Shifting Your Paradigm
by Alexia Alderson Chamberlynn
What is a paradigm?
In my own words, a paradigm is a belief system. It can
be a personal belief system, or one held by a mass
number of people, or even the whole world. Such a
belief system is so entrenched in our minds as truth
that it usually does not occur to us to question it.
Therefore, many of us never even think that maybe this
thought pattern needs updating. But, inevitably there
are those that go against the common thought, and
begin to challenge long held beliefs. More and more
people begin to awaken, each individual begins to
change their personal belief system, and the
phenomenon that occurs as this old belief system comes
tumbling down is often referred to as a paradigm
shift.
As many of you may be aware, there are major paradigm
shifts happening all over the planet right now. And
one of the big ones is about money and abundance.
Those of you working through your money issues, give
yourself a pat on the back. Money appears to be such a
barrier to freedom, and freedom is what we all really
want. We all need to be free to do all that we desire,
be all that we desire, and have all that we desire.
People all over the world are beginning to realize
this. A big global shift is swiftly approaching, and
we can all quicken it by working on our issues. You
can't change anyone else, but you can change you. One
by one, person by person, this shift is occurring. The
following are some of the old major money myths that I
have come across:
1. You have to work for a living; money must be
hard-earned.
2. Most people can't earn money doing what they love.
3. Life is a struggle, at the end you may get to
relax a bit.
4. It is sinful or bad to desire material possessions.
5. There is no such thing as perfection.
6. There is not enough for everyone.
7. Wealthy people are not nice.
8. Hold on tight to what you have.
9. Who am I to deserve wealth?
I'm sure there are many more, but this is an article,
not a novel! I have experienced all of the issues
above and am still working on some. Let's go over each
of these briefly.
Old Belief:
You have to work for/earn your money.
New Belief:
As a child of God/The Universe, you don't have to earn
anything. Allow yourself to receive money just because
you are who you are.
Old Belief:
You can't earn money doing what you love.
New Belief:
Au contraire, my friend. With proper planning anything
is possible. You don't have to be a clog in the
system.
Old Belief:
Life is a struggle.
New Belief:
Only if that's what you desire. Life is meant to be
simple and easy. We came here to be joyous and
passionate. Give yourself a break.
Old Belief:
You naughty desirer of materiality.
New Belief:
As long as possessions are not something you use to
define yourself, as long as you realize that they are
but icing on the cake, go for it! What a wonderful
array of delicious possibilities!
Old Belief:
Nothing is perfect.
New Belief:
There are many perfect things. Look around you at a
yellow daisy or a procession of white clouds or a
small child at play. The more you notice the
perfection that surrounds you, the more there will be.
Old Belief:
Mine! My precioussss!
New Belief:
The Universe is unlimited, boundless and forever
abundant! There is enough for everyone to have all
that they desire and more. We must simply allow it
into our lives.
Old Belief:
Wealthy people are jerks.
New Belief:
Is it possible that if you have resistance to wealthy
persons that you are blocking the way to becoming one?
By defining "them" as a separate group, you are
telling the Universe that you are not wealthy. Try
embodying wealth and affluence, right now.
Old Belief:
Hold on tight to your stuff (more Gollum hissing).
New Belief:
If you don't need something, or if it displeases you,
pass it along. Cleaning out always makes room for new
things to come. Keep only those things that make you
feel abundant.
Old Belief:
Who am I to deserve what I want?
New Belief:
It's not a matter of being deserving. Just as you are,
with all the seeming human imperfections, you are
really a perfect light being. Remember who you really
are.
Becoming aware of one's beliefs is the first step to
changing them.
So, let's all play with our beliefs, let's help create
this shift. Let's change the planetary paradigm to one
of unlimited abundance and freedom for all people!
Do preserve yourself & others while evolving continuously...

Hi
Very interesting sharing. When everything else fails it is a paradigm shift in thinking, the way of seeing things, the ability to think differently, being able to see opportunities in difficulties, that would enable one to navigate life with ease.
In many ways a paradigm shift is a creative dissonance that ironically brings about harmony to chaos.
Many of you can find the following blog contents effective in stimulating your thought process to embrace a positive paradigm shift in your life.

Hello Nathamuni,
A VERY GOOD POSTING.
I HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS ON THE FIRST TWO BELIEFS.
Old Belief:
You have to work for/earn your money.
New Belief:
As a child of God/The Universe, you don't have to earn
anything. Allow yourself to receive money just because
you are who you are.
THIS NEEDS SOME MORE EXPLANATION.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE OLD BELIEF ?
IT IS TRUE EVEN TODAY.
THE STATED NEW BELIEF APPEARS TO SOUND MORE PHILOSOPHICAL
Old Belief:
You can't earn money doing what you love.
New Belief:
Au contraire, my friend. With proper planning anything
is possible. You don't have to be a clog in the
system.
CAN THIS BE SUBSTANTIATED WITH SOME KIND OF STATISTICS.
THE OLD BELIEF IS STILL NOT OUT OF PLACE.
