A belief is anything you feel reasonably secure about. The reason you believe them is because you have got past experience under them. Legs of past experience. And those legs of past experience are going to be—let’s say that you believe the eye of a stove is hot.
There’s your belief. Just about all of you believe that, right? Well, why? Well, first off before you were even old enough to walk people who loved you picked you up, hugged you, kissed you, they saw you move toward the stove. They said sweetheart, don’t put your hand up there, it’s hot. That’s a thing called referral past experience. So there’s one of the legs.
Another one of your legs might be you put your hand up there and touched it. You burnt your hand. That’s your own past experience. Your own past experience, so there’s another leg. You’ve seen water boil on it, that’s a past experience. So underneath your beliefs will be all of these past experiences telling you that something is true—such as the eye of a stove is hot.
