Core beliefs greatly differ to what the conscious mind perceives as a belief system. Human nature encourages 'prove it to me and I will believe it' but with core beliefs active there is no need to prove anything as the conscious awareness is of knowing it is there and that it practices work.
There is sadness too; as the human being steps back from pathways it was familiar with; onto pathways it once walked before human belief systems were forced on it. These pathways are challenging in nature to the human being; but second nature and well walked by the awareness of the true self. Life is no longer the same, for when the human being is in the 'hermit' stage, the core belief vibrations repel anyone and everyone who fail to match the vibration of consciousness existing around the spiritual energy that is encompassing the human being. Only those close to that vibration will be around the reclusive human being. And it will be a difficult time adjusting to life with a new set of perceptive parameters. But over time the reclusive human will integrate again.
But only once balance is restored after such a mighty transition in its life. The needs it had before are no more. Its attention is drawn back to the inner planes ... and the open doors to the multi dimensions of self.
