Hello amazing People if the gem community this would be my first post of many in this community
Most people describe the mind as a thinking faculty while we also describe belief as something we have strong feelings to be true whether real or unreal, although both a very accurate I would like to think of them both as half baked. The mind yes is our thinking faculty but I believe the mind to be more than that it’s our the very root to who an individual is the very core to any individuals personality and deep in there some where our beliefs lie
Does the phrase _“it’s all in your head”_sound familiar to you. ?? When I was a kid it’s often common for people trying to scare kids to tell them horrifying stories of ghosts or when a child gets nightmare the consoling parent will tell them soothing stories or make them believe its all a dream its not real and maybe give them a sweet story to which they will sleep off to
Our mind is a beautiful place and like every beautiful thing it can be tainted by factors we allow in, for instance the environment we live in can greatly affect our mind and alter how beliefs no matter how deeply rooted. Now let’s assume as a kid you grew up in a very religious environment where things like smoking and drinking are considered very offensive and you eventually move due to some factors to an environment where drinking and smoking is the other of the day if you mind is not guarded and deeply rooted to your beliefs you will start keeping drunkards as friends and you will become more tolerant when they smoke or drink around you because your new environment believe its normal Now beliefs are a matter of conviction and this convictions are deeply rooted in the mind, the mind habors these beliefs and as humans we work with them in our everyday lives, if someone strongly believes in ghost he can convincly argue with you for hours that ghost are real and won’t take it otherwise, belief are a product of mindset and if our mindset is doubtful so will our beliefs
A second factor that can affect our minds and our beliefs as well are things we allow in via our ears and eyes and things we let out via our words action or body language. Most people don’t know how greatly things they spend there time to listen to or watch affect there real life, even without realizing it you will discover some people gradually start acting like there role models or start exhibiting things they see online because it has tainted there minds
The mind is like a vessel that can be shaped and reshaped with time the manner in which we guide it will determine our beliefs, for one to be truly religious one has to set his mind on things that concern religion and for one to be adamant he only needs to set his mind on doing adamant things. As our beliefs are in a way fine tuned by what we have in mind we should always remember it is very crucial to guard our minds against negative things hence are beliefs will be kept pure and untainted
