Transform Fear Through Core Belief Work
 
 
 
by Glactic Love Reporter Julie Miller 
 
Most of us have one or more challenging core beliefs which surface repeatedly over the course of our lives. These core beliefs are usually rooted in deep, unexpressed fears. Depending on your perspective, core beliefs either cause all sorts of problems, or present many opportunities for growth.When you choose to look at core belief work as an opportunity, you are much more likely to transform your fears into learning tools which lead to a better life. Below are the most common core issues, their related fears or beliefs, and suggestions for dealing with them.
 
Examples of Common Core Challenges and Associated Fears or Beliefs
 
Abandonment – Nobody cares about me. I'm all alone. I don't matter. I can't trust anyone.
Arrogance – I'm better than all of you. I'm too much. I'm right and you're wrong.
Damaged – Something is wrong with me. I'm a failure. I'm damaged.
Inferiority – I'm not good enough. I'm stupid. I'm worthless. I'm boring. I'm hopeless.
Rejection – I'm a burden. I'm unwanted. Nobody wants to spend time with me.
Shame – I'm bad. I'm evil. I'm a mistake. I'm a monster. I'm disgusting. I'm possessed.
 
These challenging core beliefs often originate from childhood family scenarios. They can be a result of negative messages that were repeated many times to us by our parents or other significant people in our lives. Or one of these beliefs may have been driven deep into us during one or more traumatic experiences. Was one of the above core beliefs drilled into you in your early years?
 
Note that some people are overcompensators. If you are in this category, you may unconsciously do everything you can to make it appear as if you are anything but your core belief. For instance, someone with inferiority as a core belief might outwardly appear very macho or domineering. Yet deep inside, this is covering up a fear of being inferior. A person dealing with shame may be overly nice and giving to cover up a belief that they are really bad. Particularly if you are having trouble finding a core challenge, notice if any of your behavior is opposite of the core challenges above.
 
Examples of Behavior of Overcompensators
 
Abandonment – Always need to be included, join everything to avoid deeper feelings.
Arrogance – Act very humble, hiding their deeper belief that no one can match them.
Damaged – Present themselves as always great, avoid talking about their problems.
Inferiority – Macho, domineering, need to prove they are better than others.
Rejection – Present themselves as incredibly desirable, yet reject others easily.
Shame – Overly nice and giving. Overcompetency. Secretly fear being exposed as fraud.
 
Whether you are an overcompensator or not, by exploring the deep beliefs behind your fears, you can transform your life for the better. Though you may find that you have more than one of the above, generally one will be more prominent than the others. Particularly if this is new to you, we highly recommend you first focus on exploring your most prominent core challenge. To deal with this, you can then design intentions to gradually shift this deeply ingrained fear or belief.
 
Suggested Intentions for Transforming Fears, Core Beliefs
 
Abandonment – I am worthy of love. I can find ways to safely share myself with others.
Arrogance – I can learn from all around me. I can see goodness in everyone I meet.
Damaged – I am whole and complete just as I am. I can choose to love all of me.
Inferiority – I am a good, valuable person. I can make meaningful contributions to the world.
Rejection – I am an attractive, interesting person. People can enjoy getting to know me.
Shame – I can be gentle with myself. I can hold the best intentions for all deep in my heart. 
 
 
 
At the root of all of these core challenges is a lack of acceptance and a deep feeling of being disconnected. This disconnection can be from ourselves, from others, from our spiritual nature, or from any combination of these. Here are two empowering intentions for transforming these most basic core beliefs: May I ever deepen my acceptance of myself and all around me. May I ever deepen my connection with myself and with all around me.
 
The above intentions are merely suggestions which you may or may not choose to use. By developing your own statements that resonate more strongly with your personal experience, you can transform your fears on a deeper level. Set aside time to explore these challenges. Change the wording any time you find something more appropriate. You might also invite close friends or family members to give suggestions. Writing down your intentions is highly recommended. Consider writing a set of life intentions, and review them frequently to help keep you on track.
 
Once you have developed your intentions, cultivate an awareness of how and when your core challenge is triggered. Notice when you are telling yourself that same old story. Each time this happens, remind yourself of your deeper intention and open to shifting from your old, disempowering self-image into a new, fuller way of being. You can continually choose transformation by remembering to recognize fear as an invitation to growth.
 
This is not to suggest that you avoid or suppress your fears and core challenges. Working to accept and understand all parts of yourself, including your core challenges, opens the door to transformation and allows you more easily and naturally to access your beautiful deeper essence. This, in turn, can help you to live a much fuller and richer life. For overcompensators, who often have a strong tendency to avoid their fears, this is particularly important. 
 
Don't be surprised if after having a significant breakthrough in transforming a core belief, you eventually find the same issue rearing its ugly head again in a different form. Most people find that transforming fear through working with their core beliefs is like peeling away layers of an onion. You make a significant breakthrough, only to eventually find the same old core belief manifesting in another, more subtle form. Yet as each layer is peeled away, you will very likely find your life to be richer, more meaningful, and more enjoyable than it was before.
 
By identifying and choosing to transform our core challenging beliefs, we transform our deepest fears and end up feeling more alive and more connected with ourselves and with those around us. This then inspires us to participate more fully and effectively in building a brighter future for all.
 
I understand fear, I  have lived in fear but through the gentle guidance of the Creator and many of my guides and past-on loved ones, I have learned to transform this fear and I live in strength, courage, LOVE. I have deep faith and trust in all that I do and who I AM. I have met each challenge head-on; I have never run from one because it would have caught up with me at some point. What pours through me is Uconditional Love for all people, no matter if they are on the path of goodness or have chosen a harder path that brings in tremendous wrongdoings. Every child is a child of God and each one is deserving of His love even they do not realize it or want it. God loves all His children with equal effection. I have surrendered my heart to God who I call the Creator and since then I have progressed beyond any expectation (not that I have any). I live in a world that contains no expectation, assumptions or attachments. I AM grateful for the learning I have gained not only from the Creator, but from the Beloved Master Buddha, and many other fine masters, angels and other deities that I turn to and admire. I love all who takes the time to stop by and read my posts and channelings, and love all who choose not to. 
 
Brightest Blessings
