Am I somehow supposed to still remain detached when creating a belief system or am I just supposed to realise that they are just beliefs and ultimately don't matter. However, looking at this more indepthly I realise that this is in fact a belief lol  This is all kind of confusing...I guess by living and learning you have the ability to easily change a belief system when it's warranted.

Always leave room for possibilities with beliefs that you are thinking about.
What does it mean to have a belief anyway? You can't just know what that belief is supposed to make you feel like and act as if you believe it. That would be just acting. To have a belief work you do need to bring into you reality to a level that makes you see or behave because of the belief.
In other words, I don't see how a belief does anything for you if you remain detached from it.
I general, I think we try to believe way more than we need to.
interesting topic!
