Effective ways to deconstruct beliefs

[Gohabsgo]

In your experience, what has been the most efficient method at taking down your limiting beliefs.

[Samra]

I'm quite new to this exercise. But so far, staring and focusing at a belief makes it abstract. And that abstraction creates confusion. And the confusion sheds a light on truth (I don't know , this is unknown to me) . And from there the question of what is the "I" that think it knows or doesn't know comes from. That's as far I have gotten.

I've been interested in beleifs and how they work for over ten years. It started when I stumbled upon the work of Morty Lefkoe. I took his training courses, have done a ton of introspection and analysis about it ever since, both through contemplation and by looking up other people's ideas, and still to this day I don't fully understand everything there is to understand about beliefs.

I feel like I know a lot about the subject, but not enough to have a reliable formula to change beliefs, when it comes to personality-shaping ones like "I'm [x trait]".

I have found Byron Katie's "The Work" good for this.

I think pushing myself out of my comfort zone and having a a good grounding works, also taking risks and willing to push through the discomfort.

Fasting, not just from food but everything in life. The more you discard the more you realize you are complete.

[Sahil Pandit]

@Gohabsgo Prolonged fasting + being emotionally heart centered, contemplating about what matters the most in life and how much life has already been experienced. Pretty much spiritual purification of sorts. 

[Gohabsgo]

What is meant by fasting in this sense?

[Sahil Pandit]

@Gohabsgo Intermittent fasting for spiritual growth

I begin with awareness. I use an exercise called the participant and the observer where I look at myself living and acting according to my beliefs. Then I continue with examining the layers of my belief or why I do what I do. I keep asking why until I come at an answer that I use as the temporary reason (because I can dig deeper in the future and find another layer of reason beneath it). If I can find a reason why I have a belief that's ineffective (perhaps related to an experience in the past), then I often experience spontaneous remission: the belief immediately dissolves once I identify it.
