Why are we able to think, imagine and memorize and why are we conscious? 
Our most important mental faculty is perception. 

After questioning the nature of reality, reliability of his own perception, and why he is conscious in the first place, the young warrior becomes adamant to take control of his mind and tame its scattered, wild and unruly nature just as one tames a wild horse.

Managing the mind means we take control, and we come to recognize that we have the choice and the ability to be successful or a failure, powerless or powerful, negative or positive, happy or sad, driven or lazy, hopeful or hopeless, meaningful or meaningless, peaceful or disturbed, creative or uninspired, dark or illuminated, bondage or freedom, ordinary or magnificent. All these fluctuations happen within the mind and this ability to shift is not just a change in attitude or outlook but a profound shift, a powerful force at the very core of our being.

Our entire life, the direction we are headed in, our decisions and our behavior, are all based on what we believe. Believes are about what we think of people, work, money, relationships, life, and God. But the most devastating beliefs are about what we think of ourselves. 

We are not born with our beliefs. We collect them as we go through life. We collect them through stories we hear, our regional culture, news we hear, positive and negative life experiences, education, workplace culture, friends, people we look up to, superstitions we hear, and religion. Beliefs are like programing codes in a computer program. If the code is corrupted or is not clear commands the computer program will not operate properly. When our belief is not based on fact, it becomes delusional. Delusion can be the result of incorrect information, error in memory, religious dogma, hallucination, as well as psychological disorders. 

When it comes to beliefs, how does shaman’s psychedelic journeys and mysticism higher states of consciousness contribute to changing perception and beliefs? And what does India’s ancient Puranic text say about other planes of existence as well as Viman flying vehicles? Enlightened warriors tell us that we are always free, and our belief is not who we really are but notions we have collected and agreed to make our own. 
Let’s dive deep into the Fog of Beliefs.
