My take on inborn attitudes
This text delves into the concept of inborn attitudes that shape our existence, emphasizing affirmations crucial for personal growth and fulfillment. These inherent beliefs, discussed as intrinsic psychological supports, aim to guide us throughout life, from expressing our abilities to finding fulfillment and even facing mortality with a sense of assurance. It emphasizes the impact of life experiences and external beliefs in either bolstering or diminishing these innate affirmations, highlighting their importance in sustaining a sense of safety and well-being.
Seth on inborn attitudes that can be used as daily affirmations
These inborn leanings or attitudes can roughly be translated as follows.
- I am an excellent creature, a valuable part of the universe in which I exist.
- My existence enriches all other portions of life, even as my own being is enhanced by the rest of creation.
- It is good, natural, and safe for me to grow and develop and use my abilities. And by so doing, I also enrich all other portions of life.
Next: I am eternally couched and supported by the universe of which I am a part. And I exist whether or not that existence is physically expressed.
Next: By nature, I am a good deserving creature. And all of life’s elements and parts are also of good intent.
And next: All of my imperfections and all of the imperfections of other creatures are redeemed in the greater scheme of the universe in which I have my being.
Those attitudes are inbred in the smallest microscopic portions of the body – a part of each atom and cell and organ. And they serve to trigger all of the body’s responses that promote growth and fulfillment…The inborn leanings and attitudes that we have been discussing should ideally remain with you for the rest of your life, leading you to express your abilities and finding fulfillment as your knowledge expands through experience. The same feelings and beliefs should, also, ideally help you die with a sense of safety, support, and assurance. While these inbred psychological supports never leave you entirely, they are often diminished by beliefs encountered later in life, that serve to undermine the individual’s sense of safety and well-being.
