Our Belief Systems

Belief System: Can we trust our belief system? What is your belief system? Where do our belief systems originate? What has the highest impact in determining our belief system? How can we change our belief system? Is it even possible? How can people believe in truths without evidence?  

Quote:

"A Belief is not merely an idea the mind possesses it is an idea that possesses the mind." Robert Oxton Bolton

Quote:

"Your mind is right now filled with old thoughts not only old thoughts, but mostly someone else old thoughts. It’s important now—it’s time now—to change your mind about some things. This is what evolution is all about." Conversations with God?

"We all have within our root system a bunch of convoluted fantasies or beliefs of that which is called reality. We have a belief system riddled with at most half-truths. We need to undertake a journey called self-discovery is assessing these fallacies and be willing to change, thus to grow.

He or she who are rooted in the past beliefs are a hindrance with social progress. Indoctrination into dogma comes from multiple sources. Dogma conceivably can occur in a family's system of beliefs as well mores. It also comes from another from another direction like patriotism and religious beliefs, all of this before the person possesses or can be taught critical thinking.

There really in the beliefs we hold sacred as well dear in heart lie cognitive distortions of fact and reality thus an invalidity. Very much of what is truly so fervently, passionately and in the held systems of belief are only opinion and unsubstantiated truisms. In fact they are in factual sense merely hypothesis with a way one lives and so views our world.

It really is a in metaphor explanation the perceptions we think to be true blown 'Unto a Big Theater Screen' called life. There is not any that manifestly do know truth for the truth and the real nature of so called reality is above our knowledge. It is certain that we shall indeed never stop growth and with this new perception and theory on a nature of what is called real will readily make some new evolution.

Humanity must have an open soul absorbing the newest discovery. We need desperately an outgrowth of religious indoctrination which happens being many upon untold hundreds and even unto many thousand ages old. Definitely we have a necessity of outgrowing past wisdom following the Constitution with its amendments as times change.

Hence it is a growing document and not stagnant and grounded in dogma. it does change and is a changing document. Religion on another basis holds to be children needing an outgrowing and to sprout wings of fight freed of dogma, belief system that were placed even prior of them to be written. Holding on to this fervently is a sign of quite the limitation in growth. 

We need a belief so to anchor plus put a direction as well a meaning for life but there can not be an expense with critical and open-mindedness to new ideas, honor the diversity in people and a respect for people's varied perception in reality.

"(1) We all live in different perceptual realities and for each of these people living in these different perceptual realities, it is their reality. 

(2) Each has a different path. 

(3) If something doesn't make sense on the surface there is an unconscious reason. It is because you are using your own vantage point or your definition of reality, your own perceptual reality. 

(4) Thus we condemn or judge or fear what doesn't make sense to us. But see we are different bubbles of perception, all of us bouncing our own personal version of reality against another perceptual realism and truism, for them at least.

Nihilists popular in the 1800' had the concept of believing nothing but we need a foundation or risk a form metaphorically typed insanity. We all need a foundation of belief about the world we live in. However this is but the start point. There are some who hold on to set beliefs and don't change, adapt or evolve.

It's not possible for they do not see outside the lenses of their limited perceptions. They in effect hold on to dogma and aren't in preparation of societal changes. In order to change plus grow to evolve into a phoenix and take wing one must be as a bending Willow Tree. 

To choose to take the position of the might Oak Tee secure and in its comfort of per-conceptualized beliefs, they are as unyielding as a mighty Oak and will only bring invariably be left behind in the mists of time as unyielding and pitied. In a type parable a wind storm does come.

The mighty Oak won't bend, so in this scenario will become wrecked. The Willow shall duly bend to weather the storm of life. It can adapt, change and incorporate brand new vistas by change. It does not take the position of always being right. Rather the Willow grows in the sunshine of change.

All the adversities of life will only give it new lessons to ponder and actualize, it cannot be shook. All the huffing and puffing of life brings will not stunt its invariable growth to maturity, transformation and evolution of the human conscious.

 'Stumbling blocks to change as well more. This is for either believer or non-believer to convert the other. it's not gonna happen. it's your reality and not theirs. Are they going to change your belief systems? Of course not.' In essence, you will not change one iota another point of view and neither will they to you.

It's an endless monkey chasing it's tail. Rather accept each others differences, learn communicate and diversity and work together. Arguing is simply bashing your own head into a wall. And if you are in a 'debate' with an individual.

Both parties are bashing their head into a wall till blood starts streaming, but your both endlessly bashing different walls. One is at the North wall and the other the South wall. Nothing accomplished for there was no bridge to connect to the other person's reality. 

"(1) Our belief system have generational folk knowledge that does not possess scientific viability. 

(2) Blind spots of awareness that we all have. Other people can see things we can't and so we have a tendency of scoffing, fighting, warding off and toward dismissive. It's not in our perceptual awareness and I might say a limited perception of a truism of what is real. 

(3) Cognitive Dissonance prevents change because if a person is met with the unfamiliar, strange, different Etc. they are uncomfortable and so seek to disquiet the discomfort in a reactionary and not cognitively clinical examination to look within one's self first. 

(4) Defensive Mechanisms designed to not look at areas inside us that might harbor pain and so we instinctively avoid this. 

(5) Being of a Dogmatic and rigid stance. Thus not open and resistant to change. 

(6) A serious gap in education and knowing the new dimensional of thought. As discussed earlier at least training a cognitive mindful approach. In addition teaching the lacking emotional intelligence's along with communication, conflict resolution, recognizing what a distortion in the thought pattern is and empathy. 

(7) Lack of Empathy in society that may be of use to facilitate communication and open bridges to understand differences. 

(8) We instinctively fear the unknown. We have a tendency to say to ourselves, Well I know my (reality) perceptual reality and if I do these changes it will be discomforting and I might lose out and I'll end up worse off.

We don't want to give up what we already have as a right, possession, not equalization but up higher on a rung of a ladder and hierarchy as well ego steps into the room, sharing, or position of power. 

(9) We all have a distorted lens of perception of reality. Think of the Hubble telescope. It's due to fear and hurts. So all of many various factors: The defenses, overcompensation and not addressing problem areas. 

(10) We are a reactive species. it probably is in the DNA of 100, 000 years of our forebears. They had to be at constant vigilance. We aren't behaviorally adept with the more actualized proactive stance. 

(11) it all begins in our childhood. Dysfunctional parents, and distortions and the faulty beliefs. The schema are then placed in the software I.E. our experiences. The more dysfunctional the more problematic.
