If you cannot not believe something you think you saw, it's impossible to not believe something you think you saw. So if I said to you, I'm a blonde, you'd say, no, you're not. I'd say, no, no, I'm a blonde. You'd say, Shelly, you're not a blonde. You're a redhead. You're a redhead, right? You're a redhead. Because you think you see that I'm a redhead, but if I, I pulled my hair off and said, no, it's a wig. And suddenly you said, oh, she is blonde. Another example, if you have a belief I can trust my spouse. You're married 30 years. They would never cheat on me, ever, ever, ever. And you walk into the bedroom one day and they're having sex with your best friend. What happens to that belief? My spouse would never cheat on me. It goes away. gone. So when you go back and you look at these beliefs and you get to the source of them, which in Mark's case was his stepfather being violent with him, what you see is I told the truth and my stepfather threw me into the wall. That is seeable. But where was if I tell the truth, I will get into trouble in the future with anybody when I'm adult. That is made up.
