The mind can assert anything and pretend it has proved it. My beliefs I test on my body, on my intuitional consciousness, and when I get a response there, then I accept.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I proved to myself that if I believe in something and set my mind to it I could actually accomplish it.
It is always easier to believe than to deny. Our minds are naturally affirmative.
The thing is, if you believe in the unconscious - and I do - there's room for all kinds of possibilities that I don't know how you prove one way or another.
Such evidence is not the only kind which produces belief; though positivism maintains that it is the only kind which ought to produce so high a degree of confidence as all minds have or can be made to have through their agreements.
Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; unbelief, in denying them.
Belief is not restricted to a brief affirmation based on imitation; rather, it has degrees and stages of development. It is like a seed growing into a fully grown, fruit-bearing tree; like the sun's image in a mirror or in a drop of water to its images on the sea's surface and to the sun itself.
Belief is thought at rest.
I only believe in what I see and hear with my own eyes and ears.
Any thought that is passed on to the subconscious often enough and convincingly enough is finally accepted.
Argument is conclusive, but it does not remove doubt, so that the mind may rest in the sure knowledge of the truth, unless it finds it by the method of experiment.
