General belief is “There is no real magic, only tricks” but a great magician compel people not to trust that belief and make them believe, after all "There does exist a real magic".

Amit Kalantri

The definition of a professional is one who does a job well even when they don't like it.

If there are infinite dimensions then there would be infinite alternate realities and if there are infinite alternate realities we would exist in almost all of them that would make all of us omnipresent...

Stanley Victor Paskavich

I believe that religion, generally speaking, has been a curse to mankind — that its modest and greatly overestimated services on the ethical side have been more than overcome by the damage it has done to clear and honest thinking.I believe that no discovery of fact, however trivial, can be wholly useless to the race, and that no trumpeting of falsehood, however virtuous in intent, can be anything but vicious.I believe that the evidence for immortality is no better than the evidence of witches, and deserves no more respect.I believe in the complete freedom of thought and speech — alike for the humblest man and the mightiest, and in the utmost freedom of conduct that is consistent with living in organized society.I believe in the capacity of man to conquer his world, and to find out what it is made of, and how it is run.I believe in the reality of progress.I —But the whole thing, after all, may be put very simply. I believe that it is better to tell the truth than to lie. I believe that it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe that it is better to know than be ignorant.

H.L. Mencken

Faith and belief are not measured by the size of the miracle but the integrity of our soul.

Charles F. Glassman

When a belief becomes more than an instrument, you are lost. You remain lost until you learn what 'belief' is really for.

Idries Shah

If you get enough people believing one thing, it's like reality bends itself to allow that to exist.

Thomm Quackenbush

It almost doesn’t matter what is real or unreal. It really matters what we choose to believe.

Judy Frankel

...atheism leaves no room for excuses...

Travis Culliton

Nothing in any religious teachings goes beyond Humanism, unless you add the supernatural...Make believe is the only difference between being human and being religious.

Travis Culliton

I do not judge the individual based on their belief. If I were to, then I would, undoubtedly, be no better than the (religious) system that I frown upon.

Believe me...Nothing is bad or wrong , just prove it as right

Believe me...Nothing is bad, just prove it as right

Alpesh Vasan

Words, no matter whether they are vocalized and made into sounds or remain unspoken as thoughts, can cast an almost hypnotic spell upon you. You easily lose yourself in them, become hypnotized into implicitly believing that when you have attached a word to something, you know what it is. The fact is: You don’t know what it is. You have only covered up the mystery with a label. Everything, a bird, a tree, even a simple stone, and certainly a human being, is ultimately unknowable. This is because it has unfathomable depth. All we can perceive, experience, think about, is the surface layer of reality, less than the tip of an iceberg.

Eckhart Tolle

Spaniards and Americans are not like Europeans, they are not like Orientals, they have something in common, that is they do not need religion or mysticism not to believe in reality as all the world knows it, not even when they see it.

Gertrude Stein

The hope is indeed that some will experience and believe: The purpose of a number of spiritual gurus is to demonstrate to God-fearing men faux spirituality.

Criss Jami

Who gets to be the judge of reality? If it was deeply felt, believed, spoken about often or altered your life course, then it was real enough. Faith doesn't get the luxury of all those things one hundred percent of the time, but we call that normal behavior based on a gut feeling.” I said. I looked at his wife and she busted out laughing. Her husband was trying to catch invisible butterflies above his head—dementia. My patients teach me the most sobering of truths: Why wreck his smile. If I could see them, I would want to catch them too.

Shannon L. Alder

A spiritual teaching is a finger pointing toward Reality; it is not Reality itself. To be in a true and mature relationship with a spiritual teaching requires you to apply it, not simply believe in it. Belief leads to various forms of fundamentalism and shuts down the curiosity and inquiry that are essential to open the way for awakening and what lies beyond awakening. A good spiritual teaching is something that you work with and apply. In doing so, it works on you (often in a hidden way) and helps reveal to you the Truth (and falseness) that lies within you.

Adyashanti

When a lie makes a soft bed for everyone, may the truth lie low. God as commonly understood appears to be one such lie. God as non-existence is not everyone's cup of tea and He better remain so.

R.N. Prasher

That had always been the beauty of the wind. It could only be seen through its actions, its effect on others. A gentle reminder that reality does not only exist in the seeable, the palpable, the understandable, but also in the figments and daydreams, the steadfast beliefs and unexplainable uncertainties. Reality is seen and yet unseen. Wholly and absolutely relative. The wind had taught him that.

Kelseyleigh Reber

I think i should get love inked on my skin.Maybe that's the only way i am destined to keep it.

Anjum Choudhary

Don't focus on the words i write,pay attention to the ones i don't.These lines won't tell you much about me,try to read in between these lines.

Anjum Choudhary

Words fail to describewhat i feel anymore.Let me be numb for a while,let me be sore.

Anjum Choudhary

Barry Schlenker’s self-identity theory (1982) asserts that self-presentation is an attempt to control information about your identity before real or imagined audiences—including yourself. People try to provide explanations of their own conduct; they try to construct an identity that is satisfying to themselves and that explains their behavior in a favorable light. One of the criteria of a good explanation is believability; that is, explanations must fit with existing knowledge. Schlenker argues that people are not motivated to attain cognitive consistency as an end in itself; rather, they need to provide a believable and self -beneficial account of their conduct, and consistency is a by-product of that. The need to provide explanations for your conduct results in the construction of an internally consistent view of reality.

James Kennedy

Belief is exclusively a matter of personal domain. It has nothing to do with reality.

Abhijit Naskar

I wonder if I talk like a dead man. My daughter once came home from school very excited about some lecture -this was years ago, before I died, though just right before- and she said her English teacher had talked about what the dead sound like in Dante. This funny thing about Dante's dead, which is that they know the past, and even the future, but they don't know the present. About the present they have all these questions for Dante. And that somehow is what being alive is, to be suspended in the time. She seemed to feel that really meant something. That and also that the dead know themselves better than the living do.

Rivka Galchen

Psychologically, our reality derives from the stories we tell ourselves, at least the ones we believe.

Matthew D Lieberman

Let each man say what he deems truth, and let truth itself be commended unto God.

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing

Your mind builds your reality... based on anything you believe in.

Toba Beta

What is it that makes a person insist passionately on the existence of metaphysical realities that can be neither demonstrated nor refuted? (176)

Stephen Batchelor

Do you think that the things people make fools of themselves about are any less real and true than the things they behave sensibly about? They are more true: they are the only things that are true.

George Bernard Shaw

Beliefs create reality

Melody Beattie

My message to you is this: pretend that you have free will. It's essential that you behave as if your decisions matter, even though you know they don't. The reality isn't important: what's important is your belief, and believing the lie is the only way to avoid a waking coma. Civilization now depends on self-deception. Perhaps it always has.

Ted Chiang

Weak people believe what is forced on them. Strong people what they wish to believe, forcing that to be real.

Gene Wolfe

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

Philip K Dick

In the search for truth,what you believe matters lessthan how you believe.

Eric Micha'el Leventhal

Impossibilitarians are defeated before the battle even begins. The best attitude that accommodates failure is disbelief. You can't do it because you believe you can't! You can do it because you believe you can!

Israelmore Ayivor

I have only dwelt in my thoughts.

Lailah Gifty Akita

If we don't fight for what we 'stand for' with our passionate words and honest actions, do we really 'stand' for anything?

Tiffany Madison

God has a way of picking a “nobody” and turning their world upside down, in order to create a “somebody” that will remove the obstacles they encountered out of the pathway for others.

Shannon L. Alder

Hope is a believe in God.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Stop expecting the world to affirm you as a person. Half of the world will like you and the other half will hate you, despite what you say or do. Christ knew this truth, but he did his life mission anyways.

Shannon L. Alder

Never think twice, when you have decided once.

Auliq-Ice

Never lose faith, hope and courage.

Lailah Gifty Akita

You can conquer any mountain with faith, hope and courage.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Even if we have ourselves so fully convinced that we are on the right track because we desperately want to believe that the specific direction we have chosen is the "correct one", if the universe disagrees with our choices, it will not be shy in telling us so.

Miya Yamanouchi

Every action today will define the future.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Look onwards to what lies ahead.

Lailah Gifty Akita

A true prophet would rather be believed false by many but actually true than believed true by many but actually false.

Criss Jami

Sometimes God will place a wall on your path to force you to go in another direction.

Suzy Kassem

With God, a mountain before me is soon to be a memory behind me.

Craig D. Lounsbrough

An artist must be passionately in love with her art. Obsessed or possessed ― go mad for what you believe in.
