A short lecture-style YouTube segment arguing that beliefs strongly shape behavior: people exhibit variable behavior, and judging actions leads to generalized self-beliefs that then control future actions. The speaker defines belief as a "feeling of absolute certainty," cites extreme examples (multiple personalities, reported biochemical/eye-color changes) to illustrate belief power, and emphasizes the mantra "Beliefs create and beliefs destroy."
Human beings have what's called variable behavior. Can good people do mean things? Yes or no? Yes or no can mean people do good things yes or no. And if you judge people by their behavior we all get in lousy states and do stupid things and then pretty soon you're generalizing about people or you generalize about yourself because you who's ever done something really stupid that you hope no one ever finds out? Everyone in this room. But if you judge yourself by that behavior develop a belief and that belief controls you. Remember a belief is a feeling of absolute certainty. Beliefs are so powerful that people have multiple personalities have been documented to have eye color changes when they change personalities. In some cases there are biochemistry changes because they're that certain. That's how powerful beliefs are. Write down beliefs create and beliefs destroy. Beliefs create and beliefs destroy. So boy we better be clear whether our beliefs are creating something good or whether it's destroying something.
