Is Belief and Trust Necessary For Achieving Your Goals?
They say you can achieve it if you believe it. They also say that trust is necessary. But you know what; they also say that whether you believe it or not, whether you trust it or not, certain laws of the universe will always work as they are designed to. Your belief and trust is, in regard to these laws, unnecessary.
You could say that there is a certain Current of Life that will run a certain way whether you believe it or not. When you swim against this current, it is a struggle, and then you definitely do need belief and trust to achieve your goals. When you swim with the current, when you are in the flow, you become prosperous effortlessly, and belief and trust is not necessary. At that point, only desire is required, and that desire calls forth the achievement of your goals, effortlessly.
One definition of trust, in regards to what we are talking about here, is the believing that you will be given what you ask for. Ask and you shall receive. It is a very simple statement; no need to complicate it. The universe always brings forth what you hold in your mind. Call it the Law of Attraction or Cause and Effect. You become what you think about. And what you become, what you are, is a state of being that attracts the conditions that define that state of being. This becomes your life.
Not believing that you will receive whatever you ask for is lack of trust. Therefore, lack of trust is a belief that works against you because your thoughts will tend to say to you "you will not get what you desire". And so shall it be. So lack of trust is definitely something that will bring thoughts that create realities that are against your desires.
But imagine now that you are moving into trust, becoming more trusting of yourself and the universe as a whole. Finally, you become fully trusting - and then you discover something magical. That the system works very simply. You are so you have. You think so you create. It is a simple system. It works whether you trust it or not. When you don't trust, you come from a state of being attacked and defeated and you think thoughts of lacking. And because you are so and you think so, the system creates so, exactly (and so you end up with "evidence" that "proves" that you cannot trust the universe).
But when you are in a state of knowing abundance and thinking that way, the system creates from those same thoughts. And you end up with your desires being achieved easily. It is a simple input output system. What you put in is what you get out. So when you fully trust, you start to see the magic - that trust is unnecessary. The system will always process your input and produce corresponding output exactly. Do you see this? Trust is not necessary, but if you are distrustful, then trust is necessary - not for the sake of the system, but for your sake.
Lack of trust is a crippler, trust is the crutches to help you learn to walk and heal your cripple, and when you can walk fully healed, you drop the crutches, you realize that trust is unnecessary, because you see finally that the system works always. At that point you move from the idea and conviction that the person with the request, the request itself, and the fulfiller of the request are three separate things, and you finally see and experience that they are all the same One thing. The observer, the observed and the observation are One.
Let's talk about belief now. This is even simpler. Illusions depend on belief for them to exist, for they are "made up" by the thoughts held by the believer. But Reality exists whether you believe it or not. It just Is. So you don't have to believe, as long as you don't believe against. You don't have to believe, as long as you don't believe against. You don't have to believe that you will get the car of your dreams, as long as you don't believe you won't. As long as you desire and dream of the car, it will come, but only as long as you don't believe it won't. Again, belief is unnecessary, unless you hold a contrary thought. If you hold contrary thoughts, belief is necessary (it is another crutch). Don't forget that a belief is merely a thought that you have over and over. A belief is simply a thought you have repeatedly.
So what is necessary on all occasions, whether you are talking about belief or trust? Imagination, desire, is the only necessary ingredient. That is all. Imagination, vision, desire - that is all that must be there. And if it is clear and unobstructed, even without belief or trust it will work perfectly. Whatever you imagine and desire is magnetized to you naturally, scientifically, and you don't have to do anything to make these laws work for you.
It is very true that you can have anything if you believe it. But remember, if you are having trouble finding your faith, simply look instead at the system, and you will see that faith is not even necessary, once you know that the system has been created by the Creator to work perfectly all the time, regardless. What you put in is what you get out. Your job, then, is simply not to think against yourself, and as long as you don't think against yourself, all your desires will naturally manifest. I wish you the highest possible achievements. If you wish to know more about all this, see:

You Must Change the 148,000 No's In Your Subconscious to Yes's
What does it take to succeed? How can you move forward - no, take
a quantum leap forward - in your achievements, in realizing your
dreams?
According to some research, a person who grows up in an average,
reasonably positive home is told "no" or told what he or she
cannot do over 148,000 times before they hit their 18th birthday!
The number of "yes'" or encouragement on what they can do is far
smaller than the "no's", "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts" (which are
all "no's").
So what?
Well, think about it. The results you achieve in your life are a
result of the actions you take. So what determines the actions
you will take?
Let us first discuss the power of practice and repetition. We all
know that repetition creates habit. Our brains and physiology
learns through repetition. We are pattern-making and pattern-
following creatures. Practice makes perfect. Whether you like it
or not, the more you repeat something, the more it becomes part
of you.
Repetition is programming. Repetition is programming. And 148,000
"no's" is a lot of programming!
Repetition creates programming, which in turn creates beliefs,
which in turn determine your thoughts and emotions, which in turn
determine your actions, which in turn determine your results.
Have you noticed how you tend to think the same kind of thoughts
over and over again? Studies show that we have about 50,000
thoughts per day, and a whooping 90% of them are repetitive! Like
an old, tired record. And remember, repetition creates patterns,
habits. You are literally hypnotizing yourself with your repeated
thoughts.
Other research shows that 77% of everything that most people
think about is negative, self-damaging, hindering, and
counterproductive. Now, remember, your results come from your
actions, and your actions come from your thoughts, and your
thoughts come from your beliefs, and beliefs come from your
programming (what you repeatedly tell yourself or get told).
It goes even further than that. Your subconscious mind controls
almost everything about you. For example, it controls your
autonomic nervous system. What is that? Here is what the
Microsoft Encarta encyclopedia says: "Autonomic Nervous System,
in vertebrate anatomy, one of the two main divisions of the
nervous system, supplying impulses to the body's heart muscles,
smooth muscles, and glands. The autonomic system controls the
action of the glands; the functions of the respiratory,
circulatory, digestive, and urogenital systems; and the
involuntary muscles in these systems and in the skin. Controlled
by nerve centers in the lower part of the brain, the system also
has a reciprocal effect on the internal secretions, being
controlled to some degree by the hormones and exercising some
control, in turn, on hormone production." Which all means that
your hormones, energy levels, actions and so forth are controlled
by the subconscious mind. If you have told yourself that you are
clumsy, the subconscious will work with your hormones, motor
skills, and so on and make you act, move and talk stupid. If you
have told yourself that you don't fit in social situations, you
will find yourself standing in the corner not fitting. Whatever
you say, boss. Your subconscious is like a computer. Whatever you
program into it, it makes happen. No questions asked. You are the
boss, and whatever you say, happens.
Your imagination, your thoughts, what you perceive, what you
don't perceive, what you see and what you miss, how you act, what
you feel... these are all determined by one thing: your
programming, what you repetitively tell yourself (and what you
repetitively got told or observed during your youthful formation
years).
So how do you take the quantum leap, how do you step out of the
box of your own thoughts and see beyond it. How do you program
yourself for success? Well, the same way you create all
programming: practice. Repetition. You have to not only find what
works positively for you, but you have to practice that new
positive way over and over until it becomes part of you. Positive
thinking and self-help advice will not work unless you make it
permanent for you by practicing it over and over. Your entire
physiology has to be rewired; your neural pathways (which create
pattern and memory) have to be redrawn. All this happens by
practice. Repetition. Repetition. Repetition. Practice. Then one
day, like with everything else you ever learnt through practice,
you just find yourself automatically doing it! It becomes you!
Ok, now how fast and to what extent can you grow your
consciousness within one lifetime? The quick and dirty answer is
that there is an average rate of growth, but there are no limits.
According to Dr. David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., in his
bestselling book Power vs. Force, people on average tend to
increase their consciousness by 5 points in a lifetime (on a
scale of 0 to 1000). So if you were born at a consciousness level
of 300, you tend to get to 305 by the time you die. But that is
an average that includes billions of people. There is nothing to
limit anyone except their own choices. Many are on record for
having achieved 100% or even 2000% increases or more, where they
are literally renewed and are different in just about everyway. A
transformation happens.
So if you wish to leap forward, know that nothing stops you. But
also know that you have to leap forward in your mind first. You
have to re-write the negative programming that is keeping you
where you are. And re=programming is done best through acting in
the new way and practicing that over and over until it becomes
part of you. The more you open up, let go, allow, trust and not
resist or defend your old ways, the faster you will move forward.
Practice. Whatever you do, practice until it becomes you. And it
will happen automatically, you will find yourself anew.

School Violence: A Deadly Pattern Calls for Action
(NewsUSA) - Are schools safe? Considering the number of tragic events that have occurred at schools across the country in recent years, this is one question every parent, teacher, administrator and community member is having a hard time answering.
The recent shooting in Red Lake, Minn., put another act of classroom violence on the map. This tragedy, as well as other high-profile school shootings such as the one at Columbine High School in Colorado and others in Tennessee, Oregon and Michigan, clearly show that school violence is not limited by geography or demographics.
This deadly pattern has stirred concerns about school safety, gun control and the need to address the roots of such violence inof school safety and security issues and to help make schools more safe, the National Crime Prevention Council, best known for its 25-year-old beloved icon, McGruff the Crime Dog, developed the Be Safe and Sound initiative in collaboration with National PTA. This public education effort, funded by the Allstate Foundation, Assa Abloy Gro the nation's schools.
To raise awareness up and the Security Industry Association, mobilizes parents to work with school officials and policymakers in creating an environment where students feel safe.
The initiative distributes publications that help parents and others learn the ropes to becoming involved in school safety issues. Its "Caregivers' Guide to School Safety and Security," for example, outlines specific actions they can take to help improve school safety and includes an overview of security guidelines.
Another helpful resource is the "School Safety and Security Toolkit: A Guide for Parents, Schools, and Communities." This guide gives parents and community members the tools they need to work with school administrators and policymakers to assess the safety and security of schools and plan for improvements.
"Until we put school safety at the top of the community agenda, our schools - and our children - will continue to be vulnerable," said Alfonso E. Lenhardt, president and CEO of the National Crime Prevention Council.
