三管齊下改變信念

One particular method is three-pronged.

1. You generate the emotion opposite the one that arises from the belief you want to change, 
2. and you turn your imagination in the opposite direction from the one dictated by the belief. 
3. At the same time you consciously assure yourself that the unsatisfactory belief is an idea about reality and not an aspect of reality itself.

You realize that ideas are not stationary. Emotions and imagination move them in one direction or the other, reinforce them or negate them. 

(Pause at 11:23.) Quite deliberately you use your to be in physical terms and “pretend” that what you really want is real. 

If you are poor, you purposely pretend that you have all you need financially. Imagine how you will spend your money. If you are ill, imagine playfully that you are cured. See yourself doing what you would do. If you cannot communicate with others, imagine yourself doing so easily. If you feel your days dark and pointless, then imagine them filled and joyful. 

Now this may sound impractical, yet in your daily life you use your imagination and your emotions often at the service of far less worthy beliefs; and the results are quite clear — and let me add, unfortunately practical.
