Goal of video
In this video, we continue our mission towards becoming more trusting and optimistic about developing a new decision-making framework for our lives.
Anxiety’s (OCD’s) chief strategy is to create doubt in your mind and fear in your body (as what the mind conceives the body responds to).
It tricks you by unconsciously offering your conscious mind ‘duality stories’ which offer both positive and negative outcomes simultaneously, such as, it might work, but it may fail too, this duality response causes doubt, procrastination and the subsequent need for reassurance or avoidance.
To free yourself of this duality trap, which causes so much uncertainty, the Observer must become rooted in one single preference of outcome – though the outcome will always be unknowable (as it hasn’t happened yet).
So, this is where our belief systems come into play, they are the part of us that decides which option is more likely to be true based on the old stories/beliefs we have about ourselves.
As Henry Ford famously stated, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.”
So, as we build this new, non-dual decision-making framework, the starting point has to be, “What do you think happens when you die?”
Because either ‘poof’ it’s all gone, so what you do now is irrelevant (or an indulgent now experience) or does what you do in this life influence what comes in the next one?
It’s a big question!
But can you see how (if you can answer it) you have the starting point of a new belief system which is the antidote to the anxious mind’s duality stories?
The duality trap is conquered by you (the Observer) becoming rooted in a single preference of outcome (though the outcome will always be unknowable).
Therefore, our new (self-chosen) belief systems will guide our decision-making process (regardless of truth) or any unrequested scary egoistic unconscious thoughts to the contrary, which is why powerful beliefs and having clear intentions you desire are crucial to everything!
