The half-justified mechanism of the belief

Example 4: “The half-justified mechanism of the belief” looks in the following way:

1. “The X (Osiris, Jesus, God, Allah, Iahve, Buddha, Krishna …) says that I have to do the Y thing (to get the immortality, to save myself, to get the eternal life, to illuminate myself to mix myself with the conscious of the divinity etc.), which can be given to me only by Him.

2. In order to be able to do it, I have to carry out Z conditions (to save myself, to be humble, to love the other people unconditionally etc.) among which two are more important:

- to regret the mistakes (the sins) and not to make them again;

- to pray to Him to give the Y to me.

3. So I’m not sad anymore (I am humble, I love etc.) because I want to obtain Y and I know that X is the only One who can give it to me; and He won’t give it to me if I don’t carry out the conditions Z.”

The false expectations which appear at each of these stages are:

1. “All that the X tells me should always be true, even if I haven’t checked or I can’t check anymore what I think (considering only some testimonies or judgments).” etc.

2. “All that the other people say that we should do for our wellbeing should always lead at its getting.”

3. “When somebody says that he’s the only one who can give us a certain thing, this thing should always be true.”



Observation 1: Regarding the getting of the state of interior good, we’ve seen that we are the only who can give it to us, by correcting the wrong judgments we let to manifest in us.

As if nobody can eat instead of us, similarly, nobody can correct our own judgments instead of us (without our direct or indirect participation).

Observation 2: In this case the false expectation consists in the wrong association of an effect with a certain cause; more precisely it consists in considering, wrongly, a particular manifestation of a general cause as being the only and the unique manifestation of that general cause (note: my cause has an infinity of effects and each effect an infinity of causes).

“I know that my bed is good because I’ve slept on it; besides, I also know that it is the only good bed (because you can sleep well in it) and that all the other ones (of different shapes or sizes) aren’t …” -

could say someone who doesn’t make the differences mentioned above; however if he thinks deeper, he could see that in fact, he has never checked “how is to sleep in other beds”.

Observation 3: The different beliefs of different people are usually superficial sights upon the reality and they are characterized by the misunderstanding of the mechanisms of the laws of functioning of the different existing systems.

For example: “I think that if I pray to the X (Osiris, Christ, Allah etc.) to help me to be more calm, more humble and less sad etc. (because I know that these states aren’t good for me) He will make me to feel calmer, more humble, less sad etc.”

As I’ve mentioned before, no matter of the person in which someone believes (in Osiris, Allah, Christ, Santa Claus, a Fairy or in the Shoe’s God), if he doesn’t sustain in his psyche the wrong judgments specific to the sadness, pride, anger etc., he will feel good, but he’ll have doubts and anxieties specific to “his belief” through which the supra-conscious points him out that he considers as being certain things he hasn’t checked out and that in this way he jeopardizes the harmony of his own system through the false predictions he makes upon the future evolution of the events, by taking into consideration these certain “knowledge”.

The supra-conscious points us out when we sustain in us some unchecked beliefs, doctrines and attitudes of blind trust, through specific signal of psychical suffering: anxieties, agitations, hesitation, obsessions, indecisions, psychical instability etc.

It’s only up to us if we take them into consideration in order to throw away from the psyche the different wrong judgments specific to the existential – philosophic mental (like some doctrines, non-ideals).
