If you can believe it, it's there, everything is there, all you have to do is believe, and if you don't believe, it's all vain. 'We are alive because we believe that we are so'...but how? One may react to this statement.
Well! Some years ago somebody told us that he believed that we were alive because we breathe air, filled our lungs with air and that our body performed certain metabolic functions, so we were alive, and we believed that 'somebody', we even believed that 'our' bodies did the functions, he (that 'somebody') believed would make us alive ... so now, we are alive, or so do we believe! This (all of this) sounds like something from the stream of consciousness.... a poet's free time thoughts.
But think ...if we were to prove this theory (i.e. why or how we are alive?) otherwise, then we would have to falsify its beliefs and principles i.e. the belief of us breathing for life and the principles of the metabolic functions of our 'living' body, and the only possible way I can see for that is that we would have to stop breathing and prevent our body from performing its metabolic functions, ...but that would mean...! And that is another belief, isn't it? Well so much for being alive...huh!

BELIEF !!!!
The very existence of the world depends upon belief!If you can believe it, it's there, everything is there, all you have to do is believe, and if you don't believe, it's all vain. 'We are alive because we believe that we are so'...but how? One may react to this statement.
