DWQA QuestionsCategory: Subconscious Mind“A belief is a belief is a belief,” or is it? Obviously, beliefs vary in the strength in which they are held, some hardly at all and others emphatically. One would have a tendency to think that the strength of the belief is a factor of the intensity of the “founding event” that gave birth to the belief, and that therefore the strength of belief is directly correlated to direct experience. But even so, many people seem to end up with emphatic beliefs that appear to have no basis in reality whatsoever, either experiential or rationally hypothetical. What can Creator tell us about the origins of such beliefs and what determines their strength and durability?

This perplexing lack of understanding about something so basic and important about a person as their inner beliefs, even from their own perspective, knowledge base, and memory, is very, very revealing about the human dilemma. This is a cardinal sign of disconnection. What is going on could be one of several things. The belief held strongly, but surprisingly, because it does not seem to have a predicate in life experience, may well be coming from a parallel lifetime and, by virtue of the awareness of the deep subconscious that an individual is experiencing other lifetimes, which the deep subconscious can survey and react to if bad things happen in particular, will mean that things can bleed through into the current life just as though they have been experienced because, literally and truthfully, they have been, if not by that portion of the person's soul energy experiencing the current incarnation. This is complicated to understand and accept, but when you are asking us to explain the unexplainable you can expect there will be new information, new insight, and new circumstances that must be invoked to fill the knowledge gap. Such beliefs coming from parallel lives can as well become reawakened by similar events in the current life of a milder nature and they can also become lodged within cellular memory, within the brain, because it can store, in local awareness at a cellular level, memory of trauma as well as specific beliefs about what has happened heretofore. The crosstalk with other parallel lives can be a rich source of additional complexity within a person, and this will be an important influence on their makeup, their thoughts, feelings, and actions, depending on the flow of experience from moment to moment that might awaken bits of memory about bad experiences or simply trigger an emotion and then an accompanying negative belief that comes to mind. This can be the source of general biases and prejudice if it is only an association not based on literal reality of the current incarnation. This is where much racial bias and gender bias and other sources of prejudiced thinking arise because there can be parallels with similar circumstances in other lifetimes that will bleed through into the current incarnation from the experiencing of the deep subconscious, in particular, and its contributions to dream material that will spread to more than one level of the mind. So there is a complex interplay of life experience and its consequences in becoming amplified, through a kind of harmonic resonance with similar circumstances experienced elsewhere, that will come to mind on some level, and then that synchronicity may be shared with other levels of the mind, and this will be self-reinforcing and may result in a quite strong and even exaggerated overreaction to something and make a person act like they have been harmed before even with no conscious recollection. The reality, of course, is that it is actually so but not consciously perceived, and this is why the disconnect with the deep subconscious becomes a dilemma, because it leaves the largest part of the mind disconnected from conscious awareness so a person will not truly understand their whole being, because they are not experiencing the totality of all that happens, being out of the loop, so to speak. So this explains unusual beliefs that turn up without seeming to have a foundational event for their creation that can be recalled.
