Back to Basics (V) Fresh or Frozen?
Dinner Bell
Is it dinner time again? It's the same decision every night; do we thaw out something from the freezer or whip up something fresh from the fridge and/or cupboards? If you are like me, the thought of facing your freezer may cause you to break out in a small sweat of trepidation. Of course the choice of entree you want will be on the bottom of the pile. Too bad you don't set yourself up for success by grabbing some gloves to ease the frostbite from your fingers. Alas you find your buried treasure and now the decision to just throw everything back or take the time to rearrange the freezer arises. Usually the throwback option is followed and now the creativity can begin.
Which one will I choose?
Picking a core belief can happen in a similar fashion. When we are born, we enter the world as a blob of emotional goo; no form or definition. Slowly introductions to uncomfortable situations arise and we express our displeasure. Enter in our parents who clearly have no instructional manual on who we are as people. Most try to meet our needs but the moment comes when they don't. What happens next is what causes all our problems. We take the feeling of displeasure that we experience and try to make sense of it:
- They don't love me
- They don't want me
- People don't keep their promises
- I can't do anything right
Children learn what they live and you would think that all children would be mini versions of their parents; that isn't the case. Often a parent is plagued by a different core belief than their child. That happened in my case for my dad had the same core belief that I did whereas my mom had the core belief of feeling unwanted. My brother was the odd man out for he truly believed he was human garbage and struggled with feeling worth. So how could my brother have a different core belief than anyone in the family? I believe this is where genetic memory comes into play.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed. Core beliefs contain a very powerful amount of emotional energy that doesn't disappear in death. While we live our thoughts and corresponding emotions affect every cell in our body. Back in the 1990's Dr. Masaru Emoto performed an array of water experiments to prove how thoughts can affect the structure of the substance. The results were remarkable; positive words produces beautiful symetric shapes and negative words produced ugly chaotic shapes. These thoughts are stored in our DNA and are passed down from generation to generation. So when the time comes to evaluate the feelings of displeasure as a child we have all four core beliefs to choose from. This explains how even twins, who experience the same traumatic event, can adopt different core beliefs. That may be true but is that all that's passed down? No and we will discuss more of that tomorrow.
