The book "Beliefs – Possibilities and Fantasies" is an engineering manual for human consciousness in a world saturated with inflamed opinions and dogmatic truths. In it, the author demonstrates the procedure the reader must follow to truly comprehend reality. This is achieved by presenting a bold and sophisticated vision of the human being, revealing how rudimentary traditional metaphysics has become.

In this work, thought is decomposed to its very foundation; philosophy meets systemic logic; and controversial themes—such as abortion, the death penalty, religion, and prejudice—are analyzed from an unprecedented and modern perspective that reveals the true nature of "convictions."

Reasons to read this book:

It presents a non-partisan and holistic perspective of reality.
It helps the reader understand and improve their own mind, while identifying the only tool capable of doing so.
It shows the path toward individual and social evolution, and the achievement of peace.

In short, this book is highly recommended for anyone who wishes to see outside the box.

Introduction

Beliefs are usually viewed as modes of thinking that are capable of generating religious, sexual, social, ideological, and other conflicts. This happens because the most prominent behaviors they provoke include: intolerance, stubbornness, selfishness, aggressiveness, dishonesty, immorality, anti-sociality, and irrationality. This view is valid, but it leaves out some very important things that are also related to beliefs.

The role that beliefs play is much greater than it seems. This book will show what that role is, as this is essential for it to achieve its objective, which is to demonstrate why “thinking outside the box” can accelerate intellectual, humanistic, and social development.

The means that will be employed for this is to show how people can differentiate between what is feasible and what can never be realized, that is, fantasies. To provide this, the book is structured as follows:

Chapter I: A Realistic View of Reality – shows the characteristics of reality that are essential for understanding this book.

Chapter II: A Realistic View of the Brain – shows the peculiarities of the source and user of all beliefs.

Chapter III: A Realistic View of Beliefs – equalizes knowledge about the protagonists of this book, beliefs.

Chapter IV: A Key to Evaluating Beliefs – presents information that is essential for reliably evaluating whether beliefs are possibilities or fantasies.

Chapter V: Evaluating Some Beliefs – analyzes selected beliefs to determine if they are possibilities or fantasies, based on the views presented in the previous chapters.

Chapter VI: Reflections on Controversial Topics – comments on the most relevant topics for humanity that are related to beliefs.

Some of the titles above include the word ‘Realistic’ to emphasize that the chapter's priority will be to classify beliefs as possibilities and fantasies with objectivity, coherence, and without entering into useless discussions.

One part of the coherence required for classifying beliefs as possibilities or fantasies will be demonstrated by systematizing reality, that is, by fitting the presented viewpoints into reality. The other part of this coherence will be demonstrated by using only scientific knowledge and non-controversial points to reduce the probability of error.
