In the following short article, Yehuda Berg makes a very poignant point about how beliefs can serve to our personal detriment. Being aware that this happens to varying degrees in our everyday lives can help us to work on this issue for ourself, today.
In 1973, just days before the Yom Kippur War, Israeli intelligence received many communications indicating that Syrian and Iraqi forces were mobilizing. Yet the chief of military intelligence at the time, Eliahu Zaira, said it’s not happening. He and his team believed, with complete certainty, that the threats were not true, that there was no need to fear, that a war was simply not happening. They claimed to have received information that appeared contrary to the rest of the communication.
This incident is referred to as “The Conception” and was heavily investigated back in the day.
Quite literally, on the night before Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Israel, where traffic literally ceases and silence and serenity permeates the streets of the entire country, telegrams from Cairo and Damascus were sent to Israel, stating that they would be attacking tomorrow. Hundreds of thousands of lives later, it became obvious that the threats were real.
Thousands dead, tens of thousands wounded, and all because someone, somewhere, had complete certainty in something false.
This is a dramatic illustration of a simple point. All too often, we get locked into belief systems and are blinded by those beliefs, as though it’s March 8 and your friend is insisting it’s the 4th of July – even though all of the calendars, clocks and computers say otherwise.
We need to know sometimes we are wrong. We must have total certainty in the path we’re on, in the way we live our lives, but not in other things.
Have you ever found yourself in the midst of an argument, and you can no longer hear the other person? As though your ears actually turn off? In those moments, it’s obvious how we block off everything we hear because we are too blocked in.
When we open ourselves up to other things, people, opinions, stories, facts, and details; then we can really let the Light in.
But we also need to watch out for the more subtle shut off valves within.
Something doesn’t let us budge, and as my father and teacher often says, “for all the right reasons” we hurt, blame, and often cause damage to ourselves and others. There is no doubt that Zaira thought he was doing the right thing, and that he believed his decision would do no harm – quite the opposite. But again, we need to come to terms with the fact that sometimes, even with the best intentions, we are wrong.
The person we are right now, with both our Light and our limitations, exists because we are locked in to certain things. When we open ourselves up to other things, people, opinions, stories, facts, and details; then we can really let the Light in.
All the best,
Yehuda

So how can we be sure that beliefs that have been created within ourselves don’t set up ‘blinders’ in our lives?
The Core Health and Heart Forgiveness processes specifically clear common erroneous belief programming that the vast majority of us grew up with. It is now possible to re-write our internal programming, releasing ourselves from the limitations caused by them.
Erroneous beliefs were programmed into us, mainly due to society not understanding early childhood powerful growth techniques (a blind leading the blind syndrome, if you will). There is tremendous good news though. Inherently, you have a ‘core’ that cannot be damaged… only covered up, hidden from your daily awareness. This ‘core’ can be uncovered and made a permanent part of your daily life and that can be done relatively quickly, very easily and with long lasting effect.
