be-lieve be-lief

be-lief - (noun) That which we want to be
         from be-lieve - (verb) to want something to be something else
all beliefs are personal fears
the beliefs are collective
being the results of experiences
that have collected in the impersonal consciousness
belief in god, in goodness and evil, right and wrong
strong and weak. all dualistic experiences become beliefs
that one half acts as a control or reaction to the other
and one must choose to defend one or the other as if
reality depended on their actions.groups form around these
beliefs and create agreement, from this are born societies,
governments and justice systems, each with their sets of
detailed beliefs in increasingly intricate and contradictory
relationships. Out of this mass of compacted beliefs men
are programmed, also intricately balanced and full of
contradictions and failures that they believe are what make
themselves real and purposeful. and for these beliefs, as
confused as they are, men are willing to fight to the death.
this is reflected in every interaction people have. They compare
belief systems and belief feelings for their very lives are
based on the cherishing of these long and wrongly held notions.
And even when everyone changes to a new belief system,
the old ones remain, underneath, waiting for the chance to say
I Told You So!
