Tacit attitudes toward beliefs are necessary, especially when a child is young. However, there is no reason for a person to be bound by the beliefs or experiences of childhood.
You are born free, nothing can bind you, emotions do not work, experience does not work, family does not work, the environment does not work, you should become yourself, slowly rising from the emotional tone of yourself.
In the life of substance, your conscious mind is mainly based on the brain function of your substance. Whether you are inside or outside the flesh, you have a conscious mind. But when you are oriented towards the life of the substance, the conscious mind must be connected to the real brain.
In a way, the mind keeps your mind in focus in a three-dimensional space, positioning you in the environment in which you must operate. And it's because the mind is so loyal to the physical brain that, for example, you perceive time as a series of "moments."
Your brain communicates the information that your mind receives to your body structure, so that your experience is substantially filtered before it automatically becomes something that you can understand organically.
In essence, when you are human, most of your mind depends on the growth and activity of your mind. There are some materials that must be known to sustain life, and must be taught to the child by the parents, passed on to the child.
You have some basic assumptions that are born with generality, but since the circumstances of each of you are so different, these basics of you must be implemented with practical considerations. Therefore, it is necessary for children to accept the beliefs of their parents.
The practice of "learning from parents" strengthens family cohesion, and when children need protection, then this acquiescence in parental beliefs is extremely important during the early infant's development into childhood. Sharing common concepts in this way not only protects new offspring from the obvious dangers seen by their parents, but also provides a framework in which children can grow up.
This structure provides room for the child to grow until his conscious mind is able to reason on its own and has its own value judgments. I'll go on to the larger level of the origin of the concept, but for now I'll leave it to you only for a lifetime as you know it.
Therefore, the beliefs you accept are your parents' view of the nature of reality. Through example, conversation, and constant telepathic reinforcement, you accept these beliefs.
They include a general concept of the world, and a concept of your relationship with the world, and the idea that you inherit from them the idea of what I am. Your view of your own world is a concept inherited from your parents.
Yet, beneath all these superficial concepts, you still carry indelibly within you your knowledge of your own being and identity, your meaning and purpose, but in the early days of your growth, they are careful not to disconnect you from material existence.
You receive these guiding beliefs from your parents that lead you in directions where they feel safe. Under the patronage of these beliefs, the child can be safe, satisfy his curiosity, develop his abilities, and devote all his energies to the clearly defined scope of activity.
Therefore, this attitude of tacit acceptance of belief is very necessary, especially when a child is young. However, there is no reason for a person to be bound by the beliefs or experiences of childhood.
The essence of some beliefs is that while you can see that some beliefs seem obviously harmful, other beliefs connected to them you may not be able to understand so easily.
For example, you may think you're stupid enough to believe in the existence of so-called original sin. But it's not so easy to see that many of your present actions are caused by belief in the guilt of original sin. We will have many things to say about how your beliefs and beliefs are connected to each other, simply because you are not used to testing beliefs.
You may say, "I'm too heavy because I'm guilty of something from the past." You may thus try to find out what the influential event is, but in such a case, your problem is actually a belief in sin itself.
You don't need to carry such a belief. I am well aware that an important element of your civilization is based on the concept of "sin and punishment." Many people are afraid that without guilt, people will have no inner discipline, and the world will be in chaos. In fact, the world is chaotic enough right now— not because you don't have a concept of sin and punishment, but mainly because you have a concept of guilt and punishment. But we'll explain this later in this book.
The early concepts your parents gave you, then, built your learning experience itself. They set safe boundaries within which the childlike you can operate. Before you know it—because your mind, connected to your mind, has not yet developed so well—your imagination is fixed along certain lines.
By and large, but not entirely, your imagination follows belief, and so do your emotions, which have some kind of general thinking. When a child is injured, he cries, and when he is not in pain, he does not cry, and the emotions that exist after this crying automatically turn into another. But if the child finds that he is still crying after the incident, and the adults will give him special attention, then he begins to continue that emotion.
From the earliest days of a child, he compares his interpretation of reality with what his parents think, and since they are taller and stronger than him and able to meet so many of his needs, he naturally tries to make his experience consistent with their expectations and beliefs. Although, when a child is injured, he will cry or feel sad, which is generally a fairly natural thing. But this tendency can be extended through belief to such an extent that "feelings of long loneliness and desolation" are adopted as explicit patterns of behavior.
Behind this lies the belief that "any harm is inevitable a disaster." Such a belief can arise from, for example, an overly worried mother, and if such a mother's imagination follows her belief, then she will immediately see an insignificant potential danger to her child. In this case, the child receives such a message through the mother's actions and through telepathy with her, and responds according to the tacit beliefs.
Many of these beliefs are hidden in consciousness, but an adult who is not in the habit of examining his own beliefs may not know that he has such beliefs in his heart. The belief itself is not buried, nor is it impossible for you to know, it is simply not plucked out.
So, one of the most pernicious beliefs is that clues to your current behavior have been buried and are usually not found. This belief in itself is enough to shut you off from the connotations of your own conscious mind and prevent you from searching there for answers that could have been found.
