Others have been confused. They think that they no longer believe in anything that might support distressing conditions, that because they tell themselves such things don't (even that they can't) exist, they have reason to expect that they won't happen to them.
Sadly, though, even when we clear out the surface thoughts, there are often other layers to deal with.
The mental structure that supports our circumstances and conditions is composed of several layers:
- the belief that the condition is possible
- the belief that the condition is a logical outcome of some experience
- the thoughts that we were taught that allow us to believe that
- the feeling experiences that are associated with those experiences, thoughts, and beliefs
- the life-decisions that made it possible to accept those thoughts
- the fundamental beliefs we've accepted about who and what humans are and how the world works that shape all our experience
Then we will be the light - and experience only love! :)
