We can realise and believe things subconsciously. That is, the beliefs and perceptions are forgotten but they are still there in the recesses of the mind. The subconscious mind can realise the implications of things that are not consciously realised so it knows that certain opinions and beliefs you have, like in God or in self-sacrifice, are evil and hostile to logic and reason that will fill you with evil and manipulative tendencies. The salvation of humanity is the growth and development of the rational nature and to draw the emotions into rational expression. The evil of fear is caused by irrational thinking and ignorance and fear is the father of lies and the father of evil. Evil is non-intelligence. Intelligence in the key truths will elevate woman and man from humanity to godhood.
Belief is thinking that something is likely to be true. You should not however be saying what you believe is true, that’s arrogance, but that it is likely to be true as you see it. There is no belief without evidence only feeling that it is true which is a different thing. The more evidence you gather in relation to important matters the better it is for then the more it is you respect yourself for error can do harm and you are trying to be as safe as possible for it is better to suffer for truth than for errors or lies. Error has to be exposed for it always wastes time and energy. It often does worse than that. To leave error alone means that it’s problems and the pain of dealing with it are being relayed to somebody else and that is totally unfair. People will not be fooled forever but if you do not expose error you are increasing the harm it will do for through your silence more people will be sucked in.
Minds are for protecting ourselves by learning what is factual and how to think properly and to shield ourselves from our unruly feelings.
If we say we believe anything important and don’t have good enough evidence for it or perhaps no evidence at all then we are wounding our intelligence and therefore our whole selves for the surer we are the better. We are saying that we should live as if it were true. But it is pure self-abuse to bleed and cry about something you have insufficient evidence for or anything you have evidence for which you have not validated or checked yet. A truth cannot really be important to you if you have little evidence for it. The more agreement among people who know how to think the better. Division is a terrible thing but only truth can fix it and keep it fixed. Listen to others and they will have to listen to you and the person who does not want to hear the truth does not want to let you feel you are doing something for yourself and your own dignity and that is a most serious insult. The only time we should let others think for us is in an emergency when there is no time to do it ourselves.
