The concept of Belief

Not what do you believe, but what is it to believe?


  • To Believe is Power of Consciousness

    To believe is to hold power. There are no other sentient beings in existence that can believe. Stars don't believe that they shine, Dogs don't believe that they bark, and trees don't believe that their branches sway in the wind. They do not believe because they do not have that power. Good thing too. Imagine if your dog believed he was a cat-- you'd have a psychotic pet. Believe is a tremendous power that only humans are capable of. Look at what you are entitled to believe: you can believe that Santa Claus lives in the North Pole, you can believe that the Universe is infinite, you can believe that you are you. And who are you, BTW? You can believe ANYTHING you want. THAT IS POWER. Because who you really are is just another being like a lion, tree or star who can make-believe oneself into something else it really isn't.

    Belief is when you place your heart and soul into something. To believe is to place all faith in something, and never look back on other things that may harm your belief. You place everything in a belief, and you then live out that belief, no matter what it is.

  • Open Mind

    A belief is in fact strongly persuaded by everyone everywhere. No matter what belief you have, others will either follow, stand in the middle ground, or dismiss it for false. So my belief entales the concept of no unknowns in the world. The reality of me, and breaking down the illusions that set forth to drive me into "conformity." The belief that life itself has nothing wrong with it. For everything on this earth with a mind, is the changing point in this world. All life without a mind, lives peaceful in bliss and serenity. No fear, no judgement, no real significance to dwell upon. They are just free to flow in the world and "become" life. That is what we are all in the big picture. Before we were born life was in us, while we are on this earth, we are life, and when we die, yes, we are life. To truely percieve this belief entitles an open reality to life. The orginal happiness on this earth, that no one has the insight to destroy. The capable belief that life is here and now, and that YOU are life.

  • well...

    belief in my opinion is to have faith in something , it acknowledging it , feeling it and even breathing it ... now this may have a positive or negative significance... one can have faith in anything , be it good or evil ... now the tricky part is knowing exactly what it is you are putting your trust in ...

    Belief is expressing faith in something in which you don't have proof. Knowing is confidence that a thing is true. For example, I believe it will snow tomorrow and I know it is snowing now. It is as simple as that!
