Good morning and happy Thursday. Good everyone. It is Ash Wise. I hope that you are having an absolutely amazing day. So in continuing with the trend or theme of the technology of knowing yourself, here is the question for this morning. Do you actually believe your beliefs? Most people don't even know what they believe or why they believe it. And it's because they don't consciously realize or recognize that they've never gone back to evaluate the beliefs that they were taught as a child. We come into this world naked and unnamed and we're given a name, we're given a gender, we're given a race, we're given a religion, we're given a political, all of those things are demonstrated to us by the people that raise us and they shape our life. And so many people don't ever take the time to actually, they don't even realize they can't take the time to go back and choose their beliefs or choose again. So here's a story kind of, you know, sharing or driving that point home. And I can't remember exactly where this came from, but the gist is a woman was making pot roast, and she ended up cutting in half and using two different pans. And the husband was just like, why do we do this every single time? Like, let's just put it in one pan. And she's stopped and thought about it, and she's like, I don't know. And she called her mom, because that's how her mom taught her to do it, right? And her mom was like, that's because grandma did it. and then they called the grandma and the grandma was like, that's because I didn't have a pan big enough for the size pot roast that we needed for the whole family. So she would cut it in half and use two pans. Meanwhile, it was being carried on as a tradition or the belief of this is the way things are, generation.

If you're referring to religious beliefs, then yes. If it's beliefs like thoughts-wise, that common goal, whether we'd say negative, I think over time you've got to train yourself mentally and essentially become mentally resilient in that sense. So yeah.

that's actually a pretty funny story but yeah i i still catch myself questioning things it's just like everything you know the things that we just do by default a lot of stuff i've i've gone through deconstruction and everything so um i've kind of like chosen my own spiritual path and all that kind of thing for like the big things but there's some little things that i just do because a habit and and then I'll stop and be like, wait a sec.

I do believe in my beliefs. I think I will say there's times where I feel like I'm challenged though. Like okay with my faith or whatever the heck you know. Where it can't be challenging because you're like oh I think we live in a time where it's like we want instant gratification on everything. But ultimately I do still believe in my beliefs. I just got to remember to stay patient.

So it's so wild right? Because the age of Pisces which we're we've been slowly exiting for a hot minute now. Excuse me. Is I believe and the age of Aquarius we are you know finagling our way into is I know. So we as a collective are switching over from I believe to I know. So how cool would it be if we began to?
