Beliefs Quotes

“It is in our nature that if someone points out our fault, we immediately resist and justify ourselves and try to prove the other person wrong by advancing logic and reasons that support our beliefs. If we don't have reasons to support our faith, we avoid any discussion and even ignore the person, but we try to always hold on to our beliefs. The only way we can change our belief is when we ourselves realise our mistakes.”

“Hell is something you carry around with you, not somewhere you go to. So is heaven, that's why you can create either of them here. We have created the hell we are living in, we can create heaven too. But how can we create this heaven when we don't even agree or take responsibility of the fact that we created the hell we experience now? Religion already convinced us that external deities control our world and the course of our lives making us irresponsible and make us unable to effect a positive change. We need to start shedding those religious beliefs, starting from the root, "you were not born evil", your original nature is not 'sin”

“Your beliefs affect your choices. Your choices shape your actions. Your actions determine your results. The future you create depends upon the choices you make and the actions you take today.”

“The dismaying truth is that birtherism is part of a larger pattern of rejection of reality that has taken hold of intimidating segments of one of the two political parties that alternate in power in our governing institutions. It is akin to the view that global warming is a hoax, or that the budget can be balanced through spending cuts alone, or that contraception causes abortion, or that evolution is just another theory, on a par with the theory that the earth is six thousand years old.”

“Beliefs define the way we see reality. They filter what we look at, how we interpret events, and what we believe is possible. Two people can witness the same situation and walk away with entirely different conclusions, because they’re each seeing through the lens of their own inner world.”

“The moment we shift the frequency we live from, life begins to rearrange itself around that new vibration. It does not always do so with fireworks or dramatic signs. More often, it meets us in quieter ways — situations that stretch us, opportunities that beckon us forward, old patterns rising to be released.”

“Fear is a signal to pay attention. It is often the psyche’s way of gathering momentum for change. When we label fear as negative, we push it away and miss its deeper message. But when we recognise it as pure energy — neither good nor bad — we can direct that energy towards growth and movement.”

“Like all the other defense mechanisms, delusion is invisible to us, making it a serious problem: we don't know we are deluded. We live in an unreal world based on our delusions, but we see that unreal world as reality. Because we can't afford to hear the facts about our lives as they really are, we often get very angry with people who try to point out any fallacies in our delusions. This position leaves us very vulnerable, since both reality itself and anyone with a strong sense of reality tend to threaten the view we have of our world. People in delusion tend to isolate themselves from those who might reveal the truth about their lives.”

“We depend on our description of the world for everything we perceive. As a result, nothing new can be allowed to threaten that description; we hold onto it with all our might. So, what happens when we encounter new events and new people, and we form new memories?”

“Self-knowledge, which comes from within, gradually change our beliefs and drops those beliefs which are false and stupid. After being cleared off all the dirt acquired by us in the form of second-hand knowledge in our early age, we can directly see the reality, through our own eyes, through our own heart and mind, as our mind gets unconditioned. It is this mind that is rightly compared to God, as such a consciousness is pure, having been cured of all ignorance and darkness and we come close to our true self—Atman or soul.”
