Beliefs Are Dangerous!
"Belief is an ego function, and as long as your origin is open to believe at all, you are regarding it from an ego viewpoint." Urtex.T-4.III:28
The reason is because beliefs are dual. Truth simply is. Anything we believe has an opposite, therefore cannot be true. Many spiritual teachers and therapist attempt to change a belief for another, suggesting it will provide lasting positive changes. In truth, that cannot be because, although a seeming more pleasant change may take place, temporarily I may add, the nature of a world that is dual will bring about the opposite of that experience sooner or later.
The ego will project another illusion (belief) that will need correction, therefore we will spend the rest of our lives correcting one thing after another. Offering our thoughts to the Holy Spirit for reinterpretation will get us out of that roller-coaster of beliefs into the place of complete surrender and peace, accepting things just as they are, therefore no longer being at the effect of illusions (beliefs).
With time, the practice becomes easier, but at first it is very difficult because each belief accompany a physical emotion, and that emotion is what the ego employs in order to make us believe that who we are is a body. As we learn to surrender everything to the Holy Spirit, although at times the emotions may still be present, the healing takes place rather quickly.
Also there is no suffering at all. Not confusing suffering with pain, suffering has to do with resisting what is. However, when a mind is healed, there is no physical pain either for the body is neutral; it cannot feel anything. All the body does is, respond to the present state of the mind.
