The Law of Belief: a Work in Progress

Denying the relevance of faith is essentially a blind faith in the irrelevance of faith.

Beliefs can be determined by experiences, but they also determine the experiences. Like this:

Logical way: Hypothesis-->test-->result-->knowledge/future expectation/belief.

New way: Belief in the context of a deliberate feeling tone-->events/effects corresponding to the belief-->knowledge. (it ends in knowledge because there is proof--no doubts.)

I got some feedback from a friend on the sentence ''belief can't be 'tested,' only trusted, because belief is not the same as knowledge.''


So, what I mean by ''belief can't be 'tested,' '' is this: if you approach belief with doubts/uncertainty, as are intrinsic to ''testing'' something, then you're already putting those beliefs of doubt and uncertainty to work, as they taint a ''test'' which is really designed for a theory, hypothesis, law, etc. Beliefs accomplish something--always-- even if it's to deactivate the power of belief. Beliefs ''begin'' things. Knowledge needs something to happen first, and then it can exist. Beliefs are creative, knowledge is reactive.

Beliefs are creative, hypotheses/theories are responsive. To set about testing a belief is to instantly convert it into a hypothesis/theory, because you can't out-think yourself.


Belief is not necessarily dependent on observed conclusions, but it can be, if we choose for it to be so. Belief is influenced by anything we choose to believe about it; and choice is a function of awareness, and belief affects awareness and potentially much more than anyone has ever imagined before. If you try to disprove the power of belief, you will be inundated with proof that belief is powerless. So, basically, our belief about belief affects the power of belief, whose effects and fullness of potentials are yet unknown.

Belief is an inescapable creative action, in that it is an action that is always chosen, one way or another, and it always produces effects after its own kind. It is a law unto itself that knows only its own fulfillment. The most ''effective'' belief is the most unadulterated, free of even the tiniest little weeds of contrary beliefs.
