It is not so much the onboarding of a new set of beliefs which will drive our next system of currency exchange. It is the awareness that beliefs are optional.

At the root of religous conflict is the inherent uncertainty that accompanies absolute truth. There is no such thing as an absolute truth. And while the mind operating in a program of separation may never accept this fact, the body, the earth, our experience of reality, is always keeping score.

When tightly held beliefs no longer produce an enjoyable reality experience, the belief must either be discarded, exchanged, or — to the detriment of the human being — doubled down upon. The process of discarding beliefs ultimately results in the realization that no beliefs are fundamentally real. The inherent discomfort of this realization may keep one clinging to beliefs for many lifetimes. It may also result in the imposition of one’s beliefs onto another.
