"Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible. This power becomes available to you just as soon as you can change your beliefs."

Years ago, as I read the "Seth Material" by Jane Roberts, Seth, the channeled entity who spoke through Jane, advised readers to change limiting beliefs in order to create a more expansive reality in this lifetime.

I remember my family and friends discussing our various beliefs and how to change our reality for the better.

We had discussion groups and explored beliefs, dreams and responsibility.

We called one another on the phone to discuss our daily challenges with these concepts.

And I look back on these moments of connection as a great awakening.

Nowadays, I am reflecting on ways to take what we did back in the 1970's to a new level of achievement.

In order to purge destructive core negative beliefs, they must first be recognized, blessed and released.

Limiting beliefs about money is a great place to begin.

Money is energy and likes it if we like it, just like everything and everyone else in the universe.

Mandy Evans has collected some classic negative beliefs about money, as presented in Dr. Joe Vitale's "The greatest Money Making Secret Of All Time."

4. There isn't enough money to go around.

5. If I have a little more than enough to get by, someone else will go without.

6. If I have alot more than I need to get by, lots of people will have to go without.

7. It is better to take less, than be resonsible for someone else's hardship.

36. I always rent; owning a house would be too scary.

43. If I get paid alot, people will think I am a fraud.

44. Everybody wants more; when it comes to money, less is better.

45. There's someone else in side me that spends all my money.

Money is a great place to explore limiting core beliefs because it has button pushing potential.

People really believe the above (and more) statements, and see these as absolute reality, instead as beliefs. When seen for what they are, these beliefs can be changed.

You will be liberated, as a result.
