The Game of Belief

This post showcases my poem titled, The Game of Belief, with an analysis by AI. It starts with a short and simple definition of the subject – Belief, and then offers guidance into how our individual beliefs influence our experience of life.

I feel one of the benefits of writing in a poetry style is the opportunity for the reader to personally interpret the words written, and over the years I have discovered many messages in this poem, but one still stands out for me and it is the words:

‘Stop blaming the world and blame your beliefs, they are the cause of what you fear.’

I hope you enjoy this post.

The Game of Belief

To believe is to know and never doubt,

to accept you deserve the wish that you have.

Know the difference between belief and hope.

Hope will give you comfort at times,

but belief is all you really need.

Feel the belief and know its truth,

and see the result with the mind.

Believe in your worth and your strength,

and feel the emotion of what you want.

Set your goal to reflect your beliefs,

for if you don’t confusion will be.

If goals and beliefs are not the same,

one will happen but not the other.

The world is your playground, your world of beliefs.

To change the play, change the belief.

There is nothing else you need do, or nothing else you can do.

For beliefs have power that are shown to you each day there is.

You live in that state that reflects your beliefs.

So stop blaming the world and blame your beliefs,

they are the cause of what you fear.

Dismiss those beliefs that bring you pain,

throw them away and let there be peace.

Do not create more, unless they are that,

“I am but love and nothing else. I am the energy, that does create.”

Believe in this and ask to feel, and then you will find,

you need nothing else. All goals will be of this true love,

and goals and beliefs will be the same.

The conflict will still be all around,

but you will be safe from pain and fear.

For you will see the game as it is, just a game and nothing more.

Then one day when all do choose, to believe in love and nothing else,

enough will see it is a game, and then it will be a game for all.

For now it is a game for some, a nightmare for others,

and in between for all the rest.
