True belief doesn't come to you, it comes out from inside of you. If we can live from our true beliefs, we will then find that God is the one that has placed them within our heart for us to try to verify the truth of them, by living them from his love.
What do I believe?
Well, outwardly I believe in nothing, inwardly I am still finding my truths, as I experience them from this love of God's, and I am still in the process of establishing them as my beliefs then, both inwardly and outwardly.
Beliefs then are a matter of demonstration, and to be real they must be filled with God's love.
Outer beliefs in physical laws such as the law of gravity and of the truth of mathematical concepts, bear little credence or real value, compared to the inner certainty of following one of our own truths, that we fully believe in.
The laws of nature are only observable beliefs of others that we also of course tend to believe in. If we do believe in the beliefs of others, it is these very same beliefs that will then limit us.
A master such as Jesus is not restricted by any man made beliefs such as this. Jesus could walk on water, and he could turn five plus two into not just seven, but into an infinite number when he wanted to. He did this of course when he multiplied five small loaves off bread and two equally small fish into an enormous bounty of food that then fed more than five thousand people, and he was then left with that much left over again, besides.
Sometimes we have to let go of some of our own knowledge in order to allow some new room for our new beliefs.
Sigmund Freud, the well known founder of the psychoanalytic school of psychiatry once said that,
'' Just as no one can be forced into belief, so no one can be forced into unbelief.''
It is very true in my case as well, I believe in nothing, and nobody will ever force me to believe in anything different.
I have never needed belief.
Why is it that I have never needed belief? I would rather not believe in anything, that I have not yet fully proven for myself.
The rather subtle point that I have missed for most of my life is that beliefs do not have to be proven. They have to be more lived from the conviction of our trusting deeply in God. God can never be proven to yourself, except by accepting the God that is within yourself, being you.
Belief must come before the ability to know, and is its first step. When you believe in possibility, the possibility opens its door for you then, and wide enough for you to now go
