An absolute, essential law, The Law of Belief is often misunderstood by most people; therefore, they use it incorrectly. Most people will tell us to believe in ourselves when we are beginning a creation. This creation could be losing weight, starting a new business, changing jobs, handling difficulties in your relationships, etc. However, to create anything requires an outflow of energy, not an inflow. Thus, the energy of our belief must flow outward, not inward. Therefore, when we try to build a new business, the creation requires that we believe in the business, and we believe the business will create. We must project our energy in toward the business, because it is not here yet. It is what we want to create.

We can find the outward flow of energy within the mental imagery that we project so the space of potential can be filled with the energy (beliefs) to create the business into our physical reality. We are the effect that causes all. We are already here. We are already participating and doing. To believe in ourselves means we project the energy of belief into a space of potential that will be the new self. There is no sense in this, because we are already here. Instead, we should project that energy of belief into what we want to create. Therefore, to create something new requires an outflow of energy into what we want to create into existence, not an inflow of energy into ourselves.

Many self-help seminars and motivational speakers fall into this misconception about how creation works. The ideas and immediate effects of these programs are great. We are motivated and ready to go; however, one to three days after the seminar, we forget what motivated us. One of the major problems with this approach is that we are taught to believe in “ourselves” in order to create something that we want. Adding to that, most people also fail to mention what our “self” is! We would first have to know completely and definably what “self” is before we could believe in it. The consciousness that shows stems from the beliefs we hold.

The Initiate Course has effective experiential procedures for dealing with beliefs and the mental constructions of consciousness in which beliefs cause us to participate.
