What you believe is the crucial aspect that determines your physical experience of life.
Definition: Core beliefs are those things you just know and trust to be true – they serve us as an internal ‘guide to life’ – telling us how to behave and react to the world.
|
Whether you are aware of it or not, you, along with your life purpose, unconsciously create your life, your reality, and your personal responses to all events – via your memories, perceptions, and core beliefs. Whatever happens, and how you respond to it, does come from within you.
Outside people and events may trigger a response or re-action, however your responses and actions originate from inside you, even though the process is currently hidden from your awareness.
In order to take control of our lives; we need to go beyond merely intellectualizing theories about core beliefs – and access and modify the core beliefs that are creating our life events, at their source in our unconscious mind.
The key to altering your core beliefs, and therefore your life experiences, is to access and modify them directly in the unconscious mind – This is what Greene’s Release specializes in.
The Greene’s Release workbooks bring this process into your everyday awareness, allowing you to experience your own core beliefs first hand.
Core beliefs are no longer a complicated intellectual theory, but a concept to experience.
The following overview of core beliefs represents the understanding you will automatically have – not because you were told to believe it, or via intellectual examination, but as a result of your own knowledge that comes from real, physical experience. You will discover that core beliefs are not complicated at all, but instead simple, and extremely easy to access and modify.

Your core beliefs dictate the life you live.
Because a child’s role is to learn how to live as a human being, we used all that we saw, heard and experienced to form a set of core beliefs about who and what we are, the world and our place in it.
These beliefs were not chosen, but instead reflect the conclusions that a child reached about their particular experiences from their limited perception.
Your core beliefs are neither dysfunctional nor skewed. They are valid conclusions that were reached by a child, from that child’s current perception of an experience at that time. It is, however, inappropriate and often dysfunctional to filter your entire adult experience according to the life rules of an 8 year old.

Children are egocentric; they do not possess the ability to understand that their family circumstances are not their fault.
Young children believe everything is their fault: abuse, neglect, financial difficulties, or even parent’s relationship problems. If there are any family issues, children believe it is their fault, and that they are bad or inferior in some way because of it.
Every family has problems, as there is no perfect parent. Therefore, all children develop mistaken core beliefs about themselves, the world and their place in it. “Mistaken core beliefs cause a multitude of psychological, emotional and relational issues.”
A practical example of this idea might be how you interpret and integrate an experience like the divorce of your parents. This event may lead you to conclude “it is my fault“, therefore create the belief “I am a bad person and do not deserve good things.” You may develop a tendency to punish yourself and sabotage your success without any idea that you are doing so.

Many children and adults encounter horrific life experiences (neglect, abuse, assault, death of a loved one, and natural disasters for example). These experiences are stored within the subconscious, along with the expected emotional responses, perceptions and conclusions (core beliefs) about life that accompany them, and affect the base formation of a child’s personality, self concepts and future life experience.
Although I consider these types of tragic events as life purpose experiences, how or why they occurred is completely irrelevant at this point. The important thing is for all victims to realize that they can free themselves of this burden and pain that they carry inside, and its implications on their quality of life.
Should they go onto reach a higher level of conscious living, then they will be ready and able to formulate their own understanding of the event should they wish to. This component has no relevance in the complete healing that is possible.

You live what you believe. And that is where the confusion begins. “Do I believe that there is insufficient money because I am poor,” or “Am I poor because I believe there is insufficient money?”
And yet, my neighbor who believes “there is plenty of money” actually has plenty of money.
Which belief is the correct one?
The answer is both…..
Every person lives the core beliefs that they formed as a child. It is impossible to live anything else as they are your rules of life – your truth.
If you believe that no-one can love you, it is impossible to be surrounded by people who love you. If you believe that you are a failure, it is impossible to be successful. If you believe the world is a scary place, then it is impossible for you to feel safe, no matter where you are.
Why?
Your core beliefs are not stagnant ideas that merely sit in your unconscious mind. They are active, and play an important role in your everyday thoughts, feelings, actions and reactions to people and events.
- A person who believes that they are a failure (remember that this is an unconscious belief therefore beyond their awareness), constantly hears mind chatter to support this idea “you can’t do it right”, “you are hopeless”, “you aren’t good enough.”
- They feel the emotional response whenever they hear this ‘so called truth.’ It would be very sad to think that you are a failure.
- Their perceptions make them blind to success, and they miss opportunity after opportunity – all they can see is failure and hardship.
- They play the role of a failure personality (without any idea that they are doing so) – expecting the worst, irresponsible with money, ignoring their finances and financial responsibility, business failure, engaging in self-defeating behaviors.
This person physically lives their core belief that they are a failure.
You can get a glimpse of your own core beliefs by taking a snapshot of your life, and then decide if this life makes you happy, or if you would like to see if there is another way to live. It is, after all, your choice entirely.

Core beliefs were only meant to be temporary – to be used until we were mature enough to decide what to believe for ourselves.
We cleverly set ourselves up to realize this. At some point everyone gets sick of living with the hardship their beliefs create (even thought they are unaware of this), and screams out “enough!”, and then begins the search for answers.

The secret to mastering your life is to accept (even the possibility, until you experience it firsthand – then you will ‘know’) that beliefs form your experiences.
Any experience that is not good, can in fact, lead you to walk right into your unconscious mind, where you can modify the belief, and automatically have an entirely different experience.
The only way to change core beliefs it to access them directly in the unconscious mind.
Important Core Belief Principle 7
There is an abundance of intellectual literature about life, the unconscious mind, core beliefs, and how to change them – from the perspective of our rational thinking mind.
- It makes rational sense to investigate and identify your core beliefs.
- It makes rational sense to watch for the interaction and impact that your core beliefs have.
- It makes rational sense to decide to ‘let go’ of dysfunctional beliefs once they are identified.
- It makes rational sense that thoughts and core beliefs are the same.
- It makes rational sense to consciously ‘tell’ yourself to believe something different.
Yet core beliefs reside beyond our conscious awareness – in the unconscious mind. Our logical mind can only investigate and modify their symptoms, and not the actual core belief.
We have become very good at working with these symptoms to temporarily silence and repress their impact. People often think that ‘feeling better’ in the moment means that their core beliefs have been altered or released when this is not the case.

Often, those who have worked to ‘release’ their emotional wounds, are surprised to discover that these emotions (which have merely been tucked away and not released, as many techniques claim to do) are still creating havoc in their daily life and can resurface with the same level of strength and distress at any time.
There are 6 ways to confirm access to your unconscious mind, and successful modification of a core belief.
- To discover the feelings of the child you were at the time when the core belief was originally formed – from that child’s age perspective. It will seem unreasonable to your now adult perception.
- The information you are privy to is new information that you were completely unaware of – as it was previously hidden.
- This new information will clarify many things about yourself. You will feel compassion as you understand why you do the things you condemn yourself for doing – and understand yourself for the first time.
- You will experience an epiphany as a new opposite core belief replaces the previously skewed one. You will view every experience differently, as if from a new person’s perspective.
- When you think about the original incident, you will feel blank or empty – as if there is nothing to think about.
- As the event has been neutralized, there is no longer anything to trigger an emotional response. You will never feel anything about this event ever again.
Important Core Belief Principle 9
You cannot choose what you want to believe! This is a fallacy that you can easily disprove by trying it for yourself.
You can and do however, continually incorporate new core beliefs each time you jump to a conclusion – which is still based on your childish perceptions and core beliefs. So be careful when you hear yourself saying “if he loved me he would know what I want”, or “this proves that she doesn’t love me.” If this is not the reality you wish to physically live, deliberately stop yourself from jumping to conclusions that are in any way negative.
Your affirmations or manifesting efforts are not successful because you are trying to ‘consciously tell your unconscious mind to believe something’ when that is impossible.
The new core beliefs that you create during the Greene’s Release process come as epiphanies, from your inner self – they are your core truths and always the exact opposite of the initial core belief.
Important Core Belief Principle 10
The unconscious mind is nothing like we thought. And that has been the problem all along – thinking and rationalizing.
While the conscious mind thinks and rationalizes, the unconscious mind feels, which is the key to gaining access to our core beliefs, fears, memories and storehouse of emotions that create our everyday life experiences.
The difference between intellectualizing core beliefs and experiencing them first hand in the unconscious mind is like night and day. However, it cannot make rational sense until experienced.
Think of a scientist, spending day after day investigating the cells of a human brain under an electronic microscope. Carefully analyzing each minute neuron and glial cell.
Now remember the 1966 movie Fantastic Voyage, where a scientist was miniaturized and injected into a human body. He traveled through the heart and had to overcome the risk of being destroyed by the valves, was violently shaken when the lab technicians voices vibrated through the inner ear, and replenished his submarines oxygen supply directly from the alveoli of the lungs. What an amazing adventure!
|
The difference between rationalizing and experiencing core beliefs is just as dramatic as these two examples. Just as the scientist with the microscope cannot begin to comprehend or even imagine the miniaturized scientist’s experience unless he personally experienced it, you cannot comprehend the experience of walking into your unconscious mind until you experience it for yourself.
The Greene’s Release workbook materials speed up the process of changing core beliefs because they walk you through the steps to access your unconscious storehouse of beliefs, then heal and rewrite them, step-by-step. You will be amazed at just how easy it actually is.
