Believing is seeing, how to break free from negative beliefs
By Guido de Valk
In creating our own life, many of us make a crucial mistake with enormous consequences: we wait for evidence before we believe. We cling to the idea that seeing is believing.But what if the reverse is true? What if believing is seeing?
Here are some examples:
- When I have a boyfriend, I’ll believe I’m attractive.
- If I get the job, I’ll believe I’m qualified.
- If I have a lot of money in the bank, I’ll believe I’m wealthy.
Do you see the pattern? We rely on external proof to validate our self-worth or potential. This mindset keeps us stuck, waiting, or working harder, while the universe responds to the energy of doubt rather than belief.
THE CONSCIOUS CREATOR
A conscious creator approaches life differently. They understand the principle of believing is seeing. This approach taps into the universal mechanism of manifestation: what you believe, you create. It’s not magic—it’s the way reality works. Let’s explore this mechanism more deeply.
THE MECHANISM OF MANIFESTATION
The mechanism of manifestation determines how you create your reality. It works like this:
- Your beliefs guide your thoughts, emotions, and actions.
- These actions shape your reality.
The kicker? This mechanism functions whether your beliefs are conscious or unconscious.
Unconscious beliefs often create outcomes you don’t want because they lead to self-sabotaging emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. On the other hand, conscious beliefs empower you to align with what you truly desire.
CASE STUDY: MEET ANN
Ann, a life coach, wanted to launch her online course programs. She’d taken training and acquired the skills, yet she struggled to create or sell her programs. Whenever she tried, insecurity overwhelmed her. She thought, “The program isn’t good enough,” or “No one is waiting for this.”
Her belief was steering her behavior.
Ann dealt with her insecurity by taking another course to improve her skills. While this made her more knowledgeable, it didn’t solve the problem—her programs still didn’t materialize. In its infinite wisdom, the higher self interpreted her choices as a desire to learn. Yet this pattern reinforced her core belief: I can’t create programs.
UNCOVERING THE ROOT BELIEF
When Ann came to me, she assumed her problem was lack of skill. However, her real struggle lay deeper.
Beliefs that create unwanted realities are often unconscious. Once a belief is brought into conscious awareness, it can dissolve naturally if it no longer serves you. Using the Enlightenment Methodology, we worked to uncover Ann’s hidden belief.
THE ENLIGHTENMENT METHODOLOGY
This approach involves revealing unconscious beliefs by microscopically analyzing one's emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in specific situations.
For Ann, we discovered she feared being judged for her unconventional ideas about life coaching. To avoid criticism, she played it safe, creating programs that didn’t align with her authentic self. Once this belief surfaced, it broke down almost instantly. Within a week, she manifested a platform for her course programs—a step she had been avoiding for years.
WHY THIS WORKS
Ann’s story highlights a crucial point:
Thoughts are not beliefs.
Your beliefs drive your thoughts, but they’re not the same thing. Thoughts are fleeting and easy to observe. Beliefs, however, often remain hidden, subtly shaping your reality until you bring them to light.
THE POWER OF BREAKING NEGATIVE BELIEFS
Conscious creation begins with identifying and breaking down beliefs that don’t align with your authentic self. Once negative beliefs dissolve, the energy they held is freed, allowing space for positive manifestations to take their place.
The moment you embrace the principle of believing is seeing, you stop waiting for external proof and start shaping your reality in alignment with who you truly are.
