Very well said Andy.

When you (impersonal "you" ) consciously think "I need a belief system that is in good working order", it's not as if you're suddenly trying to conjure up a belief system out of nothing - you're just becoming aware of / attuned to the fact that you have a belief system working in the background, influencing your perception of the world.

Yes, exactly. Perfectly stated. And, in fact, I have observed that it goes beyond simply your perception of the world. I have experienced for myself that what you believe actually alters your world, in many material ways both subtle and obvious.

This is why Robert notes that it's important to have a "clean out" of your beliefs, and get rid of the stuff that doesn't serve you. You actually affect the world you experience because of what you believe.

At least, that's what I believe, and guess what? When I started to believe that, it became obviously true. Funny about that, eh?

That's exactly what I'm planning on doing when I get around to it, of course .
