There's something I observed in myself and others who are into loa, while they casually talk about things.
I call it mental discrimination.
And what's being discriminated is thoughts.
Appearantly people don't realize that ALL of your thoughts (the regular ones) are assumptions.
Like genuinely everything that's dominant in your mind.
Things aren't like that, you think they're like that.
For example, someone can casually think, or say or claim, "I'm bad at visualising." But that right there is an assumption, it doesn't HAVE to be that way.
Or "I'm bad at sports."
Again,
It doesn't HAVE to be that way.
Or "I can't eat that." "I can't do that."
And now that I'm writing this, I'm noticing that alot of it is limiting.
But limits are okay, it's a part of life.
You can keep it or get rid of it.
Here's why I think recognising this is important:
When you're consciously manifesting your desires, you can have thoughts like these about the way you're manifesting your desire.
Like assuming certain things (used for manifesting) are hard or difficult for you.
If you have something else that isn't difficult and that you can do. Then it's okay to assume that other methods are difficult for you.
And with other things in life besides manifesting.
Sometimes you're about to do something and you don't realize how much you're mentally limiting yourself because there are certain things we believe/assume and don't question.
You don't question "I'm horrible at volleyball", if you've been saying it your whole life.
So now when you want to go play volleyball, you're gonna allow yourself to repeat this assumption/thought in your mind.
And all because it's something that you didn't question.
And if you know about loa, you know that it's an assumption.
But there are certain things we allow because it's not relating to our desires.
If you're gonna volleyball just for today, just with your friends and it doesn't matter it's just casual you might allow that assumption to persist in your mind.
And if you're now deciding to all of a sudden pick up volleyball as a hobby, then you're going to attempt to change this assumption.
But otherwise you would've left it like that.
And that's completely okay.
I just think it's important to be aware, of the things we let slide, in our minds.
It's important to question everything in your mind.
Because sometimes thoughts assumptions and beliefs tangle, and sometimes,
one of those strands relates to your desire that you're manifesting, and it's also tied in the knot.
Like for example, "I'm horrible at volleyball" can be linked to "I'm bad at sports." to "I'm not athletic." to "I'm a loser." And "I'm a loser" is ultimately self concept. It doesn't have to link this way, but it's an example of how thoughts can link.
Sometimes this casual limit that you allow in your mind, or this casual assumption that doesn't really benefit you, that you let slide,
Sometimes it links to a belief or an assumption way deeper, that you actually should be concerned about.
That's why I suggest you to question everything that you casually say/believe/think about yourself and the world.
Dismantle it.
But only do this if it's something that's not good for you.
You don't have to instantly change it if you don't feel like you need to.
But definitely remind yourself:
hey it doesn't have to be that way.
"I don't have to be bad at golf, I'm thinking that I'm bad at golf, and I can think the opposite."
"Not all men are cheaters, I'm thinking that, it doesn't have to be true, there can be loyal men in the world."
"I don't have to be someone that uses my money irresponsibly, I'm thinking that I'm that person, I can be different and I can think differently."
It's basically realizing that your thoughts and assumptions are not absolutes and you should always check them, question them, navigate them.
What are these things that you casually tell yourself and you laugh it off, but it's something that doesn't benefit you?
What are these things that you casually think to yourself and believe, are they true or are you just used to thinking that?
Is it really true that everyone leaves you? Is it really true that you're not worthy of love?
Or are you just thinking that because of past emotional wounds ?
Dont worry too much about why you have certain negative or not very beneficial thoughts/assumptions.
Just question them and remind yourself that you don't HAVE to think that way.
You don't have to think a certain way and you can think another way about this thing that you're thinking of.
