PREDICTION BELIEFS ‘Prediction beliefs’ are the forecasters of our future. Depending largely upon our Core and Base beliefs, these predictions can create for us a wonderful or a dreadful life. Although consciously we might fantasize/dream/imagine a future filled with love, happiness and wealth, our buried negative beliefs continually undermine our ‘positive predictions’. Often, even when we do achieve a measure of success, we can sabotage it or live in fear of losing it all. Examples of this are people that build successful businesses and then somehow ‘lose’ them, or those who win fortunes in the Lottery and are broke within a short time. This is insidious subconscious negative programming at work. If we have say, the Prediction Belief, “I am scared I will end up with nothing”, we will live in fear of ending up with nothing. If we have the Prediction Belief, “I always end up with nothing” or “I deserve nothing”, we will end up with nothing. We cannot help it, whatever we believe will come true in reality. Think about when planning a barbecue - we imagine it pouring with rain. Think about the negative outcome of being late for a very important meeting or being called into the boss’s office. Think about all the disasters that might happen on our Wedding Day, or imagining that we have cancer when we see a mole on our skin. All these negative predictions are the self-sabotaging beliefs that stop us achieving what we deserve. Think about the times when we want to do something that we feel passionate about. We ‘imagine’ ourselves running a marathon, climbing a mountain, becoming a Doctor, or in a wonderful relationship. We can visualize our dream in all its glorious detail, we see the crowds cheering us on and visualize ourselves breaking the tape when we come first in the Marathon. We picture ourselves painstakingly, agonizingly hacking our way through the snow and ice; we can even ‘see’ the news-paper articles proclaiming that we reached the top of Mt. Everest. We see ourselves winning a Nobel Prize for pioneering a new cancer cure, and we see ourselves with a loving, caring and gentle partner who fulfills all our needs, and with whom we will grow old. All these things we dream, but how many of us actually realise our dreams? How many times do we start something only to give up at the first hurdle because we believe it is ‘too hard’, ‘it’s impossible’, that we’re not ‘smart enough’ or we ‘can’t afford it’ So we give up and go back to our familiar scripts and continue to berate ourselves for being ‘losers’, ‘worthless’, or we’re ‘just not good enough’. Reflect upon the thousands of dollars we have spent on unused gym and club memberships, golf clubs, scuba, climbing and gym equipment, photographic gear, and fishing rods that are still sitting in our closets waiting to be used, mocking us with our failure and our laziness. Consider the hours we have spent attending courses that we dropped out of, the switches we have made from one university course to another and finally giving up. Think about the broken relationships, the financial hardships, the sickness and stress, the struggle to just get by. All these are examples of our negative beliefs sabotaging us. We predict outcomes based on our past experiences and very often the memories of these past experiences are flawed. As old reel to reel films are viewed we remember our past through the eyes of the child, and often as children, we imagined things about ourselves and the world that were based on incorrect or biased information. By using the Negative Belief Removal Process we can eliminate these insidious predictions that stop us from achieving or having what we deserve. |
