Have a humble heart & an open-mind and you’ll soon be given glimpses beyond the veil of your beliefs and understandings… growing wiser, and believing deeper.

Don’t believe everything you repeat in your mind!

It is a belief of the mediocre that extreme effort kills.

Often the truth is in front of your face, but your eyes and heart are so full of lies that you can’t see it.

Think about it for a second:Babies are not born prejudice, they are not racist,they don’t hate, they don’t judge, and are not born believing in christianity, buddhism, sikhism, hinduism, judaism or any other ism.We, as adults, teach them all these things.

Don’t water your testimony with your righteous expectations of church members. Their imperfection will disappoint you every time and cause you to leave every church you try to join.

I have always found the hardest mind to change is one that is religious.

Insanity is everyone expecting you not to fall apart when you find out everything you believed in was a lie.

A long time ago people believed that the world is flat and the moon is made of green cheese. Some still do, to this day. The man on the moon is looking down and laughing.

The most confused you will ever get is when you try to convince your heart and spirit of something your mind knows is a lie.

Sometimes you have to look past a person’s mistakes to see God’s presence.

Sometimes you can’t figure out the truth because you’re asking people that are emotionally or socially invested in you to be brutally honest. Often family or friends will tell you what you want to hear, or what they want to believe because of their emotional investment in the situation. Instead of circling the drain with...

To criticize a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous, but to criticize their religion, that is a right. That is a freedom. The freedom to criticize ideas, any ideas – even if they are sincerely held beliefs – is one of the fundamental freedoms of society. A law which attempts to say...

Reasonableness is a matter of degree. Beliefs can be very reasonable (Japan exists), fairly reasonable (quarks exist), not unreasonable (there’s intelligent life on other planets) or downright unreasonable (fairies exist).There’s a scale of reasonableness, if you like, with very reasonable beliefs near the top and deeply unreasonable ones towards the bottom. Notice a belief can...

With the right Mindset…effective thinking is automatic.

At every period of history, people have believed things that were just ridiculous, and believed them so strongly that you risked ostracism or even violence by saying otherwise. If our own time were any different, that would be remarkable. As far as I can tell it isn’t.

Words reveal your beliefs and intentions. Actions reveal your character. When they are in alignment, they reveal your greatest life.

We have successful, strong-willed, independent women who stand up for conservative, traditional values. Women are leading this movement because they’ve been raised to be unafraid….I didn’t grow up feeling oppressed. I didn’t grow up feeling like a victim.

God’s word is not just to be heard and repeated, it is to be breathed, lived, and emulated with each action.

If you want to know what your true beliefs are- take a look at your actions.

All religions lead to the same God, and all deserve the same respect. Anyone who chooses a religion is also choosing a collective way for worshipping and sharing the mysteries. Nevertheless, that person is the only one responsible for his or her actions along the way and has no right to shift responsibility for any...

I had a standing agreement with god. I’d agree to believe in him, barely, so long as he let me sleep in on Sundays.

How you look at it is pretty much how you’ll see it

Lies don’t make you happy. They just make you lie about being happy.

Everything is true for the person who believes it to be true.

People believe what they want to believe. Even if it isn’t true.

As I see it the world is undoubtedly in need of a new religion, and that religion must be founded on humanist principles. When I say religion, I do not mean merely a theology involving belief in a supernatural god or gods; nor do I mean merely a system of ethics, however exalted; nor only...

A person tends to believe whatever is repeated over and over, whether it is true or not.

I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn’t even know that I’m alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of causal chaos,...

When you hold onto a script that doesn’t serve you, you leave no space to write a new one that does.

We can either emphasize those aspects of our traditions, religious or secular, that speak of hatred, exclusion, and suspicion or work with those that stress the interdependence and equality of all human beings. The choice is yours. (22)

Alice laughed. ‘There’s no use trying,’ she said. ‘One can’t believe impossible things.’I daresay you haven’t had much practice,’ said the Queen. ‘When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. There goes the shawl again!

[I]t kind of terrified me to imagine myself spending the rest of my life tinkering on the margins of the small arguments.

When it comes to controlling human beings there is no better instrument than lies. Because, you see, humans live by beliefs. And beliefs can be manipulated. The power to manipulate beliefs is the only thing that counts.

Beliefs are conclusions reached by men who are lazy to think for themselves.

…into hate, into refusal, against hope and without fear

If you are noticing your desires are not coming to fruition, it is time to dive into the unconscious world to discover what other belief may be stronger.

Culture is the sum of the values, beliefs and assumptions of human groups.

I’m not out to disturb anybody’s faith. I happen to be happy and comfortable with a belief system that has a dual deity and operates on a lunar schedule. It suits my needs. If you happen to be happy and comfortable with a belief system that features a single masculine deity and operates on a...

Hope is a belief in a better tomorrow.,

Your life is your statement to the world representing your values, your beliefs, your dreams.

When making a point, there are 2 types of people who may disagree with you: those who can support their reasons, and the childish ones who are too worried about being told what to do.

As More says, it hardly makes a man a hero, to agree to stand and burn once he is chained to a stake. I have written books and I cannot unwrite them. I cannot unbelieve what I believe. I cannot unlive my life. pg.404

We only give credence to that which we can prove exists. Since we cannot find evidence that gods, miracles, and other supernatural things are real, we do not trouble ourselves about them. If that were to change, if Helzvog were to reveal himself to us, then we would accept the new information and revise our...

… researchers argue that it’s of utmost importance to unravel the nature of black holes, lest we someday begin to worship them. Sounds ridiculous, but whole segments of humankind have often revered the unknowable, venerating that which cannot be tested experimentally. Come to think of it, many still do in twenty-first-century society.

We are not victims of our genes, but masters of our fates, able to create lives overflowing with peace, happiness, and love.

Environment provides us with many cultures. From each we identify our beliefs that give us our values. From our values we pick up our choices and our choices bring out our character. Our characters make us to lead!

If love had feathers and tasted like dog food, then I suggest you wear shoes with your banana pudding. (This statement also defines my political beliefs).

A strong positive mind is an unbreakable shield against all negative forces and experiences. It never bargains for anything that goes against its true destiny in life. It sees life as an inevitable journey of happiness and success in abundance. Therefore, you should make it your daily ritual to introduce your subconscious mind to some...

They are moved less by the direct presence of their gods than by the more indirect feeling that they would somehow like their gods to be present.
