Why are humans so confident in beliefs that can’t be proven?
Why do you think some people are so little critical?
What do you think makes these people start believing blindly in a concept?
What is the mechanism and the reason for superficial confidence in one's beliefs?

I believe religion is bondage
I also believe it is evil
I don't like holidays
I think it's all a false abomination
everything is cultish - it bothers me

Can you give some examples of beliefs that can be proven?

Because many that seem as if they are blindly believing have had direct experiences to the contrary. They are not blind at all.
(I am not a fan of Blind Faith, btw. I believe seeing is believing.)
Another reason is they are 'Right Brainers'...the artistic, intuitive side of the brain
Left Brainers do not understand Right Brainers.
Another reason - Right Brainers have a 'memory chip'  in that Hemisphere that allows them to remember
past life knowledge they gleaned of how the Universe works...meditating for decades and/or sitting
at the feet of a Master many lives, for instance.
Left Brainers usually, imo, have been intellectual and logic leaners for many lives...making it very hard
to be flexible in matters of the Unseen.
From what I have learned? We are all in our perfect places.
My take, hope it helps a little.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

'proof' basically boils down to whether you can say words that will get someone to agree with your position. Some people are allowed that luxury, others aren't. Who knows why?

Made me think of Matias Stefano from Gaia tv. That ad has been popping up a lot.
I saw you in the Dolores Cannon thread!

When one comes into this world, nothing is proven to you. One has to make do with little more than instinct and experience (of which one has practically none). Experience of course builds over time. By the the time we encounter 'proofs', much of how life works out is already reasonably modeled. Even with the 'proven' tool available later in life, one finds most things are neither proven nor dis-proven. This requires us to rely on different methods to interpret the world and what to believe in. So as 'proving' is only one of many tools its not surprise that many people choose to rely on other tools. These other tools have worked until now, why switch to that which is 'proven'?

Yeah, I meant it exactly like that.
I have my own connotative interpretation of the quote.

Beliefs can be proven to the extent that the current mind barriers permit by active observing and critical assessment with doubt and attempt to discern the intentions of the ones that suggest the belief, and if it comes from the Self, then analysis of the emotional background.
Such people may still get confused but at least it is not literal assimilation of propaganda etc. I.e. the fairytale impressionism.

We have a pattern seeking brain that sees structure everywhere and even 'meaning' in things, sometimes in all things ((this is true for the hardcore religious people)).
It is usually easier to believe in things and take comfort in that, than it is to question things and accept you don't have perfect knowledge. We seek comfort and security because it often reduces pain and conflict.
There is no true certainty and you have to do the work yourself. Belief and faith are different from that. Nihil verum est licet omnia... |
