But then again, as humans we make so many important, potentially life-threatening decisions every day w probably less information, for example every time we cross the street or get into a car. How many of us know our risk of death or dismemberment for doing so? For crossing at a given busy street vs a local quiet street? ...and on and on for every moment of our lives... starts to make Intuition look rather useful, !ol!
Or we give away our power of choice to someone who is more "learned" or "wise" than we are (as recognized by those in "authority"). Doctors, judges, politicians, and the like. I really wonder how much of our modern medicine or science is based upon false beliefs, false information, or other doctrines, just because someone trusted the information they were given.
Then again, maybe trust or belief IS everything. Take the placebo effect. If we BELIEVE something will work, perhaps that's really all we need to allow it to work. Once, however, we begin waking up to other aspects of a treatment (such as political corruption, greed, financial manipulation, falsified studies and research, etc.) then we begin losing faith in it.
The more I think about it, the more I believe consciousness and our beliefs affect our experience, the world around us, and indeed, our reality.
