Beliefs Quotes

“If a person relies too much on authority outside of themselves, it is very easy to lose yourself in that routine. That routine ‘in time’ becomes unconscious and those unconscious beliefs become invisible to the self. These unconscious beliefs then create bridges to a certain kind of understanding, but they also block you from perceiving other possibilities. If that external authority and those unconscious beliefs are never examined, then we can become imprisoned within cages that were created by others.”

“Kuan Yin Speaks on Reincarnation: “Beliefs are so powerful that they can create expansive or entrapping lifetimes over and over…Another life offers another opportunity, a chance to switch flavors so to speak. Taking oneself too personally, however, can cause a soul to get caught up, stuck in redundancy: in a particular (and perhaps unfortunate) flavor. In such instances, the individual is forgetting one has the ability to choose from a variety of flavors, lives!”

“The world brought into being by people through their (installed) belief systems can be manipulated by anyone—or anything—powerful and knowledgeable enough to pull the right emotional strings to produce … the desired beliefs!”

“The scout isn’t indifferent. A scout might hope to learn that the path is safe, that the other side is weak, or that there’s a bridge conveniently located where his forces need to cross the river. But above all, he wants to learn what’s really there, not fool himself into drawing a bridge on his map where there isn’t one in real life. Being in scout mindset means wanting your “map”—your perception of yourself and the world—to be as accurate as possible. Of course, all maps are imperfect simplifications of reality, as a scout well knows. Striving for an accurate map means being aware of the limits of your understanding, keeping track of the regions of your map that are especially sketchy or possibly wrong. And it means always being open to changing your mind in response to new information. In scout mindset, there’s no such thing as a “threat” to your beliefs. If you find out you were wrong about something, great—you’ve improved your map, and that can only help you.”

“A true religious person should not think that “my religion alone is the right path and other religions are false.” Other religions are also so many paths leading to the same domain of transcendental bliss.”

“Wokeism's impact on free speech is particularly pronounced in its tendency to enforce a rigid conformity of thought. When dissenting opinions are met with cancel culture, it fosters an environment where individuals fear expressing their true beliefs, hindering the open exchange of ideas that is essential for societal growth. It's crucial to uphold the principle that even controversial or satirical expressions, such as those found in comedy, contribute to the rich tapestry of dialogue and should not be muzzled in the name of ideological purity.”

“What we believe can empower us as well as limit us. If, for example, you believe you cannot perform a good remote viewing session unless you have had a 30-minute meditation, this may limit your ability to perform unless you have the necessary time. If you are told and believe that remote viewing cannot provide text and numbers from a target, this will set up a limiting boundary. Be careful what you accept as beliefs. Question what you read (including this book) and test your assumptions, and those of others, for yourself.”

“So the question becomes, If you are ever faced with this choice are you willing to die for what you believe in? For that is the only way you will deny him. [...] It's a difficult question and not one you can answer until you're faced with it. Keep in mind that many people have died for their beliefs; it's actually quite common. The real courage is in living and suffering for what you believe.”

“Student: Master, I met a man today, he doubted his faith, I felt sorry for him. Master: I am not sad for him, on the contrary, I am happy for him! Be sure of your own name, but don't be sure of your faith! Disciple: Should I also be suspicious of this belief we learned in the temple? Master: Of course! What we believe today may be completely invalid tomorrow! Everything changes, beliefs too!”

“Try to think. Don't be imprisoned by century-old beliefs and dogma. Don't try to go to heaven, but make this beautiful world a heaven. Only you can make your world a hell with your beliefs and actions. Remember, there is no heaven or hell up there or down there, those are lies, it is all in your world. Your life is short, time is limited, so don’t waste your life just by following others. Remember, life has never been better than today, only you can make it worse by living in the past and forgetting to live in the present moment.”

“Rituals slow time; the names we give acts and the beliefs that undergird those acts contribute to a sense of order. Accepting an order produced by a power holder— internalizing its assumptions about duty, honor, and justice— delivers a stable form of obedience. Power is thus most effective when it is invisible.”

“Religion is a belief with a set of rules, regulations, and rituals created by someone with his thoughts, imaginations, experiences, and wisdom. Most religions bring about positive changes for society. Spirituality is a perception of inner truth, inner beauty, and inner reality. Spirituality involves trusting your own experiences.”

“Los científicos e individuos de finales del siglo veinte son altamente creyentes, tanto como los científicos de antaño, lo único que ha cambiado es el objeto de su fe, los tradicionales creían en principios universales que regían el cosmos visible e invisible, enseñanzas y técnicas trasmitidas de generación en generación por hombres que se dedicaban a la concentración, la meditación y el estudio, que vivían en el bosque o en monasterios y templos apartados del dinero y del ruido. Los científicos actuales creen con la misma intensidad que sus antepasados, pero no en esos principios metafísicos y universales que les parecen supercherías, sino en el poder de medicaciones químicas, aunque se retiren años después; en el poder de protección de vacunas y antibióticos... en el poder del dinero para crear la realidad más falsa de todas por definición... y en definitiva en el Sistema que es quien les ha creado, quien les mantiene y el que un día les fagocitará.”

“We lived in a mist of half-shared, unreliable perception, and our sense data came warped by a prism of desire and belief, which tilted our memories too. We saw and remembered in our own favour and we persuaded ourselves along the way. Pitiless objectivity, especially about ourselves, was always a doomed societal strategy. We're descended from the indignant, passionate tellers of half truths who in order to convince others, simultaneously convinced themselves. Over generations success had winnowed us out, and with success came our defect, carved deep in the genes like ruts in a cart track – when it didn't suit us we couldn't agree on what was in front of us. Believing is seeing. That's why there are divorces, border disputes and wars, and why the statue of the Virgin Mary weeps blood and the one of Ganesh drinks milk. And that was why metaphysics and science were such courageous enterprises, such startling inventions, bigger than the wheel, bigger than agriculture, human artifacts set right against the grain of human nature. Disinterested truth. But it couldn't save us from ourselves, the ruts were too deep. There could be no private redemption in objectivity.”
