So I got 1 no you dont need to believe and 2 yes you do. I think about Metta-meditation and how you can go into this meditation and not believe in it's power but it still does work. Metta-meditation is meditating on loving kindness for others including your enemies. This meditation always generates loving kindness whether or not you believe it does. I believe belief can help in the process and possibly speed it up. But I'm not so sure it is required. Like I said I chanted "I am at peace, I am calm." and I didnt believe in my heart it would work I was quite neutral in my beliefs about it and it still generated peace and calmness in me. I saw in the Secret that you can attract things to you that you dont want just by thinking you dont want them. Where does belief fit in that equation?
