Belief is the #2 problem for humanity. People want to believe whatever they want when they are low quality thinkers. Learning how to think properly is a skill that needs to be developed throughout life. Believing whatever you want is easier.

Why do they believe what they want? Because they have a question, that creates a gap, void, abyss and darkness in comprehension. This is in turn the fear of the unknown. This fear creates anxiety, discomfort, insecurity. This is not "feeling-good", and most people don't like this. They need to get rid of not feeling-good. They need an answer, an imagined known to no longer not know.

The way for cognition to resolve this, is to imagine/invent an answer or have one provided, that will fill the gap of lack of comprehension that is created by a question. Now they feel-good again. The feel-good pleasure trap applies with many things in life from sensual pleasure focus and seeking, as a primal desire for animal life. This is the #3 problem, that is desired from beliefs as the #2 problem, all coming from consciousness the #1 problem and the lack of knowing how consciousness functions to do all of this and fool ourselves, deceive ourselves, and accept delusions so that we can "feel-good", be comfortable, secure, no stress, no aanxiety from that fear of the unknown, abyss, darness void in comprehension of reality.

More mature and quality thinkers can recognize they don't know, and can accept it, and be comfortable, secure, and at peace. They don't need to invent fantasy beliefs or accept fantasy beliefs from others to put them at ease.

This is the underlying psychological processing for why these things are accepted. But these people don't understand any of this. Nor do they want to. Their beliefs make them feel-good, and they don't want to let go of this attachment. To do so, would put them back into the state of the unknown and fear and all the psychological and emotional negative states they have not been able to cope with in questions not having a known answer. Attachment is indeed the root of all suffering. Look at human history, and what unfounded beliefs as imaginary "truths" have done to us. Learn to let go people. Ground yourself in reality or be lost in the fantasy of the clouds.

This is unique in depth understanding I have gained from analyzing and thinking about how consciousness functions, taking many years of time and thinking, which most people don't employ because their time, currency of what they spend it on and pay attention to, is tied up into pleasure seeking or busy aspects of life to keep the occupied away from depth thinking. It can be understood if one objectively detached from themselves, their sense of self built upon all their beliefs, and learn to let go. Anyone who attaches to beliefs and their constructed identity based on these beliefs will never be able to think clearly about how consciousness functions or how they have come to believe in these things. Beliefs are fine, but don't be calling them "truth" when they are not. Truth is demonstrable, veracious, veritas, verifiable, and is a synonym of existence and reality where truth can be found.

Upvoted. Peace.
