Beliefs

Sometimes coming out of meditation, when we return to the rational, everyday mind we see that beliefs are often made out of whole cloth, with no substance whatsoever and they can be dismissed as having no actual basis in fact or reality. Beliefs about ourselves - ones that seem "innate" to us, to our make up, are most often those we've adopted in childhood from very early on, earlier than we can even remember, so we do not have an idea as to the nature of their adoption - did we choose it... if so... how, and how do we "unadopt" it.
