We've all heard the Edgar Allan Poe quote, "Believe nothing you hear and only half of that you see." But do we heed that warning?
No, we definitely do not. We are all gullible!
Here's why: Because we believe most of what we hear, and we know in the depths of our soul that what we see is true.
"Seeing is believing." Right?!
Wrong!
Here are just three examples of why I know we are all gullible.
First, peer-reviewed, scientific evidence exists that our physiological biology changes with our beliefs, and yet, we still choose to hold fast to ideas that emotionally, physically, and spiritually damage us in a multitude of ways. (Dr. Joe Dispenza and Doreen Virtue and a multitude of shamans teach this.)
Second, peer-reviewed, scientific evidence exists that we are not descendants of Neanderthals, and yet, Darwin's theory is still being taught as unrefutable in our school's curriculum. (Gregg Braden, Bruce Lipton, and many spiritual advisors teach this.)
Third, we don't have what we want. The majority of us are still in search of something else, something more, something beyond what we already have, and yet, we are 100% capable of having everything our heart desires simply believing it to be true. (Abraham Hicks; Dr. Wayne Dyer; and many people I love all teach this, myself included.)
The problem is we see evidence all around us of things we think we can't control - we're poor; we can't find love; we are physically unhealthy; we are searching for God; etc. When it comes down to what we truly believe, we continue to think our beliefs are an insignificant factor to our experience here on Earth.
We are extremely gullible. We are easily duped or cheated. We believe what other people tell us, and we believe the lies with such force, we literally believe ourselves into the life we are currently experiencing - good, bad, and otherwise.
How do we change any of this? How do we become less gullible? How do we embrace our own superpower?
The journey to enlightenment is completely different for each of us. That said, every single person on the path to enlightenment begins that journey with a piece of knowledge that shakes our beliefs to the core, shattering the existence of anything actually being "true."
When that happens, we open up to a world we didn't know existed, and hopefully, we welcome that change.
Maybe it happened when you were a kid as you watched a loved one's health be "miraculously" restored? Maybe it happened when you decided that the people you're surrounded by don't know a darn thing, and you chose to leave the smallmindedness behind? Maybe it happened when you were introduced to a scholar or philosopher who challenged your core beliefs?
Whatever happened to bring you to this article, I am profoundly grateful you made it here. This is a sign you are ready to embrace your human superpower - your beliefs.
May you be blessed along your path.
Warmly,
Jamie A. Bishop, MA

Hello sister Jemmie. I am a Pastor from Mumbai India. I am glad to stop by your profile on the blogger and the blog post. I am also blessed and feel privileged and hoboured to get connected with you as well as know you and about your interest in The Mission. I found your post interesting but there is a need of acknowledging the power of God rather than power with in. I love getting connected with the people of God around the globe to be encouraged strengthened and praying for one another. I have been in the Pastoral ministry for last 40 yrs in this great city of Mumbai a city with a great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the brokenhearted. We also encourage young and the adults from the west to come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. We would love to have you and young people to come to Mumbai to work with us during your vacation time. I am sure you will have a life changing experience. Looking forward to hear from you very soon. God's richest blessings on you your family and friends also wishing you a blessed and a Christ centered rest of the New year 2020. My email id is:dhwankhede(at)gmail(dot)com and my name is Diwakar Wankhede.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, Pastor Wankhede. I responded in March, but I do not see my response posted, so I am responding again. With respect, I believe we are saying the same thing with different terminology. You say God. I say Source within. There is a reason the Bible refers to God as the great I AM. Those words alone suggest God is the Source within us all. That is the power to which I am referring. I say this with genuine respect for your beliefs and faith in God as The Almighty. With warmth and gratitude for your interaction, Sister Jamie
