RE: Introduction
Ohhhh Sweet,

I believe that beliefs are a left brain process of Ego; ones ability to identify themselves as a seperate individual.
I believe that if one is unaware of beliefs being part of their analog chemical computers process of identifying itself as seperate and individual, they will confuse their beliefs as being the ultimate reality, (You can see how this plays out by following Frodos threads) and consequently they will delete, distort, and generalize all incoming information to match up to their beliefs (reality).
I believe that the more steadfast that one holds to their beliefs as being "the" reality the greater the individuals pathology-usually a result of childhood repression by parents and culture.
(You can see how this plays out by watching the documentary "Jesus Camp")
I believe that this is quite dangerous to our species, that a majority of our planets population thinks their beliefs to be reality and thus beliefs are the cause of all wars and conflicts throughout history and in the world today.
(You can see how this plays out by watching FOX news, especially Sean Hannity and Glen Beck)
I believe that if an individual is aware that beliefs are simply a process of intelligence that you can create open-ended evolving beliefs that will motivate and inspire you to do great things in the world (wholeness).
I believe if one is willing to watch their thoughts that they become aware of this process, that you will discover that you have nothing to prove in the world. That you have nowhere to go, nothing to become, nothing to fight for or against because you are IT (the creator) already. That you can live and experience every moment to its fullest in the now because you are not trying to defend anything or overpower other people with your beliefs. I believe this makes me a lousy debator but a great listener.
I believe in this Forum because it allows hope for those folks who have been bamboozled by religion (belief in magic) to find their way back to the present moment, heal themselves of their pathologies, and make the world a better and much safer place to live.
I think your list of beliefs are very ethical and support your values quite nicely; I believe in you!
Peace In
