What makes your beliefs?

Please explain to me your beliefs or ideas (and the difference is the amount of the ego seeing as how no one can prove wrong or right). I don't know if I believe in a god or not, I'm still really in question. Don't try to guide me just give me some ideas.

Please lets try to keep the flaming down on this one.

I'm atheistic; tendencies towards 'magic'...not in the typical sense though. When most people think of magic, they think spellcasting, illusions, curses, and that shit. I'm saying I believe that we can manipulate the world around us to break the scientific laws. I believe that it is possible to reverse gravity, entropy, possible to surpass c, possible to convert energy into material forms...while I'm not the greatest mathmetician or home-grown scientist, I believe 'magic' can be performed with the correct methodology. While there's nothing spiritual about the magic I believe in, it does fall into the realm of unsupported bullshit...for the most part. Think of this though: if we could change the vibration of strings, we could create that which doesn't exist, we could create conditions that defy nature.

Magneto, if you see this, feel free to rip it apart. I already know it's entirely flawed and such, but I'd like to see your criticism of it, whether positive or negative.

Beliefs are overrated.

Probably has something to do with the filter we create through life in this world. Yes very generic, yet also very specific. It is the excuse, the formula, the quantification, through which all other experiences pass through. It could be science, an attempt to break down everything into predictable repeatable results that correlate with experience. It could be a forced self insanity, for although you may be locked up somewhere, no one can say if you are truely insane. Insane should be restated to one who is not understood by ordinary means. Suddenly you notice the word ordinary in this sentence to mean, some unchaning facet of our experience. There are some things that do not change within our experience of a lifetime, yet they inevitably do change, they change with the progressing generations, mutating with the world. Our mutation is dictated by our present thougts about the world. Thoughts wich change, yet this change can only be measured through the imprint they once left. Our present filter is that of protection, that is a concern that we all are faced with. We have created this mutation of being, in conjunction with the world. When we really want to filter everything through our doing things for the sheer pleasure of it.

A stoned uncoherent though now over.
