Sometimes a person can get in a place where they feel sad about certain things and so you have to release that energy but also giving affirmations to yourself helps to change this energy obviously, right?

EQ:  No.

No?

EQ:  Affirmations can not help if thee do not believe what thee are truly saying.  If thee are seeing the world as black, it does not matter how many times thee look at it and say it is white.  It is not white.  Dost thou understand?  Thee cannot convince thy brain of something thee do not believe.  This is why we have said to you, even though thee may have a consciousness that thee can walk through this wall - and our counsciousness says that we can, and thus we can - the mass consciousness of Terra says thee cannot so thee will not be able to until the mass consciousness says thee can.  It is true within thyself.  If thee do not believe something, it doesn't matter how many times thee tell thyself that it is so.  The belief is not there and it will not manifest.

So what does one do?

EQ:  One begins to alter the original belief.

Which is why I was thinking that by saying positive affirmations that that. . .  Ok, so then could you be a little more specific on that question?

EQ:  Well we would say it depends on the belief, would we not?  There are certain beliefs that are much more difficult to alter than others, but we will use an example.  Let us say that thee have a phobia.  Dost all know what phobia is?

Uh huh...

EQ:  Let us say that thy phobia is of tall buildings.  Are there not multiple ways of  changing thy belief about whether or not thee will be safe on a tall building?

Yes.

EQ:  One way is to begin slowly to go up a floor at a time over a length of time until thee finally understand that thee are safe.  Is this not so?

Yes.

EQ:  Another way is to have a hypnotherapy session or a neuro-linguistic session, is this not so?

Yes.

EQ:  What thee are doing is approaching the problem from a different direction and thus seeing it in a different light.  Dost thou understand?

Yes.

EQ:  We will give you a very simple example.  When thee are about to walk into a very dark room, thee will feel fear, will thee not?  This is logical because thee do not know what is in that room.  Thee do not know that thee will not step down and break thy ankle on something, is this not so?

Yes.

EQ:  So how dost thou get over this fear?  Turn on the light!  It is that simple.  So when thee have a belief, disprove it.  If thee believe the world sucks - we hear this term all the time:  The world sucks - if thee believe this then what we would do is go in search of all the things that don't suck.  Dost thou understand?

Yes.

EQ:  But thee could sit there all day long, hibernating, and say, "The world doesn't suck, the world doesn't suck, the world doesn't suck, the world doesn't suck," and what would that do?  The first thing that would happen would be thee would leave thy house and meet someone else who thinks the world sucks and the two of thee would have a big fight, thee would run back home and say, "See I was right.  The world sucks."

(Laughter)

EQ:  Because do thee not draw to thee thy deeper beliefs?

Ahh.  Hmmm...

EQ:  It is work to change beliefs.  Some may take thy entire lifetime and thee may still not fully relinquish it.  Is this not so?  And some may be very simple but thee are afraid to let go on Terra because then thee would have to come to grips with just exactly how incredibly powerful we are, and how much of thy world is truly thine to control.

So is it by experience that these fears, so to say, have put up their blocks for people?

EQ:  It is experiences, it is also believing the entities of thy parents and friends who thee trust implicitly before thee have a brain that can analyze the truth of what thee are told.  Dost thou understand?

Right, because we are evolving with each generation?

EQ:  No, it is not that.  Imagine that thee be two years old.  Thee are just a small creature.  Thee absolutely have complete trust in thy mother and thy mother says to thee, "Do not touch that, it is hot," and thee touch it and it burns thee.  Then all she has to do from then on in is say, "Don't do this, it will hurt thee," and thee will trust because she did not lie once, that this will hurt thee.

Ok.

EQ:  And it is that simple.
