According to Merriam Webster, an assumption is a fact or statement taken for granted. An assumption can also be viewed as an opinion about reality without direct knowledge. These pesky thought forms can quite literally trash your equilibrium and sanity, not to mention dilute the power and presence of your being.
Here's the thing, in order to move about in the world there are certain assumptions, based on collective agreements of agreed upon patterns and expected outcomes, that serve you:Â the direction of moving traffic, innocent till proven guilty, the existence of a higher power.
Disagreement about specific assumptions exist, but most of the world operates based on agreed upon assumptions. It's an economic use of your energy and ‘some programming' does allow day to day life to function more efficiently.
Here's the problem… many assumptions are not only not true, you are not an adherent to the collective agreement. You can step back and bemoan the situation, you can wait for something to change, you can deny that you feel the way you do or you can explore the assumption and partner for a shift in your bandwidth of perception.
We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of these assumptions. Stephen Covey
Here are four things you can try the next time you're inundated by outdated assumptions:
1. Bring your attention to your breath until you feel yourself being breathed.
2. Drop your thinking from your head to your belly. Invite infinite intelligence to occupy every cell and crevice of your being.
3. Allow the curious question to arise. There's NOTHING for you to do. Relaxing into being and open to your depths.
4. Notice the permutations of possibility that cross the inner landscape of your awareness.
In embracing the fluid nature of your being, assumptions will literally disintegrate before your very eyes. A-ha's and breakthroughs will occur. The unexpected and unconventional will visit your world.
Curiously question and embrace assumptions and Life will reward you on the ‘road less traveled.'Â Every moment is an invitation to relinquish illusion and to own the abundance of your Infinite Being.
