Neuroscience of Beliefs

The ability to sort out your thinking and then drop forever the frustration of trying to work around limiting ideas.

Beliefs are our brain’s way of making sense of our complicated universe and  managing it. They are mental representations of how our brains expect objects to behave in our environment. They tell the brain how things should be connected to each other, the patterns that our brain expects to adapt to the world. Beliefs are models for successful learning and are also necessary for survival.

The brain seems to be a value energy-organ and thus, needs to establish efficiencies that conserve our energy. As a forecasting system, it takes shortcuts to identify trends, as it analyses the huge amount of information obtained by its sensitive organ growth from the environment. Beliefs allow complex knowledge to be distilled by the brain, allowing it to categorise and analyse information easily and to leap to conclusions.
