What is Choosing Your Vibration vs the Vibration Calling to You?

[Agua del Cielo]

My limiting beliefs appear to be iron strong, yet flexible enough to allow temporary excursions into higher states.

Your "limited" beliefs are only a surface phenomenon.
As you go deeper you will realize they are not your enemy (although they don't serve you well anymore), they contain a valuable treasure most likely.
Once understood, they can be your friends!

Every false belief also contains a deep truth, thats why they are so hard to get rid of.

The problem is, this truth is not logically connected to the belief.
Because of that the logical approach to it is no help but rather an obstacle.

In the example above, the complete belief would be:

"Humans arme dangerous and want to attack me. when i am unprotected they will hurt me at my very Core, which is unbearable. When i am fat i am less attractive, less likely to be attacked and the armour of fast Protection me.Being Safe is desirable, so being fat is desirable"

The truth in there would be, "i am very vulnerable" and "i have been hurt in my vulnerable Core".
This would be a very Deep truth.

But you forget the complete belief for various reasons. And the part you are confronted with "i desire to be fat" would make no logical sense to you.

When you simply fight against that "belief" you will miss the deeper truth.
When you explore it, it would (in this example) give you the gift of vulnerability.
you will understand the need for protection, but you can so it consciously now with better strategies.
And it would enable you to be "safely vulnerable".
Being vulnerable in my opinion is the Most important and at the same time the hardest Part of spiritual evolution.



Another reason why such old beliefs are hidden from the intellectual mind is:
Many of These beliefs and patterns have been acquired in an age where you did not yet have language.
Thus they are almost impossible to grasp while in a thinking mind!

If you ever happen to so a silent retreat, not using words, no speaking, no writing, no reading youwill make an amazing realization.
After maybe four days you start to function without words. All of a sudden you will ne able to access areas in you that have no (or not yet) language.
These areas are (for the "language reason") totally inaccessible to the intellectual mind.

As you proceed on your path you will undoubtedly get to know ever deeper portions of your self, and what now seems to be an obstacle can became your friend and teacher!
