“Part of God's work in his people is synchronizing the heart and the mind thus providing freedom from the deceit of emotion-based beliefs. Emotions are changing while truth is absolute. They don't believe simply because it sounds good, or deep, beautiful, happy, fun, cool, simple, or intelligent to them; but because it's true.” PeopleMindBelieveHeartBeautifulBeliefFunSoundSimpleEmotionTruth IsAbsolutesIntelligentDon't BelieveDeceitProviding Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“A whole lot of us go through life assuming that we are basically right, basically all the time, about basically everything: about our political and intellectual convictions, our religious and moral beliefs, our assessments of other people, our memories, our grasp of facts. As absurd as it sounds when we stop to think about it, our steady state seems to be one of unconsciously assuming that we are very close to omniscient.” PeopleThinkingStatesWholeFactsSeemsPoliticalBeliefSoundReligiousMemoriesMoralIntellectualAssumingConvictionAbsurdArroganceSteadyOur MemoriesAssessmentOmniscientMoral Beliefs Author:Kathryn Schulz
“Are science and religion converging? No. There are modern scientists whose words sound religious but whose beliefs, on close examination, turn out to be identical to those of other scientists who straightforwardly call themselves atheists.” TurnsBeliefSoundReligiousAtheismModernScientistAtheistPositive AtheismScience And ReligionExaminationIdentical Book:A Devil's Chaplain: Reflections on Hope, Lies, Science, and Love Source: A Devil's Chaplain: Reflections on Hope, Lies, Science, and Love
“Doubt is most often the source of our powerlessness. To doubt is to be faithless, to be without hope or belief. When we doubt, our self-talk sounds like this: 'I don't think I can. I don't think I will.'... To doubt is to have faith in the worst possible outcome. It is to believe in the perverseness of the universe, that even if I do well, something I don't know about will get in the way, sabotage me, or get me in the end.” IfsThinkingKnowsWayBelieveWellsI CanEndsSelfMotivationalUniverseBeliefSoundDoubtWorstSourceOutcomesHave FaithPowerlessnessWithout HopeSabotageSelf TalkFaithlessPerverseness Author:Blaine Lee Pardoe
“Newton's theory is not 'not right', it just does not cover all distances. Contrary to popular belief, theories in science are not proven wrong, they are just replaced by more complete and convenient theories. To sound provocative, even the geocentric theory was never "proven" wrong, it is just not as convenient as the heliocentric theory, since it requires endless epicycles.” DoeScienceBeliefSoundTheoryMathematicsDistanceContraryEndlessReplacedProvenConvenientNewtonProvocativeContrary To Popular BeliefProven Wrong Author:Nathan Seiberg
“Just the way sound creates visible waves as it travels through a droplet of water, our "belief waves" ripple through the quantum fabric of the universe to become our bodies and the healing, abundance, and peace-or disease, lack, and suffering-that we experience in life. And just the way we can tune a sound to change its patterns, we can tune our beliefs to preserve or destroy all that we cherish, including life itself.” WayBodySufferingUniverseBeliefPeaceSoundWaterHealingDiseaseIncludingWavePatternsPreservesAbundanceVisibleTunesCherishQuantumFabricRippleDroplets Author:Gregg Braden
“I like good ideas. I don't want just do something for it's own sake to bother people, but if I can bother them with a logical argument about something they have agreed to in society simplistically - like children are sacred, the cult of the child, this cult of professional parenthood, and of course religion, and respect for policemen and the law, and all of these untouchable areas. I like attacking those beliefs, but in with good sound thinking, and an unusual approach.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantChildrenI CanIdeasLawCoursesBeliefSoundApproachAreasArgumentSacredSakeBotherLogicalParenthoodUnusualGood IdeasCultAttackingPolicemenUntouchablesLogical Arguments Author:George Carlin
“Dilbert: Evolution must be true because it is a logical conclusion of the scientific method.
