The beliefs of course will be accepted by you not as beliefs, but as reality. Once you understand that you form your reality, then you must begin to examine these beliefs by letting the conscious mind freely examine its own contents.

(9:50.) Usually when you do examine your conscious mind you do so looking through, or with, your own structured beliefs. The knowledge that your beliefs are not necessarily reality will allow you to be aware of all the data that is consciously available to you. I am not telling you to examine your thoughts so frequently and with such vigor that you get in your own way, but you are not fully conscious unless you are aware of the contents of your conscious mind. I am also emphasizing the fact that the conscious mind is equipped to receive information from the inner self as well as the exterior universe.

If you find all of this difficult, you can also examine your physical reality in all of its aspects. Realize that your physical experience and environment is the materialization of your beliefs. If you find great exuberance, health, effective work, abundance, smiles on the faces of those you meet, then take it for granted that your beliefs are beneficial. If you see a world that is good, people that like you, take it for granted, again, that your beliefs are beneficial. But if you find poor health, a lack of meaningful work, a lack of abundance, a world of sorrow and evil, then assume that your beliefs are faulty and begin examining them.

The basic beliefs however were always in your conscious mind, and the reasons for your behavior. You simply had not examined its contents with the realization that your beliefs were not necessarily reality, but often your conceptions of it.

[...] They became objects to be categorized, named, torn apart and examined.

[...] Only then could he examine it, you see, without qualm, and without being aware of the living voice that protested (Jane now spoke in a much louder and deeper voice temporarily); and so in his great fascination for what made things work, in his great curiosity to understand the heredity of a flower, say, he forgot what he could [also] learn by smelling a flower, looking at it, watching it be itself.

So he examined “dead nature.” [...]

[...] You can see why it is so important that you examine all of your beliefs about yourself and the nature of your reality; and one belief, if you let it, will lead you to another.

You want to examine life, to experience it, and yet in some way find in time a safe dimension apart from time. What you want is a second life in life, in which to appreciate and examine life’s experience. [...] On the other hand, they rob you in time of that second life you want, in which to examine your experiences.

[...] Most artist, painters, do not feel the need, then, to “later” examine the moments of creativity themselves, nor to form still another subjective platform from which to examine the creative process.

[...] At the same time he often feels the need to stand apart from life, from the fleeting thoughts, the daffodils or the insight, so that he will not be lost completely in the moment, but able to form almost a second self with a larger viewpoint, who can then more clearly examine and understand the thought, the moment, or the insight.

Now obviously, if you cut down distractions, or all experiences, there would be little left to enjoy or examine. [...]

If you use your conscious mind properly, then, you examine those beliefs that come to you. [...] You are only half conscious when you do not examine the information that comes to you from without, and when you ignore the data that comes to you from within.

[...] They do not examine them. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Sometimes it seems easier to avoid the frequent readjustments in behavior that self-examination requires. [...]

(10:13.) Many false beliefs therefore are indiscriminately accepted because you have not examined them. [...]

“With some women, not conducting regular self-examinations would rouse as many fears as doing them — and since those women’s beliefs follow official medical ones so strictly, they’re much better off with the examinations. In this and all instances regarding health, each woman should weigh all the evidence, examine her beliefs, and make her own decisions.”

[...] I refer to those in which the specific symptoms of various diseases are given, in which the individual is further told to examine the body with those symptoms in mind. [...]

The breast cancer suggestions associated with self-examinations have caused more cancers than any treatments have cured (most emphatically). [...]

[...] Certainly some women have uncovered cancers through self-examinations, and in so doing perhaps saved their lives. [...]

[...] When you examine one such belief then you obviously threaten the integrity of the structure; and so there are ways of inserting new supports, so to speak — methods to tide you over. The whole core belief need not fall down upon you as you examine its basis.

Structured beliefs collect and hold your experience, packaging it, so to speak; and so when you look at a given experience that seems like another, you put it into the same structured package, often without examination. [...]

[...] If you are not accustomed to examining your own mind, then you can allow separate growths of this kind to form about a belief until you cannot distinguish one from the other. [...]

[...] If you hold to it and do not examine it, however, you may find that the word “responsible” is quite loaded, and collects other ideas that are equally unexamined by you. [...]

You must therefore understand and examine your beliefs, realize that they form your experience, and consciously change those that do not give the effects you want. In such an examination you will be aware of many excellent beliefs that work for you. [...]

[...] To do this you have, hopefully, begun to examine your beliefs. [...]

[...] This is why it is vital that you examine your beliefs for yourself and understand what they mean to you personally. [...]

[...] Examine the conflicts. [...] They are quite available once you are determined to examine the complete contents of your conscious mind.

[...] Such habitual, unhappy thoughts will bring about the same kind of physical experience, but it is your own system of beliefs that you must examine.

The “negative” subjective and objective events that you meet are meant to make you examine the contents of your own conscious mind. [...]

Each individual must examine his or her individual beliefs, or begin with feelings which will inevitably lead to them. [...]

Examine what you have written. [...]

[...] Then use the positive suggestion in your own worth, backed up by your own personal self-examination. [...]

[...] Because you have not examined them, however, you may carry them long after they have served their purpose, and now they may work against you.

[...] A woman’s entire adult life can be structured according to such an idea if she does not learn to examine the contents of her mind. [...]

Now I want each of you to examine the feeling, hold the feeling while you listen to me but remember to hold the feeling for they are the connections, these feelings, with parallel selves. [...]

Examine your own feelings at this time. [...]

[...] Whenever such charged situations happen they are always the result of beliefs not consciously examined. [...]

Behind the events therefore are highly charged beliefs about (underlined) reality, that you have not examined, either of you, and about your relationship with each other, your stance in regard to the outside world, as well as ideas about freedom, spontaneity and responsibility.

Your penis position is also involved in some of the beliefs hidden and unrecognized, and will appear in such an examination.

[...] As you know, you are beginning an important venture, and that is why I want you to examine your feelings and motives now. You have done so, but you have not examined the specific attitudes of which I am speaking. [...]

[...] There are always obvious reasons that you can point to, but the emotional charge that exists within you on these issues is highly important and should be examined and investigated by you in the same way, you see, that you would investigate it if you saw it in someone else. [...]

[...] This is the portion, you see, that can so easily escape your examination. [...]

[...] They are no longer examined, but taken for literal truth.

[...] They belong to the past, and again they escape the questioning and examination that are usually given to new ideas. [...]

[...] It can indeed be examined but the examination itself, being action, changes it. [...]

[...] But you will see, indeed, that the nature of action, or the nature of any reality, is greatly colored by the viewpoint or dimension from which it is examined. It is my purpose here to examine for you reality from as many different aspects as possible, lifting you from the limitations of your own dimensions, and allowing you the advantage of others.

[...] All you have to do is decide to examine the contents of your conscious mind, realizing that it contains treasures that you have overlooked.

Another way to do this is to recognize through examination that the physical effects you meet exist as data in your conscious mind — and the information that formerly seemed unavailable will be obvious. [...]

[...] If, for example, you have scarcely enough money on which to live, and you examine your thoughts, you may find yourself constantly thinking, “I can never pay this bill, I never have any luck, I’ll always be poor.” [...]

[...] It enjoys playing with its own contents, so I am not here recommending a type of stern mental discipline in which you examine yourself at every moment. [...]

This “life-symbolization” may be adopted by those who gave little thought to self-examination during their lifetime. It is a part of the self-examination process, therefore, in which an individual forms his life into an image and then deals with it. [...]

[...] Then there is a period of self-examination, a rendering of accounts, so to speak, in which they are able to view their entire performance, their abilities and weak points and to decide whether or not they will return to physical existence.

(10:55.) Any given individual may experience any of these stages, you see; except for the self-examination, many may be sidestepped entirely. [...]

[...] I put my neutral state down to the long wait involved, my decision not to worry if at all possible, and probably other factors I haven’t even bothered to examine. [...]

[...] Medicinal science is also in a state of transition, and it is just as important — if not more so — that it examine its concepts as well as its techniques.

If the stages of waking consciousness were examined as sleep stages are presently being examined, for example, you would find a much greater range of activity than is suspected. [...]

[...] Now your class reflects what you are doing, so always look beneath the surface, and examine your class reactions as you examine your dream reactions. [...]

[...] The person interested most in herbs and plant life would also find that nightly dreams mirrored that daytime preoccupation, so that nightly dream excursions might find the dreamer examining strange herbs in another location than the native one. [...]

[...] Such information was then aired and shared, studied and examined along with all physical considerations that applied before important decisions were made (all intently).

[...] The question in such instances is the reason for such a person’s overconcern and alarm in the first place—why the intense interest in such possible catastrophes, or in crime or whatever?—and the answer lies in an examination of the person’s feelings and beliefs about the nature of existence itself.
