What inspired you to believe what you believe?

A series of epiphanies, and logical research :D

I take my belief system from a variety of places, but overall I feel it's important to be a good person, and as they say in the medical field, do no harm.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

I like that :D

A plethora of different, little things.
Morality, experience, gut instinct, research, history, picking minds, picking through my own mind...

And probably the most important: Picking through my heart.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

A good way to do it... :D

[childeofloki.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding me?! This sucked! 25 years, most of which has been one kind of hell or another, and I have very little to show for it.

Would that I could have the blind, unthinking faith that others seem to find so easy.

[cerebralpig.livejournal.com]

Evidence. ;)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Great answer :D

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

Testing "the truth" for its validity, and personal experiences. I also try and bridge the gap between "what should be" and "how it actually is."

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yes... "How it actually is" is often far removed from "what should be"...

My beliefs were and are shaped by experiences I've gone through. And I can maybe have a thick skull and just not learn sometimes, but when I do, it tends to change my worldview little by little.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Very cool :D

Well... Not the thick skull bit... :P

[beatzz.livejournal.com]

Ahaha... True that. :P

Death. Destruction. Misery. Mental illness. Manic Depression. And Lima Beans. GOD I hate Lima beans!!!!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Lima beans?

What did the Lima beans do to you?

Must have been an unspeakable horror!

;)

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

Eating them is like eating hardened baby poop in cellophane... not that I'd know what that's like, but every time I eat one, that's the first thing that comes to mind!!!

[patchworld.livejournal.com]

The beauty of the nature and joy of being alive!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Wonderful :D

[kathyrene.livejournal.com]

Striving to be authentic.

Ditto.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

A deep calling from within that led to epiphanies, many of which seem to be backed up by hard core research and logical intuition.

I suppose all of that can be summed up as: my personal experience.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Well summed up :D

[alainn-mactire.livejournal.com]

Personal experience. And a helluva lot of wrong choices...

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

All choices are educational...

*hugs you*

[alainn-mactire.livejournal.com]

That's true :o)

[miintikwa.livejournal.com]

What inspired you to believe what you believe?

The series of "coincidental" things that have led me to believe there are no coincidences. The people that are continually drawn into and back into my life who shine with an inner fire and brightness and constantly inspire me to strive to improve myself.

The knowledge, deep within, that there IS something greater than I out there, and "It" definitely has "a plan" for me.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

A lovely answer :D

[miintikwa.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[heardthatnoise.livejournal.com]

This was a good question. :)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Thanks!

[4kudzu.livejournal.com]

There's such thing as LOGICAL research? More people should look into it, me thinks.

[empatia.livejournal.com]

The little things that no one else sees...and the fact that nothing can be proven wrong (yes, I've tried).

[castlelady.livejournal.com]

Through life experience.

[mishi-ragdoll.livejournal.com]
