Unshackling the Mind: How Beliefs Shape Our Freedom

For example, let's say I believe that I am a separate object, independent from everything that is here. Then I'm going to operate on the basis of that, aren't I? I want to make sure that nothing comes to hurt that separate me, or I'm going to, so I'm going to fight to protect the separate me, or I'm going to try and get things that give the separate me some kind of perceived happiness or pleasure, and that's all based on the limited or the misunderstanding of what me is, and I don't have access to real deep satisfaction because my awareness is not open to that.
Ever wondered how your beliefs could be holding you back? In this episode of 'Addiction to Freedom', Michael Gregory dives deep into the power of beliefs and their role in addiction and personal freedom. Michael kicks things off by breaking down how our beliefs are formed and the pivotal role they play in our lives, especially when it comes to addiction.
He introduces the concept of root beliefs and explains how these core ideas can either serve us or trap us, depending on whether they're true or false. But it doesn't stop there. Michael sheds light on the importance of being aware of and accepting these beliefs to break free from their grip. He discusses how our experiences and powerful emotions shape our beliefs, often without us even realizing it.
The conversation then shifts to the ego and its limitations, showing how identifying too closely with our ego can lead to a restricted and ultimately unsatisfying life. By the end of the episode, Michael leaves listeners with a compelling challenge: to examine their own beliefs and question whether they are helping or hindering their freedom. If you're ready to unshackle your mind and step into a more liberated life, this episode is a must-listen.
