If we believe that it makes no sense, we are likely to live in ways which will confirm our belief in our essential isolation from each other. Our belief then is a negative reflexive self-fulfilling prophecy which leads us to our personal and communal disintegration. Results of our decisions and actions flow from our beliefs, and will often confirm the predictive powers of the paradigm, its beliefs and its technologies. If we believe that it does make sense for us to live in terms of seeking to be in communication through a cosmic spirit or consciousness, we are likely to live lives of open and honest dialogue in communities where we truly feel safe to be vulnerable---because of the exchange of gifts of true security known as the freedom to be safely vulnerable in intimate relationships which we together perceive as true expressions of the cosmic spirit/consciousness. Thus our beliefs are positive reflexive self-fulfilling prophecies---which lead us to our personal and communal integration. Results of our decisions and actions flow from our beliefs, and often confirm the positive predictive powers of the paradigm, its beliefs and its technologies. Mutually exclusive beliefs can (through their contrasting self-fulfilling prophecies) be confirmed as accurately predictive through our reflexive decisions and actions. Some beliefs lead to personal and communal integrity; while contrasting beliefs lead to personal and communal disintegration. Both kinds of beliefs often have the power to confirm (through their reflexive consequences) that the beliefs are reasonable, accurately predictive, and valid. In the light of the above observations we will do well to recognize that it is often of little value to ask whether or not the consequences of a belief system are consonant with the belief system---for most belief systems work effectively to fulfill their prophecies in either reality or in appearances. It is wiser to ask if the consequences of a belief system lead those people who are the most focused upon the belief system towards personal and communal integrity; or towards personal and communal disintegration.
