Although Eratosthenes had calculated the circumference of the Earth some 200 years B.C. many still believe that the planet was flat. It wasn’t until 1492 when Christopher Columbus was willing to go beyond that belief, and beyond his direct experience, that he discovered that this wan’t so. Once he returned from his voyages that belief disappeared forever.
Beliefs are preconceived ideas through which we filter our everyday reality. In fact, we allow them to create our reality so that what we believe about life becomes our experience of life. A limiting belief system means a limited life experience of life.
The fire is a metaphor for all the challenges that we shrink from. In learning to walk unharmed across a bed of glowing coals at a firewalk, people are really learning how overcome fear, exercise powerful decision making and demonstrate personal leadership. Our blinkered vision of life lifts.
Fire walking is more than an activity, it is your journey in to the unknown, your own trans-Atlantic journey. Once you return things won’t be the same.
