Beliefs make the unknown feel more comfortable. It reduces some of the magic we experience every moment into something known & familiar. They're how we make sense of the frequency that is being perceived by our senses. They are mental constructs & hence can never be True beyond our own consciousness.
Some are simple & useful for cooperation & communication with other humans. Shared beliefs that are so ingrained & common that they're unquestioned or even perceivable. I suspect that our mind consciousness is incapable of existing without them.
I believe I think, therefore I believe I am 😆
I don't even think it's possible to experience this realm without assembling a collection of beliefs. I like to think of our beliefs as the lens on the projector that is screening our life moment by moment. If the lens is covered in distortions, the movie can be quite ugly & painful. The clearer our projector lens is, the more detail & clarity we can experience.
My goal isn't to rid my mind of beliefs but more to assemble beliefs that will provide the most joyful & expansive experience.
I was only able to get there after accepting this belief:
We (our mind consciousness) are the passengers & not the drivers of our meat suits. The driver is our Soul, our higher consciousness.
