THE SPHERE OF BELIEF

AFFIRMATIONS - Today I believe _____________.

Fill in the blank with what you believe for today. It can be anything you already believe or want to believe. You may use this same affirmation day after day for twenty-one days if you want to make it a permanent part of your daily consciousness. Or you may devise a new affirmation each day. When you have an affirmation that you really want to manifest in your life, it usually does take twenty-one days to make it a part of your consciousness.

Make a list of your prejudices. We all have some. Our prejudices are things we do not like because we have a false belief about those things. To be rid of our prejudices requires us to change our beliefs. This is easier said than done, but affirmations and spiritual alchemy both help a great deal.

ALCHEMY - The third step in Spiritual Alchemy is to decide what you want to change about your beliefs to become the person you want to be. This step is called the Step of Believing. As you know, you can only accomplish what you believe you can actually accomplish.

We recommend you write what you want to believe out word for word and repeat it as an affirmation daily for at least twenty-one days. Then we suggest you try the free lessons offered by The Alchemy Fellowship and the Path of the Healing Dragon.

ASTROLOGY - The Sphere of Belief is represented by the Planet Saturn. Ancient astronomers and astrologers studied Saturn and learned it was the slowest moving of the visible planets. They also observed that as Saturn moved among the stars and constellations it appeared to offer challenges to that facet of life controlled by those stars and constellations. Thus they considered Saturn to be the Great Teacher because we only learn through conflict and challenge. Where Saturn is describes what we are learning now.

We will speak more of astrology toward the end of this course on the Tree of Life after all of the basic parts of astrology have been revealed.

OUR BODY - The Sphere of Belief is located on the right side of our head. It is that part of our mind controlling our right brain. It is also the right side of our face and it reflects our beliefs about ourselves, others and all things including even life.

CREATION STEP - The third step in changing ourselves or creating anything is the belief that we can. Lacking this belief we cannot do what we intend to do. If we believe, we have the potential for doing exactly what we want to do. If you cannot believe in yourself, you must first change your belief systems. If you believe in yourself and what you intend to accomplish with your life, you will.

The first three steps in creation are very old concepts. They were considered the three faces of the Divine. For it we are created in the image of the Divine, then the Divine must have followed these three steps in order to create us. To the ancients, these three steps were:

1. Creator God - Awareness to create
2. Father God - for intention is the Father of Creation
3. Mother God - because belief is the Mother of Creation
   

QUANTUM PHYSICS - The science of quantum physics has methodically been proving the existence of the Divine over the past fifty plus years. This proof follows a line of reasoning first postulated by ancient civilizations over 6500 years ago and described by the Tree of Life. To fully understand this process and appreciate the wisdom of our ancient forefathers and foremothers requires an understanding of the first ten paths on the Tree of Life. We will give you the necessary links when you reach that point in your studies.

TAROT - The Sphere of Belief is represented by the Threes in the Tarot deck and divided into our beliefs concerning the physical, mental, emotional and intuitive or psychological areas of our life. A separate teaching on the Tarot is available for students who complete the Tree of Life teaching cycle.

VISUALIZATIONS - Visualization is based on belief just as concentration and contemplation are based on intentions. Once you know how to use affirmations, the next step is to close your eyes and visualize your intentions becoming true. Just sit quietly, breathe deeply and visualize your affirmation coming true. Feel it happening. Allow it to happen. Visualize it being manifested in your life now.

If at first you do not see anything, make believe that you are seeing exactly what you want to see. In time, you will.
