Releasing does a great job of simplifying spiritual beliefs. Through regular releasing we become trained to understand that the only thing that is preventing us from living life to the full is our attachments and aversions to our thoughts. We create an attachment to a thought when we try to hold on to something so that we can draw it near to us. We create an aversion towards a thought when we take hold of it with the purpose of holding it away from us. Regular patterns of thinking become beliefs, and therefore, what we are working with is our attachments to beliefs.
Simplified Spiritual Beliefs
Our spiritual beliefs become transformed, and simplified, when we understand that our attachments and aversions give rise to one or more of a group of eight emotions. These emotions culminate in what is known as the four wants: approval, control, security and separation.
Most people do not know that they can let go of their attachments to an emotion or its underlying want or wants. Self-help and spiritual teaching, including Christianity, has for years presented a method of teaching which assumes that the practitioner is able to implement those principles and concepts with an effort of the will. For instance, Christian teaching may tell people to forgive others, with the assumption that forgiveness is a quick and simple thing to do.
However, for those people who are struggling with unforgiveness issues, they find that it is not quite as easy as some people may assume. It is the same with emotional problems: self-help teaching might tell people to be kind to others and not be angry towards them. But for people who struggle with anger issues, it is easier said than done.
Finally, through releasing, the means to be able to let go of emotions and their underlying wants - is available. Not only that, but people who experience releasing, come to understand how fast, simple and effective it really is.
