How Our Beliefs Shape Our Actions in the World

One day a friend told me a strange phenomenon: add your birth date (eg 1955 = 55 years old) and it to your age (you will be 56 years old this year, for example); they I always do addition 111. My friend tried it, this is true. I understand that the math behind it is simple, but the explanation of my friend is on a very different plane. "Take a look at how we relate to each other, fans, artists and travelers around the world are completely caring and bringing in life. Everyone expresses her passion for life and kindness If it shares, the world will be warmer, while she is not based on science, sometimes "rational facts" are considered magical and spiritual.
I mailed the explanation to her in the second half of the day. As my son pointed out, this is very simple: your date of birth is the number of years of life in the last century and the birth age is the number of years since then; the total is 100, and our total Any. It will be 112 in 2011 or 111 - next year. I want to eliminate her idea because this interpretation will give her all the discounts she says.
But then I started thinking about my interpretation of her, as well as the role of magic or mythical thinking and science. As a scientist, I think science is always the best, is this always the same? Her passion for "111" and other mysterious mythical ideas are very positive. Look at our similarities and interrelationships. The chain reaction created by this understanding will bring greater tolerance, equality and compassion among us. The relationship with our "beliefs" is increasingly aware of the possibility that it may be more important than beliefs and knowledge itself.
Joseph Campbell wrote the power of myths for a long time. I began to see how my beliefs - our myths - provide us with an understanding of what is unknown (in my friend this is a strange phenomenon in 111). If we believe that there is sympathy, love, and useful behavior, these beliefs may be beneficial to the whole person and to the whole human race. If our beliefs create intolerance, inequality, hatred, you probably want to abandon them. However, we need to study how we relate to our beliefs. It is probably not just to exclude it as facts or fiction.
Whether it is scientific or not, each one of us investigates our "beliefs", positive behaviors that produce love, compassion, beneficial behavior, and inefficient behavior that produces intolerance, inequality, hatred Examine you. Through such research, you can learn to abandon the latter and prosper the former, even if you are not based on science.
Everyone does not have to accept the "same reality" of the world, but you do not have to work hard to find a world that can create a world with peace, equality, love and compassion.
This way of understanding the relationship with your faith is summarized in the idiomatic phrase "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", or "Benjamin Franklin (1741)" states it. As David Hume said, "Beauty of things exists only in thought in mind" (1742). What is your relationship with your faith? Is it beauty or not?
"Our beliefs are like undoubted orders, they tell us what you can do, what you can do, what you can do, what you can do, what is impossible, what you can do and what you can not do Anthony Robins I know this is the truth I have always heard that, but that is totally meaningful: If you can not show what it is in an attractive and meaningful way, your audience will see the action video and You will have to take the rest of the Kickstarter page, it will be very far away
When there are enough people to understand this idea, you can make persistent and meaningful changes to the world. Your words, your actions, your beliefs, your compassion, mutual understanding verify the existence of our slimy movie on the planet at the end of the Milky Way, while trying to see ourselves It is action. I know myself
The company should be a group of people who have a similar understanding about the world. These belie
