I thought it was the red pill.
Anyway, If you want to believe, you must first be able to believe in belief. The entire act of worship in religion is the process of being self-aware rather than only seeing your environment.
ie, using other's mistakes as a means to better yourself. "I see a person hurting another person, that makes me feel bad, so now I treat people with respect." Lesson learned, no blame, no shame, no retaliation.
It's about bringing the inner beauty within you into the world around you instead of allowing the external judgments and comparisons that make you feel bad into yourself and then projecting them back out into the world thereby reinforcing the cycle of self-destruction. In civilization, mindless self-preservation is an act of self-destruction in the eyes of those around you.
You are in essence saying, "Please, kill me now, I can't do it alone."
Fear and cowardice are butt-buddies.
Bravery and courage are soul-mates.
"...to be perceived as light, for I am the bringer of light, though the darkness belongs to my nature." -Baphomet
