What To Believe

WHAT TO BELIEVE Imagination! powerful brain creation that can seem quite real has been used to fashion gods and other scary notions memory function! amazing brain retrieval of past happenings that may or may not be true or perhaps wishful thinking I 'member my dog a sweet little dachshund pup but can imagine him as a protective wolf glad to give his life for me confirmed evidence! without whiich we are guessing, the basis for fact not only is it tested but also repeatable as a little child I "saw" a nighttime creature with horns and a tail my dad turned on all the lights and we never confirmed it visibility! might seem needed for belief but air is still real although I've never seen it- love is invisible, too you might just conclude if prayers are not answered the reason may be they are heard but not valued. or there's no one listening you might believe life is not a dependency on a dictator but an opportunity for us to do it ourselves a sense of freedom is a welcome attribute of personal life free of any delusion of invisible spying your very good friends may "know" what is best for you, but you will soon find it's whatever they've chosen to be the best for themselves so it remains true- you choose your belief system with complete freedom. no one can criticise you or claim that you don't get it nothing tops the joy of discovering beliefs through your own efforts that also means it's OK to edit them on your own Richard Ramette
