Knowing Your Own Kind

Why is 'belief' such a big deal for ideologies and religious fraud?

No doubt we can admit of the reality of things unseen but nonetheless intellectually observed as consistent performances of matter and dynamics - these are principles, or theorems (EG of geometry). But they do not require our 'belief' in order to solidify their reality.

...They are in fact real.

If I know someone very well I do not need to believe in them.

If this person were not a model,
you could know a lot about them.
If what you were looking at was a real
person in their real life.

The force that is employed in the human mind to establish some repetitious mind or thought pattern - absent of factual reality that is palpably observed (IE by the senses) - is 'belief.' And not just belief but belief augmented by emotions drawn into the equation.

And it is a force, and also can be forceful.

To be a force, a thing has to have energy applied to it and through it.

The human being has living energy of its own, developed within itself as a dynamic and alive material organism.

When you stand back a little and look at it, there is no necessity for ideas alone to somehow magically create energy and install that energy into a human being.

A threat that does contain real risk can turn on the human's own energy though...

And the in-built desire of humans to be within a social grouping also initiates organic though at first latent energy - we can see this in the madness and mass delusion of crowds.

On the one hand those individuals who are called 'ultra introverts' mostly all spend late nights up and alone doing their own thing - and this is regarded as rare, more-or-less anti-social, and aberrant behavior - on the other hand when the dark sets in you can the better see the stars...

In this case we want to be talking and thinking about 'your own kind;' noticing and discerning what you are harmonically most in tune with.

In the usual daily walk of human life, mostly what you see is desperation, mindless stubborn and willful determination, opposition, striving, poverty of time - struggle, basically.

The supposedly richest people are always characterized in modern social propaganda as 'hard workers' - and they have secretaries to 'schedule their day!'

This is not alcohol.
This is barrel-aged maple
syrup!

And yet somehow with no logic to it at all, people still gravitate towards large groups of other 'typical' human beings, in order to seek friendship, sense-of-community (as they say everywhere now in typical group-speak/group-think academia), and social approbation. 

Naturally then, of course people are required to have 'belief.'

They do not have a rational knowledge whose hypothesis is continuously proven by the consistent outcomes of the positive behaviors by others, towards them.

In the first place a person needs to understand themselves sufficiently, and then be able to perceive and discern those qualities and characteristics in other persons, and then there can be an harmonic link. Which is not to say it is anything esoteric or mysterious - it's just the obvious equivalency being entertained by a person's mind between their own known personal selves, and the witnessed external other 'selves' of different people around them or near to them or far from them but still known to them.

There is nothing here at all requiring 'belief' to concretize anything.

Ultra introvert's
nocturnal life...

The proof is in someone's consistency and thus by linear extension over time, reliability. To tell oneself something must happen regarding some other, some external object of intellect, some other living person - at some moment in the future - is a function of a term we call faith not belief.

Either that other person always does do certain things in terms of the intrinsic rationality and logic of the given dynamics involved, or they are unpredictable and arbitrary and moved about by vague random whimsies and/or else maybe even intense primitive atavistic emotions springing from transparent and sometimes hidden private causes.

One person will always help you, another person might not (always).

It does not matter if super advanced ET Aliens come down with their super-advanced 'ultra' technology civilization - it matters that you can have faith in them and in order to be able to do that you would really need to know them for a long time!

...In other words, they should have been here before.
