The Power of Believing in Yourself Is the Most Powerful Force in theUniverse

If You Control What You Believe, You Will Control Your Future

I have set out to explain why capitalism is superior to progressivism, fascism, socialism, and communism. I have come to the conclusion that capitalism is the only one out of these five ideologies that will allow the individual human being to control their future. Progressivism, fascism, socialism and communism are united in the sense that they rely on group-centered ideologies, which will attempt to control freedom of speech and ultimately, the belief in yourself. Because capitalism takes the opposite approach, it requires that the freedom of speech and the ability to believe in yourself must remain unhindered. Progressivism, fascism, socialism, and communism will always be at a disadvantage as long as we have freedom of speech, the freedom to believe in ourselves, and freedom of religion and capitalism. The reason why the progressives, fascists, socialists and communists residing in our federal government go to such lengths to restrict our current society is because should they succeed, we will be equally competitive with the rest of the world.

When I realized that you can control your individual future through capitalist ideas, I decided to sit down and put my thoughts on the subject onto paper. In this introductory section, I aim to discover the fundamental reason why capitalism will always be preferable to the individual human being.

One of the fundamental tasks of human experience is to find the truth in what you believe. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote the Sherlock Holmes detective novel series in the late 1800s. Through this character, Doyle laid out the methodology Holmes used to solve crimes, and most of the methodologies Holmes used to solve unconventional crimes are still being used today in our criminal justice system - even though technology has progressed substantially since. One of his basic principles on how to solve a crime can be paraphrased in the following argument: “Once you remove all that is false, whatever remains has to be the truth. No matter how strange or ridiculous it might sound, it has to be the truth.” This is a process called abduction. When you use abduction to challenge what you currently believe, you must look for what is false and then remove it. Only then will you be able to see the truth.

Another fundamental task of human experience is to determine whether God is synonymous with the truth. When you challenge God, as a believer or non-believer, you must challenge the beliefs you hold if you’re to get anywhere. In doing so, you will see what is false, and when you remove falsity, you will be able to see the truth. Only then you will be able to see God authentically.

With these two things in mind, I present to you this question: When did God give humans the ability to believe in general, as well as believe in themselves? Let’s assume that when you believe in yourself, you are also self-aware. When you are self-aware, you have the ability to understand what sin is. Only when you are able to understand that you are responsible for things that you have done, will you be able to understand the concept of sin.

-----

Think back to the very first parables within the Book of Genesis. The factor determining that Adam and Eve were to be removed from the Garden of Eden, stemmed from the fact that they were aware they were naked. In order to recognize that you are naked, you have to some level of self-awareness. It does not take long after that to uncover the origin of sin. Prior to being aware that they were naked, they were innocent of all sin, as the concept of sin was completely foreign to them. In this sense, they were more like humans as animals rather than humans as humans. The only thing they knew was that God didn't want them to eat from that tree.

God is not vengeful. He did not remove Adam and Eve because they had sinned, but because He understood via His omnipotence that the Garden of Eden could be perceived as a kind of welfare state, where everything would be without cost. This welfare state and the inability to understand sin in a worldly context would only lead to one conclusion. Eventually someone would want everything in the Garden and there would only be one person left. God understood this and gave Adam and Eve the ability to believe in general and the ability to believe in themselves. He gave us the ability to challenge what we believe, upon which we remove falsehoods from our beliefs, see the truth, and finally return to God.

Theoretically, if we were able to challenge all our beliefs, if we were able to remove all that is false in our beliefs, we would be like God. The one thing that would not allow us to do this is time. Today's truth is tomorrow false beliefs, because as the world changes, so does our relationship to truth. If we do not challenge what we believe every day, eventually we will only have false beliefs. Going back to the concept of self-awareness for a moment, as it is connected to the premises I’ve previously mentioned, taking responsibility for your actions requires you to resist blaming other people when things go wrong. Otherwise, blaming other people would lead to violence, and you would not move closer to God. The power to believe in general and to believe in ourselves allows us to take greater control over our own future and grants us a greater ability to solve all our own problems.

Now, we can give away this power to “golden idols”, such as the government. But when we do, we lose all the power that God has given us to control our future. The power to believe in general and to believe in our self can only be used by the individual, as an individual’s actions after having taken responsibility is the only way to produce tangible effects in the world. It is the duty of the individual to understand that in today's environment, where the government is in control of the schools and every poverty-stricken area in the country, the government will not teach the children or the people in poverty-stricken areas to believe in themselves. What God saw within the Garden of Eden is what we see in our world and our time. If the people see that there is no sin in taking what they want from others, there will be chaos and destruction. But if we teach the people to believe and to believe in themselves, the power of the four socio- political ideologies fighting capitalism will grow weaker, and our society will find its equilibrium again.

If I seem to repeat myself throughout this document, its sole purpose is to convince you that the power to believe in yourself is the most powerful force in the universe. If you use this God given power to believe in yourself, then there is nothing that you cannot accomplish.

When God used His ability to believe in himself, He created the universe, life, and Man through that ability. God then gave man the ability to control his future and to solve his problems by giving him the ability to believe in himself.

All that I am is a man who is trying to control his future by believing in himself. I have included some thoughts that may be beneficial to you if you need help controlling your own future. To be clear - I do not want you to believe what I have written outright. My experience is only my own, and nobody else’s. All that I would like you to do is to read what I have written. From there, you may challenge my conclusions, as well as challenge yourself, so that you can come up with your own conclusions. You must discover what is false in what we both believe in order, for you to see and believe the truth. Part One: The Power of Believing

What Does It Mean to Say Something?

The power to believe controls everything you do every day. Everything you do is based on what you believe. Added together, all your beliefs and all your actions make up your individual reality. Your individual reality can control what you do today, tomorrow, and all the other days to come. If you wanted to control or change your future, you need to be able to control what you believe. The question then becomes: How do you start or stop believing in something? There has, to be something, some, kind of method, that separates what you think and what you believe. A clue can be in this verse from the New Testament:

“And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.” – Matthew 17:20 (NASB)

Let us focus on the word “say” for a moment. The act of saying, according to Jesus in this verse, is meant to shape the world as it will be, not as it is. Whatever mountain or problem that is in your way, say your will - as if the problem is not supposed to be there at all - and you will no longer believe that it is. You cannot simply think it or will it, you will have to combine both thought and will into action – to say it, if you are to believe it.

When you were young, your parents would speak to you and tell you what to believe. When you went to school, your teachers would speak to you and tell you what to learn or believe. When you went to work, your employer would speak to you and tell you what to believe or do. You are taught to believe what other people are saying, but it’s only one side of the coin. When you speak to yourself, you start believing what you say.

The act of taking an oath becomes pretty, easy to understand, given these arguments. A Boy Scout takes an oath to become a Boy Scout. A student recites the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America to establish the idea that they are American citizens. The Oath of Enlistment in the US Armed Forces encapsulates the transition from citizen to soldier. Oaths make the process of becoming a quantifiable action. While it would be a mistake to argue that, everything we say to ourselves are oaths - in the sense that there is a ceremony attached to them - it still holds true that we become what we say every day. The transformation process associated with the traditional aspects of an oath still exists, thus it must be taken just as seriously.

-----

The act of saying starts the process that allows you to start believing. If you know what you would like to do with your life, you need to say what you are in a way that will help you accomplish that goal. You can put businessmen, bankers, lawyers, accountants, and contractors in a room, but nothing will take place until you start speaking. In addition, you must also stop saying things to yourself that interferes with accomplishing that goal. The more you believe in yourself, the more the brain understands that you're responsible for accomplishing your goal. One thing that you must understand is this: If you lie to other people – especially yourself – you will be less likely to understand what you want to do when review your goals with yourself. You may have to repeat yourself many times before you’re committed to moving forward.

How Loving and Respecting People Is Just Another Part of Belief

For a person to love another human being, a person must first love themselves. In order, for a person to love themselves, a person must first believe in themselves. A person must believe that he can love and should be loved. It is safe to say that people are not born with this knowledge. Rather, people need to be shown how to believe and what to believe, as, a way to instill love within themselves.

When children are either born into poverty or born into families who don’t teach the next generation to believe in themselves, the results are the same. If children do not believe in themselves, they do not have respect for themselves or other people. You end up with adults that will either hurt themselves and other people. This is the reason why religions of peace are so important to a country of free people. Religions of peace teaches people to believe in themselves, to believe in their families, and ultimately to help other people. Religions of peace teaches children and adults that God loves them and that they should love other people.

Forgiveness is another part of how we love and respect people through belief. If you had a business partnership fall apart, or a marriage that ended in a divorce, you must forgive the other party and move on as best you can. Failing to do so creates a sort of wall that separates you not just from other people, but also yourself. Forgiving the other person is vital when breaking down that wall, but you also must forgive yourself in order to get rid of it completely. When you forgive the other person, you remove the pain that is in your heart and you let it go. This will allow you to start a new life, but the results of that new life may be the same if you don’t go that extra step and forgive yourself. When you forgive yourself, you get back the ability to believe in yourself again. Whatever pain you can’t let go of will be consumed via the act of forgiving yourself, and a resolution in earnest will be fulfilled.

Another positive effect associated with this holistic form of forgiveness is that other people start believing in you. By setting the example, you can permit yourself to ask forgiveness from others if you need to. So much of the separation that exists between other people is due to the fact we are no longer comfortable with the idea of being forgiven when we ask for it. We are so afraid of being denied that forgiveness because the denial happens all too often. When you refuse to hold a grudge, the positive effects will not be long in appearing all throughout your world.

The Universality of Belief

The ability to believe is not specific to Christian experience, Jewish experience, Muslim experience, or experience tied to a certain religion. It is required for us to be human. Otherwise, we would be animals without any way to distinguish between one being and another. This is very important to understand! The Bible teaches you that there is good and evil. With that in mind, it becomes very difficult to see the good or evil that is in another person’s heart. But you can see into your own heart. When God gave us the ability to believe in ourselves, he gave us the ability to recognize the evil and good that is in our heart. When we look, into our own heart, we can recognize the evil and choose the good instead. It’s the exact same abductive process associated with recognizing what is false and removing it to see the truth. Because God created us in his image, it is at that moment when we see God in ourselves. This is, why so many people believe that there is a God that created us, regardless of the religious construct that defines that belief. We can see God every time we look inside ourselves. No matter how alone we are, God is always with us.

Most people look at the word “belief” and just think of it as a word with a definition. However, believing is much more than a definition. The ability to believe in ourselves gives us the ability to be self-aware. It gives us the perspective to realize that we are, human and we exist in this universe. Believing in ourselves gives us the desire to be self-reliant and free from the tyranny of big government. The ability to believe is much more than a word, it is a power - a God given power - that can only be used to its maximum potential by the individual. By using this maximum potential, the individual can use capitalist ideology to create and redistribute more wealth than progressivism, fascism, socialism, and communism.

Controlling What You Believe

As the world changes from day to day, your ability to control what you believe changes from day to day as well. The ways in which this happens are numerous and hard to manage. However, there is one axiom to keep in mind when wrestling with these problems. If you continually say that other people are stopping you, then you will lead yourself to a place where you no longer believe in yourself and stop trying to accomplish your goal. If you say that nothing is going to stop you, that you are going to continue until you accomplish your job or your goal. You will be in a better mental position to find the way that allows you to accomplish your goal.

Logically, the conclusion you’re making when you believe in yourself is that you vow to remain responsible for accomplishing what you said you were going to do. You refrain from passing the buck onto someone else or the government whenever things don’t turn out the way you planned. To control your future, remember that whatever you say to yourself is absorbed into your willpower. Try to keep a critical point of view whenever you say something to yourself that agrees with another entity who does not have the same goals as you. Building and strengthening your belief in yourself takes priority. Stop agreeing to the idea that you cannot do something if someone tells you that you can’t do it, and start saying, “I can accomplish whatever you think I can’t do.” The more you complete new projects, the more your belief in yourself increases. When you challenge yourself and you succeed, you give yourself knowledge and capabilities that will help you down the road.

All children and young adults seem to understand this, but there are few opportunities for them to apply it. This is because large bureaucratic institutions attempt to control educational curriculum and possible work experience to the point where application of skills becomes less and like likely to achieve. This is where belief in oneself dies – right on the vine. Believing in yourself makes you responsible for everything you learn, and it controls what your future will be. Only when the people believe in themselves, will they recognize that they are responsible for what they learn. The conclusion to make from this is clear as crystal: The government is incapable of teaching people to believe in themselves and to be self-reliant.

When governments interfere with the abilities of children and young adults to believe in themselves, this creates a situation where primordial instincts like frustration and violence come out of the individual. In such a situation, these unfortunate people can do nothing but either harm themselves or other human beings. When you believe in yourself, you also believe in self-reliance. When you believe in self-reliance, you will also recognize that you are responsible for what you learned and for what you accomplish. You are responsible for your own life and your own future. When you recognize that you are responsible for your own life, you end up taking responsibility for all your successes and failures. You cannot blame others when you alone are responsible for your own livelihood. This takes away your incentive to blame or harm other people, even the incentive to harm yourself.

A government's inability to teach children and young adults to believe in themselves and to be self-reliant clearly indicates that some of our problems are not up to governments to fix. The education of our children to believe in themselves and be self-reliant should be left to the family, religions of peace, and local teachers who have a better grasp on the individual student’s needs. When you have more people believing in the government, you will end up with the government controlling the people. When you have more people believing in themselves and in their fellow citizens, you will end up with the people controlling the government.

After Belief – What Then?

The power to believe is perhaps God's only power. In order, for God to create the universe, create life, and create man, God had to be able to believe in His own ability to do it. Through the power of believing, God controlled his reality. When man was created in God's image, He only gave us one power, which was His very own.

God gave us the power to believe when we were born, but such an ability is latent – in other words, it must be developed. The ability to believe is not a power that can be used until you start believing in yourself. Even if you do begin to believe in yourself, having that ability remain with you is not guaranteed. There are many factors, both in the world and in ourselves, that can reduce our ability to believe. While it is true that God gave all humans the ability to believe in themselves, he also made us face choices every day, choices that give away this power to believe, whether it’s given to other people or the “golden idol” that is the government. If you choose to give away this power to believe in yourself, then you lose control over its power. A false authority, perhaps even a false god, gains that power instead.

But what exactly is this false authority? How can we recognize it for what it is when we see it? In order to answer that question, we must shift our focus away from an investigation into the power of belief towards an investigation into the power of false authority, paying strict attention to progressivism, fascism, socialism, and communism as they exist in our current socio-political system. Part Two: The Inefficacy of Pro-State Ideologies

Identifying the Basic and Fundamental Problem

There is a fierce debate in America today, occurring between political parties, between races, between sexes, between faiths, between nearly every demographic that can be found in this country. It is easy to argue that the problem has something to do with the people, given how fragmented we all seem right now. However, the basic and fundamental problem that we have in our country has nothing to do with its people, or their ability to believe in something. The basic and fundamental problem is originating from within our federal government. The federal government is incapable of solving some problems by default, but these problems are getting larger and larger. The federal government is responding by getting larger and larger, which makes the phenomenon a self-fulfilling prophecy. These problems can only be solved by the people, assisted by religions of peace.

What are the effects of this expansion of society’s problems and the expansion of the federal government? Folks in rural communities and inner cities are suffering poverty of a great intensity due to the inabilities of families, religious centers, and local educational facilities to teach future generations to believe in themselves. With no authentic authority to turn to, many children and young adults start to believe in the government, thinking it will succeed where everything else has failed.

Of course, the issue affects more than just future generations. Business owners - entrepreneurs in particular - are increasingly experiencing setbacks in the development of their ventures because of government expansion. This takes place via regulative legislation. Regulations limit an entrepreneur’s capability of creating and promoting progress right across the board. It is becoming increasingly difficult to acquire capital through the free market, to directly control the use of capital in order to maintain your business, to invest capital into world-changing technologies and services, and to profit from either your business or your investment.

What this all boils down to is the establishment of a pro-State system that seeks to control opportunity for the people, only to limit opportunity for the people as a result. It determines who wins and who loses before the people get to decide who wins or loses for themselves. The federal government has created this situation so that they can control the vote. State governments are also complicit in this to an extent, as they further solidify the control of the vote on more local levels.

The federal and state government has had plenty of time to fix this problem, but it is plain to see they have no desire to do so.

If we now have at our disposal an effective solution, it is now appropriate that we address exactly what is going wrong within our government, as they are enthralled to the pro-State ideologies of progressivism, fascism, socialism, and communism. To do this, it is best to examine a few tenants located within our Bill of Rights and determine how pro-State ideology is threatening to weaken them further.

Government Control and the First Amendment

In 1792, when the Articles of Confederation gave way to the Constitution, the American government as it is today was created. It was created with the knowledge that governments are neither created nor justified by God, unlike the argument made by the British monarchy. Therefore, the government of America is not and should not ever become a God in its own right.

This country has come a long way since then, and it has not been for the better. The government has effectively betrayed the promise it made – it keeps citizens dependent upon it, in order, for them to continue believing in it, instead of themselves. Nonetheless, the Bill of Rights – the first ten amendments of the Constitution – remains as they were when they were first ratified over two centuries ago.

It is impossible to believe two opposing beliefs with equal fervor at the same time. One must always take dominance over the other, otherwise the actions you take end up creating paradoxes that create more harmful effects than good. This phenomenon is both a blessing and a curse for humanity, and Americans suffer from this more than most. The government also suffers from this more than most, because it is also not capable of equally believing in, itself and the people. Politicians today are careerists more than public servants; they stay within Washington so long that they always choose to believe in their own system rather than the people’s. This manifests in a variety of ways, most of which are obvious. But there is one that is cleverly disguised, one that demands our utmost attention.

The Supreme Court has been transformed into an entity that receives case after case, instigated by proponents of the four pro-State ideologies – progressivism, fascism, socialism and communism. Each ideology may have its differences to each other, but they are united in the sense that they believe the federal government ought to have definitive control of our education system. The purpose for this was not to make our schools better, but to control what children think, believe, and speak. Some called it "Common Core", some called it "No Child Left Behind". No matter which way you slice it, education reform coming from these four ideologies boils down to the creation of propaganda by the federal government.

-----

Which is where we come back to the First Amendment, particularly the clause in which it guarantees freedom of speech. What does freedom of speech entail exactly? Earlier, we mentioned that saying something is what leads to the continuous cycle of acquiring belief, challenging that belief, and resolving that belief. What we are taught is a vital part of that process. If education is controlled by a supposedly omnipotent government, it controls what future generations think, believe, and speak – in that order. Freedom of speech becomes restricted, and it becomes so without people realizing that it restricted.

When government interferes with your freedoms, your freedom of speech most of all, they create an environment that inhibits you from believing in yourself. This interferes with your ability to control your future. The progressives, fascists, socialists and communists that are in our schools and in our bureaucracy have little to no interest in teaching the children to believe in themselves and to be self-reliant. As pro-State ideologues, it can never be in their interest to teach children these things.

We see this in the way adversity is currently addressed. We were once proud of knowing that overcoming adversity made us stronger, even if it could never be eliminated. But now certain ideologues want you to believe that a word has the power to stop you from doing anything. These people have argued that if you say something that goes against their values, which represent the values of the State, that someone feelings might get hurt and their abilities will be shattered by it. Words do not stop elite members of the armed forces. They keep on going, despite its presence, because they have challenged the belief and resolved it. If there is no freedom of speech, there is no limit to the power of the word as it is controlled by a false entity. If government is the false entity, but sees itself as just, what does it attempt to do to the legitimate entity – that of religion? Is religion in America being weakened by the same process as education in America is currently being weakened?

Is Freedom of Religion an Extension of Freedom of Speech?

The answer to such a question always depends on who you ask. In the view of the progressives, fascists, socialists, and communists, it is not.

To them, it is the only visible example of the fact that two opposing beliefs cannot be equally revered. One must triumph over the other. If the government is the new God, then the systems which belonged to the old - but nonetheless true God - must be destroyed.

However, a historical analysis of how education used to be carried out in America proves that freedom of speech is intertwined with freedom of religion in two ways: One – education could not be directly beholden to the State, and therefore were not directly beholden to the separation of Church and State. Two – the catechism that was frequently presented within the educational institutions of long ago allowed children to believe, challenge, and resolve in their own ways. It taught self-reliance and individualism – critical concepts of American identity which are currently lacking in today’s citizenry.

Government is limited when religions of peace are the foundations of how we express ourselves. Religion will always be dominant over government because religions of peace and close-knit familial connections believe in the people and instill a sense of belief within the people regarding their own abilities, which is a God-given characteristic of humanity itself. They are what made our nation strong, from the pastoral idyll to the urban center, until the pro-State ideologies of the 20th century and beyond began to infiltrate the highest ranks of bureaucracy – the Supreme Court and the Legislature, in particular.

Piecing Together the Missing Links

Belief, expression, and history. All three approaches to the issues endemic to our society have rewarded us with positive results and positive outlooks for the future.

But there is still one factor we have yet to address if we are still determined to acquire a complete attitude that can be used to at least limit the aggression of progressivism, fascism, socialism, and communism, if not defeat it outright.

How is the defense of capitalism still viable within the context we have just outlined? Up until now, we have only mentioned in the very beginning of the text. This third and final section will attempt to tie it all together in a way that strengthens the positive attributes of the people, while further diminishing the powers of those that attempt to defy the people. Part Three: The Abilities of Capitalism

Settling the Confusion Regarding the Essence of Capitalism

Progressives, fascists, socialists, and communists spend a great deal of time examining what capitalism is supposedly doing to the Western world, but they spend hardly any time determining what it really is. Unfortunately for them, this is a self-fulfilling prophecy, for the more that they strive to obtain control of the State, the easier it is to cast capitalism as a system as the scapegoat responsible for the ills of the world.

All that capitalism is can be defined by this phrase: Capitalism is a mechanism that free people, who believe in themselves, who believe in the people of their country, use to redistribute wealth in the most efficient manner.

If anyone deems it necessary to define it further, they can certainly argue that it gives the individual the pride and dignity that allows them to live the life that they wanted to live without the government interfering in such a way that they lose faith in their own abilities to live that life at all. Government, and the regulations it imposes, make a desired life harder to live through, let alone obtain. It restricts freedom in the most general sense of the word.

It also restricts the even distribution of wealth, as the regulations imposed on certain ventures limits the ability of the individual who wants to pursue them to acquire net profit, for the sole purpose of transforming it into capital that can redistributed back into the free market. Often, regulations create the exact opposite scenario, where profit becomes concentrated in the hands of the few. Originally, it was done out of individual self-protection, but it quickly turns into individual habit. Then, the progressives, fascists, socialists, and communists critique the pattern, forgetting it was they themselves who created the foundations for it.

These ideologies will always be inferior to capitalism, for they destroy the basic and fundamental necessities of all humanity. They destroy freedom of speech, the freedom to believe there is a God, and the freedom to believe in yourself.

If you believe in the government, then you have given away your only God given power to a government that cannot believe in you. The government will abuse the powers of the federal treasury and raise taxes on whoever they can, so that they can keep you dependent on the government. Only when you believe in yourself more than you believe in the government will you allow the government to be downsized or reduced in size.

Investigating a few possibilities, as far as societal reconstruction itself goes, may serve us well in providing a guideline for positive action through the combined forces of faith and capitalism.

Promote Technological Advancement in All Fields

One of the most peculiar critiques of capitalism is the idea that capitalism can only serve one industry within one technological area of inquiry. The most egregious example may be the connection made between capitalism and the fossil fuel industry, as if the two are somehow inseparable.

This is a dangerous way to view capitalism because capitalism itself is not the determining factor of the fossil fuel industry’s success and the renewable energy sector’s struggles. Regulations placed upon both parties, as well as the appeals of lobbyists representing both parties, obscure the true nature of the competition between the two. There is no way to determine how these industries can truly interact with each other, as well as determine how these industries can reinvest back into the market, continuing the technological advancement process.

The tyranny of a bloated and ineffective government will always try to destroy your God-given freedoms and your God given power to believe in yourself. Technological development, unhindered by regulation, creates opportunities for younger people in lower economic classes. If capitalism in a purer form, is capable of producing this effect, then it must be cultivated further for their sake.

Promote Municipal Rights to Educational Practices

If America is to become a strong nation again, all public schools must go back to local control. It is vital that all our public schools begin to teach again that believing in yourself and the individualism that comes with it leads to self-reliance, and you will prosper in America by have that self-reliance, making the capitalist system that much clearer to follow willingly.

Control of education by the federal government leads to a certain kind of attitude towards rights – the rights of the group. As groups become larger and larger in ideological scale, the multiple approaches that come with a self-reliant attitude become less and less distinct, to the point where there are vastly limited courses of action compared to what there were before. When evil pits one human against one human, evil has won nothing. Only when evil pits groups against groups can evil break this nation apart. This is propaganda at work.

If we are to return once more to the belief that American individuality is an educational necessity bound by God-granted ability, then the need for the many to pledge allegiance to God and Country should take precedence over the few that do not. The Pledge of Allegiance is an act of saying – an oath - that ties together the unity that comes from God and Country with the individualism that makes Americans what they are. The few that do not want to pledge allegiance to God and Country should not interfere with the people that do want to pledge to God and Country.

Only an educational system operating on the municipal level can promote these traditional values again, for the government has no interest in ensuring that they, as well as families and religions of peace, can teach what needs to be taught, in order, for the best interests of future generations to come to fruition. Capitalism can be nothing more than a shadow of itself without continued fulfillment of these educational standards.

Promote Charity, Love, and Understanding

Humans are not gods. Therefore, any individual’s set of beliefs are not perfect, and will never be perfect. Most beliefs are not even based on immutable fact, because – as was proven earlier – the world changes far more often than the belief can adapt. Your individual reality is based on every one of your beliefs, which means your reality has major flaws at best. And yet you will still use your concept of your reality to guide you into your future. This is the reason why people's lives are in a constant state of flux from security to danger, from pleasure to pain - they believe things that are just not true for far too long, and it affects their individual reality and their future.

The federal government has attempted to step in as the potential savior that will deliver Americans from this fate, and it is doomed to fail in that attempt. Even if they do provide the things people need to gain security in their lives, let alone pleasure in them, it won’t affect their ability to believe in themselves to any greater extent. Quite the contrary, in fact. The progressives, fascists, socialists and communists in government have one advantage: They take money away from other people and give it away to the people who want it more. But this is all that they offer and when the money runs out, they always collapse. There is nothing deeper to the equation, which is a thing the needy only find out after it is too late.

So, what’s required?

Capitalism requires that God-given rights and the God-given power to believe - in our selves especially - remain unrestricted, if capitalism is to be used in the most efficient manner. This also gives the individual the ability to reach their maximum potential. More often, than not, that maximum potential comes out of our ability to be charitable, to be loving, and to be able to understand other individuals’ abilities. Religions of peace in the United States donate more money to help the people around the world than all the other countries that believe in progressivism, fascism, socialism, or communism. Countries who are beholden to these ideologies have tried to control the God-given right of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the God given power of believing in yourself. Charity, love, and understanding alone have proven that these countries are clearly less efficient than countries espousing capitalism.

These three virtues, when working in unison, create a situation where you must prove yourself wrong and prove the charitable, loving, and understanding people right. All you need to do, if you want to do either, is to try your hand at something you think that you cannot do, and then accomplish it. The more things you accomplish, the more your future will change. You begin to stop saying the things that make you believe what led you astray and start speaking in a way that turns you into what you want to be.

Nevertheless, it is easier to stay out of trouble than it is to get out of trouble. It is much easier if we teach children to challenge what other people are telling them. This will teach them to believe in themselves and keep their beliefs based in fact and will make their future and the country future brighter.

Conclusion

I am not a Democrat, nor am I a Republican. I think both parties have had an equal hand in creating the situation we find ourselves in today. Most of the Democrats and Republicans in public office do not believe in the people. They have been in Congress too long, so the belief in the government is all they know. As I’ve said before, you cannot have two opposing beliefs that are equal in fervor, one will always have to take dominance over the other. When you start off in an environment like Washington, you may believe in the people, sure. But habit wins out over time and exposure, and little by little, you will vote for bigger government because you believe in the government more than you do the people. Unless term limits become applicable to the legislative and judicial branches, there’s very little to be done about that, I’m afraid. But there is something that can be done, we can stop believing in the government all we have to do is start believing in ourselves.

In our capitalistic society, which has our constitutional rights and where you believe in yourself and because you cannot believe in two opposing forces to be equal, the power to believe in yourself gives you the desire and focus to prove to the world that you can be all you can be. This desire to be better than your competition comes from the power to believe in yourself. When you overcome and prosper in this capitalistic society, your power to believe in yourself gives you the pride and dignity that progressivism, fascism, socialism and communism cannot accomplish. Remember, if you are not free from the tyranny of big government then the government controls your power to believe and controls your future.

You always need to be willing to challenge what people are trying to tell you all the time on the television, the radio, the newspaper. This gives you the ability to believe in yourself. You also, have, to challenge yourself regarding what you believe to be true. This gives you the ability to discover what is false in what everybody else believes and it also gives you the ability to discover the things that you believe are false in yourself. This corrects any falsehoods that you may have in what you believe and in doing so keeps your individual reality closer to the truth and closer to the facts so that when you rely on your individual reality to guide you into the future, it will give you the best possible future.

The most important thing to take from this is that you are in control of what you believe in. You are in control of your future. No one can force you to believe something. Your duty is to accept it and speak it as if it were your own. Challenging what other people are telling you, helps you to start believing in yourself. Believing in yourself is the most important thing that you can do for yourself. The one trait that all successful people have is they believe in themselves, all the time. You must believe in yourself if you ever hope to accomplish your goals and control your future. Believing in ourselves and that America is a good country, there is nothing that we cannot do.

Teaching children to believe in themselves is the second most important thing that you can do. If everybody who has read this helped one child to believe in themselves, such an effort would go a long way in solving so many problems that continue to follow us into the future. This will give the children the ability to create a life independent from the government and will give them pride and dignity that they accomplish their goals by themselves. Believing in themselves and that America is a good country, there is nothing that they cannot do.

Remember, success, is not a destination, but a way of life. It starts when you start believing in yourself. This is just common sense - which seems to be not so common anymore…
