refractory depression, and drug-induced psychosis.
How are Life Statements and Limiting Beliefs Healed/Released?
What's required for the release of limiting beliefs?

1. An intention to change must be evoked - curiosity, or crisis!
2. Something responds to this intention!
3. That 'something' uses 'various' mechanisms in consciousness!
4. Once change has begun, the mind seeks a new congruence, and various mechanisms - for example, tapping, affirmations etc. - can support unfolding and integration of new equilibrium.

The 'something' and its 'various' mechanisms (2+3 above) depend on domain:

• Psychologically: a separated mind-bubble can see the untruth, e.g. of 'I still have to think like a kid'!
• Psycho-spiritually: that same mind-bubble can't see the untruth of its own separation - it needs the help of the ARC*!
