Belief, value and faith.

A new born baby does not have any data in a brain memory. Entry begins as he or she grows. He receives information from the environment through the body’s sense organs. His interpretation of the information along with his experience would retain into his memory. Therefore all the information is not recorded in its original forms but stored with his added perception and experience of the information. When he experiences similar information repeatedly he feels that it is the only truth and that becomes his belief.

When we come across different environments and come in contact with different people, objects or events; the old memories play back in the mind. Internal sound or vision influences us while receiving and understanding new information. Mind accepts only that information which can suitably pass through the sieve of its beliefs. Things which do not fit completely with ones belief are separated out and rejected by mind. If open rejection is not possible, it is retained with an added disliking.

Belief is built on perception of information along with its experience. If the information is wrong or its perception is wrong, then the belief could be wrong. An individual belief can be wrong but beliefs of groups of people, belief of larger part of the world could not have been built up without a strong base. If the base of a belief is imperfect or wrong, it cannot become the belief of the entire mankind, even if it becomes, it cannot prevail for thousands and millions of years.

In all the countries of the world, all the religions and human civilizations, over thousands of years, most people equally believe in the existence of our soul, life after death, spirit of the dead, re-incarnation and omnipresence of God. They believe in intuition, clairvoyance, mental telepathy, voice of soul, divine speech. Such similar experience of large groups of people itself is a scientific universal phenomenon.

It is true that we believe what we see, hear or experience, but we also have the beliefs which we cannot see, hear and experience. Many things are not directly seen or heard by us but we have an intrinsic knowledge of their existence. We are inspired to believe in certain things from within. That is our internal realization. We may call it value of life. We have many values like relationship ethics, religious codes and conducts, social moral and culture etc. We value our mother and father, our land and nation, social ethics and morals, our religion and God. Human being has strong bond of values, therefore one can neither break the value nor can see the value being broken. Perhaps value could be an extended form of the belief. The value system is built on experience of traditional culture or could have been descended through heritage. It may also be God gifted, in the form of pattern of DNAs in the genes passed on through generations.

When we feel that some one is with us, somebody cares for us, helps us, protects us, provides the energy of life and loves us unconditionally, that feeling has created our belief that there is God and he hears our prayers. It is a hope and reliance with certainty. It is a knowing without any reason and believed in without any proof. This is faith, a strongest form of our belief. Faith on God is unconditional and it is always a loving adoration.

Therefore, belief is a pre-structured or projected present in the mind. It is an expected reality intended to see in the present. To understand how the belief creates reality you may read the book “Self Elevation: creating wealth, wisdom and peace”.
