Beliefs

Story time again.

Growing up in a religious community, I was taught that life should be lived through pain and suffering because that's what Jesus did.

Without realizing it, I turned that belief into a way of living.

Whenever happiness appeared, I felt uncomfortable with it. When money flowed, I found ways to return to scarcity. When love was offered, I questioned it, sabotaged it, or pushed it away.

Looking back, I can see that I was simply living from the assumptions I had accepted as true.

But when I started reading the Bible for myself, I noticed something interesting.

Most of Jesus' life wasn't about suffering. It was about challenging beliefs, healing people, teaching faith, and showing others what was possible. He repeatedly told people that they could do what he did and even greater things.

Neville Goddard taught that the Bible is a psychological drama unfolding within us. From that perspective, Jesus represents the awakened awareness of who we really are.

So what if the lesson was never to glorify suffering?

What if the lesson was to question the beliefs that keep us attached to it?

Many of the limitations people live with today aren't facts. They're inherited assumptions that were never examined.

The moment I started questioning mine, my life began to change.
